What happened to the other Human Species?

Human evolution can’t help but fascinate us - the story of where we came from. Today we, Homo sapiens, are the only human species left. But that wasn’t always the case….
For millions of years, there thrived a great range of early human species. From small-brained island dwellers in Indonesia to the robust Neanderthals that dominated so much of Eurasia for hundreds of thousands of years.
With the help of human evolution specialists Dr Chris Stringer and Dr Fred Spoor, Tristan Hughes explores a list of five extraordinary early humans that went extinct.
Interviews shot at the Natural History Museum.

One of the hypotheses for Neandethal extinction is that they had more difficulty than Sapiens finding enough food during the ice age. Because Neandethals are bigger and much more muscular than modern humans, they require a lot more food to survive, estimated to be between 3,500 and 5,000 calories a day. When resources were scarce in the ice age, the smaller homo sapiens would have had an advantage.

We interbred with all of the other sapiens and their genes resulted in our Land Races. From an evolutionary sense we did not all come out of Africa and there are multiple "races" within Africa . The Khoi San people are our actual ancestors and the origin of the human species and the central Africans must have DNA from other sapien species .

Another exciting project is led by Mateja Hajdinjak at the Max Planck Institute, she's looking at Neanderthals and early H. sapiens to figure out what exactly makes humans human. If you want to know what happened when early humans left Africa and encountered new fauna for the first time, you should keep an eye on Peter Heintzman and Maja Krzewinska at Stockholm University.

On the point with brain size and complex behaviors, several birds like crows and ravens, have small brains in size but are also capable of many complex behaviors. Wouldn't that show it's not only brain size when it comes to intelligence? If so, wouldn't the blue whale be the smartest animal?

@michaelsilver253 4 ай бұрын

I think he's speaking mostly in terms of species of humans, where the brain composition is pretty similar but come in different sizes, where as other animals have more differences in the make up of their brains so it's not just a matter of size. Like blue whales have the biggest brains but without a higher developed frontal lobe it only goes so far in terms of handling complex concepts

I think that a problem for comparing it is that all of the fossils are not of early people that were the exact same age and height. You cannot compare cranial capacities of an 8yo to a 24yo. Or, a short hill tribe person of Thailand to Andre the Giant. I watched another show where they attempted to recreate brain maps, using some sort of scanning of fossils, of a Neanderthal to a modern human. If both were adults skulls, the earlier actually wasn't a lower and longer skull. The Neanderthals had larger parietal and temporal lobes, which deal with processing of sensory information and memory. Or, at least the proportions heavily suggested it. Similar frontal lobe size for dealing with personality/higher functioning. No surprise that they were able to develop most of the early tools as well as the first signs of artistic expression. I have had several college neuroscience classes and have performed cranial-sacral techniques of a wide variety of ethnicities over the last 16 + years. I am very fascinated by this and geek-out any time a new ethnic variety hops on my massage table.

@palkokity8235 4 ай бұрын

@@tinobemellow you can compare the general shape but there are growth plates in the skull, just like the long bones of the body, that do not fuse into solid bone until teenage hormones. So the 8yo skull still has not reached it's full capacity. It would be like comparing the 8yo and adult (thigh) thigh bones. No quite fair for comparing the two people. Then, there are other traumatic differences that affect the overall shape that complicate it further. I could do a day long lecture, at least, of what I have discovered from 16+ years of working with living skulls.

Right now, our ability to travel the world and mix our genes is preventing that. But. Human civilization is dying. Nobody is having kids. It's a global event. It's especially the case in cities, where most everyone lives. So, imagine that in 4 or 5 generations, everyone living in a city has died without children. World travel stops. We become farmers again. Maybe there is enough time for speciation then? Maybe not. Give it just a few thousand years of farming and people will make cities again. Only to die out again. Cities are where blood lines go to die.

I think I've worked out what defines us as a species now; we always initially think we're more complex and evolved than other species.... until the evidence tells us that we're just like them. In terms of Neanderthals dying out, can a species that has merged with another really be called dead? I don't consider my great grandparents as extinct as a species, but their genetics merged to create this new combination called me. If they started families and tribes combined with homo sapiens then they probably all stayed together, rather than procreating them leaving their partner to hide under a rock and go extinct.

We've got people that were living lifestyles that were completely stone Age but to the north we had more modern human beings on the islands with African features meaning there was two definite distinct waves of people. Also many Australians believe that the hobbits were in Australia and the Aboriginal people wiped them out when they got here . Sadly we're not allowed to do any research because the distant relatives of the Aboriginal people who run all the councils don't want any evidence of hobbits found because they will then lose their claim to welfare being the first people end of course if something significant is found they can't sell it to the mining companies

Just want to tell all of you that haven't heard of it because, disappointingly, there are MANY closeminded paleoanthropologists...the aquatic theory of human evolution is something i hope you all research. Basics are that the first upright hominids were isolated on an island for a loooonnnngggg time. Like many island creatures we changed. Surrounded by water, they gradually went into the water for food, or relief from heat, or protection from predators. The more daring in the group went further in, harvested more food, perhaps saved youngsters from predators. Point being, those who went in further would, without knowing it, be priming their bodies for going upright. Might have taken thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, but generation after generation, we just naturally stood up in water. The anti-gravity feel of water would have made it easier as time went by. (In my mind the braver went further, brave equals good mate.) They probably slept in trees at night, thus the curled fingers and longer arms. I think, personally that that is when we lost our hair, not on purpose, but because it was heavy in water. Less hair equals better survival in water equals better mate. IF that was ALL that happened, it would be enough for me, but wait...there's more. We have things the other apes don't, like a thicker layer of subcutaneous fat (babies in particular), we cry salt tears (perhaps to rid excess salt from body), some humans are still born with webbed fingers and/or toes. Female sexual organs have shifted just as many aquatic species, we sweat salt, our nostrils are pointing down...and if you...right now...push your upper lip up, it fits right into our nostrils...the apes don't have that. These are just a few of MANY differences that they DON'T teach in our anthropology classes. Second point being...coming down from trees to get the lowest hanging fruit is ridiculous...we already did that. Going upright to look over bushes...already did that. You pick the low hanging fruit and go on about you business on all fours because it's faster. The Savannah Theory ...we ate it up because the professors said it, and they are the experts right? ONLY IF THEY ARE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS!!!!!! And how DO they explain our ability to swim and enjoyment of water??? It is not chance that most fossils, indeed most humanity, can be found near water. The MISSING fossils are probably long ago washed away by the sea. Just please check it out on your own...be good scientists and stretch your minds. It's a fascinating theory from the 1960's by a scientist named Hrdy. He was laughed at. Elaine Morgan took up the fight to have the theory recognized. She has a few good books, used on amazon for cheap. David Attenborough has mentioned it as a plausible theory, but what we need is scientists to just THINK on it. Going upright was a BAD move, as anyone who stands all day will attest to. Losing our hair, so we had to carry slippery babies was a BAD move. (That some hair was left on our heads, so that babies could hold on themselves in water when hanging on to mom) Thanks for listening to me babble...spread the word...minds are to think with, not shut down others theories!) One last thought...the mediterranean was dry for much of 5.3-6mya. Maybe it happened on one of those islands. My money is on Zanzibar and Pemba, islands off Tanzanian coast. ( Almost parallel with the footprints found in Tanzania) Elaine Morgan thinks the Afar triangle. But if minds don't open, we will never get the chance to say "Maybe?" Aquatic theory has been the most fascinating theory i've ever ever come across, and it blows my mind that our illustrious professors answer to it is that there is no proof. Love it that you all watched this video!! Peace out...✌️

Well the way you descibe human evolution sounds more like Lamarck than Darwin. Thats not how evolution works. You either have a feature or you don't have it. Variety comes from mutations not from active adaptations. And every animal is drawn to water. Its literally essential to survival. We are terribly adapted to spend a lot of time in the water compared to other species. Nostrils pointing down doesn't prevent water going in. Its so we don't put rotten smelling food into our mouths... Going upright on two legs was clearly a great success for our species and its also for many birds. No other mammal can breath and run like we can. It made us great endurance hunter. Similar to wolves. You shouldn't call others, especially experts close minded, if you don't understand these basic concepts of biology.

Oldest Homo erectus in Africa is from South Africa at 1.9 mya. Some want to call the early African form Homo ergaster, but support for this separation has been fading. Youngest Homo erectus is from Indonesia at 108 000 years ago.

Unbelievable that there are still people denying evolution and saying “show us the proof! Show the intermediate fossils!”. Well here you go.

@vesuvandoppelganger 2 ай бұрын

Since humans didn't evolve into existence, there are no intermediate fossils. Imagination does not make a fossil intermediate.

Interesting that the dwarf-like human species remains were found on isolated islands. Makes me wonder if Homo Erectus dwarfs could have become outcasts from typically sized groups of Homo Erectus, and were forced into exile on several islands in that area. Once a few of them made it to the islands, they reproduced, and began a dwarf sized offshoot of Homo Erectus, evolving into their own species. I think this is what the video implied? He only hypothesized that a few smaller sized Homo Erectus made their way to the islands, but I don't think he mentioned the possibility of them being driven from their group due to their size, but I know primates are known to reject members of their groups due to physical differences, handicaps, etc

I've read about Neanderthals having a distinct RH negative type of blood. Could that be the answer? It would cause them to stay in their own groups. They may have been reluctant to mate with others due to deaths when they went outside of their groups. The Basques certainly have one of the highest percentage of RH negative blood type in the world, as do some other mountain dwellers. IDK It seems logical to me.

Maybe it was just a very fuzzy backside with sunlight glistening off of it. What wasn't captured in the picture was a pair early humans, with one asking the other, "How do they get their backside so silky soft? First known shampoo advertisement.

I understand that more good evidence needs to be found in the Homo naledi case. But still there is the very good question why did they find Naledi deep in that cave. If Naledi used the cave for shelter, than the remainings would have been found at the etrance. If they used it to store things than that would have been almost impossible to drag back out. So what were they doing there if not doing something that has no practical purpose. Maybe it was nothing that they had invented on their own but copied from other human species.

It’ll be interesting when AI is far more advanced and help humans understand more about ourselves than we possibly can with just found evidence, like predictions about how future humans would look

What happened to the other human species? Most of the time, our ancestors had peaceful relations with them. However, from time to time, especially when there was a famine, they hunted them, cut them to pieces and made a stew out of it; a stew that they devoured. I'm told it was pretty delicious...
