The Unknown They usually wouldn't attack an able adult human though, just children and elderly people. And humans would stick together in groups most of the time, keeping their young and old people safe. As long as there is easier prey than humans, there isn't much danger, except from a few individual predators with a taste for manflesh. And those can be identified and killed. Remember, we co-evolved with African predators, and as soon as you can organise a group and make flint-tipped spears, you can kill enough of them to make the survivors look for different prey. You might lose a few thrillseeking adolescent boys and young adult men hunting down the man-eaters, but later generations of predators wouldn't be as likely to hunt humans. A single human, however, or a small number of mostly children and/or old people, would attract predators, and therefore, situations like that were avoided by sticking together. Once the predators know that it isn't safe to get too close to a human tribe, you can be pretty safe just by singing and dancing around the campfire at night, to show off your presence and your strength. Every once in a while, one of your people will get eaten, well, bad luck. You'll have more children killed by sickness or hunger than by predators. A lot more. And you'll still have population growth as long as there is enough fertile land to be explored. Once the Neolithic Revolution takes hold, predators become a huge problem: Sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs, all those are much easier to prey on than their wild ancestors. That's why farmers always want to hunt all the predators to extinction, and to hell with the ecology. Now we have human hunters trying to regulate wild animal populations as good as we can (which means, badly), because we're the only apex predators left. We've got far too many deer and wild boars here in Germany, because the few dozen wolves living in a few locations just can't take care of them. Yet farmers keep shooting or poisoning wolves, even if they might go to prison if they're caught.

Well, no, actually. Mechanics were already a thing for centuries, and happened everywhere. But actual machines and industrialization basically only existed in Europe for a while and came to exist because of the bad living conditions: after the black plague in the 14 century it regularly returned so there was quite a bit of population lack. People needed machines to do the work, as there weren't people to do so. And before we knew it...Boom industry.

Not if you have a cheap enough labour force that would result in mechanisation not being worthwhile economically. It happened mostly because the cost of labour in England became weirdly high and subsequently replacing that labour force became a handy plan. This video's biggest problem is that it forgets that.

the mysterious Not really. See, before industrialization, there was no way to produce more food to feed a growing population as much as we have today. There also wasn’t a free market that could address shortages via trade. The state owned everything. Whenever a state started lacking in resources, which was all the time, the only solution was to concur another territory and extract its resources. This led to frequent collapse of kingdoms, no matter how long lived they were. Frequent collapse is the opposite of stable.

There wouldn't be a Tordesillas Treaty, meaning the world wouldn't be divided between Castille and Portugal. Since Portuguese domain in Brazilian coasts was legitimized by this treaty, and Castille's discovery of the Americas had more to do with Columbus getting information from Aragonese fishermen, I believe that would result in Spaniards total control of South America and the Caribbean. The stablishment of trading points in India and China are a whole different topic. I imagine any European potency would have arrived sooner or later.

+Rob Ski You want another bright side ?? No capitalism. Wealth would remain balanced in all classes, and generally, employance would not be such a problem, meaning that no man would be starving. Also, since colonisation is absent, Africa would remain untouched and nobody would take its resources, meaning that you wouldn't have children in Africa starving. Cultures rarely meet, globalisation would not even be a thing, ammunition would not have been made in such ammounts, ideas would not spread and people would revolt much less, meaning that, generally, there would be less wars and less bloodshed. I also belive that, even without medicine, people would not die or be sick from diseases that much, because people travel much less without modern transport, and so, diseases themselves would have hard time spreading. And yes, we would have healthier people and safer enviroment, because, besides global warming, air pollution that has strong effect on pulmonary diseases (asthma, bronchitis, even lung cancer) would be absent. There would be no drugs, because they wouldn't be able to travel from distant parts in Asia and South America. There would be no tobacco, too, reasulting in, again, healthier population.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

It should be remembered that for most of the period of the Industrial Revolution, the majority of industries still relied on wind and water power as well as horse and man-power for driving small machines. In which case, without steam engines, there still technically would have been factories, just not steam powered ones. Instead they would have been sophisticated wind and water mills, as well as solar updraft engines like the one first proposed in 1903 by the Spanish Colonel Isidoro Cabanyes. There may have also been mills powered by geothermal steam vents, hence steam mills. Not to mention concepts like “Division of labor” and “Assembly lines” would still be applied. In short, mass production would still be possible.

Being Scandinavian, I always play Viking. And I sometimes use my longboats to colonize the America's. This actually happened, but in our timeline the colonies were abandoned. So here's my proposition: WHAT IF... The Vikings extensively colonized the America's ? And held on to their colonies?

Hey AlternateHistoryHub! Being an Armenian, I've always been fascinated by everything Armenian, specifically their wars. Just in case you didn't know (which I highly doubt), Turkey, and Armenia have sort of been in a feud. In the early 1900's, due to religious differences and jealousy, over a million Turkish-Armenians were massacred in an unrecognized genocide. I was wondering: -What if the Armenian Genocide never happened? I know for a fact that Adolf Hitler actually brought up the Armenian Genocide to convince people on how no one would realize the Jewish people would be exterminated, and I'm sure a lot more would have happened if the genocide never took place. Since the Armenian Genocide remembrance day is this coming April 24th, I was hoping you could possibly make a video about it. Sincerely ~A random internet person
