Herbaceous video coming soon here nebula.tv/stefanmilo

Just imagine how much fossil evidence is now under water... A lot !

When I was a little kid, I wished there were more movies and user friendly content to help explain all these concepts and theories because it's beyond fascinating - like finding rare, buried treasure on an epic adventure. Now I find a noble Homo Sapien has filled the gap by creating all this informative, wonderful content for the curious of all ages. Thank you Stefan Milo :)

Awesome......totally mind-blowing when you think about it. Thanks for uploading.

The content is fascinating, well researched and presented. In addition, your voice, pacing and wording are very easy listen to and keep me interested. Your enthusiasm about your topic is infectious. Thank you so much.

Oh boy. Another channel to randomly stumble upon to binge over the next few nights.

I enjoyed a lot this research, your work is beautiful and considering I have no expertise in this field I understood everything. Thank You so much Mr Stefan Milo Hugs from Costa Rica

what a great and informative video. great energy and explanations, thank you for this!

Thank you for your time and efforts. Very interesting content! Looking forward to your next one! We really appreciate it!

One of the best compiled informative videos about prehistoric hominids I have seen up to this point. Credible work!

Stefan no surprise, thoughtful, informative, I'm always looking for a new one from you. I got desperate and went to the archives and found some I had not seen. When you do that I can see the growth . I've shared with relatives. I do what I can for you. LOVE your stuff and your passion.

Your videos are fantastic. There are few things more fascinating then the evolution of humanity. I doubt we will ever develop a fully-realized model, but we are getting closer everyday to understanding how we all got here. Keep up the good work my friend.

I've only recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. One thing I like best about your work is that you are willing to produce documentaries on topics which are not yet resolved, by which I mean you can't end them with a neat and tidy wrap-up and bow. Of course, most any science topic can be said to be still under investigation, but I think you know what I mean here. I'm an old guy and throughout my life have enjoyed the work of many science and popular science writers/producers/educators, starting back in the day with Isaac Asimov. Thanks so much for what you're doing and for keeping so much of your content free. I understand that your Nebula productions are inexpensive but unfortunately, even that small expenditure is a bit much for me at the moment. Best wishes.

Very educational video! Amazing! Thank you, Stefan! 😀

I think you found the balance between on camera and narration in this 1. Chaw well done! Thank you very much.

I was hoping you wouldn't be able to finish the video. I could have watched so much more of this. Amazing stuff

I love your video. I have been fascinated about Human Ancient history and was brought up in Kenya, and met Prof Louis Leakey as a child in Nairobi Zoo. My mother took us and I knew what she was planning. She had been reading books at home on the evolution of Humans, and in TIME-LIFE magazines which educated us children. I am now an old soul but I still follow the progress of Anthropologists like you. Thank you so much for posting your discoveries! Cynthia Allen-McLaglen

Your videos are fascinating, Stefan. Brilliant delivery. Thank you.

Thanks Stefan. I like how you explore the findings with careful analysis and insightful skepticism.

The information you provided was so fascinating I’m glued to the screen.

Good job on this video. I was looking for a concise video on this subject. Keep up the good work

The idea of very early humans leaving Africa and then spreading out across thousands of miles through lush and exotic locations for millions of years and caring for each other to such a degree that they were even chewing food for older relatives is...breathtaking. It's hard to not feel a sense of obligation to that legacy and to doing our part in advancing ourselves so that future generations can look back and say the same.

amazing to see you become a proper documentary maker

Milo absolutely love your channel. I learn everytime I watch . Thanks for the wealth of info

I CANNOT WAIT! For the Stefan Milo 4/20 video. 🔥

excellent coverage of a topic I had been thinking about a lot recently. The revelation that the first hominid out of Africa was likely at least 2.5 Million years ago and was something between an australopith and homo habilis is really something amazing. Thanks for keeping on top of the latest developments

Loved this! Blew my mind with new info and the thoughtful way you put it all together. Bravo and thanks for this!

Excellent you providing highly credible information

Really informative and well-done, many thanks.

Been looking forward to this video since you put the preview out. Did not disappoint. Thank you!

Your passion for the study of ancient hominins is infectious. Every time you upload I just feel more and more proud of our ancient relatives 😎

Thank you very much this was just fascinating. Your enthusiasm for the topic was obvious

A very interesting and informative video. Thanks Stephan

This channel is riveting. Thank you for all this information, it makes us wonder where we've come from and where we're going. It seems that we have learned so much over the last two million years that has both aided us and inhibited us. You have to laugh. Going to look for your channel on Nebula.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video Stefan. After I found out about Sahelanthropus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahelanthropus I got to thinking about whether they "talked"? Surely they made vocalizations and surely those vocalizations had meanings to other members of their tribe(s), and I got to to feeling "sentimental" in imagining their lives and feelings and thoughts, and I've been a little sad that VERY few people have the strong, vivid imagination AND the tender heart that lead to caring about such obscure ancient stories. But the last minute or so of your First-Leave-Africa video made me glad to feel that You have such imagination and care. Thanks! Matti

I just wanted to say thank you for making such beautiful, engaging and fascinating videos. Getting better all the time!

I share your enthusiasm for this subject so really appreciate your videos. The presentation, the detail, the depth and the research you do and effort you make. Bravo!

Another wonderful video. Your channel and North 02 are my most favorite I will always know they will be excellent. Thank you

Thank you. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos.

I really enjoy watching your videos everyday (even at work 😅). The way you teach and explain everything is enjoyable and not overwhelming. Thank you for all the videos and your time making them, always excited for the next video!

~0:32 Note that the Apidima Cave find isn't definitively a Homo sapiens - it's closer to H. sapiens proportions than to later Neanderthal proportions from the same area, but falls within the range of diversity for earlier Neanderthal remains from other parts of Europe. If anyone is interested in learning more about OOA 2 and the diffusion of modern H. sapiens across the globe, I have a video all about the topic on my channel called "Discovering the World".

Great watch, very informative. Thank you for all your hard work!

Answers the question in first 15 second, expands, tv quality production value, funny, great personality, no bs, to the point, good data and presentation, like and subscribed.

I love your channel. Just straight up Stefan Milo. Your titles describe what you will be talking about. Your videos are very well produced and it's clear you take great care in their production and your presentation. Thank you for doing what you do man.

Love your work and love the subject matter. Love this channel! This one was especially enjoyable to watch. The human story is enamoring and enigmatic and--however distantly--ultimately relatable, if we allow.

Very grateful for this incredibly intresting content on youtube.

Great video, great presentation, wow just love this clip , its just fascinating

This is really high quality content. Thank you.

Absolutely love every single video you make. I say it every time, but please keep it up Stefan!

Thank you, I can't get enough

Absolutely fascination topic! Love this channel

I'm often curious why hominins spreading from Africa into Asia should be considered so extraordinary when mammals have been moving between continents for millions of years. Thanks for another great, Stefan! You never disappoint! 🙂

Love it when I get a notification that you've got a new video out!! This was awesome, and now I'm really excited for the upcoming Nebula vids 🤩

Your voice.. I know as a guy it's weird to say. But it's very comforting I listen to it and I feel like we just having a chat over things I find helluva interesting. Even as someone highly learned in Early Hominids from my grandfather (he would take me to a South African site known as Border caves and I'd pick up Homo Sapiens stone tools from 70 000 years ago like it was nothing) it's so great to listen to you and fill the gaps.

Thank you for another enjoyable video, Stefan! You deliver a lot of interesting information with a rare, but infectious passion.

Great video, interesting to see how far back we can go with evidence concerning migration. Really nice job

Love your work Stefan wish more people saw it, I try and show it to as many as a possible

Oooooo you’re on nebula!!❤❤❤ followed and going to binge!

One of my favorite videos you've done so far. I might even be convinced to get Nebula knowing you're on there now.

Your videos keep getting better and better.

Truly a wonderful video, thank you for sharing this information and in quite a well done manner. I had always wanted to be an anthropologist

Such a interesting and entrtaining narrative! Super!

This is a better teaching summary than my entire 3 semesters of Anthropology. Nicely done!

Our little friend from Flores certainly threw a spanned in the works I was there a few weeks ago and this video certainly has some interesting theories that have been on my mind lately Your story telling is getting so much more professional Well done

Very nicely done documentary. Keep it up. 👍

Thanks for all the info. I like that you stick to the known evidence & that you don't make wild speculations as do many podcasters. I will look for your history of the magic herb. I am vaping some "Maui Wowie" as I watch your video on this rainy Sunday morning in Central Kentucky(US).

Packed with rich information, this is a wonderful video.

Great video. Thank you for all the research you do!

Another absolute banger of a video

great video. yes, it is fascinating. thank you!

Brilliant as always!

Yay new video!!!

I liked the video. Hopefully new fossils can be found that shed more light on this topic.

you just do amazing work! thank you

Very interesting. Please keep it up. We are following.

You are by far the best educational content creator on KZfaq.

God this is an incredible video! So interesting how one discovery can complete change the current understanding of our evolution. Every time I watch your videos it fills me with so much joy and gives me such an appreciation for the life we have

The longer the better. I really enjoy your content.

I’m doing my archaeology degree in york this year and you totally inspired me to persue the prehistory section! Awesome vid !!

Great new video! I love all the work you do!

Another wonderful video. Just as in historical times, human colonization has occurred in waves, rather than a continuous. Great content, as always.

I'v just found you.. how happy I'm I.... what joy... lovely voice

It is fascinating. ❤ Thank you sir! 😊

Call me a skeptic, but I have difficulty accepting this video could be made, and only a single spoon was used.

I always liked the coastal migration theory, I'm not qualified in anyway just seems common sense, love your videos, thank you!

Great stuff Stefan, again.. You're a star mate.

Dude you rock thank you

Finally a video dealing with the amazing Out of Africa 1 pioneers. Any ideas where the Red Deer Cave People might fit in to this scheme of things Stefan?

Out of Africa two sounds like a boxing rematch. Easy to remember though. Great video btw.

One of your best Presentations

Great video Stefan.

You’ve evolved from a really funny and smart guy making quirky videos to one of the most polished and informed video producers working in Anthropology. It’s been a joy to be along for the ride. And congrats on the weight loss! It’s a bitch, innit?

In Flores, when working in a University in Eastern Indonesia in the 1980's, I went to a museum in Maumare with examples of the "tiny people". So they were known before then. Local people talked about legends of these tiny people.

This is was a great video.

I love the commitment you have to this history of our species. So fascinating! Long may you explore this!

Hi Stefan I love this Video and all your previous ones. On the idea of migration over the Himalayas, my understanding is that the Himalayas have grown between 3-5mm and 10-15mm annually or in the devils units 1/8"- 1/2" in elevation per year, for the past 2-3.5 million years. That averaged out over 50K years and the entire range at most might have been 600m or 2000ft a minimum of 100-150m or 3-500ft lower in elevation right?. Now you can call me crazy, but when I've visited the west coast specifically Whistler-Blackcomb its right around 150-200m or a few hundred feet from the year round glassier on top, to rich dense primarily coniferous forested slopes. speaking from experience the difference in the air density is noticeable too. so surely when we're talking about 1-500K years and elevation overall drop of lets give it a mean of 200K years and low end growth rate for 800m or 2640ft that's practically the entire skiable elevation of Whistler-Blackcomb. this must have a substantial impact on migratory patterns on the homo's of that time no?

Hi Stefan, as always, thanks for a great vid. Could I add a few comments? When you speak about the significance of the individual who left us Cranium D344 and jaw D3900, initially I thought that you did not appreciate the full significance of this, assigning it as you did, as an example of cooperation, as in the individual is fed rather than eaten. In fairness though, towards the end of the video you begin to appreciate the significance when you speculate that someone must have really loved this individual. That an individual was nurtured and fed, for such a time that the jaw had absorbed the tooth holes, has an extraordinary significance in respect of these people, who may have been our forbearers. This has to be contrasted with our contemporary nomadic people who sometimes abandon their elderly during migrations. Yes, not only its immediate family supported this person, but also, presumable the tribe. Whilst the response of the immediate family are patently expressing love as we understand it, (in itself a phenomenal discovery as to our humanness as far ago in history as 1.8m years) the support of the wider tribe, which can be inferred from the fact that a single family could not possibly support a non-contributing individual, is that the tribe values this individual. The contribution of the aged individual is presumably only important if they can recall past history, experience, and the all important "corperate knowledge" and then communicate it to the following generations. Other research suggests a 35 year life span was the norm. Consequently, i suggest that the value of this individual to the tribe is only of benefit if they can communicate to tribe members beyond the family. And to do this, they would need to be able to converse. Is this circumstantial support for proto-human speech 1.8m years ago?

You are doing excellent work through research, sheer hardwork and deep study. Highly appreciated 👍👍

Your passion for your work really shines through ❤
