Scientism is the thinking in the religion of Sciencetology. Supposedly, modern evolutionary scientists are science open minded to new ideas, theory, concepts, thesis, facts, hypothesis and evidences even if such were to bring evolution science into question or disprove it. Let's test that. What follows will test that.... See: LA Marzulli long neck mummy discovered You Tube. Got 5 minutes? Its about 5 minutes. Easy one. Dr. John Hawks might as a real intellectually honest geneticist would want to know all that could be known about the full long neck, red headed and elongated skull skeleton discovered, correct? What is the species found? What is its origin? What does the initial DNA say? How many differences are there between the skull specimens and the skull of homo sapiens? Now, evolution science is more interested in the proofs and evidences than it is in who finds them and makes them public, right?

@ 11:37 It's likely chariot armor. Similar heavy suits were present in China, but made of leather. Similarly, scale suits which were knee-length are known form the Near East, and these were also charioteer suits.

hmmm? I thought that humans and neandertal never interbreed each other.

The theory of evolution is just that a unproven unscientific theory trying to disguise itself as science, and it anyone came to scientist today for the first time with this theory scientist would think its a joke, and if it was put under the scrutiny of todays scientific evidence it would be dismissed as foolisnes.All Science can and is being taught today without the mention of evo without any loss in scientific information. Once you let a bunch of vipers into the house you may never get them out.

Why is he saying academics were confused by their lack of traditional Greek representation? They Minoans were not Greek. The DNA evidence has proven they were Semitic I thought and from the Mid East. Of course their culture wouldn't be Greek.

Talk starts at 4:28

I just cannot *believe* that the *U.S Government* would do *this* to its *own* people

Excellent material, except that this was obviously an Audio Visual presentation, and the nice person who set up the camera was kind enough to leave it focused for the first 16 minutes and for much of the rest of the lecture solely on the good professor's head while we are left to wonder what the visual portions of those parts of his presentation looked like.. I guess I'm an old curmudgeon.

Dr. Hawks is a thoughtful, insightful, and dedicated researcher. All the attributes of a terrific teacher.

Is anyone looking for Denisovan samples in Australia?

As Neanderthals were such a sturdy people, I am proud of my 3%. Just a few years ago when the thought of mapping the Neanderthal genome was still a "science fiction", I always hoped they'd be with us........and what do you know, they are.

Lower % of Neanderthals genes in Europeans vs Asian is not due to a later remix of asians with Neanderthal type humans More is like a population with lower Neanderthal genes mixed with Europeans This population is possible a later Near East population who was an admixture between an old Out of Africa population (with genes % of Neanderthals like Asian) and a new population that migrated later from Africa (with very low to zero Neanderthal genes)

There was a linguist who computer compared trasncriptions of texts in Linear A and considered it Aryan - related to Vedic and Avestan. Is the theory refuted or just the argumentation too brittle, so far?

What a great speech! Dr. Hawks is a real Paleoanthropology superstar! Thank U!

Humans and hominids such as the Neanderthal are related only via similar design. The two groups were adapted to different kinds of worlds; hominids were well adapted to this planet, humans needed a different kind of original home world altogether.

as a argive I'm not proud that my family has looted a lot of gold from mycenaen graves none of u know about. but theres a warrior grave yard and walls probly from around 1100 bc found on my ancestors land. seems most there grave goods were loot from turkey possibly troy. was 100 graves so far found.

What is the "slideware"(I don't have a better word) used that produced such cool graphics and visualizations? Not the charts precisely, but the zoom in and out feature, and the "desktop" feature of all the icons from the different graphics. It really helps in uniting the themes of the presentation together.

Extraordinary. Watching John Hawks talk makes neurons in my brain dance like they were microwaved. So many threads of human prehistory are appearing and entwining in the fossil record and genomic analysis at such an accelerating pace across the world, that it is tying us humans closer and closer together in our universal migration since we developed. Thanks Sidore lecture series for posting this video and doing such a good job producing it.

John Hawks, I am a big fan of yours. I have fallen asleep to your lectures more than once.Seriously, I watch your MOOC a lot. :)

very good!

Please check this out, another great video by Dr. Hawks - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqa1dImvf5xgZsU

I wish that he had an opportunity to finish what he was saying about Nurse Rivers. This was a great lecture

the thing about the sherbet basin and the little food storage in that monument is true. Because there was already a tradition of distributing sherbet after praying in the mosque. And later, they wanted to make this distribution process easier by filling that "basin" with sherbet and making it available for everyone.

very intresting lecture...i feel so proud to be greek because of our amazing ancient history :-)

Love my professors from UNH!!

Such a lovely couple.

You can explore a great deal about Minoan civilization and its long-successful workings in "CALENDAR HOUSE" at Ancientlights dot o-r-g.

Essences is stupid. I can say for sure that i would be heading in the same direction no matter what junk i had or how i identified. I could live as any plan, and i would not care and as far as masculinity and femininity goes i orient more in the direction of what culture defines as masculinity but i prefer to call it instrumentality. I reject the concept of identity and i have no identities and instead see them all as directions. I dont think these directions need to be linked to sex, so i reject the terms masculinity and femininity in favour of instrumentality and expressiveness as these terms link these traits to male and female. I dispute the idea a certain set of traits has to go with a certain body and i think identities like man or woman are socially constructed. I do think though that something deeper in the brain that somehow links up the physicality is the basis for the cause of gender dysphoria in some, a certain part of the brain develops to function under male endocrine conditions and with body parts in a certain layout. As a result some have an orientation towards physical maleness or femaleness (or other directions) and may not be born already in that direction. I dont think though this has to mean one has a certain set of personality traits or like a set of things culture has linked to that biological direction. So when i say i could live as any plan, only if the hardware was linked up, otherwise i would need to be a different plan, but i dont think that would have to make me different as a person in terms of personality or interests. But i can say growing up in a different box would influence things.

kephalus' comment at the end was hilarious

This was excellent. I fear that the Tuskegee Experiment is going to get lost in American History.

Thank you! this is very helpful research for college purposes. Much needed! Much obliged... my hats off to you.

Thank you for posting this. I am a college student and this study came up in the discussion on The Belmont Report... so I wanted to learn more about it... I had no idea how bad it was until I saw the monument of all the men that lost their lives.

For me, gender has always been a matter of adopting certain qualities and behaviors I saw from others in the same, perhaps, pursuit of identity growing up. It was by adopting this social role, this collection of norms consisting of said qualities and behaviors, that I was supposed to be able to feel and think of my self as a male. But, alas, I do not identify as male or female in the mental sense, and am not in a crisis of identity. I don't like makeup or dirt. I am fine watching a romance or action movie. I have no interest in sports. I can be aggressive and direct or passive and subtle, depending on internal and external circumstances. As it turned out, I have no need for such categorization. I identify by the qualities of my mind as they are, not as they are in relation to some demanded social norm. In my experience, I have found these categorizations of gender to cause harmful expectations for myself and of myself, which have isolated me from others and from my self in the past, when I decided to rid myself of them and instead celebrate individuality. On the contrary, I acknowledge how strongly and centrally people can identify with a gender, especially in the case of those who have struggled with gender Identity, like most of the transgender people I have met. I have a transgender friend, in fact, who came out in the time I have known her. I wasn't surprised, or shocked, or appalled, because I don't think of other people in terms o their gender, but their mental qualities. Society shouldn't create such stiff and rigid 'norms' for being and behaving, for in the distinct separation a person may awkwardly be split and left alone without much of a place. I've been there, and I'm not alone.

Nice! Better than the original for me

Interestingly, it was the Catholic Archbishop of Munster, Bl. August von Galen who was instrumental in causing the temporary suspension of the euthanasia program. Von Galen became known as the Lion of Munster due to a sermon he preached, in August of 1941, denouncing the euthanasia program. Bl. August von Galen, pray for us.

I performed this as the Bari player at FAU, and it was amazing. Love this piece.

After 40 years the amount of government officials that must have been involved in this deception had to number in the thousands.
