Anthropology 101 | The Science of the Human Species..and Dogs | (Explained)

[@lutzreloaded]

awesome content. thought this is a 300k channel first . tnx for the work you’ve put in!

[@davidianhowe]

Really appreciate the words man

[@theluftwaffle1]

Sent over from Stefan milo. Was not dissapointed! Liked and subbed.

[@davidianhowe]

Thanks!

[@Bigjoshwise]

Same! ❤

[@DadMaster]

I’m usually not down with videos longer than 15 minutes, but this was so good. I appreciate the comedic yet informative approach. Don’t go working at McDonald’s, keep posting stuff like this!

I prefer videos over 15 minutes. Dat dere attention span.

[@rdreher7380]

The Japanese word 青 does traditionally mean "gru" ie "blue or green" colors, and it is still used this way in a lot of expressions, but these days the Japanese would more often say 青 "ao" is blue, while the word for green is 緑 "midori." It is interested that the older ambiguous sense of 青 ao could have confused Ken Sugimori when he was tasked with drawing the first Bulbasaur art. Probably Satoshi Tajiri wanted to evoke 青 in the older poetic sense of a fresh, young green, often used to describe adolescence, but Sugimori interpreted this in the narrower modern Japanese sense of "blue." It reminds me of how many LoTR fans talk about this rather silly idea that Gandalf told the fellowship to literally "fly" when it was obvious that Tolkien was using the more poetic, archaic meaning of "fly" as in "flee, run away."

[@davidianhowe]

This is awesome. Thanks!. I posted this bit on TikTok and people lost their minds that "blue" doesn't always directly translate haha

[@sammygeee]

“Thanks for being human” - best sign off!

[@TheHistocrat]

Aww I thought I was gonna be the first history youtuber to make a Majoras Mask reference in a video but you beat me too it. Great video though.

[@davidianhowe]

MM has a special place in my heart haha. Thanks for watching!

You've gained a new sub and I haven't even finished the video yet. I can tell you're passionate about anthropology, and so am I! I particularly love the work if David Graeber. Looking forward to more!

Awesome! Thank you! Means a lot

David, wow. The first minute immediately grabbed me. What an excellent example of "putting the human into archaeology". Superb.

[@davidianhowe]

Read that disclaimer if you're commenting with a complaint or correction. Let me know what you guys thought of this type of video! I'm really curious to know.

[@naciremasti]

I was just thinking to myself 'I wonder what David's been up too', thought you gave up on your channel. I watch KZbin on a television, and am subbed to your channel but have never once gotten your videos in my sub tab. Weird.

[@davidianhowe]

@@naciremasti that is really odd. People keep telling me that. I wonder what gives

[@naciremasti]

@@davidianhowe ever since you did that colab with stefan I've never seen you in my feed. And you've released several videos since. I didn't even see that he made a community post about you, I just woke up thinking 'whats that guy up too', and there was a new video.

This video actually brings tears of joy to my eyes, it really makes me wish I had studied anthropology at uni ☺️

[@profharveyherrera]

You had me at "They were humans, they were us" Great video!

Thanks! 😃

Dog Burial was the first picture I saw from Ettore Mazza and immediately draw my attention. If it wasn't by this maybe I wouldn't got to know David's work. So, yes, it was an unexpected great beginning!

[@joshjspice]

You have THE best videos on this topic, EVER. Being legit honest with so much stuff and little silly yet true things like "Look at these antiquities!"

[@davidianhowe]

Thank you so much!!

[@jillm7061]

My parents paid good money for me to learn this information over years of schooling. This is an excellent and accurate video! 🎉

[@AshaBays]

As always, excellent video. I really dig the longer format. (Although I love your short videos too!) I dig everything about your style, and I’m happy to be a patron. Watching your video was a great way to start my day. Your comedic riffs and cutaways really make your content stand out. Your whole formula makes me super excited anytime you’ve got a new video dropping. I’ll definitely go back and watch it a few more times because it’s super entertaining and enjoyable, as well as informative. As always, I’ll be sharing with friends, because why on earth would I want to keep this to myself? Keep up the great work!

[@davidianhowe]

Thanks Asha!

[@lisatlantic]

Yaaas! It’s so good!

[@davidianhowe]

This is seriously one of the nicest comments I’ve ever gotten!

[@notbobrosss3670]

Thanks YT for giving me my notification of a new Howe video a week late. Anyway keep up the good work!

[@davidianhowe]

Oh wow really? At least it notified you I guess

[@davidwallace1594]

Dude, you make amazing content. I’m in the undergrad anthropology program at Portland State and I think you described cultural anthropology way better than anyone I’ve heard!

[@buttercxpdraws8101]

That intro was pure gold - showing KZbin how it’s done my friend!

[@crystalkass8007]

Yes! This is the first of your videos I have watched. I love anthropology…This is so fun and informative

[@moxiebombshell]

It is so indescribably fun to watch someone who's brain works like mine expound on something I'm also incredibly interested in. I get positively giddy watching you, dude.

[@davidianhowe]

This means so much. Thanks. Yeah it’s just different browser tabs that open up while on one page, and then I have to circle back to find the point / original tab I was on hahaha

[@calebwelch6393]

Fantastic Video!!! Looking forward to future content to show friends and family. I loved the following especially in the video: 1. Carlton cameo 2. Primitive Technology cameo 3. Otzi got whacked meme

[@Cybernaut551]

Excellent campfire vibes, I enjoy people sharing knowledge about life in the cosmos.

[@michaelwydysh]

I am subscribed but this video didn’t show up in my new videos feed. Awesome videos and wanted to make sure no one missed it.

[@davidianhowe]

Weird someone else said that too

[@lisatlantic]

Same for me actually

[@naciremasti]

I've been subbed since I first saw him on stefans video and ive never gotten these videos in my feed.

[@wilderwentzel2662]

I love seeing fellow anthropologists who are so in love with their study !! We are so full of love for humanity

[@Phil-uj4lj]

Your passion for the subject is apparent and makes the videos awesome to watch and listen to. Civ 5 *was* better.

[@jaysonparkhurst7422]

Good content! Your enthusiasm is contagious. This is stuff that’s important and interesting but hard to swallow in one sitting so thanks for making that easier 😅

[@davidianhowe]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

[@spencerwhite7528]

This is one of your best videos in my opinion, keep up the great work! I really enjoyed the longer format

[@davidianhowe]

Awesome, thank you!

[@paleotrekker402]

Thanks for the explanation of what Anthropology really is and thanks for being a sounding board for my questions on upper paleolithic clothing a few weeks back.

[@S3_Fabrication]

Just discovering this channel, well done! I love the “don’t @ me” attitude. Seriously tho, you make it fun to learn and interesting, thanks 🙌🏻

[@paujorba3318]

Great video!! I really like the way you approach the subjects. I watch a lot of history and archeology content and many times it is presented as a well rounded story (Probably great for KZbin). As you mention since we don't have a time machine it is all hypothesis to a certain level. I like that you acknowledge that and at the same time give your interpretation. Sprinkle it with humor, sources, researchers, etc... Thanks!

[@davidianhowe]

This means so much to me, thank you!

[@TimKapow]

I have no idea why I only just discovered your channel! But damn it is fantastic! PS: In isiZulu (I'm South African) the word for blue is indeed the same as green which is Luhlaza, but there is an alternate version for blue: Luhlaza Okwesibhakabhaka.

[@cherylwurtenberger7963]

I loved your video, I love textiles, sheep, wool and history. Best of all I love to learn. Thank you for making this.

[@borbo23]

Fantastic video - while you may "only" have a Masters degree in Anthropology, you clearly have a great talent for writing.

[@davidianhowe]

This means a lot, thank you!

[@nmalbrecht]

Amazing & engaging!! Subbed ... I homeschool my daughter, who’s going into 6th grade next year, we’re going to be covering human evolution & ancient civilizations, I feel like she would be able to watch content like this and not get bored or have it go over her head.

[@davidianhowe]

Well that's awesome! I know a lot of home school teachers that are super opposed to teaching anthropology, so this makes me super happy.

[@tobymeganbatton1974]

I've watched this video a few times now and the artwork in the beginning always brings me to tears.

[@richardstephens9647]

I love the artwork and the factual basis behind it. Really enjoying your videos.

[@april5666]

Excellent overview of an extremely interesting topic. I really enjoyed the comedic elements of your presentation-the trowel wipes were my faves.

[@davidianhowe]

Thank you!

[@carlinberg]

Oh god damn it, I'm half through this video and I just realized that I watched all your content in one day. I would have had lot's of fun for a week if I could control myself! Came over from Milo's channel. Great content, hope you make more, both longer videoes and the sketches with the french hunter gatherer!

[@davidianhowe]

Thanks so much! This means a lot.

[@maxanne5106]

I'm taking a Maymester class after the spring semester ends on anthropology, and since it's shorter I thought I'd start to learn now, and wow, this was making me tear up. Like, there's some big emotions I'm feeling about this and I'm so excited to dive even deeper. Thank you for putting information on KZbin

[@davidianhowe]

Oh wow! I'm glad I could help you out!

Suddenly I also feel OK again about being merely human. Great video, wonderful pedagogy and excellent humour. Subbed.

Really enjoyed this video it prepared me for my summer term introduction to anthropology tomorrow 😊

[@edtomorrow]

Love your channel and your videos are top notch! Great editing and humor, very captivating and entertaining!

This one got me thinking about how people go on about what's natural and not natural concerning humans and I'm just over here like, isn't everything we do natural?

[@justtime6736]

Thank god someone else notices this oddness. Nothing humans do is unnatural. If beavers could, they'd build a Hoover Dam themselves.

[@mistorWhiskers]

@@justtime6736 right, every time I see all natural on something at the store I scuff. What is corn syrup from Mars, will I stumble across a grove of wild pumpernickel trees? Even something like the phone I'm using, I don't recall reaching into the void and pulling it out of the beyond realm.

[@pureone8350]

@@mistorWhiskers Yeah, we designate something as “man made” vs “natural”, even though we are products of the natural world. We think of our actions as being somehow essentially different and separated from nature. Like somehow a beehive or a bird's nest is "part of nature" whilst a skyscraper isn't. I think part of this is due to our self aware nature.

[@rewq345faruk7]

Guys, we say our actions are different from nature because of our self-aware nature. Humans are a product of the natural world, yes, but we literally evolved to be “separate” from it because of our self-awareness. A beaver or an ant makes their constructs out of instinct, whilst an atomic bomb or New York City were made over long periods of time through collective learning and cultural progression, not by instinct.

[@jaysonparkhurst7422]

Weird dream I had after watching this, i lived a primitive life. Excuse the grammar: I dreamed I was with another individual in some sort of a camp with a perimeter set up but rather than having a gate at the entrance, it was just an open gap. In the middle of the camp was our structure for sleeping, very primitive, surrounded by a mote (I realized it was a mote after the dream). We had no complex language to communicate but I didn’t feel any lack of language, maybe I was used to not having a sophisticated language. Me and this other guy were busy throughout the days preparing this “camp” and gathering resources though we didn’t stray from the actual camp site (probably 300*300 sq meters). One day my comrade was in a sort of boat in the mote and I was around the sleeping structure when a lion, curious and malicious, started sneaking through the entrance. It attacked my comrade in the boat (perched along the edge of the water) and killed him pretty quickly. I had a large knife somewhat helix shaped. I knew I had to attack the lion at the neck and went for it, twisting the knife with each stab hoping to cause more damage. The lion fatally wounded me somehow, maybe a bite to my free hand, but I ended up killing the lion and then I died myself. Me, my comrade, and the lion lay dead around this primitive straw boat and then time passes really fast. Could be thousands or even millions of years. We all dry up, decay, and even our bones are hard to make out after enough time. Then in the peripherals of my view of this passing of time, advanced societies build and progress. I couldn’t help but feel that I wasn’t a primitive man from the past but a primitive man from the future. I pondered If modern civilization falls then there is little to separate “modern man” from “primitive man” and all of known anthropology could repeat itself.

[@maldito_sudaka]

I'm a history student, but if I had the option, I'd switch to anthropology without a doubt. It's my passion as well ❤️

[@naciremasti]

Your studying the history of what humans have done. Anthropology is the study of mankind, just because your focusing on events doesn't not make you an anthropologist too. Might not be your end title, but you're an anthropologist too.

[@SteepSix]

I speak Japanese well enough to think and dream in it, yet it is a second language for me. So I might have missed this subtlety during my time in Japan, but if I wanted to communicate green (of grass and leaves) I used 'midori'. For blue of sky and ocean I used 'ao(iro)'. For bluey-green just 'aomidori'. I encountered no more blue/green confusion there than I have here - or anywhere else for that matter. Having said that though, learning Japanese as a young teenager certainly did introduce a whole new way of thinking. Translating in real time between Japanese and English requires a certain frame of mind to do well. And speaking Japanese fluently after several years requires a warm-up period of a few hours. Unlike Tagalog which you can start speaking as well as ever after five or ten minutes. I also noticed several similarities between Japanese and Indo-European languages like Latin and others... I know it's heresy to say so but there it is! From des to est, hai to aye and nai to nay, etc etc... I see a connection.

This is great! Subscribed, bell, the lot! But now I wonder who sung the first song and what was it about and what that melody might have been. Maybe it began with humming or whistling? Imitating a bird or animal? Maybe someone hummed and someone said "I can put words to that?" and then did it rhyme and when did rhyme become appreciated . . . OH NO a rabbit hole of inquiry! . . . The first joke? Was it PC? Was it a dirty joke or some cool irony? Was it just mockery?

Oh man! You got a new sub bud. Ever think about how good anthropology leads to better politics? We just did 3 videos on the work of a 19th century Social Darwinist still relevant to some political conservatives today. Our major critique was that his whole theory is based on outdated anthropology -- so we should call into question political theories stemming from such a soured source.

[@naciremasti]

Anthropology the study of mankind. Anthro meaning mankind ology the study of. Great stuff David. Within all of your research on dogs, how common is it to find cats with dogs? I'd imagine the domestication of dogs happened first be it their usefulness, but do they find cats too?
