CARTA presents The Origins of Today's Humans - QandA

[@beaulah_califa9867]

I love CARTA Symposia! So lucky that I discovered the Univ of California's TV Channel a decade ago. Videos on every subject under the sun (by educated people not random biased youtube channel owners) and CARTA just for the Study of Human Evolution. Give yourself a gift for Life and review the "About" Section of a KZbin channel before you believe what it tells you.

Sample size is crucial and identifying statistical significance !

Far to many ads. Its almost impossible to wach this.

15:53 No they tested green elephant bones and the cracks matched tool use by humans not a fossil cracking from road construction. Also if it was from road construction the other part of the bone would be there and it wasn't it was completely gone from the site. A marker was also placed vertically showing the location of the kill. Perhaps if you don't know about the site you shouldn't comment.

The oldest evidence of the bow and arrow comes from Sibudu cave in South Africa (dated to about 64,000 years ago. See/Search (studies): "Indications of bow and stone-tipped arrow use 64 000 years ago in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa" (by Marlize Lombard and Laurel Phillipson) And: "Quartz-tipped arrows older than 60 ka: further use-trace evidence from Sibudu, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa" (by Lombar and Phillipson) And also: "The antiquity of bow-and-arrow technology: evidence from Middle Stone Age layers at Sibudu Cave" (by Lucinda Blackwell et al.)

Was there a time stamp on the rock?

As for the cave system inhabited by Naledi, it should be emphasized that the cave system were of great importance to them for their survival and not to be found in abundance. The bones found deep into the cave might have been washed in or their might have been other openings. That their diet included exotic food in abundance (fruits etc.) is interesting.

When I saw that, and that they were concurrent with modern-type humans... I wondered if perhaps they were kept as slaves or livestock, and this was simply how they were disposed of when they died or became useless.

[@naimulhaq9626]

@@Reziac Very unlikely. In cases of enslavement without evidence of struggle or injury, it seems just a case of survival strategy.

@naimulhaq9626 - Berger has been soundly rebuked by peers for rushing to make a TV show and pushing papers without any proof of his claims.

Data.- (COVID)19 As our knowledge increases we become more and more certain in one way or another that our utmost use is being made of every possibility of evolution, and whatever it seems to us that in nature force is being wasted or opportunity neglected,it is not the scheme of the universe that is in fault, but our method of ignorance and intention.

27:20 "that's an awesome question" Lol. What? give the recent bantu colonizers even more welfare. Give them welfare for utterly destroying the pygmies and bushman? Wait I thought we were all from africa.

So scared to say anything that might be controversial.

[@indivestor]

Blah blah blah, the archeological record. These people know nothing and do not want to go off record.

[@larryparis925]

To Simon Phillips: Try to learn something about research, guy, and you might be surprised at the role of evidence.

[@MossyMozart]

@indivestor - I think that I will give far more weight to these researchers' words than to yours, whoever you are.

[@teresatestrake4639]

This presenter is very difficult to follow. Uses many generic terms such as stuff, alot of things, jumps around a lot.
