Old Europe; when I was in primary school in the 80's in Romania in my native little town on Danube - Oltenita, I visited the local history museum. It was dedicated to the old neolithic culture of Gumelnita (and Boian) and contained artefacts found in the villagages nearby. I still remember some fascinating ceramic objects, a skelleton and even some fossilised wheat. I read Gimbutas' book Civilization and Culture (Romanian title) later in the beginning of the 90s.

I believe that an appropriate 'new narrative' is that Old Europe teaches us that civilization is not guaranteed. Perhaps a lesson we should be reminded of.

[@ThenWhatever]

Fantastic story about iranian settlement. It amazes me how funny it can be the concept of a human being stealing objects from an archeological sight, comparing it to make a copy of a book. Really, hearing no comments about this continous pillage that is being done in the name of archeology is frustrating.

[@MelBee128]

Well that brings up the issue of who owns history. Society needs to decide what's more important. Retaining artifacts in popular tourist cities so humanity can learn where they came from? Or making sure that all artifacts remain in the care of the original country where they were found even if that means they could be destroyed by war or never studied because the nation has no interest or funds to put them in a museum? Unfortunately, many of the countries where artifacts are found are either torn apart by war, economically unstable, or corrupt. I'm sure they would love to be able to display artifacts and invite scholars from all over the world to come and study them but many of them are incapable of doing so. I remember during the Iraq War all those news reports of the Baghdad museum being bombed and thousands of artifacts being destroyed. Incidentally a lot of those early artifacts were left behind by people who were themselves colonizers. The Hittites, Akkadians, Egyptians, etc.

[@tianatucker4870]

I was just looking through the comments upon hearing that. I’m really enjoying the lecture but lightly comparing the theft of an ancient artifact to violation of copyright law is insane, and a weird tone to set for incoming students.

Also surprising is the fact that he's still using chalk and not a whiteboard. In fact why doesn't he use a projector and PowerPoint, this is surely he has to give this lecture more than once

[@radicalantitheist]

"this is surely he has to give this lecture more than once" have you been watching the previous lectures, he repeatedly says this is the first, and maybe the last time he is teaching this course. world history is a brand new course and this course is not even about the actual history, the point of all the particular bits of history he brings up are only to contrast and compare with the text book he helped write this is not a course about world history, this is a courses about the current problems with the idea of world history. p.s. pay even more attention and you will notice that 95% of the time he is lecturing entirely off the cuff with no notes at all

[@RagingBlast2Fan]

Richard seems not to understand that his thesis does not harm veganism, rather it supports it. The fact that humans _STARTED_ to eat meat, their teeth _STARTED_ to get smaller, and their intenstines _STARTED_ to get shorter, ALL unanimously imply that we were originally vegans, who, at some point decided to eat meat for some of the benefits that it offers. Perhaps at that time we really needed the nutrients and it was easier to eat by meat. It was of no concern to them that they might at some point experience disease that is commonly associated with the consumption of meat simply because they didn't get old enough for the negative side of a meat-based diet to appear. I don't know how he missed it, but from what he has said he hasn't harmed by veganism, rather I feel comfortable knowing that my choice is not only ethical, but appeals to what we, as a species, were designed to eat.

[@drkent3]

You seem to not understand that Richard is not talking about HUMANS at this point, but hominid species that we evolved from. In other words, since humans have evolved from that time, ingesting all of the necessary nutrients and calories from plants is much more difficult and requires careful preplanning. Meat doesn't cause disease, it is overeating as well as antibiotics and hormones used to increase production that causes problems. If meat caused early death, our hominid ancestors would have lived a longer life than we do - and that simply isn't the case.

THE FUTURE COULD BE BRIGHT Planetary degradation - The anthropocene, the current era and predicament we are all in, included are the animals, and incase no one noticed, the earth as well. Historically humans have been eating animals, but nevertheless, in the past humans have also been eating plants as well, humans have been in comparison to other animals, have been notoriously industrious, to a point where in modern times we have altered and influence the natural world, heading towards a potentially disastrous situation, where industrial civilization has become an existential threat to all life on the planet. There is one industry that is destroying our planet and our ability to thrive on her, it is the leading cause of everything. Climate change. Ocean dead zones. Fisheries depletion. Species extinction. Deforestation. World hunger. Food safety. Heart disease. Obesity. Diabetes, and the list goes on. There is one issue at the heart of all these global problems that is too often overlooked. It is the demand for and reliance on animal products. Animal agriculture is only one industry that is causing a great deal of damage, to the environment-the natural world, free-living animals and indigenous peoples and their cultures, the meat industry derived from invasive cultures and these invasive cultures have colonized and implanted themselves in many countries all over the world. And one of the only ways to combat this is by boycotting the meat industry, this is the least we can do in order to adapt to this dysfunctional situation created by these invasive cultures. As for the other industries imposed by these invasive cultures, well there are many organization going up against these destructive industries, but the meat industry is one that is overlooked, even by groups and or communities who have been heavily and negatively impacted by industrial society.

[@ernestswazo3215]

First he sets up a false narrative.

[@richarddavis3906]

What is this lol

[@ninja21222]

he talks a lot of untruths. he ascertains that the reason our dentition narrowing was due to us eating meat, simply not true, this is when we started cooking this not only softened food but made the nutrients more bio-available to be digested, raw foods have more nutrients but we can't digest it easily. We are actually biologically a herbivorous species but that is another point, but to give a few pointers for you to research, all herbivores sweat to cool themselves but carnivores and omnivores pant-if still too hot they wallow, herbivores suck water to drink, carnivores and omnivores lap up drink, all herbivores have sideways moving jaws to grind foods and all carnivores and omnivores can only move their jaws up and down, herbivores all chew their foods before swallowing but carnivores and omnivores tear food then swallow in a gulping action-no chewing etc I could go on and on.... He broaches the topic of racism in 19th century 'scholars' and then goes on to claim the origins of history lies 'in old europe' with whites 5000years ago, which is not true either. search for Catal huyuk which is 9,000years old and pre agricultural with multi-storey buildings, art, luxury goods etc look up Gobleki Tepe too if you want true information about proto history in neolithic man. These sites are in southern Anatolia in modern day Turkey. There seems to be a lot of politics in ancient history, the egyptologists rejected the truths of genuine ages-ancient egypt is way older than egyptologists wanted to admit, part of this I guess is that 'the experts' suddenly are wrong and rather than learn the truth it is easier to dismiss and discredit the new information then embrace truth and learning, the basis of learning especially science is 'we're pretty sure this is wrong, but it's the best we've got right now, so we'll run with it until a better one comes along' :)

[@ashennell]

You're wrong about us being herbivorous. We are adapted to an omnivorous diet. Dental narrowing may have been due to a change in diet to cooked foods or to eating more meat, probably both. There is plenty of evidence of an increase in meat consumption.

[@domisthebomb09]

Found the picky vegan

[@Natureorganica]

Most primates are omnivorous and they sweat, drink via suction, chew their food etc. Also snakes are purely carnivorous and definitely dont lap up their water, they can move their jaw however they like, and they dont sweat nor pant for that matter because they're reptilian. So the biggest "untruth" here is you lumping all carnivores and omnivores into the same category and then saying it reflects humans being herbivores.

[@ninja21222]

@@Natureorganica My apologies Benji. I failed to specify "mammals" in my comments. I wasn't talking about worms, slugs, ants etc or birds or reptiles etc just mammals of which we belong.... Humans have always eaten other humans when circumstances force us to, and it is understood by sailors worldwide. But this is not their "normal behavior". Primates generally are not omnivores and they are now being recorded as hunting, killing and eating other primates-this is a reflection of our destroying their habitat. Chimps have learned that they can now ear poisonous plants as long as they go and steal charcoal from the loggers and eat this too, then they won't get sick or die... But these are forced behaviors, not natural.
