When We Met Other Human Species

[@eons]

Some commenters have pointed out that calling Neanderthals and Denisovans “other hominin species” in this episode breaks the rules of the biological species concept (BSC), which says if two things can interbreed, then they’re the same species. Some paleoanthropologists would agree. They consider both Neanderthals and Denisovans to be subspecies of Homo sapiens, rather than separate species. Other experts would say that Neanderthals have a set of features that make them clearly distinguishable from Homo sapiens, putting them outside the range of variation we include in our species. And we hardly know the Denisovans - like we said in the video, they don’t even have a scientific name yet. The incredible thing about this is that we can even think about applying the BSC to fossils at all. The BSC is a species concept based on living organisms, and it’s only been within the last two decades or so that we’ve had the ancient DNA and the technology to test hypotheses about interbreeding in extinct groups. And it’s not the only way to define a species, either, so it will likely be a while (if ever) before anthropologists decide whether we’re a different species, subspecies, or population from the Neanderthals and Denisovans. (Darcy Shapiro, PhD, script editor)

[@abutterfly1351]

[@talsola]

Agreed. BSC is problematic even when applied on living organisms, let alone fossils.

[@runesk8179]

This is incredibly fascinating information, thank you so much for the clarification!

[@theMosen]

I don't know. The BSC may be problematic (because of things like ring species, etc), but it's a lot more clear cut than any other definition of species that I've come across.

I think Danz is spot on. Tribalism is still a thing, just look at who we elect and tolerate as leaders of world powers. I think this is where evolution has (for now) got it wrong. It didn't anticipate that we would be able to create a hospitable environment which is suited just for us and where instinctually protective and aggressive behavior, which did work to our advantage in ancient times, actually makes our species more vulnerable to ourselves.

[@ClassyName]

@@DavidCruickshank Humans and Neanderthals were nomadic, so if groups had hostile enough relationships to motivate one side to take advantage of the other, the weaker group would likely flee than suffer more abuse. So not enough to let a significant amount of interbreeding to occur through it. Thus, I imagine the most interbreeding happened while the groups were mingling which would most easily happen during like trading or socialization or cohabitation. Edit also : most people wouldn’t say Neanderthal females were as attractive to us, so I don’t imagine most people would go out of their way unless they genuinely liked each other for more than just looks

This is honestly kinda crazy to me and I think it says something about humanity's desperation for companionship.

So we imagined fairies or dragons or other creatures we could communicate and talk to and as we soon learn they probably don't exist, we look to other places where we might find intelligent life, like the stars, or under the sea or we create it ourselves through robots and Artificial Intelligence. There's ghosts in our blood and we're all so desperate for companionship, it. It gives me chills honestly.

@R B J because it will very likely be a factor in why races differ so much when we are one species. E.g. homo floresiensis, recently discovered on the island of Flores in Indonesia, is 3 feet tall. It may be a factor in why East Asians are shorter, especially South East Asians.

@@gvibration1 It could be, but also possibly due to the food as well, you can see the development in height in Europe where hunter gatherers were tall and then when farming became more standard there was a big decrease in height. Which is why you get stories about how when the Romans went north the barbarians were described as giants, then as farming spread over Europe the Northmen and more tribal societies that had a more varied diet were seen as giants, and with the nutritious food available today people in the west are a lot taller than in the past, after about 100+ years of having a rich selection of food. In Asia there are still many people that is eating a very "narrow" selection of food, like having rice for every meal and meat being a luxury, perhaps in a 100 years or so Asian populations will be a lot taller than now.

@@FloatingOer Lots of factors for sure. Cool info, I would have assumed agriculture gave more certainty & hence more food overall. Science will be finding out a lot more about the different factors for a long time.
