[@georgecuyler7563]

We Indigenous Turtle Islanders have stories of having to outrun the last ice age. It is said if you didn't move out of its way you froze in place. Here on the west coast of British Columbia we have the story of a great flood and a great whale saved us.

[@michellerenner6880]

And now she is a part of the reason we know so much more about her people and her time. .. she’s a special sort of time traveller.

[@zaizoesclashing7103]

Lol here for the young girls

[@이이-n4z8y]

Absolutely not, it is because of males. Females just consumed resources and did menial tasks that would have been a waste of men's time. Just like today.

[@valiantredneck]

That makes absolutely no sense.

[@selievisa519]

What a superb documentary! This is probably the most emotional discovery I have ever seen. Above all, I am glad that Nyah was rescued with much love and tenderness. Welcome to the modern time of our common home, the Earth. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm always suspicious when scientists make blanket statements based on one or a few specimens. The way one person looks doesn't necessarily mean everyone looked like that. Having signs of malnutrition doesn't mean all of the people with her were "new" to the area. It means she was. It also could be another sign of abuse that was identified in other areas of her skeleton.

[@colinleat8309]

Wonderfully fascinating! I'm not surprised in the least that she would have strong Asiatic and African features. I love PBS!! ❤️🖖😁🤘

[@tomclewes3783]

[@Joseph_Clark07]

im always interested about history and science. And thanks to Nyah was rescued and gave scienest so much to learn from early people but very sad to what happened to her.

[@stephenrafter1022]

Amazing. I think they found an older skeleton now.

[@claudelebel49]

Such a moving story,

[@icandybee4u]

INCREDIBLE!

[@seestheday]

It's interesting that they keep referring to her as a child. In this time, this age, when humans probably only lived to their mid-20s, she would have been considered middle aged. She likely had one, or maybe more, children of her own.

[@jhhggygghchdlfyggxzgdltfugc]

The low average life expectancy was greatly influenced by high infant mortality. Plenty of those who survived infancy would reach their 40s and 50s. A few would reach ages we would recognise as elderly today, depending on the environment they were in and their luck. It's also likely humans developed into adulthood slower than today because of dietary constraint. Only populations with access to as much high energy food as they wanted, for minimal cost in time and effort, would develop physically at the accelerated rate of people eating an industrialised diet.

[@Authentic-1ty]

[@kentrichardson9070]

Would have liked to have seen research on the animal bones. When the documentary started,my first thought was this was a ceremonial cave burial. I don’t think Nyah would have been alone in a dangerous jungle. She could have escaped slavery or been shunned. It almost looked as if rope was needed to enter the cave even 13 centuries ago. Did they not say other human bones were there? I must of missed something. Food for thought.

Science & public opinion can suffer from biases especially from percieved cultural "histories". For example the Maori of New Zealand gets credit of first population but there is evidence of a previous race & their sites are often destroyed or dismissed.There is a real possibility that there was a predecessor before clovis which everyone is fixated on. I look forward to new discoveries myself.

[@jeremywhakarau2403]

They were the ancestors of the Maori And name "Maori " isn't the correct reference to this culture either

[@reverendbarker650]

This doco is afflicted by the usual use of constant over dramatic music , the sort that is used in epics, why is it that directors have to accompany every second of footage with doom laden portentous music, accompanied by doom laden voiceovers ? it gets right on my tits. Just because is now easy to add music cheaply from formulaic programs that give you gigabytes of options at your fingertips doesn't mean you have to use them all constantly !!!!!!! The basic rule of filmaking is ' less is more " . Increasingly docos resemble feature films in their choice of music. there must be hundreds of changes in music in this doco and its a merciful relief when the sodding background music stops for just a few seconds.

So they found two 11,000 year old infants in Alaska and from that made the leap that it was the same people who originally crossed over 20,000 years ago. Sounds suspect to me. What about the primitive robust skull of the 16 year old girl and others? I'm sure there were different waves of immigrants who killed or drove off earlier migrants, just like how the Inuit replaced the Thule peoples who replaced the Dorset peoples in the Arctic.

[@khalinras6786]
