Homo antecessor is an extinct hominin species believed to have lived in Europe over 1 million years ago. Fossils of this early human ancestor were discovered in Spain, particularly at the Atapuerca archaeological site. Homo antecessor is strange because it shares both primitive and more advanced traits. This ancient hominin is believed to have been a skilled toolmaker and a meat-eater, providing valuable insights into early human dietary and behavioral patterns. The study of Homo antecessor continues to contribute to our understanding of human origins and our complex evolutionary history.

What was your favorite aspect about Antecessor?

[@Dystopikachu]

It seems like they didn't leave their women at home in the kitchen

[@celsus7979]

If they did survive without fire, that would be it. I've spend many nights thinking about what it must have been like back then. Thank you for this story!

[@eirikraude854]

It's amazing that they were so similar to us millions of years ago!

[@katiobrien7854]

The story at the end had me believing every word. I liked hearing the different hypotheses about this race co-existing with other races.

[@user-un8tv1pp8m]

They died out, making space for my predecessors. Neanderthal as well as sapiens sapiens.

[@davisnewman8278]

Your story reminded me of a quote by Christopher McDougall, “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.” I enjoy your thoughtful approach to anthropology.

I also believe that in our ( and other adaptation and evolution of life on this planet) has advance because of abilities to find ways to solve problems affecting the organism.

​@@kimberlypatton205Absolutely. Engineering is and has always been the greatest strength of the human race. For all of our weaknesses, we have proven that when we work together and take the time to learn from one another, nothing has ever been able to stop us. Sadly, the creature that will most likely bring forth the demise of humans, is Humans OURSELVES!!😢

I really like how you balance everything, like, you don’t go into that whole “everything was peace and love before agriculture” nonsense, but you also don’t buy into that silly “all was barbarism and foolishness” stuff, either. Thanks.

[@celsus7979]

It seems to me that life back then must have been hard, beautiful, violent, and full of love for the land, the family that was everything, the one real love they found with so few options. Intense moments of triumph, periods of horrific suffering. What a rollercoaster!

[@5isalivegaming72]

People don't change. We are still for the most part the same exact animal that lived all those millenia ago. In other words, it's complicated. Just the same as it is now. The news would have you believe you're likely to get shot stepping outside, or die of a flu with a 99.99901% survival rate. But factually speaking, there's never been a safer time to be alive. That being said, there are areas of the globe, mostly those with no money or too many resources, that are a living hell. Again, it's super complicated 😂

You have a relaxing and soothing voice. It's really calming to listen to you.

[@GizzyDillespee]

It's made from calmly read phrases, delivered rapid-fire, with barely any gap between each calmly read phrase. It's sort of hypnotic, yet it doesn't give you much space to think. Just one sentence/idea after another, but so gently

This video is a great example of teaching anthropology. I am impressed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and views and for the undoubtly great effort it took to make the video. The accompanying music is a good choice too, and its moderate level never intruded.

[@jared1872]

I grew up right near the Ishi monument and know his story well. His life must have been one of transcendental experiences. He was a gentleman and alone

[@alottaguala9766]

The story was the best part of the video. The whole reason I enjoy learning about this anthropology is to be able to appreciate and imagine what life looked like for our ancestors. You weaving in those stories helps paint the picture of the types of lives they would live. love the vid man keepem coming

[@Hollylivengood]

Always love How you take time to work out how these things were done by archaic humans, and the research you put into your videos. The little story made it come alive too.

[@Ateesh6782]

The moment I saw Ishi’s photo warmed my heart. I have a replica of a glass arrowhead he knapped. Thank you for making that huge jump in time.

[@DeinoWolfhybridhero]

Your detailed videos ever give answers to a lot of arguments that I read on books in my childhood but were explained in very superficial way! Thank you again from an enthusiastic subscriber ❤👍

[@bakkila99]

Hey @North02 I just want to say I’m happy to see how far you’ve come, and continue to go! I started watching you around 5 years ago when you were brand new, and had few followers compared to now. At that time, I watched a lot of Trey the Explainer, who just wasn’t posting much at that time, and you filled that void wonderfully! Then I remember in one of your earlier videos, you actually mentioned Trey and how they were a big influence to you in making videos, and I was like “that makes so much sense”! I think it would be cool if you guys did a collaboration video since your channels work in tandem together so well as it is. Anyways, keep up the amazing work man! You are a hero for spreading knowledge so wonderfully!

[@rogerlong6969]

Wonderful combination of scientific data and storytelling. Well done, keep up the great work!

Really well-made video. Your narration sets a very authoritative and yet comfortable in tone. Beautiful and well-chosen imagery, we are allowed to appreciate it rather than cutting away a second later. Interesting details that are explained succinctly. The short story was good, Hardships were undoubtedly a reality, but as you said yourself with the success of their longevity of Antecessor, it would be important to show the successes too if you continue these stories.

Staggering to think just how far back we go, and how few fragments of our past survive. Heartening that more and more is coming to light finally, and our history of building homes and temples is being pushed back further and further as discoveries in Turkey and the surrounding region are being excavated. Another outstanding production, North, you put many "professional" works to shame.

I enjoyed your story about competition between family groups. It's only natural to think of competing species but I think within the neighboring tribes particularly during the hard times is at least as likely. In the story of Ishi his family was struggling but when a simple thing like the surveyors finding his camp and taking what they called trinkets killed off the family unit.

23:30 I know someone who was invited to dinner by friends in the Philippines. They were surprised when they were served a dish containing meat. This was very rare especially seeing that the family was quite poor. They commented on this and their hosts said, casually that it was nothing, as the dog had recreantly had puppies. Now he had a problem. The fact he was being served dog meat caused him to completely lose his appetite. But to refuse to eat would be extremally rude. Serving meat was a great sacrifice for the family, and the family was saying to their guests "You are worthy of such sacrifice." He learned that if you are in the Philippines and you are served meat, just eat it. Assume it is beef and enjoy it. Don't ask where it came from.
