Homo Heidelbergensis: The Mysterious 'Heidelberg Man' | Prehistoric Humans Documentary

[@Selinrocks]

So tired of AI voices

[@pamplemouse5]

I don't know why they always show these Palaeo guys with matted hair. You see beavers and other mammals taking baths, why wouldn't early humans?

[@drjekyllmshyde]

Hair and fur are not the same texture. In most primitive cultures that aren’t using combs regularly, hair mats. It’s reasonable to think early man before evidence of combs also had matted hair

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

@@drjekyllmshyde most furry animals use their tongues to smooth their fur

[@maximelarocque4128]

Hairs matt even if you take bath. It can be avoided by combing, even with your fingers if you want.

[@jodycornelius8258]

No one thought fish bones would make a good comb. I think they did.

[@neclark08]

...no 'PERT Plus'...

[@kimcup5000]

Is this an AI voice? Weird.

[@jonnyqwst]

Most every doc about early man begins with people walking slo mo in a city street somewhere

[@geogm.840]

XD

[@Fred-t2w]

Thats how early man begun

[@archeanna1425]

When you make a statement that is completely false, you lose all credibility. At about 19 minutes, you state that carbohydrates were needed by early humans in what is now northern Europe to balance the protein in their diet. That isn't true with current humans and it wasn't true with many hunter cultures written about by early European explorers or by Vihljamur Steffanson who lived until 1962 and reported on the diet, and the remarkable health, of natives of the far north of Canada. Fat is needed to balance protein, not plant material and for the vast majority of the year there is no plant material that is edible in the northern parts of the planet. Perhaps you could get some writers who know what food is available when there is snow on the ground or for the long months after winter. Where do your writers LIVE that they could be so uninformed about the way plants grow only when it's warm enough and for the rest of the year, you eat animals or you die?? Could you get them a map of where Germany is so they could find out a little about the climate there?

[@Lycona7693]

Agreed. It’s actually impossible for most humans to eat too much protein. Carbohydrates are unnecessary for survival.

[@Darkstar-se6wc]

Exactly, protein poisoning, wut?

[@DivaMomochi]

Homo heidelbergensis is my favorite and I was so happy to see your video pop up on my notifications. Listened to it during my workout today. Thanks so much!

[@rinorino2258]

Sheldon would ask:’’is it sarcasm?”

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

Sorry but as soon as I hear AI generated narration I switch off-bye!

thanks for speaking in quiet tones, it’s 100% refreshing and relaxing even a deep contrast to most videos on this subject matter.

[@alanfenick1103]

[@GEMINDIGO]

Is the presenter an AI machine voice?He talks funny...

[@pamplemouse5]

Said this before, but he might not be a native English speaker and uses this, possibly translation programme too.

[@baarbacoa]

Human I think. The same narrator is on a couple of other channels, and has been for a while.

[@jeffbreezee]

It's a Homo Heidelbergensis trained to speak English.

[@manic2360]

Wouldn’t homo sapiens be possible sub species of homo heidlebergensis and not the other way around? Homo heidlebergensis existed before Homo sapiens.

[@neild3074]

Good example of how boring a documentory can be if you don't use a human narrator.

[@08ubik]

😂 I have never thought about pods being AI narrated. Worth dropping the chap a line though the AI bot may just have a FB page with entirely ripped family and portraits from Junior school class pics onwards. Schroedinger's Cat, I've just gotten very tense of anything I can't see haha 🤯😂💕🕊️😵‍💫🤖👾🙃❤

[@Turrican]

Best played at 1.25 😅

[@TheAdrian229]

I did that and AI narrator actually sounds much more natural and real

[@annemaria5126]

I wonder, as a non-scientific old grandma, that so little dna-evidence from the other ancestors is found in our dna. Also in Africa and Asia. When I look around I see a lot of people with the same characteristics as these long-gone ancestors. And.....we as a whole are not that bright as we think we are. There are some, yes, just like thousands of years ago. It took just one human, or nagging wife, to come up with a super idea. Just like nowadays. I would never think of digging in the ground for usable minerals. I would like fire and boats. But the way my ancestors used nature in the Netherlands, I would never be that inventive. The whole body is a thinking experiencing organisme, the brain is just a clever intermediair between input and output. My own experienes while bringing post, biking, doing the laundry, cleaning, etc.

[@pquarterhorse1]

Looks a lot like the Hadzabe tribe in Africa. They also seem to hunt and live much the same way as Homo Heidelbergensis too

[@annemaria5126]

Not much choice.

[@leadwithgreeneconomy]

[@albertdepeal9658]

I suppose we'll never know how close these imaginary artist renderings are to the reality.

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

The narrator is so soothing. This would help me fall asleep at night. Very informative video though!

[@revolvermaster4939]

Surely you jest!

[@Svensk7119]

A fairly decent AI-voice. In my opinion. But the common, universal timbre of the voice is too uniform. Thus, not soothing.

[@noxsoma]

Are you trying to put us to sleep with this narration??

[@danscripture809]

Too bad your narrator can't pronounce "neanderthal". Had to quit watching it, because I couldn't tell what other things you got wrong. It's important to get simple things right.

[@dreamerliteraryproductions9423]

Thanks for an excellent presentation!

[@mottthehoople693]

[@annelieseanthony4821]

We are not destroying the planet. Sure, there are problems. As it always has been.

[@Svensk7119]

Grammar note: it is "rhinoceri", nor rhinoceros+es.

[@catwoman520]

@csh7119 Is it rhinoceri or rhinoceroses? According to Britannica… rhinoceros, (family Rhinocerotidae), plural rhinoceroses, rhinoceros, or rhinoceri, any of five or six species of giant horn-bearing herbivores that include some of the largest living land mammals.

[@geogm.840]

Adult males were said to be between 170cm and 178cm on average on this video.

Cm is not used by Americans. Meter was introduced by french revolutionaries that were known for mass murders.

[@sabaideebee]

oh, you've got a point, I set the speed to 1.25x, and that seems pretty normal, but I actually do like using documentaries as lullabies.

[@g.c.w3382]

Is it possible they were vegan?

[@pamplemouse5]

Yes. But highly unlikely. Neandertals were almost exclusively carnivores.

[@pamplemouse5]

I doubt this guy was exclusively carnivorous. The wear on his bottom teeth shows that a lot of grinding was going on, possibly nuts, grains, tubers as well as meat.

[@stevenbalderstone709]

Unlikely. See the explanation of their hunting practices @ 17min

No.
