Homo Sapiens: The New Rulers of Earth | Prehistoric Humans Documentary

How did the earliest members of the modern human species get here? Who did we evolve from? How did we live? Where did we live? And what helped us become the dominant species - and the only member of the Homo genus - on the planet? In today's video, we will be exploring all these topics and more in great detail. Examining the world during the Pleistocene and the way our ancestors managed to exploit and thrive in it are key to understanding the mysteries of our own origin. Sit back and relax as we take you on tour to meet our ancestors - the early Homo sapiens of the Pleistocene.

No way I could I listen to this narrator for more than three minutes

Documentary about Humans narrated by AI...makes sense

[@unitor699industries]

Stfu I like this voice

[@AnthropoTube]

If this is an AI voice, it sounds very natural. I'd love to know which software provides this voice or voices that are as good as it.

In the days where Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans lived at one time, Chad experienced his greatest opportunities.

[@safeysmith6720]

It’s very fascinating to think we should be living in a world full of very diverse and large megafauna right now, but it’s all been stunted by humans since only about 300,000 years back. We basically cut the top and middle off of the food chain, and only its lower third actually exists now. Even that is threatened. Next time you’re driving, and you look in the direction of some wild field, hillside or tree line… remember our world should be filled with a hugely diverse ecosystem, with many amazing and terrifying examples of great megafauna. All gone because of us. Climate change played a major role as well obviously. But without humans, the rest of life would still have been far greater in diversity, and able to adapt accordingly.

[@andresd4464]

Early human here first

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

I enjoyed the scope of this video. Not only where we came from, but where we are headed. We have the advantage of the capability to predict the consequences of our actions and choices. It's really up to us, today, to determine our future.

[@user-ny7tn4qs9i]

May be out of Asia nobody really knows 🎉

[@YogiMcCaw]

We are not up for the challenge. We simply aren't evolved enough yet. We are going to have to try again after this next mass extinction, which we have a big hand in causing. Existence is asking us to take responsible stewardship of our environment. We responds by killing it in order to make money. Existence is asking us to manage our population; we respond with fervent anti-abortionism. Existence is asking us to understand out place in the cosmos; we respond with Iron Age, even Stone Age belief systems. Existence is asking us to care for our fellow humans; we respond with genocides. Don't sugarcoat it with Polyanna optimism; the truth is that we haven't learned simple, fundamental principles that would insure our future existence. Or maybe our predatory genetics is standing in the way. Or both. And we will face the same mass extinction event that we are forcing on all the rest of life on this planet. Have a nice day - and, if you can remember - show some compassion to a fellow human today. Take some small action that reverses the flow, and sets us on the path of compassion, realism, and responsibility. Your life, or your descendants' lives may depend on it.

I think that ship sailed 40 years ago we missed the boat

[@TheJake76]

16:49 we now know Göbekli Tepe was founded 11,500 years ago which is a massive monolith. Some of the information in this video is very much out of date.

[@swingshift.]

Thats the oldest date we can confirm I'm guessing it's older have you heard about the even bigger sites found near by they are just starting to excavate

[@beckymartin5909]

I would listen to this if I could tolerate the voice. Please change it!

[@johnshields6852]

We brought our 1 month old son to Dr for checkup, the Dr puts his thumbs in my son's palms and rubbed, them quickly pulled his arms straight up, to my shock my son was hanging on with ease, then the Dr swings back and forth and he hung on casually, I was stunned to see how natural he swung, to me it says a lot about our origins.

[@swingshift.]

Like a baby chimp hanging on his moms back lol

It was NOT the last ice age. We are still in the ice age; we just happen to be in one of many warm interglacial periods. The last glacial period ended about 12,000 years ago.

[@boreabalsam]

I love this channel but the narration makes me fall asleep lol. I have to rewind like 5 times a video.

[@dylansearcy3966]

14:53 and Alaska and Canada

[@davidgriffiths7696]

From an external perspective, we could be viewed as a roughly 5 million year old species of primate, much like a plesiosaur, or a rhino, or other group of subspecies. Any animal 500,000 years ago might look somewhat different by now.

Some don’t.

[@jimbarth9859]

I am often able to successfully navigate the uncanny valley of computer-generated voices. This is not one of them. ☹️

[@3Kiwiana]

So what they are say is cro magnon/ Homo sapiens, the first anatomically modern human that actually appeared in Europe 40,000 years and did not come out of Africa.

[@TmanRock9]

Didn’t hear them say that but if they did they are wrong. That’s just the first anatomically modern humans in Europe. Omo 1 and 2 are far older and were found in east Africa.

[@lotheriel]

I had to stop watching the video despite being interested in the subject because the AI voice was so frustrating. Although the voice itself is nice, the intonations are awful. It's so close but then not quite there, very uncanny valley.

[@AutismGetsTheLastLaugh]

So prehistoric means the 1800s

[@edwardkennelly677]

The question is, what replaces us?

[@markpaul-ym5wg]

People that are perfect,without sin.Having glorified bodies and living on a new earth with no animals hunting one another.The way it was supposed to be,until the temptation and fall of man by satan

[@brandonheckman7515]

these videos are really, really good but your laboured choice of monotonal verbalization makes them boring AF !! there is no personality or individualism in them so, i'm going to give you 2 out of 5 stars.

I wonder how populated Antarctica was befor fully covered in ice, wonder if there are any megalithic sites buried under the ice

[@Tempe401]

There is

[@sulcatagrl]

Ummm... When was it not covered in ice during the hominin expansion? No hominins could've lived there due to inhospitable conditions (to say it mildly) for millions of years, and we haven't existed that long as a group.

[@christopherparnell7750]

if there is, I would definitely wonder who made them. And who knows? The ice is melting so fast we might be able to see it before we know it....

Thank god. It’s really hard to listen to the video otherwise.

[@byronweber5364]

This video is difficult to evaluate with no given sources for the information. While it seems fairly accurate based on what I have researched, there are inexplicable gaps in the history. As an example there is no explanation for why present day Africans have no Neanderthal DNA. Did we really all come from Out of Africa?

[@quaggg]

Evolution is an interesting belief system. Just listen to the narrative, it is filled with phrases like, May have, It's possible or likely, we may never know. I like the CG animation.

[@Zanz0vida]

Why would any smart person pretend to know something that there isn't good evidence for? When you start doing that you believe things that aren't real like the bible etc etc. Science explains too much to be a "belief system" unless you count seeing and verifying things as beliefs

[@samreh6156]

Not a belief system. It's based on facts and therefore not absolute firm as new and more accurate info is discovered. Some of the info in this video is already dated

[@mkphilly]

Well done. BUT, 2 probs: the "music" background is like fingernails on a chalkboard; the AI voice does not have a natural tone variation... I almost had to stop watching

[@PureTM20]

Is no one going to talk about Chris Hemsworth in the thumbnail 😂

That ain't Jason Mamoa no way. That Thor

[@Neur_gaming]

How many Neanderthals watching in 2024?

[@Georgefirth100]

I couldn’t watch this video only because of the narrator’s odd inflections.

[@nakuspanderson]

I think humans only walk on two legs because we needed to carry things to protect ourselves. It’s a self defence trait. Early humans could not walk around without something to defend themselves or they would be eaten.

[@lucatarolli7950]

[@delculbert2175]

It always bothers me when these documentaries portray the first humans into Europe as white,when we know they were black at first, then gradually turned white

[@kennithdubroy797]

Yeah. One dude did it overnight. He was super cool.
