Thanks to everyone at kurzgesagt for the extraordinarily moving animations and sound design. And I so appreciate the kind words about our work. I personally learn so much from kurzgesagt, as do my kids--not just about neutron stars and ants, but about how to approach the universe with curiosity and intellectual rigor. EDIT: Some people below have asked what this video is about. Fair question! It is mostly about the Lascaux Cave Paintings, of course, but I wrote it because I wanted to explore why we study history, and what we do and do not learn from looking at the distant past. Every record of the past is incomplete, and our personal experiences inevitably shape our understanding of what happened before us, and I think the history of Lascaux shows a lot of the nuances and complexities that accompany the study of history. I wanted the essay to be about how much we don't know and will never know when it comes to history, but why it is still productive and important to consider what we have of a historical record. p.s. A new episode of The Anthropocene Reviewed comes out this Thursday, and a backlog of 25ish episodes is available for free wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks. -John

This was a very moving story. I did a double take when you mentioned Jung - have you checked out his Red Book? It's his own personal fantasies and illustrations, all in a beautiful illuminated script and a gigantic folio manuscript. I know you're not a Jungian, but it's one of the strangest works of the last century and just worth looking at as art for sure! The hook- it was written in 1915 but only released from a vault in Zurich in 2009!

You'll all be forgotten, especially Gen Z. None of you have done anything original. I do wish we could go back to the 40s when women understood the alpha male patriarchy and technology had not yet advanced to the point that they could go on social media apps and dating sites and handpick girly beta males. Feminism is why the human population will decrease substantially, especially in America, in the coming decades. Women need to succumb to real men and apologize for their narcissistic and promiscuous behavior.

I certainly stopped and thought at that part. Music is the same way. No one really thinks about it, pretty much every human likes music.

Music appears across all societies no matter how developed they are. But why? I'd like to watch a video on that, anyway.

It makes total sense. Especially in a figurative way. They didn’t print the hand itself, since that would mean your presence, and their presence on earth is extremely short (even shorter than ours nowadays), so they printed the opposite. The negative print would mean your absence… it would mean how other people feel, it would mean how much people miss you… represents both the feeling of being part of something, completing the whole (and literally the room, the clan, the family), and also the feeling of being the missing part… the hand that had to be there to fill the painting but it isn’t anymore

Every single time I watch this video it makes me cry. Like even if I try my hardest to not cry, I find my eyes welling with tears. Standing in front of cave paintings or petroglyphs is such a moving experience. And John Green really accurately portrayed why it is so moving. I have tried to explain to people why these things are important or why I feel so emotional, but I never had the words for it. And listening to John is the closest I can get to expressing that overwhelming sense of time. It feels both very distant and yet very intimate. There is another cave in France called Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave. Werner Herzog made a documentary of it called, "Cave of Forgotten Dreams." In that documentary, they interviewed scientists who determined that some of the paintings were 20,000 years old but some were as old as 40,000 years old. And that astonished me because the distance *in time* that we are to the people who made the paintings 20,000 years ago is the same distance *in time* that they were to those of 40,000 years ago. This means the people who made those 20,000-year-old paintings were coming upon paintings in the same way we are now. We often lump time together, thinking that people from 40,000 and 20,000 years ago were relatively close...but they weren't. There were just as many thousands of generations between 40-20 thousand years as there are from 20 thousand to now. Which means they must have looked at those paintings with a similar kind of wonderment. They must have also wondered who the painters were and what they were trying to say. To assume the people of 40,000 years ago were the same as the people as 20,000 years ago would be a mistake. Yes, they may have lived similarly, but I doubt the culture stayed the same in those thousands of years. There is a marked difference between different generations of people today...so many of those ancient people must have been just as perplexed by some of the paintings as we are now. I love these types of videos and I think the graphics complimented John Green's words perfectly.

Well, yeah... but hunter-gatherer societies may not be as dangerous as you think of it ^^ First, they were probably in a better health than the first agriculturals, maybe not as good as us with modern medicine, but still. According to studies, the life expectancy was higher during Paleolithic than during the Iron and Bronze age, and the average human was as tall as us today (size is an indication of nutrition). And we also think that they passed as much time hunting and gathering than agriculturals passed time to culture plants ^^ In addition, not every human had to hunt or gather, most of them did, but they probably already had specialists, for example the silex sculpter was probably a professionnal, because the late techniques of stone-making were very advanced. The artists could also be professionnals, or some kind of priests or shamans.

On a more optimistic view (or not, depending on how you feel), we are probably one of the first generations whose lives are meticulously recorded through the internet and social media. Assuming the internet doesn't disappear, or someone had archived it before it does, our descendant could see in vivid detail what we were doing or thinking on any given date, on any point in our lives. I could only imagine the emotions I would feel if I was able to see or read what my parents did and felt when they first met each other, or when they first discovered that they were pregnant with me. Multiply that by a few more generations. Unfortunately, our descendants would also see (and try to understand) all our stupid fucking memes.

I've been to Lascaux two years ago, there is something i have to add since Lascaux II is brought into the discussion. Lascaux II is the first, incomplete copy of the original cave, built on the same hill. The great numbers of visitors, and the vibration caused by their vehicles, turned out to be a problem for the cave. Since 2016 Lascaux IV has opened, a little bit further away, it's a nearly complete recreation of the cave, up to the fraction of a millimeter. In the museum several parts of the cave, like the ceilings and the wells, have been cloned at an accessible height so that visitors can see things that wouldn't normally be visible even in the real cave. There are even VR visors that allow you to visit the 3d model of the cave, with all the paintings and graffitis. It's not the original, but it's as close as it can get, and i believe we should be happy to see a copy if that means the original is being protected and preserved for the times to come. Should you feel the need to visit an original cave go to the grottes du Peche-Merle, it's one of the few original caves open to the public, access are limited to 700 ppl per day as to preserve the micro-climate inside, so reservation is almost mandatory. There's a 1:1 painting of prehistoric horses inside. tl;dr - i dont' share the sadness of not being able to access the original Lascaux cave for reasons; there are other original caves open to the public

by this logic we should close all historic monuments, museums, etc... to preserve them for what exactly? Everything will turn into dust sooner or later. Denying people to experience history and replacing it by a cottage industry of fakes - what a good idea! Nothing to worry here, no unintended consequences could possibly happen. I think the logic should be the opposite: now that they built an exact copy of the cave they shouldn't fear of the real one slowly deteriorating - everything is already preserved.

Preserving the cave allows future scientists who have better technology and will be massively more careful with the site than tourists to study it and learn more about the people who lived there.

"...it's as if art isn't optional for humans." Art _isn't_ optional for humans. It's a psychological imperative. Art is how we expel excess creativity during times when we have nothing productively creative to work on (i.e. inventions). For people who are prone to creativity and also lack technical skills, art is the only thing that keeps them sane -- and even then it isn't always enough.

Even though I've rewatched this video several times by now it still hits me hard once the realization sets in that such a hand print was made by somebody just as human as any of us. This has led to another thought occuring in my head; the person who'd made the handprint could've been one of my parents or sibling. However, it also left me feeling an inexplicable homesickness to return to that moment and to get to know this person who could be my distant ancestor. Edit: I've always had the idea that these handstencils were made as a kind of memorial possibly also part of a ritual of coming into adulthood. "I was there, and please do not forget about me, remember me". Not too far fetched if I say so myself considering how harsh life was back then. With no writing (or none preserved throughout the centuries) it may have been the only way to keep the memory of you alive when you've "joined the ancestors" as is likely a common corner stone of their religion/beliefs (which is a common trait of ancient faiths and beliefs).

"We hope you enjoyed this video, even if it was different." This is my favorite Kurzgesagt video. It is one of the videos I recommend to others most, even three years after it is made. I come back and watch it again, every time I need a bit of perspective. Or a calming moment. Something uplifting in a world divided by its self-inflicted wounds. Every now and then, I need a little hope. And this video neatly and innocently provides it.

Million years from now: two caves painted in almost the same time, one after another. (context: I'm joking about our logarithmic minds - there's a bigger difference between 1 and 2 than e.g. 500 or 600, which makes sense - it matters if there's one enemy or two, but makes no difference between 500 or 600)..
