It's like a dream I woke up from and long to return to as I fall back to sleep, or nostalgia for something both strangely familiar and mysterious, like a memory lost in the deep recesses of time. Whatever it is, this is what drives my interest in prehistory, ancient history, and mythology. Great video, North!

New video out now!

[@UpraiseUp]

Boy, this was spectacular! I was backpacking across Northern Spain in 2017 and stopped in a village called Santallana del Mar and was told by a local that I must visit the caves of Altimira. I am SO glad I did. It’s was absolutely unbelievable. Entrance was covered in red ochre handprints, entire hunting expeditions depicted on the ceilings, and many other things. My favorite was the depiction of the “Honey Gatherer”, from the caves of la Araña, as I am a bee keeper. It is a simple depiction of a beekeeper hanging off of a cliff by gathering honey from a bee hive on the cliffs surface.

[@mytwocents848]

I also went through the caves of Alta Mira in 1958 when I was 11 years old. At the time it was on the land of a farmer who took us through the caves with a lantern. Even for a 11 year old I was mesmerized by the beauty of the art.& the way they depicted motion using the cave contours. It amazed me to be able to put my hand on the handprint of the artist who lived 30,000 years ago. People are now no longer able to tour the caves because peoples' breath was eroding them. I feel so lucky to have been able to see them at that time.

[@Caninecancersucksrocks]

I’m 52, and it’s been fascinating to see how much the knowledge and information on Neanderthals has changed since I was a child. I first read Jean M. Auel’s fictional “Earth’s Children” series when in my late teens, and they were one of the things which first triggered an interest in anthropology, which in turn eventually led me to having a career in clinical psychology. I have to say, this was very well done! I’ve very much enjoyed watching all four of your videos (*edit*: on ancient humans), and it’s clear you put a great deal of work into all of them. Many people on platforms like this one often don’t put so much time, research & attention to detail into their work, so this series has been a refreshing change of pace. Thank you!

[@solonkazos1379]

All the effort in this video is a compiled grouping of stories. None of them has any facts or evidence. In reality the Neanderthals had better DNA than we have today. They had better bone structures, larger heads, and lived a very long time. It is very likely they built the neolithic structures which have advanced machining we still can not duplicate today. So the old trope of the Neanderthal caveman is a false narrative. These people were advanced, and their buildings along with DNA prove it. You have a career in clinical psychology and yet you didn't know God created man. The DNA proves it.

[@SR-iy4gg]

@@solonkazos1379 What evidence do you have that Neanderthals lived "a very long time" or that they "likely built the neolithic structures...?" That doesn't fit with any evidence I've read about in several very well-researched books about Neanderthals.

[@SR-iy4gg]

I just finished the first book in that series. The author spends way too much of the book telling us all of the research she learned rather than simply telling a story. Also, it's beyond ridiculous that the characters have no idea how people become pregnant. These are hunter-gatherers who live close to nature, and presumably, have at least a modicum of common sense. And, they don't speak either. Neaderthals were capable of speaking, although maybe that wasn't known when the book was published. I also didn't like how she left her son and he never shows up again in the other books. I wish now I'd only bought the first one and not the whole series at one time.

[@solonkazos1379]

@@SR-iy4gg The whole evolutionary concept is a fiction. They can cite all the articles they want , but it is just citing more peers from the evolutionary camp. Today we're getting to the point where even the stories don't add up. So evolution is dead, its been rejected by science at every level. Yet people still push the old trope. It looks like these Neanderthals were very smart. They likely built the neolithic structures we don't even have the tools to copy. They were literate, had governments, courts, schools, and many other things. Its best to start with the Bible timelines , because it has evidence all over the place.

[@solonkazos1379]

@@SR-iy4gg Some of the evidence is in the bones. The Neanderthals had a much more robust bone structure. It is identical to today's man kind, but much better, much healthier. Example; The bone right above the eye sockets never stops growing. It doesn't grow fast, but the rate is about one half inch in 4 to 5 hundred years. Many of the Neanderthals have a large brow bone indicating they lived hundreds of years. I think the Bible timeline fits the evidence. So the Neanderthals were part of the first humans from Adam/Noah. These people were against the God of Noah even after the flood, they stood in idolatry . So these neolithic structures are part of large cities with King who create new gods. Like the Tower of Babel, stone hinge, Peru, India, China etc. They all came about in the same era of time. We have writings from Nimrod/Gilgamesh to Noah. These tablets are available in museums and can be seen online. Nimrod wanted Noah to support the building of the tower. Noah refused, before the war broke out the languages were confused and the neolithic period came to an end. Today we see Roman structures built on top of neolithic structures. The older is much more advanced building and engineering. The evidences are being gathered everyday. So the historical puzzle is filling in . There is so much more evidence to cover, but this isn't the best format for that. However I can answer some direct questions.

Awesome job! I had never heard of the hibernation idea, but it makes sense. I live in northern Alaska and when day length gets below 4 hours a day, I commonly lose a few days to falling asleep and not rousing for a few days. Thankfully, I normally am off work that time of year. They might not have hibernated the way ground squirrels do (super cooling their bodies for months on end), but sleeping for a couple of days, eating a bit and falling back asleep for a few days sound like a pretty nice way of getting through a winter.

[@NOMAD-qp3dd]

It reminds me of how on 'survivor' type shows, what seems to happen is the contestants get just enough of a 'habitation' set up so they can rest comfortably, and then set up just enough of some way/system to get enough food, and then spend the rest of the time kindof loafing around because you cant just expend calories nonstop. Now, the contestants on these shows are obviously in a different situation and don't work that hard at all because they see the light at the end of the tunnel, soon the show will end, or they can just quit if they want to, or things get too bad the show producers will sneak in food and water so noone dies. So they are quite a bit more lazy than our ancestors. But it still goes to show that humans will definately hunker down and basically "hibernate" when the going gets rough. Doing nothing, is a survival tactic. 🤣

[@garethbaus5471]

​@@NOMAD-qp3dd another thing to consider is that the vast majority of people on those shows have significantly less knowledge compared to a full time hunter gatherer in a given area especially when it comes to the list of known local edible plants as well as how to find them. Without that type of ancestral knowledge combined with most of them not having a community and missing out on a lifetime of constantly practicing most of the skills relevant to survival in this context means that only a handful of people could do as well without modern technology as their pre agricultural counterparts and most of those people would still struggle in unfamiliar regions of the planet.

On the mt Denisovans diverged maybe 1Mya, but the Y we diverged from the other 2 maybe 650,000 to 700,000ya. it's much easier to see on a chart than to explain. it gets pretty complex when you think that the divergence of the mtdna and Y in the case of Dens and Neas is a 500,000 year difference and the divergence of 2 lines for us and Neas is about 200,000 year difference.

@@NORTH02 wasn't trying to dispute dates, just introduce the idea that groups didn't actually diverge at one time, it's much more complicated. And since the MTDNA is such an incredibly tiny fraction of our DNA it seems that it can only reveal a tiny portion of the truth. They did the MT first because it's so small and manageable but as Hawks points out there are tens of thousands of other segments that have a common ancestor between a few hundred thousand years and 1.9 Million. Currently many people seem to think that the MT and Y tell the complete story of our origins

Those are just some trivial examples but it extends all the way up to the religious nuts who refuse to recognize that creationism has been thoroughly debunked and the radical atheists who screech about the Big Bang like it’s a confirmed fact and not just our best, but certainly incomplete theory. We all need to keep an open mind to new facts and ideas. The scientific method works so well at finding the facts because even when you’re wrong you’ve still learned a massive amount of information.

[@leighneal3340]

The music with this guys voice overlayed gives me a sense of calm I cannot explain. I will put on a North02 video and melt into the couch feeling nothing but serenity and all anxiety flows away. But I'm not dramatic at all....

[@patricknoveski6409]

This was an incredible experience. Just beautiful. Thank you sir.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

Do you really believe that homo sapien "evolved" from them? My history tells of a population of humans that were evil. They would kill each other for entertainment. Rape of either sex. Abusing children and killing children for fun. Many think of it as they just didn't want to be tied down with kids. Selfish and self centered. They were constantly drawing pictures of themselves. Pictures of their meals. Pictures of trips to other lands. I don't see anything today like them, do you?

[@mdkooter]

Absolutely amazing. One of the most beautiful documentaries in existence about early human history!!

[@NORTH02]

Wow, thank you!

[@Christina2tw69]

I feel like them hibernating makes sense, as we ‘sorta’ hibernate. When the nights get longer and it gets colder, we typically gain weight or at least are more sedentary, we are less social, we sleep more at night and our mood changes. Maybe these circadian rhythms are like a genetic precursor or remnants of a more drastic form of hibernation our species cousins (and ancestors bc interbreeding)

[@Hollylivengood]

Seems reasonable to me. Oh it's September...get me a blanket and a book. Yep, hibernate.

[@michaelcarley9866]

A guy lived stranded inside his car for a whole freezing winter. They say his body went into hibernation.

[@buttercxpdraws8101]

Tasmanian aborigines we’re able to ‘hibernate’ during winter - they could consciously lower their body temperature and slow their heart rate significantly in order to conserve energy. ✌️

[@zentune100]

You must not be a skier 🤣

[@carimart5890]

I mean that seems like something that would happen. Babies have the ability to hibernate in extreme conditions.

[@bradleybaker8894]

I stumbled upon this video but enjoyed it. Watched the entire presentation and hope to see more. Informative, interesting and thought provoking. Keep up the great work.

[@katharineg.7686]

My pleasure!

[@michaeld.coulombesr.583]

I, as one, have to tell you that although I am a older man now, (2021 (78)). When I first came across your videos I was struck by how much I knew of what you was presenting, and as I had learned over time....and as I also noticed how "for instance " Neanderthals changed in our thinking from being low on the scale of intelligence to being quite high on the same scale. But mostly I just wanted to compliment you on all the effort you put into your videos and I realize that not just your videos but all the other videos that people are making that are factual are going into our knowledge base that is going to end up being the best thing that can happen to all mankind. Michael said that, bye for now my friends.

[@beamondo]

When I was in the 5th grade, I read a book called "In the Stone Age" with chief characters, Awk and Gog. Ever since, this has been fascinating subject for me.

[@locust334]

"After Altamira, all is decadence." That is such a powerful line coming from Pablo Picasso. It always sticks with me how close we are to our ancestors regardless of the time between. Millions of years apart but still so close.

[@theCosmicQueen]

altamira is 10,000's of years not millions ago.

[@stevenschilizzi4104]

Stupendous production. Thanks heaps for putting so much effort into it. So far the best video I’ve come across on Neanderthals: well-balanced, no hype, honest, masterfully presented - truly a magnus opus. It will remain as a reference document for quite some time. I’ll be sure to watch and recommend any other you have done and may yet do.

[@DarthInsomnis]

I was literally excited beyond belief for this episode. Neanderthals are my favorite human species, and I’m impressed by the amount of love and research that went into this. Well done my friend

[@harrietharlow9929]

This is North02's best human evolution video to date. Neanderthals are my favorite homo sapiens sapiens predecessor and contemporary. I became interested in them about 30 years or so and that interest remains strong. They really are fascinating and the more we discover, the more human they become.

Wow, you've just earned yourself a subscriber! Most documentaries leave me with more questions than answers, but you managed to cover just about everything, plus left room for us to still wonder and ponder. I didn't watch this, though. I listened to it while painting a room. I absolutely will play it again! Best wishes for your new endeavor!

I am working on a 4 hour version

[@sherronmitchell3977]

Thanks. Enjoyed this thoroughly. I had my DNA examined and I proudly have a lot of Neanderthal lineage. They can trace it back 40,000 years to the Neanderthal Valley in Germany. Science is so cool. Thanks for your hard work.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

You should be proud, Neanderthals were an amazing civilization and way more advanced than a lot of people think. Neanderthals still live in us 💪

Awesome video! Lovely art, music, and editing to go with your narration and writing as well. Thanks for all the time, research, and effort you put into this, it all shines through! I'm no expert in this topic but adore consuming content on ancient humans species, and you make this content approachable and accessible to a lay person.

[@SeanMahoneyfitnessandart]

This video was amazing. I enjoyed it very much. As an artist myself, I also very much appreciated you giving credit to those artists whose work was shown here. I found the Neanderthal cave art segment the most fascinating as this was the first time I learned of this. So much has changed since I was in college (minor in physical anthropology) back in '04 - 0'8. I was definitely taught that Neanderthals could not throw overhand and always found that to be rather suspect, Im glad to hear about the new research in this area as well. Overall this was definitely a great video and I easily/happily would have listened for another 90 minutes. I wish you the best in pursuing this as your career.

[@dwightehowell8179]

His teeth were heavily worn. A sign that he spent a lot of time chewing hides to soften them just as historic Inuit do. It was something he could do to help pay his way. North even noted that this was common and sort of seemed to know why.

[@sarahwoolnough423]

Utterly fascinating, and beautiful background music. Thank you for your super video

Hi. Paleoanthropology has been a hobby for decades and I have read tons about the subject, but I have never seen such detailled and inclusive review. Excellent work!
