The Basques of Northern Spain are LIVING WALKING TALKING NEANDERTHALS. As PROVEN by British Medical Science over 10 years ago. These people exhibit as high as 75% Neanderthal DNA. Have RESUS NEGATIVE Blood, the KNOWN Neanderthal blood type, which does NOT work in humans properly & causes medical issues. Indeed the Basque language with NO connection to ANY Human language is itself the Neaderthal language. So Professor Green, giving the talk, must have spent the last 10 years living on a lost Pacific island, as virtually everyone else in the Scientific community is aware of that Bombshell 10-12 years ago !!!!!

@jimvj5897 David Reich (whom he mentions early in the video) describes it similarly, but it's not really that accurate to describe it that way in my opinion because we obviously get our genes from our parents. What he means is that we get very long segments that are unchanged from our grandparents (via our parents). These segments can be millions of base-pairs long. The important thing is that if you look at two people's DNA and they have very long segments that are identical (in areas of the DNA that are not normally identical) you can conclude that they had a common ancestor within a few generations. The shorter those segments are, the further back the common ancestor is.

(and one of the astonishing artists who helped me, also observed this: " anything you do contains the universe", meaning all that you have known, do, and can, know. But we are in reality pretty limited to our experience, which we often erroneously interpret, and in creating useful personal heuristics, often distill too much reality out, replacing it what Eric von Zipper, yet another famous philosopher, called "An Army of Stupids" Your mind IS change.

That's why people with mild lactose intolerance have no trouble eating cheese and yoghurt, but might get problems when drinking milk.

I looked around the internet and couldn't find anything that said "Middle Ages", so I admit I probably got that wrong. And it seems that generally the development of lactase persistency took a while to spread. "By mapping patterns of milk use over the last 9,000 years, probing the UK Biobank, and combining ancient DNA, radiocarbon, and archaeological data using new computer modelling techniques, the team were able to show that the lactase persistence genetic trait was not common until around 1,000 BC, nearly 4,000 years after it was first detected around 4,700-4,600 BC." - From "Famine and disease drove the evolution of lactose tolerance in Europe" UCL News

Bear in mind the Siberian sample is ancient, and the PNGuinea samples are where they find the highest traces in modern humans today. So Denisovans could have been all across Asia + India in antiquity, then some sort of regional disaster - perhaps a volcano, asteroid impact, plague or disease - completely wiped the population out with the exception of the the southern islands. Then humans moved in and repopulated the area, interbreeding with the small remaining Denisovans population that still existed only in those southern islands before that branch went extinct. This sort of thing has happened in history numerous times. @12,000 years ago, something happened that vanished the Clovis culture people from all of the North America. Their DNA only shows up in Central and South American populations today. They used to be across all the Americas but the decimation was regional to the northern population. North America was then repopulated by people with a different genetic ancestry.

The view that the nongenetic DNA, the 98% that doesn't code for proteins, is unused is obsolete for over a decade, it is clear now that it is all regulatory since it is transcribed in regular ways in tissue. It also isn't as clocklike in its mutation as the speaker claims, there are locations which are conserved as well as any gene, and other locations that mutate rapidly. Further, it isn't mostly repetitive, much of it is "viral insertion", where I put "viral" in quotes because these are not likely to be disease causing viruses, but natural endoviral rewrites related to the mechanism of viruses.

I've been wondering about the very idea of obsolete or "left-over" genetic material. I think it's generally rash to assume that there's anything sitting around in our bodies that is superfluous to requirements. It seems to me to be a much better starting point to suppose that everything that's there has a function. Keeping a body going is expensive in energetic terms so I think we should assume that the superfluous stuff has pretty much all been eliminated.

Try re-listening to short sections of that lecture over a few weeks. And do a little parallel reading of introductory texts on anthropology. Even read a few random paragraphs of social history and political theory and psychology and economics and linguistics and philosophy. Ignore any points which are obscure. Five minutes per day at breakfast - for 12 months.

Speaking of cars, boats, and helicopters and what makes us different? A little comparative anatomy will show that Neanderthal is an ambush predator while we are persuit predators. Very different animals. For instance, we can perform an overhead throw which Neanderthal couldn't, and we can do it while running. Neanderthal lacked an achiles tendon, for another instance, which means they weren't runners. Their musculature was arranged for a sturdy vertical structure.They stood in a bent kneed pronated stance, perfect for thrusting up with a lance. They lived in dense forest, in groups numbering no more than 50 with miles and miles between groups. We live in coastal or riparian environments, in small communities with upwards of 150 people and another community within a half day walk. We kill at distance, while they killed within reach or grasp. And there would be a myriad of cultural differences resulting from just these. Neanderthals are nothing like us.

“…it wasn’t just Neanderthals and humans …”; “…and compare Neanderthal and human…”; “…Neanderthals were quite similar to humans…”; &c. Neanderthals were humans. We Sapiens are humans, too. There is no distinction in human terms between Neanderthals, erectus, sapiens, and habilis, &c. They are all human because they are all in the genus Homo-the human genus. “We might find late Neanderthals with human genes…” Indeed, every Neanderthal, as well as every erectus and denisovan and habilis and &c will have human genes because they are all human. Why not call our species “sapiens”? Yes, we are human, but we are not distinct humans from any other species in the genus Homo. So, in a human context such as this discussion we must use the specific word “sapiens” to distinguish ourselves from any other human species. One can say “modern humans” but does that obscurely mean us Homo sapiens or just the ones who exist in the modern era? But we cannot say “modern Neanderthals” because they no longer exist, but they were were also human. It is better to use the term “human” generically when discussing and comparing all human species. “Humans” are not distinct from Neanderthals: Neanderthals were as human as we are.

@@stevenpace892 -It is a bit more precise to define a species than a genus. Some consider Neanderthal and sapiens to be subspecies of the same species. The two discernible -uh-‘groups’ were certainly capable of reproducing fecund offspring, but our classification system(s?) statistically weight morphological distinctions, too, and Neanderthal was more markedly distinct from any sapiens than any sapiens differs from another of its own species today. Anthropology also considers behaviour and there’s a pretty good cased that, by all available evidence, sapiens and Neanderthal were quite different is this way as well. Finally, if Neanderthal and sapiens were so reproductively compatible as to class them as the same species, then why is Neanderthal DNA such distinctive (in modern sapiens) yet small component? If both were races of the same species, we should expect Neanderthal genes to be more evenly or broadly distributed in the sapiens genome as trait-distribution is among races of modern sapiens. But Neanderthal genes are not. Maybe there are or will be some other taxonomical system devised, but I think the current application (that the two are separate species) is as good as we have. For me the big question is whether it’s useful or not: the small amount of Neanderthal DNA in supra-Saharan modern sapiens has revealed -and probably will continue-many clues about diseases we sapiens suffer today that might help find a cure.

I disagree with what he said about autism, us, dogs, and most of the rest of animals. Lots of other critters live in social groups and look each in the eye. They are happier to be with their own than by themselves. I figure the rise in autism in North America is probably because of all the man made crap in our food and water. Including “organic” that is grown where there used to be pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers used. Still in the soil. May be in acceptable levels in one thing but they do not seem to consider that the stuff is in lots of things. Then there is genetic modifications created in labs. I gather that those who drink water bottled in plastic are more likely to get arthritis or get it sooner. I inagine how long the water is in the plastic bottles before someone drinks it makes a difference. There may be no getting around it because of the plastic particles in the stuff we eat as well. Where else is autism on the rise?

There is a picture of the two sculls available in google images. The neanderthal nose comes away from the scull at a much sharper angle. This gives people a big nose or sometimes a hook nose or a lump where the bone ends, like the nose of the speaker. Autism is possibly caused by neurotoxins in immunizations. There are many cases online where people have video of their children before and after immunization. The transformation for the worst is obvious.

Unfortunately, many childhood immunizations are given right around the same age that the symptoms of autism are likely to show up. Correlation is heartbreaking, but not evidence of causation. What neurotoxins do you think there are in immunizations? No modern childhood vaccines have mercury in more than vanishingly trace amounts (left over thimerosal that was mostly removed at the end of the manufacturing process; the body breaks down thimerosal into ethylmercury, which is different from the neurotoxin methylmercury), and no reputable scientific study (Wakefield's study had many many problems) has found any association between vaccines and autism.

Without genome sequence from H. Erectus it is difficult to say what were the differences. Hominid is not human. Awkward fact seems to be that proximity of genome, the engine of evolution , is not sufficient to explain the human phenotype.

Physical make up and DNA aside, what makes us human is the same as what makes us differ the most from great apes or any other animal. This is not only our "extra dose " of shared characteristics such as emotions, will and intellect (our soul). What sets us apart is our spirit, what the bible calls being made in "the image of God". This is our conscience, our creativity and our spiritual communion (desire, awareness of, ability to communicate with God; our religious quest and search for purpose and relevance). Compared to animals that bear a resemblance of form to humans, these qualities are vastly evident, throughout the world. Take temples, Handel's Messiah, Paganini's violin concerto, the Sistine Chapel, The silicon chip; Microscopes, and telescopes; microbiology and deep space exploration; brain surgery and philosophy. All these are realms apart from the animal experience and are the fingernail of God's nature, or image. Not everything that comprises us is physical material so the answer to the questions of human uniqueness can not be found in our physicality, any more than the music of an Oratario can be found in the ink and cellulose that represents it; or the silicon, plastic and metals of a memory chip can explain the origin of a computer software program. "In the beginning God created...." "In the beginning was the Word (Logos)..." are the most insightful sources of light on this issue., that scientific discovery points to but can not, as a discipline on its own, resolve. Science has shone much light on the dim corner of our infant knowledge but some questions are outside the realm of scientific quest. or beyond resolution by this discipline. We need to become multidisciplinary and more balanced in our study and search for truth, as the old scientific masters were, unafraid the engage the two mutually supporting faiths we have: faith in science and faith in God our Creator and eternal Father, through Jesus Christ, through whom are all things. .

It's difficult to climb a tree and carry a rock at the same time and we're still working on improving the solutions to that problem to this day.

This was an excellent lecture, but I do have a few suggestions for you to look into, in order to make it even better. Not to be presumptuous or insulting, but it seems your specialty is genetics, not primates. A couple of things about chimps (and about orangs and bonobos), courtesy of Erika, better known as Gutsick Gibbon on here. She is a primatologist, nearing her PhD, and has several very helpful videos. Chimps are in their stone age, and are known to make different tools differently in different areas. They are also warlike, very much like us. They recently were seen to go to war against a group of _gorillas,_ not just other tribes of chimps. Also, bonobos are actually in many ways are more closely related to us than chimpanzees, one of which is most relevant to your lecture. There have been multiple studies showing our genetics are more similar to bonobos than chimpanzees. They also have certain activities that we have which chimps don't have which have been seen by scientists studying them. There's a lab in a forest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, called Lola ya Bonobo. Research there has produced more than 75 published studies over the last few years, showing, among other things, that bonobos show kindness - even to strangers - more than any other primate besides maybe us. I'd suggest you look into the results: they are brilliant, IMO, and to me, very telling. Two negatives: You pronounced orangutan incorrectly. There is NO G at the end of orangutan. They are NOT orangutanGs. You actually pronounce the word like most creationists do, in fact. It was very disturbing. And one final thing: we are not "entities" when we are a haploid sperm or egg, nor are we "entities" in our own right until we are capable of functioning outside of the uterus on our own, around the 20th week or so. You are sticking some non-science something, perhaps humanism, deism, or theism, into the science you are talking about. It really doesn't belong there.

My questions are simple is there a given rate of how often Mitochondrial DNA mutates? I think my basic postulate that Mitochondrial DNA should mutate to stay compatable with its host is probably right and although I have not heard of a system of built in mutation in terms of mitochondrion or chloroplasts or other genetic parties living in symbosis with a host it still feels logical if not to say right. There are so many holes in the Mitochondrial eve theory, not least that minimumum required genetic variation, secondly treating Mitochondrial DNA as if it human DNA there just might be a difference. why is it blindly accepted It is a given scientific argument that at least 500 pairs of adults are necessary for a human population to survive. does not quite pair with Adam and Eve. Also the mitochomdrial link theory says it must change in only one individual why? if thousands have the same Mitochondrial and identical genetic Mitochondria at that, it should all change at around the same time does that mean that identical genetic material does not have the possibility of an identical change? in many individuals, it is programmed to change so it will change but it may just change the same way in many individuals. Now show me that the same mithochondrial DNA in many individuals is not preprogramed to mutate and that mutataion can not occur in more than one individual in an exactly same manner. Since it starts at the same point why can it not end aty the same point? We get stuck in patterns of thinking, Mitochondrial DNA supposedly mutates only every so often so all of us have the same Mitochondrial DNA so before it Mutated everybody that existed had the same Mitochondrial DNA that is different to human DNA and does not have to behave the same as Human DNA anymore than Virus DNA does. Wolly thinking after all. if after so long a change occurs in Mitochondrial DNA then why if everybody had exactly the same it should have all been at that point so why in only one individuall Presumations are the death of good Science. Presumption 1 all Mutations are singular (thats human genetics talking) Presumption 2 Identical DNA cannot mutate in the same way. Actually one could argue that it should. If Mitochondrial DNA mutates every x thousands of years there should be evidence of differnt Mitochondrial DNA across the human Genome showing a different Genetic change I have seen no such evidence nor heard of any that is why we are all supposedly descended from an EVE. nor have I heard of any having the older premutated form of DNA some evidence of either should exist if their theory is right, Now let us say that Mitochondrial DNA is built with an inbuilt mutative pattern every so often it mutates but it should all mutate perhaps a number of ways but only one of those is successful it does not mean that that Mitochondrial DNA only mutates in that form in one indivual. the whole point of it is it is identical in all of us, but the premuttated form would have been common to all, The Eve theory is that it mutates in one individual and everybody else dies only she has offspring no other mitochondrial mutations are found and no pre existing forms are found either I woud expect to see evidence of both having existed. Neanderthals have the same Mitochondrial DNA oh they must have interbred with humans, wolly thinking, both Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals are believed to have had a common ancester and so both would have had the Same un mutated Mitochondrial DNA. If Mitochondrial DNA has a built in mutation pattern and from what I have read about it and how it takes x thousands of years for a change to occur, which is why they shout that it must be in one individual, but suppose it is a function of Mitochondrial DNA to mutate every x thousands of years and suppose it happens species or even over multiple species wide perhaps several variations but only successful variations survive Even Mitochondrial DNA must need to change to stay compatable to its host just not very often. Take all the hominid and Great apes at one time all the ancestors must have shared a common Mitochondrial DNA now how does that Mitochondrial DNA keep up with its hosts an inbuilt mutation pattern would be the best way if ever x years it mutates in all species at the same time probably several variants in each species the various variants have various degrees of success but whichever variant works in a given species becomes standard The Mitochondrial DNA thus adapts to each species as it goes along and has changed to suit each species as the species develop so new mutations are needed to keep that strain compatable to that species. The point is that such a system of species wide change would ensure its hosts and its survival left to individual change is not a genetic survival trait for the Mitochondrial DNA the many have more genetic chance than the one. What I postulate here may seem simplistic but Nature actually adores simplistic because it is efficient. Also note here that the adaptation to each host species is probably the driving mechanism here

Gol, tighten it up. QUOTE "Go backwards in life, when you were child, when you were toddler, when you were baby, when you were (pause) an egg cell..." so many meaningless words. Epitome of blah blah blah, Where s the beef.

Yes, but published here only a year ago. Instead of "This draft sequence yields important new insights," I would have put out a disclaimer to the effect that some of the information presented has been superceded.
