Pre-Modern World History: The Peopling of the World (Part One)

This poorly made animal is the peak of all human striving toward online learning, created for a university class on pre-modern world history.

This makes me wildly excited for this class, super interesting stuff!

Hi, possibly not your target audience, 57 year old Brit with no higher education but a lifelong love of history of all ages...but I have to say this is one of the clearest, entertaining and watchable videos I have seen, I seen a lot in those years..... soft Boston or NY accent? suits the gentle world weary tone...lol But the main thing, I understood everything you said, no gobbledygook, thanks you....👏

This is so kind of you to say! I post these primarily to then link them to an online university course I teach. But, I'm thrilled for anyone else to get something out of them. The accent, by the way, is the southern US.

Ancient history so hot right now. Leaving this to boost the channel.

[@DaisyDebs]

So interesting ! Thankyou and I totally agree with Davis Soulsby's comment .

Aborigines reached Australia considerably before 50,000 BC, possibly 66,000 BC. And ancient hominins reached islands far earlier than that. Just a few examples were Homo luciensis and Homo florensis and Neanderthals found on Crete..

Fascinating stuff, although as another middle-aged Brit I would disagree with your spelling of ochre! BTW, Tanzania is in East Africa, on the East coat between Kenya & Mozambique.

[@royseibel511]

Shouldn’t it be EAST Africa

[@goodenoughhistory]

Yep. I repeated a typo in my source material. I fixed it for the in-class versions. Eventually I need to fix it here. Thanks for watching so closely!
