The Discovery Of The Earliest Human Ancestor | First Human | Timeline

“Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge”
Recently a team of fossil hunters working in Kenya came upon a set of fossilised teeth and a series of bones. Their find set in motion a chain of events that ignited excitement across the scientific world, for if they were correct in their findings, not only would they have found the oldest human ancestor, but much of the received wisdom humankind’s evolution would have to be rewritten. This programme is the story of their discovery and the implications it has for understanding of how we split from the apes. Dubbed “Millennium Man” by the press, he is twice as old as the most famous skeleton in the world “Lucy”. The remarkable link between Millennium Man and humans is his ability to walk on two legs, overturning previously accepted scientific opinion on why, how and when humans began to walk. As Professor Senut who worked on the project points out, “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge” and Millennium Man seems to be challenging an awful lot of accepted science. Documentary first broadcast in 2001.

as someone who was an obsessive tree climber from the age of 5 until disabled in my 50's in my 40's I was still so good that a friend of mine who ran a live performance company, most famously in a forest used me as specialist scaffolding erector reaching up into the canopy, which was quite low at about 40 feet, and I can testify that being bipedal is a huge advantage up in the trees. actually more so in terms of moving around than in the task i was performing. for a start it enabled me to walk along branches wit my arms spread wide which acted like a ballance pole as used by tightrope walkers. it also improved my reach to nearby branches. I believe that Orangutan behavior also shows this and the first time i came across that theory, I knew from experience that it was correct so I think we were walking upright in the trees and this by luck proved superior on the ground for many reasons

Also facts are that this "discovery" has been widely disputed even among anthropologists and argued that it's merely a collection of extinct ape bones scattered miles apart. Now, had the Kenyan discovered a nearly intact, nearly complete skeleton with a skull.....which has NEVER been discovered btw. It's a difderent story then.

What would happen if Staphylococcus aureus evolved into a cockroach? First you need to have legs, and you'll need to have good hair on them so that you can crawl anywhere. It should have eyes, it should have a mouth, it should have wings, and it should have antennas. Not only that, but the internal organs and the brain underneath the nerve cells that can coordinate the senses will have to emerge. Of course, there are many, many more complex things that need to be located, but that's it. For the things described above to occur, the amino acids would have to be arranged to build the organs and the genetic information would have to be stored through DNA. But have humans ever observed any new generation of genetic information even once? No cases of increased genetic information have been observed. The famous atheist and evolutionist Richard Dawkins, shown in the video below, admits that the complexity of life, or the increase in genetic information, is the biggest mystery in life history, and that no single organism is created by chance, but believes that evolution is possible with the accumulation of very little luck. claim . However, he answers the creationist's question with 10 seconds of silence, asking for only one instance of little luck, one increase in genetic information. And when the video was released a year later, I hurriedly write a long article. Of course, there is no case of an increase in genetic information in his long article, which he wrote a year later. I can't give This is because there have been no cases of increased genetic information observed in humans. “Studying all aspects of mutations at the molecular level shows that mutations only reduce genetic information, not increase it. ..neo-Darwinian theory should explain how information about life is accumulated by evolution. The essential biological difference between humans and bacteria is the information they possess. All other biological differences arise as a result of differences in information. The human genome contains far more information than the bacterial genome. Mutations cannot accumulate information because mutations cause information to be lost... Not a single mutation has been found that adds even the slightest bit of information to the genome. It also clearly shows that the millions and millions of mutations do not occur as the neo-Darwinian theory requires. Perhaps the kind of mutation they require will never happen. The fact that no such information-enhancing mutations were observed means more than just failed their theory. This is evidence that refutes their theory. This is where we seriously challenge the new Darwinian theory. ” 4 - Lee Spetner (Physicist / Ph.D. at MIT, Professor at Johns Hopkins, Harvard University) “Mutations only cause changes in information that already exists. There is no such thing as an increase in information, but rather, it usually has only harmful consequences . There can never be such a thing as a blueprint for a new function or a new institution. Mutations cannot be a source of new information.” 5 - Werner Gitt (Director of the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology) Rather, science constantly observes a decline in genetic information . In other words, the mutations that evolutionists put forward as evidence of evolution were to decrease information, not increase it. This is evidence of degeneration, not evolution.

Thanks for this video. In the 1970s, I took several elective classes in human evolution and anthropology. At the time, the conventional wisdom asserted that upright posture and bipedalism arose out of necessity when apes moved out of the trees into the savanna. I disputed that paradigm, and wrote a thesis arguing that upright posture and bipedalism probably developed in the trees, using gibbon locomotion and anatomy as my examples.

Even the theory in this video doesn't say how deep are this scientist papers on this problem. But still we can't prove this by 100 %, because we can't prove it experimentally. We will need travel back in time and recorded the process of the evolution of bipedal-ism. That something can develop this way doesn't mean that it really happen this way.

I do have two points of contention with the conclusion that these are the most likely direct ancestors of humans.

Just walking upright and human-like molars is intriguing and a possibility but not settled just the best we have right now. Added the robotics section was kind of silly otherwise I would expect a lot of mammals to be bipedal. My personal idea and it is just an idea, is that tool use led to bipedalism. Having your hands-free would obviously greatly facilitate this. The issue would be if these early hominids used tools extensively so far back.

Think about it would you be willing to die for Lucy? Look how many Christians lost their lifes for Jesus they knew who he was they seen the resurection the healing the prophecy's. And one thing the Roman's were very good at was cruifying people that was what they were known for. And they had guards Jew guards and Roman guards blocking his tomb they seen him with his glorified body and they seen angels. And when Jesus died it was 12 noon and it turned black for 3 hours and there was a huge earth quake. They have so many documents from people in that time reporting on it there is so much proof research it and you will see. And the only one I know of in history or anytime was Jesus who could raise himself from the deal and many other people and they have evidence of everything.

[@saphorr]

I mean, obviously for every new adaptation there must be *something* before: innovation always builds on what is present before. But the adaptions never happen by themselves in preparation for some transition to a new style of moving/eating/whatever, they happen because they are themselves useful in the moment. Animals developed lungs before they moved on land: what does "on land" mean? Living all your life on land? Amphibians (e.g. frogs and salamanders) still aren't there. If it's just spending lots of time on land, that started way earlier with fish which needed to drag themselves from puddle to puddle. Birds had wings before they learned to fly: well, what does 'fly' mean? Powered flight, e.g. flapping in the air and going higher? Then yes, they did have wings, but those wings were already used for gliding. The theme here is that the adaptation precedes the new ability, but only because the adaptation offered some benefit by getting the creature *some* of the way to having that new ability. For us humans, crawling is better than sitting still, and walking is better than crawling. We don't sit still for 14 months after birth and then suddenly pop up on two legs and start racing about.

The legs of both very young human babies and orangutans splay at the hips allowing each to be carried on an adult hip. When our babies learn to stand upright, their legs still splay with knees pointing more toward the sides. As human babies develop, the their knees become more oriented toward the front and the arms are used to allow independent movement by clutching at chairs, coffee tables, or a convenient adult leg, rather than a convenient branch.

Great video, and wonderful that they rightly conclude that an orthograde posture evolved in early ape ancestors in the trees, rather than being exclusively a definition for hominins. But they should note all great and lesser apes descend from an orthograde (upright) ancestor from the early Miocene, eg. Morotopithecus, 21 Ma. However, the almost universal blindsight that exists regarding the environmental motivating factors that probably made all apes since the Miocene at least partial bipedal is frustrating. The video makers and the discoverers of Orrorin say it themselves. Water was everywhere. The fossils were discovered in an ancient river bed, surrounded by turtles, hippos, crocs and waterdeer fossils. Wading in water would force an orthograde ape to stand upright, relieving the pressure of gravitational forces, tensions, aches and pains, and making it easier to forage for aquatic herbaceous vegetation. Dental calculus shows they ate C4 plants. Not indigestible savannah grasses and sedges, as claimed, but cattails, waterlilies, etc., just as many lowland gorilla feed today. Maybe then they'll also see that Orrorin was not a human ancestor, but closer in divergence to Gorilla. To say "if it walked on two legs it must be human" is grossly misleading and has pulled paleoanthropology in the wrong direction for over a century.

[@OrvilleJenkins]

Yes. The Savannah theory had become so strongly embedded in the thought up until recent finds, that some continued to try to tweak the Savannah theory to make it fit the new findings. That did not work. Toop many indisputable facts all converging into a quite different picture than the earlier theory based on very few samples. As you point out, the original format of the apes was what is now called upright bipedal. Anatomical comparisons across the full primate range confirms that the gorilla and chimpanzee bent semi-upright format is something that developed separately in those two lines of development to bind the lower vertebrae to the pelvic bone. Earlier simpler primate forms match the human free vertebrates in the lower back.

It was after this discovery that they found Ita a missing link on the human lineage 47 million years back in time. This animal lived in the region known today as Germany when it was still a tropical rainforest and the climate was much warmer with lots of very large trees. Ita was a treeclimbing lemur. So it's clear that the bipedalism began when they were living in trees to give more agility and also when they have to quickly walk or jump on the ground as well.

As a species, we haven't been recording history nearly long enough for us to have had the time to experience and document evolutionary changes from a first hand perspective. That's why we utilize paleontology to gather data from a wide range of generations of any given lineage to be able to pinpoint and confirm evolutionary changes which take place over a large period of time, in a way that ultimately allows us to find when a change of species occurs. The fossil record isn't lying, you're just ignorant. Read an accredited book on the Theory of Evolution before you start spouting off this kind of drivel; then maybe you won't sound so foolish.

3:30 This man deserves everything…

[@normagiffin3468]

Have to agree completely

[@bastiaanstapelberg9018]

Laten we deze documentaire ter harte nemen

[@RDLondon2023]

Imagine bipedal small humanoids running around in the bushes with probably the attentionspan of a human!! So cool!

[@DM-elguapo]

Ha!! that made me laugh :)

[@eddieking2976]

Human origins is so fascinating. Great video.

[@markeby6985]

Ardipithecus provides independent verification that bipedalism started in the forest with a far more complete skeleton. Their strange walking/climbing feet really clench the case. Really thought the case was much better for Ardipithicus being first branch until saw this video. The cutting edge tech reminds me of the work NASA did on the Mars meteorite ALH84007. Too bad the data for Selanthropus is even weaker given it’s in the wrong place.

Good video. I liked the scene of discovery.

[@lBJamiel]

Why do so many modern documentaries have irrelevant, loud so-called music? It almost ruins one’s appreciation of the documentary.

[@MrSammer1972]

Very annoying

[@paulscottfilms]

Too much hype for me. Oh My God we have found an early ancestor. Our find is the most important ever. No. Hype and self-advancement.

@kim ama 😭😭😭

[@eatsleeppk]

Why are you mad though

[@rapidrabbit7175]

What do you want? The didgeridoo?

[@Rico-Suave_]

Watched all of it again, to relearn and review video before forwarding 48:32

[@crockerakahops90sjumpmantexas]

I believe trees realease some kind kind moisture into our air as well as well allowing us to breathe.

[@ryublueblanka]

Imagine finding a handful of my bones and then telling people who I was and how I lived and what I looked like. Science!

[@spatrk6634]

yes. science. by looking at pelvis you can tell if its male or female. if it walked bipedaly. by looking at teeth you can tell what it ate. etc... science

[@kaalen24]

Looks like the first human was Clint Eastwood as I click on this video...

[@fbritorufino]

Came to comment/upvote this

[@kicsike24]

You are wrong. It was Obama's great-great-grandfather.

[@akhadzhimov6689]

Exactly!!! lmao

[@Bamruff62]

Kaalen, ... LOL. You too? Same here. The picture look like Clint Eastwood to me as well.

[@samsalamander8147]

I honestly thought it was Donald Trump

[@grahamjohnbarr]

I notice when I lived in SE Asia that SE Asians do have a Wide Gate that pushed the knees apart. I've always associated that with the way they squat. Does the femur neck have that groove? I notice that the robots don't have a knee joint. I see the next step would be to develop a robot with a knee joint & ankle joint.

[@user-ih9cp7oe7z]

I need to visit this museum
