Actually pure hunter-gatherer societies wherever and whenever they occur tend to struggle *less* to acquire food, are aggressively egalitarian and usually have much more fun and happiness than agricultural or pastoral societies. They have no ownership, hierarchy, paternity, inheritance or slavery. Even in the 1800s for instance, people raised modern then lost and taken in by hunter gatherers who are later "rescued" by their culture would generally run away to rejoin the hunter-gatherers. While hunter gatherers treated as lifelong guests of European royalty prefer to return to hunter-gathering and feel it is a richer lifestyle. Hunter gatherers have abilities we would consider preternatural in terms of senses. They only have a baby every 5 yrs while post-domestication people have babies every year. Imagine only needing to "work" several hrs a day. They're lives are just superior to those in civilization.

We’re not even a Blink of an Eye in the Grand Scheme of Things. The earth is over 4.5 Billion years old, and Life first crawled out of the Primordial Soup 3.5 Billion years ago to become Land Creatures of all sorts, and they have never stopped Evolving. Consider the fact that Technology as we know it is only roughly 150 years old at best. Written history only does back 6,000 years as well. At the absolute Best, the oldest written history we know of only goes back to a measly 4,000 BCE. That’s it. The last ice age ended 13,000 years ago, and before that, the world is believed to have been entirely different. So much more oxygen and places like the Middle East are believed to have been vast Jungles and swamps and Savannahs.

[@mpetersen6]

@@jandrews6254 I assure you I have no illusions about the violent nature of the natural world. Everything in nature is food for something else somewhere along the line. It's my opinion that part of the reason some people in Western societies think nature is warm and cuddly is to be laid squarely at the feet of Walt Disney. Projecting our own emotions and feelings onto other species is doing a disservice to them. Clearly my Golden Retriever has emotions. And has feelings. One thing he seems to clearly lack though is fore thought. He lives in the moment. Walt on the other hand through the films and TV shows his company produced imbued them with not only their own feelings but ours as well. Our good ones anyways. To some kid growing up in a densely urban environment the idea of nature being pure and good could be easy to justify against the unnatural squalor of an urban environment. Nature is neither good nor pure. It simply is. The species in it react to their environment and their instincts. That does not mean we as a species should treat all other species as prey or be willingly cruel. In the end what is more cruel. Taking down a deer with one shot or convulsing a cow, hoisting its hind legs in the air and slitting its throat. Either way the venison* or the beef ends up on somebodies plate. *I have no personal arguement with hunting. As long as if you kill it, you eat it. Hunting as merely a means to put a trophy on the wall and leaving the rest of the animal is the worst of human habits greed. Not that the animal will go to waste. The scavengers need to eat to. I once worked with a guy who went on a number of "dream" hunting trips. Northern Canada for Caribou. A trip to South Africa bow hunting. As he told it especially on the South African trip if you took a shot and hit what you where shooting at it cost the permit. Whether the animal was tracked and found or not. If found the guide service took the prime cuts for the camp menu. Their employees took everything else except the cape or hide if the hunter wanted it (the cape or hide being the only thing you could return home with in any case). Is that cruel. Maybe. But not as cruel as ivory or rhino horn poachers

[@jeanmeslier9491]

mpetersen6. I happen to agree with you, although this can be a controversial subject. I wonder if the several people who have been mauled to death by bears in the past few years were influenced by them being presented as "warm and cuddly." I have long been a critic of Walt Disney's movies. In so many of them someone or something dies, while exuding powerful psychological emotions. I have made a sort of informal study of Disney movies, while trying to explain them to a psychologist friend. Bambi, of course, is an anti-hunting film. Pinnochio is purely pornographic. The powerful rejection and loneliness of Pinnochio, is what does the damage to the psyche of 6 year olds. Go to a theater where it is being shown, you will have a theater full of sobbing, heartbroken 6 year olds. Many young children I have been associated with, friend's, girlfriend's, nephews, nieces, almost all will have nightmares after seeing Pinnochio. I used to work on a hunting ranch. The owner was very adamant about how the wildlife was treated. The hunters were not allowed to kill anything, except their target animal, Deer, hog, turkeys or quail. After dressing the animal, the intestines and trim had to be taken to feeding stations for hogs and other scavengers. They were not allowed to kill snakes, coyotes, rats, etc. Therefore the ranch had a healthy ecosystem. Unlike some neighboring ranches. For me, I had rather come back with a photo of a beautiful animal to frame and put on the wall, rather than parts of a dead animal.

I actually remember when the events portrayed in the Apollo 13 movie happened due to the mispronunciation of Biloxi, MS by (I believe) Walter Konkrite.

My granddad worked for Boeing and they had recently acquired a contract with NASA for their site in New Orleans East. I was very, very young, but for obvious reasons the Apollo 13 situation had the stress level in our home at maximum levels. I undoubtedly sensed it which is probably why I remember the occasion although I was barely two years old. I actually did not know that was what I was remembering until I saw the movie and the part with Biloxi which is really pronounced bill-ux-ee being instead pronounced bill-ox-ee. My grandma was so 'worked up' that she screamed at the TV, "It's Bill-ux-ee, you dummy!" I remembered that so clearly that when I saw the clip as an adult, I immediately knew where I had heard it and how remarkably young I was to remember it at all. In fact, I wasn't even two yet. Apollo 13 was in 1969, and I was born Dec 2, 1967. I believe it only happened because of the incredibly difficult time it was for the adults in my life.

4:26 The Tiger is like "That's a whole lot of nope."

[@erikjarandson5458]

I can see why they assume that tigers ran from gigantopithecus. However... leopards have been known to attack gorillas, and Asian elephants are afraid of tigers. The fist indicates that significant size difference between a cat predator and a great ape isn't as significant as we might think. The second is astounding. The only reason why elephants would be afraid of tigers, is if they have been prayed upon to a sufficient extent to develop an instinctive fear. Considering that tigers are lone hunters, that says a lot about their prowess. On a side note, crocodiles are also afraid of tigers, even _in deep water._ Anyway, even gigantopithecus was dwarfed by elephants. I also doubt that they were comparable to crocodiles in deep water. At most, gigantopithecus will have been ferocious enough that tigers didn't pray on them routinely. However, ferocious enough to scare a tiger... no.

[@erikjarandson5458]

@Honudes Gai Even the biggest and strongest gorilla silverback fighting against a tiger would soon be a very, very dead gorilla. Tigers are not only big and strong, and not only equipped with teeth and claws, but their entire physical structure is adapted for the purpose of killing with minimal effort, and every lethal capability can be brought to bear simultaneously. A gorilla comes nowhere close to this. The silverback would have mortal injuries within the first second of contact, and be actually dead, or barely twitching with life, within another half minute, at most. Human ancestors were helpless against big cats until they developed the spear, and even then, with the early spears, a single man against a tiger would be much more likely to die than not, even if he wasn't surprised. A tiger would have a much better chance at surviving a surprise attack from a spear wielding man, than a spear wielding man from a tiger, even with the most advanced spears. In fact, a solitary man would have no chance of surviving a tiger attack. Of course, a large group of spear wielding men, deliberately tracking and hunting a tiger, will have the clear advantage. That's about what it takes, though. Ask anyone who works in tiger territory what the chance is of surviving a tiger attack, even armed with a gun, and they'll tell you "zero". You won't even see the tiger, until it has both teeth and claws in you, and then it's too late. Tigers are right to be afraid of us. We really are the most dangerous, as a species. However, as an individual, if you're on foot in tiger territory and not afraid of tigers, you're an idiot. Gigantopithecus, of course, wasn't a tool user. If it came to a fight between a gigantopithecus and a tiger, I'd bet everything I own on the tiger to win.

[@OrangeUtan1]

@@erikjarandson5458 tigers DO NOT hunt Asian elephants that's just not true. Being startled by a potential dangerous animal isn't uncommon either. That's why humans are still afraid of spiders even if it's not rational. So that doesn't mean they hunt them. A leopard is not taking on a silver back gorilla. just no. Maybe they hunt females and babies but not silverbacks Tigers that existed around that time would not hunt the king kong known as gigantipithicus. There's been no evidence to find any predators to them except maybe homo erectus. So yeah I would run too if the closet thing to king kong was after me

[@erikjarandson5458]

@@OrangeUtan1 I never said that tigers hunt adult elephants. I also never said that leopards hunt silverbacks. I said elephants are afraid of tigers, indicating a relatively recent evolutionary stage where, at the very least, tigers hunted elephant calves. My guess is that that stage is right now, but would have to look it up to say for sure. Then I said that a leopard would definitely be able to kill a silverback, meaning that a silverback would never attack a leopard. They'll instead mutually avoid each other, and at the most make displays. Since a leopard is several times faster than a silverback, it'll be quite at ease even within mutual sight of a silverback. Some humans are moderately afraid of spiders, and, indeed, there are spiders that can kill us, unless we get medical treatment. The analogy to elephants and tigers would be valid only if tigers actually kill adult elephants. I doubt that tigers hunted healthy, adult, male gigantopithecus. It would be needlessly dangerous for a lone hunter. However, I'm also completely sure that a gigantopithecus that attacked a tiger would end up dead, and the tiger would probably escape injury. You really can't underestimate the difference between a predator and a vegetarian. Tigers are built to kill large animals, quickly, safely, and with minimum effort, and they're built very, very well for it. They're built for that, the same way gigantopithecus was built for stripping tasty leaves off a plant. I'd say one or two kicks by the tiger's hind legs to the gigantopithecus' belly, and "King Kong" would be disemboweled. Literally. As in stumbling over its own guts. Unless the tiger decided to go for the throat. Or both. Cats are scary, big and small.

[@OrangeUtan1]

@@erikjarandson5458 man these tiger fanboys are almost as toxic as fans of certain superheroes. My point was humans are afraid of different irrational things because it's built into or brains. Toy clowns can't hurt us yet people are still scared of them. Elephants are also highly intelligent so the same would like go for them. Yes predators are built to kill things but like wise herbivores are built to defend themselves in someway. With gorilla's its with speed and power since they live on the ground. The same would go for the gigantopithicus. The whole point of their size and power is to defend themselves against predators like tigers. Infact silverbacks have been known to kill leopards not the other way round. They actually have a more powerful bite force than leopards (twice as powerful) and are 10x stronger than humans
