COULD YOU PLEASE READ MY TOPSIDE COMMENT ??? .... THIS IS NOT FUNNY, THIS NOT A JOKE !!!

[@poolman20001]

I know that you only focus in ancient humans. But your work is so good that I cannot help but ask this question. Is it possible for you to make a video all about the evolution of pigs? Including theoretical future projections on evolutionary paths indicated by current trends? This may seem like a very strange request. But, I believe that the American feral pig population is going through a rapid stage of evolutionary intelligence and it's fascinating. The America feral pig, and the Canadian super pig are being poisoned, trapped, and hunted. This leads to about a 60% reduction in in there dreading sbilities, and yet there numbers are growing every year. So is their territory. They are too smart, they can eat anything. They can breedcst the age of 6 months, they can have up to 13 piglets per litter. Every year they become harder to deal with. The 60% that are hunted, leaves behind 40% that are undoubtedly smarter. Because their generations are so quick, and do to the bottle neked survivability put on to them by the humans, they are undergoing rapid evolution when considering intelligence. In one generation, they are able to advoid nearly all traps that were newly created the year before. Hunting them has become so difficult that only masterful hunters are able to hunt them down and kill them. They use to use helicopters, but the pigs now know how to evade that. They are so smart and aware of there surroundings, that hunters must go to great lengths to kill them. Even though pigs and humans common ancestors are far removed compared to a chimp, pigs and humans share more DNA together. Something that I find difficult to understand. It's around 99%. I believe that over the next 30 years, we will end up with super pigs so intelligent that they will be able to compete with us for survivability. We will have no choice but to accept them. Surprisingly there is very little data out there regarding their projected evolutionary past regarding intelligence. What I would love to see is a well thought out documentary on their evolution starting with our common ancestor. I want to see brain size, and cognitive ability tests, IQ, where is the data? I just let it fascinating and I believe that it will continue to gain a lot of media attention as time goes on.

North, bro the quality of these documentaries are honestly in the same tier as the ones from professional companies. Glad you're posting again.

[@tanaquilz2842]

Better even

[@namewitheld]

They're far better when one considers the depth and specificity of information contained in them. "Professionally" produced documentaries are written for children. Mad respect to this channel.

[@isaacburrows8405]

I volunteer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, where I teach about anthropology. Right outside of the human evolution room where I’m usual situated is a little wall about the Folsom spear points along with the original point with the bison ribs and a few other relevant artifacts. I love talking about it and it’s history with the guests as it’s such a little known but interesting and significant topic. Thank you for bringing more light to this, me and I’m sure the rest of the DMNS team are grateful for this.

Hey man, I know you probably won't read this, but I just graduated with a BA in History and a minor in Anthropology, as well as completing an archaeology field school, and I just want you to know that your videos (and your linked sources) have been very helpful both for alleviating boredom and providing motivation.

Thank you for your thorough acknowledgement of Mcjunkins Involvement in helping to reshape firmly entrenched paradigms. It pleases me when non-academics make important discoveries to further science. Thank you for your extensive efforts in producing these well done episodes. As a "college kid from the mid-west " you are doing one hell of a job!

[@YogiMcCaw]

Amazing how advanced Folsom culture actually was. From the advanced stone-tool techniques, the making of clothing suitable for mountain winter environments, evidence of art and rituals, and even what could be considered industrial-scale bison kills, shows a people highly intelligent and very sophisticated. I can't wait until some actual human remains are found and analyzed from this culture. Probably lost forever are the myths and stories these people passed down through their generations, which would be another whole level of their culture. Pretty amazing! Keep up the great work North 02!

[@doomsloth7884]

I’ve been working in New Mexico for about 14 years now, doing archaeological and biological clearances for projects. Power lines, road extensions, that sort of thing. The sheer volume of artifacts here is amazing. There are places you genuinely can’t walk without hitting pottery or lithic materials. Things that would be amazing anywhere else are barely even noticed here. And their stone tool work, I mean, damn. The time, skill, materials is all just incredible. This is only job where I can get mad because work is over and I need to look more. It’s great.

[@wayneorellana2549]

Would you ever consider doing a deep dive into the ancient history of the Australian Aborigines?

Yes I would love a video about that I feel like we are taught very little about their history which is so sad

Dude is exceptionally talented. You've got a bright future in this line of work.

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

The Folsom culture is truly fascinating. They are the survivors of mass extinction and the younger dryas.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

There are many comments echoing my feelings commending your terrific quality of work. Great narration that is easy to listen to with smooth editing. We are given time to appreciate and absorb the images which, for a lack of another word, are so tactile. The small stories that you create are also engaging. I said this last time, and you were very understanding, that it is important to maintain a balance with these stories. Some will depict triumph while others will remind us of the brutal hardships that were faced. Again, really professional work.

First time watcher/listener of your videos but absolutely won't be the last. I know you are told how surprised viewers are that you do create your content with no other help and that you are just a college kid in the Midwest. Well, it is a fact, the whole final production you uploaded for this one video that I've seen is well and above so many educational videos produced by companies that have a full studio of employees. If this video is any indication of the quality product you are making public, then you have obviously loads of talent and you have put in innumerable hours of your young life learning so many skills that are necessary to research, create, develop, write the story storyboard, graphics, dialogue / narration, audio, editing,and everything else I forgot to list, then the catalog of your videos will be great to watch and should be watched by everyone.

[@kevinwhitehead6076]

The fluted point was designed to be placed in the shaft with out hafting to the shaft , The binding was below the point just tensioning the point in place. After thrusting into a large animal with a long spear they would insert a new point and stab again. The archaic Indian improved the system with dart points and spear throwers with detachable fore shafts that would stay in the animal while the fletched shafts would be retrieved and fitted with a new point and thrown again .

[@patrickbush9526]
