CARTA: Early Hominids: A New Cradle for Mankind; Early Hominids of Ethiopia

[@-LSTR-]

These Carta series are the best info on ancient hominids on youtube, thank you

[@IamVerilance]

I never heard of this man before this year (at least to my memory) but I am now a big fan great orator for a language that is not his first!!

[@rebelliousnature4795]

The French archeologist was great, I loved his personality, you can tell he really enjoys his job and wants to make it fun for everyone as well... I'd love to have him as a professor, his English was fine, if you spend enough time hearing different accents and language you get an ear for them eventually so for those complaining please just dip yourself into other cultures and your mind may just open up.

[@caseyjude5472]

I enjoyed this lecture & these speakers very much. Thanks for posting!

[@lbburgett]

I am going to start pronouncing it, "EE-po-pot-A-meuse." Love this guy!

Excellent research on our human origin by UC Berkeley and UCTV. Great presentations by Professors Tim White, Yohannes Hailesselasis and Sileshi Semaw. It is clear that all roads leads into Ethiopia which is really the heaven for all anthropologist and paleontologists. Lucy and Ardi are living proof to that TRUTH.

[@willdorak985]

The French scientist is not being arrogant at all. He is trying to be entertaining even if you don't see it that way. At least he is the only one making friendly facial expressions. He looks alive. All the others look emotionless, bland, cold, robotic.

[@vinnytaranova6163]

He seems like a funny guy and I enjoyed his talk , but dang gun that smacking was kinda distracting.

[@FOLIPE]

I also enjoyed his lecture quite a lot, he could improve his English but then, no one is perfect and he good at his job. He is a great scientist and gave a great lecture as well. I'm satisfied

[@TomCook-jw6ur]

Willdorak You are right in my humble opinion; his English is about like my French-rudimentary, but were he more facile with language I think he’d be hilarious!

[@crescendyr8438]

@@vinnytaranova6163 Yeah. Why would you chew gum while doing a presentation?

[@search895]

He is like a chubby weird Bill Murray

[@anialiandr]

Thank you for this lecture -- THANK YOU we hear of Brunet but his lectures alre always in French and finally this ONE - THank you

[@MightyLumber]

The cradle of mankind is in East Africa, most notably Tanzania along the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater regions. It is very possible these other discoveries were found in other regions because they were nomads who moved from region to region.

[@lartetulumne]

Deep esteem for all, but expecially for Sileshi Semaw ‘cos he found the older stone tools in Gona... I read all his article about East and Ouda Gona ... very good job!!!

[@waynewatson2609]

You lovely intelegent man, i love your sense of humor wich makes me want to listen more closely to what you have to say-- Tracie Hall Sunbury vic Australia

[@TheSpiker4sure]

Ah the joy of hindsight. This was published in 2011 and numerous genome have been fully sequenced since. Many of the conclusions made by these speakers have been proven to be erroneous. Science is moving so swiftly now that anything over about a year old must be reviewed against new information.

[@elzevierjaviergarcia890]

They selected African Continent because they can explain the oldest humanoid osea found out of that Continent.

[@richb2229]

That’s the way science works. Propose a theory with information you have then when new information comes in make adjustments or throw out the old theory. That’s why there isn’t “indisputable science”.

[@conner13.c16]

I am looking forward to listen the new discoveries of this French paleontologist now that there has been ten years from this symposium.

[@chrissetari6433]

it would really help if the closed caption better resembled the actual words spoken... it's like spellcheck on drugs... have they never heard of proofreading????

[@frankwillow-rogersjr.3253]

Perhaps most of us do not care. But I do. [Speaking of Dates that these Talks occur.] It is important to know if the talk was Ex: 2013 when a Discovery was originated..or perhaps 7-years later, during some random University -talk.

[@davidallard1980]

Did you guys test Madagascar for Denisovans yet? There's a language connection between that part of Africa, and the pacific islands, and there's Denisovan DNA everywhere else that language was. Also, have you checked the older bodies in Egypt for it yet? In Peru and Mesoamerica the older bodies had more of it, and their masonry style is the same as what is found on the pacific Islands and in Egypt?

[@SiberianSwordsman]

Maybe put in the keywords for this video, "Toumai, Sahelanthropus, tchadensis", so that it is easier to find for those searching for it.

[@shubhamrajak6822]

Thank you so much for this lecture

[@corazoncubano5372]

Interesting, and excellent lecture.

[@elzevierjaviergarcia890]

After forgeting speaking about his own hormone glands for rubbing around his tree house to mark his territorial zone...I am done !

[@monakw]

Most excellent ..thank you.

[@perrycomeau2627]

I enjoy to study the lemur.

[@WmGood]

Following the French, it is my opinion that a lot more work needs to be done in North Africa. It is possible that region may be the actual cradle of man and while some work has been done a lot more is needed.

[@helgahilabrummer8197]

I need to say THANK YOU!

[@pgm98387]

Very interesting lecture! ***** Thanks for the excellent presentation.

[@jerrybear3081]

anybody who thinks the french speaker is arrogant, this is how french people are, forward and frank.

[@eighthocean145]

Well, sure, the French are the Franks so...

[@M.Robespierre3691]

What a cliché!

[@waynewatson2609]

Sorry its Tracie Hall again iwas talking about Brnet.

[@theeggwoman]

thanks!

[@kayzeaza]

Haha this guy makes learning entertaining

[@dlwatib]

Mercifully, the French guy with the thick accent only spoke for 15-20 minutes and then there were other speakers with a firmer grasp of English.

[@sampotter5061]

dlwatib Thanks for the time. That guy was killing me. I had to skip him.

[@tinachoat8908]

Sam Potter I skipped him as well, not because of his accent because he lacked manners and chewed gum threw his presentation.

[@dwightehowell6062]

They are telling me I have a bad connection and I can check and tell that the video that isn't playing is already on the freaking machine. Not good google.

[@macnutz4206]

It is most interesting that the savanna explanation for bipedalism is no longer the accepted theory. It does twist the brain a click or two.

[@phorrheel5289]

i can't understand him completely but the skulls he shows at 12 minutes are great ape skulls not humans.

[@HotPinkst17]

Humans are a type of great ape.

The French archaeologist looks like actor Morgan Sheppard.

[@santiagoperman3804]

He may not have the greatest English in the world, but it is ok to make and effort to understand him as we do with English speakers. That sayed, he is a bit arrogant when talking English or French, but that's fune.

[@Melissa-tz9hv]

Who smacks on gum while they give a speech

[@elzevierjaviergarcia890]

Vinny Taranova is from Tarascotia. Lol !

[@slavicastevin1]

Interesting subject and very educational.... So annoying for an old man and a scientist to chew a chewing gum whilst talking.... Child like behavior 😂😂😂 An accent doesn't matter, not everyone in the world should speak English perfectly or at all.

[@petecarroll5397]

Tell Mark Zukerberg He wants his Haircut Back

[@Freezencrash]

Why try so hard to prove a theory that cannot be proven as fact ? Are they showing off for their sponsors ? Interesting stuff but way too condensed with too many variations on a theme.

[@kyrrekausrud5960]

+Freezencrash It is called debate and discussion. But in a way they are "showing off for their sponsors" -US. They are debating and discussion in front of students and coleagues so they can learn and be inspired to improving their research. That's what researchers are supposed to do -teach other people what we do.

[@Freezencrash]

Kyrre Kausrud I agree that is what they are supposed to do but they only use 'established data' and restrict anything that doesn't fit nicely into the 'accepted paradigm'. Richard Cremo called it the knowledge filter. We call it Academia. The Smithsonian is a good example.

[@kyrrekausrud5960]

Freezencrash And if they didn't present established data you'd accuse them of spreading unsubstantiated unproven speculations. Is there a way they could win?

[@zuutlmna]

KZbin seems to be full of desperate egos. Sometimes very egoistic people can be a hoot. So in my opinion, there's different qualities of egoism. It's all part of the great mix.

[@Freezencrash]

Carl Lelandt KZbin used to be the bomb.....until it was bombed by Google. Now whole pages are all the same videos with different titles. I call it 'clicking for cash'............. !

[@4305051]

The French guy is the most self-impressed academic I have ever seen. Oh the ego....

+Colin Flannery go away then ya dope. no idea who he is, do ya? ya ignorant american.

[@snappa79]

Ego is the only proper word. I agree

[@andrewkohler8670]

Oh the ego... of the nescient sitting in the basement criticizing an extremely important and groundbreaking scholar and gifted intellect - who, despite enormous criticism and blatant obstructive actions by "the establishment" - the "renowned" archaeologist/anthropologists of the time - rebelled against their narrow perspectives and antiquated beliefs and almost single-handedly established non-Ethiopian African paleoanthropology. In light of the mountains of discrimination, inequity and injustice he endured early in his (stellar) career I think the few humorous remarks.he made referencing that (hopefully/thankfully) bygone era of lingering colonialism/eurocentrism.

[@andrewkohler8670]

One more thing - what all of you egocentrist are labelling "ego" is called "humor" in France. Duh.

[@robertaldrich8337]

Clone these Hominids and ask them if they are the ancestors of modern humans. lol

[@kurtisengle6256]

I don't have time to listen to this guy.

[@majidhabar2104]

Fake

[@stephenschoenleber6331]

The first speaker is one of the most boring lecturers I have ever experienced. Also he's making leaps in logic that don't follow what he's found.

[@grzlbr]

Oops, out of Eurasia !

[@grzlbr]

MadCity Jackoff, really, says you? There are ancestors of all of those going back millions of years in Europe & Asia. The oldest hominid is now out of Greece or even Bulgaria. Please explain your recent find, and how old is it,Mr Doosh ?

[@ReetVeter2000]

Omg....Charles Brunet, normally i don't have a problem with accents but this is too much. Shame....old educated guy never took the time to study English well enough to communicate his expertise with the rest of the world.
