How do you know women neanderthals where involved in hunts and to question why a man was narrating these videos especially pointing out he was an old white dud with a explorers hat and a beard then mention why women weren’t put into the videos then say many many many women could have been mentioned in these videos.he also said the average human could be a 24 year old Chinese woman, think this anthropologist has anti white western man syndrome, girl power !
@historianKelly
September 4, 2026 at 7:27 pm
Because *the archeological evidence shows it.*
That’s how we know.
We have physical proof of it. We have proof of all the assertions he’s making.
Also, *demographic numbers of who lives on our planet* is where he gets the idea that the average human is a 24yo Asian woman. That’s a *statistically accurate* idea, _NOT_ bigotry.

I would push back on the thing about the rock. We still do that now. Pick them up and look at them, throw them, and tap them together when we’re bored and it’s the only thing to do. Skipping stones is a good example of us looking at different rocks trying to see which ones are the best. If you hit one flint rock with another it can break and show a possible use and you can refine that. or even thinking that a stick is a good stick.
@MarioPetrinovich
September 4, 2026 at 7:05 pm
It definitely didn’t go that way, no matter if all the science claims it. First you got to have a purpose, then you can do that. In stone tools the main thing is sharp edge. I would say that about the sharpest thing in nature is broken shellfish. Also, animal without carnassials cannot eat terrestrial meat raw. The only meat that a primate can eat raw is shellfish (there is crab-eating macaque). So, put those two together and you will understand how we started to use sharp edges, and where.

If a stranger I didn’t share a language with came up to me, crouched down, gestured their arm up and down, then crossed their arms, I would have no idea what they’re trying to communicate. Are they gesturing at my leg? Do they want me to crouch with them? Do they want me to move so they can look at the ground I’m standing on? I would feel as confused as the fake dude on her right looks.

16:48,
H neanderthalensis was remarkably distinct and dissimilar to H sapiens, not all or any of the archaic hominins identical to H sapiens.
H neanderthalensis had different brain morphology and endocrine and hormonal profiles. They retained the basal ape like bell shaped conical rib cage and even their shoulder, elbow, wrist and thumb morphology was different as well as lower leg, ankle and heel bone morphology.
Even their ear bones and sinus were different.
Why do these certain experts always conflate and distort the details and attempt avoid or ignore those cogent and significant aspects? It’s shoddy forensics and dumbfounded ‘sloppy’ fairy tale narratives with a artificial additive sweeteners and moral theme that isn’t good science.

when ever people talk about the paleo diet my head hurts. there was no one paleo diet. what you ate depended completely on where you lived. there were people that rarely ate meat because there was so much vegetation for them and its much easier and safer to gather food then to hunt or fish, then there were places where people ate a ton of meat particularly places that were in cold environments that had little edible vegetation. they had to rely much more on hunting and fishing.

I find it weird to suggest that a human of 100.000 years, or 500.000 years ago (counting all hominids here) could not have placed their hair in a neat bun. Of course they could have. Do we know that they didn’t?

Even when people intellectual know that an AI depiction might not be accurate
we’re more likely to accept it into our sense of reality because it LOOKED realistic to our eyes.
We evolved to believe what we see.
And if you ask someone where we initially got our background info about something, most of the time we can’t remember if it was a museum or a movie or synthetic images spread online.
A lot of the time we even mix up memories with things we imagined.
So, I do my best to fact check things again before sharing, or when they become important.
But it also would help if people would be more responsible to not spread misinformation in the first place.

Neanderthal not being able to shave with any tool? Been playing and cutting myself on flint when I was young flint can be extremely sharp. And Neanderthal did use flint right? So I do think the possible cutting of beards is absolutely in the realms possibilities… Did they have one to cut? No clue but they could cut it definitely…

Please keep up these kinds of videos!! AI is *NOT* a reliable source of history, or much else, in my opinion. The fact that there are millions of views is distressing to me, and that it will be believed verbatim. Logic and critical thinking is your friend.

Not sure what you’re talking about. He’s just pointing out skin color inconsistencies. AI training data likely has a skew in sample sizes and tends to misapply skin color and gender. Taking a modern political lens to the study of the human species is shortsighted. Nothing he said on that was factually incorrect.

Most AI videos are NOT created by professionals. People posting these videos have zero clue what they are talking about and are too lazy to do proper research and don’t care about inconsistencies and realism. All they care is that it’s believable enough to fool the average person and get easy money. 🙄

“C’mon we have the bones, we have the teeth. We can do better.” AI can’t. An artist has to paint it before AI can steal it. AI cannot come up with an image humans have never created. It can only regurgitate and mash up art a real human has created

I’m really surprised at the assumption that prehistoric people didn’t groom – it was mentioned with the woman’s hair knotted, and a neanthertal’s beard… Is that really the anthropologic consensus? “They didn’t have tools”, like, what kind of tools do you really need? I’d assume a thin stick and patience is enough, and we know later prehistoric people cared about their appearance, because we find beads, combs, etc… Even monkeys groom. Is it really reasonable to assume neanderthals et al were all messy and unkempt?
