Paleoanthropologist Answers Caveman Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED
Paleoanthropologist Dr. Steven E. Churchill answers your questions about cavemen and early human evolution from Twitter. What happened to the Neanderthals? Is there a chance Big Foot is real?

So, I’m @roxynotlalonde, and a friend linked me this video! It’s a great response to my question, but also fundamentally not what I was asking about! I was responding to someone asking why so many ancient cultures shared flood myths, and my response was sarcastically fishing for “places prone to flooding”! Still, I’m very happy my sarcasm has been used for educational purposes.
@jonasg.bisgaard1086
April 12, 2024 at 4:24 pm
But that’s literally the answer, the reason why there’s so many places the mage myth about foods is because most civilizations where built on march lands near river, and areas that where generally prone to flooding, leading them to depict that in their mythology.
@oliviaconstanzewoodward-wh7361
April 12, 2024 at 8:26 pm
@@jonasg.bisgaard1086the post i was responding doesn’t say that, it just says “flood myths are just myths” in quotations, as if to imply that the mythologies all relate to one singular historical great flood. hence the sarcastic tone of my response.

This guy is an idiot like most Leftist “academics”.

Then again clowns like this also said the Covid vaccine prevented transmission and that polar bears would be extinct by 2020.
Leftists are always proven wrong. 😂

Neanderthals did not compete with grizzly bears, grizzly bears are only found in North America.
The “sabre toothed cat” you depicted was Thylacosmilus, which was not a cat and also did not coexist with Neanderthals.

Actually! Another cool anthropological perspective of the Venus figurines was that they were made by ancient women themselves for fertility and pregnancy health tracking records. A study was done comparing the figurines to women at different stages of pregnancy, and saw that the figurines matched the women’s exact body type when looking down at their own bodies. The research paper is called “Toward Decolonizing Gender: Female Vision in the Upper Paleolithic” by Catherine Hodge McCoid and Leroy D. McDermott and it’s a really cool read into seeing how the Venus figurines had a more of a functional purpose rather than just a spiritual piece of art!

The thought that Paleolithic people did not have fun is absolutely absurd. They would have absolutely had athletic competitions that revolved around hunting and fighting skills. Archery, wrestling, races, etc. They would have had religious festivals. Dances and stories around bonfires. They were humans.

Neanderthals only being able to produce one or two vowels is not a problem at all. Adyghe is a language that only has two vowels. Furthermore, you don’t need vowels to have language. They easily could have spoken a whistling language.

“How did humans survive the ice age?” … There were no humans during the ice-age. Holding up a skull proves nothing. No one, to this day, has proven otherwise, or, proven any other thing they claim regarding modern humans regarding so-called evolution. For instance, that’s why ‘they’ finally got off the “missing link” nonsense (for the most part)… _because there was none and never will be!_

Campi super volcano destroyed everything approx. 37,500 years ago- eurasia, down wind where most Neathanderals lived. They all starved within a month or less after the ash fell onto the grazing lands killing off all the hunted animals food supply. Those up wind of Campi weren’t enough to keep the population going. I’m simply amazed any humans made it this far into history.

Hm. _they just stayed put, hunkered down and dealt with it_ is not really explaining anything. I mean how did they get food when everything is frozen?
It’s not like there were seasons when they could get food and just live off it during the winter. Iceage meant them living like today on greenland but without any infrastructure. Or is my conception of ice age in europe wrong?

wait hang on – if island dwarfism is a thing, you’re saying, while completely fantastical, King Kong’s Skull Island as depicted in the 1933 and 2005 films is scientifically sound, to a degree? That, being on an isolated island, gorillas, centipedes etc grew massive because they were isolated? The inverse didn’t seem to happen, you’d think dinosaurs would then become the sizes of cows.

@netdragon256
July 5, 2024 at 9:16 am
This isn’t quite accurate on human expansion based on latest evidence – it’s only providing the “safe” answer. There’s evidence of humans reaching South America much earlier than they should have, and also 130,000 yr old tools in North America found near San Diego that likely were not cro magnon but another human subspecies. This speaker means well, but is perpetuating scientific bias and should suggest that there is controversial evidence that humans may have expanded out earlier.
