Is it possible that the African stock also, had no need to develop any further beyond their environment. They were perfectly suited to the areas they inhabited. Those that left were fraught with continual change, climate, food, shelter kicked off an ability for abstract thought, control of fire brings cooking, light, and greater security which enabled more free time to develop deeper abstract thought and ideas. Art, trade and invention etc over an immense amount of time. But, here's the rub. Our use of modern technology and advanced progress has made us exceedingly intelligent and vicious. So my question is, who really has the better deal? We Europeans have the power to crack this planet in two. Or destroy all life. Not so the African.

Being that Europe was and still is the most barren continent concerning natural resources and fertility, the inhabitants became very competitive for survival. They fought, ravaged, pillaged, and raided each other. So they became wonderers. Always trying to discover greener pastors from where they came. They took that barbaric type lifestyle into the rest of the world and are the same way to this day. They suffer badly from a psychological state of fear of survival. It manifest itself in there relations with other populations of the world.
It always amuses me when Australian Aborigines remind us that they have the 'oldest living culture' with something like 50,000 years of history. It's said as though it's something to be respected and revered. In my mind, the word 'culture' represents development and growth. You would think James Cook would have been faced with hover cars!
Imagine that!! They collect him in hover cars covered in dot patterns, every driver wearing a hat with corks-on-strings hanging off the rim, and then welcome him to their steel and glass city with ranks of men playing didgeridoos, for a banquet of wriggling witchetty grubs.
I live in Australia, although I’m English, and always will be, Australia is my home and I love it. Unfortunately, the indigenous people here have not seemed to move on. Whilst I can’t condone what happened to their children by us Brits, I’m fairly certain that this country is what it is because of the British. If we hadn’t come…..Australia would still not have a building, a wheel, or anything remotely close to civilisation as we know it. I think Australia is a most beautiful country. The wildlife is stunning, and the people friendly. But, it is what it is because us Europeans made it what it is.

@Ricardo Leonardo It's definitely critical for intellectual results. Certain populations being isolated and other geographical limitations certainly would affect outcomes. They could impact intellectual potential, but that's not clear.
Intelligence is pattern recognition. Observing what has happened and using that to estimate what will happen is seeing the future. The cold winter is the ultimate pattern recognition test as in order to survive one needs to see the future where they starve or die of cold if they don't take the proper measures to prevent this future. A place like Africa could be overall harsher than Europe, but the conditions are seemingly constant and one doesn't have to see too far in the future to adapt to constant environment.

As a former seedsman I recognise the beneficial effects of hybridisation, mainly hybrid vigour. This is why you see seed packets marked "F1 hybrid" on the racks - and they usually more expensive than the pure cultivars. We are all hybrids of some sort, but human mothers have a habit of rejecting a large proportion of the embryos at an early stage - natural selection is practised most savagely in the womb. Only the best get through. I suspect that the Neanderthals were more intelligent than the Homo Sapiens, and it has been worth picking up the associated diseases and weaknesses they had in order to get some of the intelligence their genes carry. If you want supporting evidence, google maps of neanderthal settlement and compare them to maps of IQ by nation. The correlation is clear, but you may cause a sh*tstorm from the wokies.
I was recently in the UK and stood in awe of a massive cathedral with the most amazing flying buttresses that have been there since the 14th century. Compare that to anything that came out of Africa which could only manage mud huts. Also visiting the Louvre in Paris and seeing the most fantastic paintings and sculptures, hundreds of years old. Compared to African art that is, to say the least, crude and childlike. You're dead right Simon.
Excellent video. I recently ran across several videos by anthropologist, Robert Sepehr who, for many years was one of a very few who believed Europeans did not originate in Africa. (Thus he was highly criticised and ostracised) With the recent improvement of DNA analysis, some of his colleagues are agreeing with him. This will shatter the "we all started in Africa" currently taught and will be much to the dismay of those who have touted it in racial claims, etc.
Last I heard, the OOA (out of Africa) has been accepted as dropped. Only a few cling to it, sometimes out of bias towards racial pride (as explained by those who cling to OOA, not putting words in their mouths).
Excellent video! I have been interested in the stone age since my youth and later excavated stone age tools myself. I found a spot about 100 miles north of the Neanderthal Valley in Germany and found many tools from different time periods. The oldest one is half of a flint tool and was dated to 120.000BC approx. and was probably made by the Heidelbergensis Humans who lived in Germany before the Neanderthals.

@@sunnyjim1355 How about doing a simple Google on the emergence of out of Africa population groups? Do I have to hold your hand? To put it simply the founder effect is the biggest contributer in the genetic deviation of afrcian populations and non africans or groups that emerged after out of Africa migration. Neanderthal inter breeding was very limited and had very small contribution to modern out of Africa population. Neanderthal intelligence even with their bigger brain were not as intelligent as homo sapient that left Africa.

Would it be more accurate to say that the ingenious early Middle Easterners are more properly to the north of Arabia, and are (were) Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, and Persians?
The Caucasians grew around the Caucasus mountains and then spread to europe and Asia. Sumeria, akkad, babylon , indus, Persia etc were way ahead. Then it stagnated with islam. Europe applied all the knowledge over the last 1000 years.
Just over a half a century old, this was what we were taught in school. The answer to why early art looks so primitive, was brain evolution that created proper perspective hadn't occurred.
European growth in creative intelligence would have been a product of survival, a necessity to continue genetic lineages rather than a result of conscious choice. Peoples and inhabitants of other places never faced the same risks, thus making creativity redundant.
Absolutely correct and logical. Anyone who disagrees is either jealous or ideologically indoctrinated with fabricated revisionist history that re-imagines their ancestry. We must bring history and critical *thinking* skills back to schools.
Really interesting topic Simon. I've been wondering about this for ages and put it down to the adventuring spirit of those who decided to leave and explore. I didn't realise there were also deep rooted, fundamental genetic differences too.
There's javelins from a few hundred thousand years ago probably made by Erectus found in peat preserving the wood which would have disintrigated otherwise and those javelins are perfectly made with the sharp point at the bottom of the tree limb.
Fascinating. But just one thing;- Could not the Lion Man be a representation of someone - a shaman or chieftain wearing a lion's head (or a representation of a lion's head) for some ritualistic purpose?
Of course it could. You would then need to question why a Shaman might do such a thing. We could conjecture that the intent was to capture some aspect of the lion to enhance the human. The question is; Why do these artefacts arise in Europe and not Africa? This supposes that Simon is right and that there aren't examples from Africa. Personally, I'm not convinced that Simon's views of Africa are entirely correct.
@@trevorhoward2254 I'm not aware of artefacts like this in Africa, but the San rock art has many similar theriomorphic examples, where half-human, half-animal figures are depicted. A lot of San art reminds me of Lascaux, Trois-Freres, Altamira, etc in Europe. David Lewis-Williams has written extensively about the palaeolithic European cave art, comparing it with the San art. Because some San people who still practised shamanism were around, Lewis-Williams obviously asked them what their art depicted. The shamans described going into what we would call trance states, where they adopted a spirit animal form. It is a really fascinating subject!
"The Asians lacked the drive for exploration and innovation..." The Austronesians built really good sailboats and sailing technology that spread throughout the Pacific and even Africa. They didn't do what the Europeans did but still.
This makes me wonder more about Africa and the possibility of overlooked inventions. One big issue is the relative higher level of diseases in Africa, mainly malaria. Aside from genetics, the environment likely plays a significant role in the rate of progression in cultural complexity that can be achieved.

As an aside, one of the traits the east asians (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese etc) possess, is total conformity and unquestioning obedience to the ruling power structure. It is almost as if a lack of inventiveness goes hand in hand with obedience.
Correct. There's a definite historical pattern that shows the bigger the state the smaller individuality (including initiative, creativity, inventiveness), and vice-versa. I'd also note that inventiveness and intelligence are not synonyms. Inventiveness requires a sort of necessity, stupidity, a stubbornness, lots of hard work. It is more intelligent to simply copy the useful inventions of others and improve them, than to invent everything from scratch.
@@vincentcausey8498 From my observation they definitely go together. Whether creativity and intelligence are the same, or individualism and creativity go together with intelligence that's a different thing though. There are many ways to fail, and only a few to succeed. Hence, the observation that East Asians score higher on average on IQ tests and excel academically while being extremely conformist and not particularly inventive makes perfect sense. This is what I make of what I see of course, I could be wrong.
I guess you've never been to China, Korea or Japan? In each of these countries there is a very long story of inventiveness in art, architecture, clothes, weapons, furniture, irrigation systems etc that were developed before they came in contact with Europe.

The Human Genome Project that was completed in the 1990s, where they mapped the entirety of the human DNA, it was revealed that the sub-Saharan Africans DNA contains 19% DNA of "unknown origin". Researchers could not find any ancient, human species that it could have come from. In addition, the project also determined that 100% of sub-Saharan Africans are RH+. 2 RH+ parents cannot conceive and give birth to RH- children. Which means that the "Out of Africa" migration theory never happened. Because if the human race had migrated out of Africa then the whole rest of the human race would also be RH+, as well as possessing this 19% DNA of unknown origin. These genetic determinations were never published outside of the initial report findings. They were never publicly spoken of.

I think there is something missing in this. The imperative of need and competition would have to play a part in driving this evolution. If you lived relatively isolated from others and if the land you occupied gave you all the things that you needed to survive, there is not much motivation to change what you have been doing for generations. If you lived in a more hostile environment you may need to devise ways of altering your environment rather than live with it. Survival may have required inventing ways of taking resources away from others. Perhaps the lack or abundance of what a people required to survive account for the need to change or remain the same.
Darwin evolution doesn't produce new species, but hybridisation does. Sub-Saharan Africans are from a Cro-Magnon and Homo Erectus hybridisation. The human races are really different human species.
@@simonruszczak5563 How can you possibly be so wrong. There is only one human race called Homo Sapiens which originated in Africa about 300 thousand years ago. World exploration out of Africa was a barrier or filter. Only the more intelligent humans ventured North into what is now Europe. This is a very complex process that explains the disparity in average IQ between sub-Saharan Africans and present Caucasians and Asians. If there were different human species, mating and reproduction would be impossible.
@@ronfroehlich4697 Mules are sterile. African/European mixed humans are not. Ligers and Tigrons are also not sterile (at least the first generation is not, I believe), but they come with many genetic issues due to the genes not matching up. Once again, not true in humans.

In addition to DNA, it is perhaps useful to consider farming vs hunting-gathering; and climate, geography and geology, among other ideas. With regard to farming and climate, if you didn't plant in the spring in the Levant and NW Europe, you died next winter. Wth regard to geography, there are more coves and bays in the UK (I read somewhere) than there is in all of Africa. This is due to glaciers carving out the landscape during their advance; and glacial melt-water eroding it during their retreat. Bays and coves made it possible for people to go to sea to fish, explore and trade, and have a protected place to come home to. With regard to geology, there could be found tin, copper, iron ore, coal and salt among other things. Over several millenia, perhaps those who exploited these natural boons became more dominant compared to those who did not. So perhaps DNA is an important part of the puzzle - maybe even the most important - but these other factors had an effect as well.
Interesting hypotheses on specifics. It is obvious though that environment plays a role. It seems to me IQ and environment may well be in a kind of synergistic loop. Edit: I should add other physical characteristics as well which then feed into it.
Interesting and useful. But. You only have to look at the comments on this channel to know its dominated by racists. Pure and simple. What's being promoted here is good old pseudo science. You are wasting your time. But so am I. Not sure what Mr Webbs motivation is....but I have a few suspicions which I will not Describe. Being an anti zionist like me means its very easy to get accused of antisemitism.
DNA and its unique combinations are certainly drivers. The cunning bit is its ability to push its host,a human if you like, into the most useful situations; the nurture bit and brain development with the environmental pressures thus associated allows humans to take up advantages.. End result is that the individual is more likely to pass on that particular sequencing of DNA. Our species thrives and dominates others. Leaders and genii emerge in small numbers. Many will never fulfill their potential but some will. H. sapiens did it better than other humanoid species under the environmental conditions of the day. Europe suited us best?
I once read that global wealth was largely determined by the existence of cold winters and deep-water ports. This is because freezing cold winters are highly effective at killing off vectors of disease and the transport of goods via water is the most cost-effective.

The Chinese invented gun powder. The first cannon used in warfare, herbs for medicinal purposes, modern building techniques as in the Great Wall of China. The Chinese were also great philosophers and also were very good war strategists and were among the first to use horses in battle. They didn't invent many machines but they were very intelligent and resourceful compared to most other races/civilizations.
The Great Wall was built with rammed earth until the middle ages. No modern techniques. Chinese architecture changed little over 2000 years. The pagoda is copy of the stupa introduced to China by Islam. Chinese philosophy is a pale shadow of Greek philosophy. Concerned mainly with ethics and governing. The Chinese were not first to use the horse in battle. Horses in battle were first developed by tribes around the black sea.
The Chinese did have differential gearing on a little 2-wheeled truck they had which when man-hauled & trundled around had a mandarin like figure on top which always pointed to the North. I remember reading about it years ago. Incidentally I was told that the reason Chicago gangsters 1920's mass-produced cars used to screech so much going around corners was because they were not supplied with differential gearing on the back axle. Is this true?
Fascinating, love him or hate him Simon always delivers food for thought. Other than paper and gunpowder I think the chinese have invented e-cigarettes.

I would like you to address the Cro-Magnon (modern fully developped white man) sudden appearance in north africa and western europe around 35000 years ago.

It is a somewhat deceptive and inaccurate title, but still, stagnant periods do exist, obviously. So I get your interest. I would be too. Personally, I think religion or perhaps certain aspects of it have something to do with it. Just look at the middle east. Golden age of Islam? Boooolshiiit. A religion/identity trying to take credit from people attempting to look past or beyond it. A similar thing in Europe during those times, I suspect. At least a partial explanation.
Gotta differ with you on the Chinese inventions bit. They also invented moveable type, which is nontrivial. My private hypothesis about the relative cultural stagnation of their empire, when it wasn't shattered by war or invasion, was that they felt they'd arrived at a system that worked and were wise enough to see that further progress had attendant pitfalls they were willing to avoid. For that reason, there was very little they were willing to import from European traders until forced by the need to defend themselves from modern external threats. That and opium, which will get in the bones of any culture once introduced. Before I get called out for being some sort of pro-Chinese shill, I'm not at all. I very much dislike the CCP in particular. But it's important to see your opponents as clearly as possible if you want to defend yourself from them. The imitation the Chinese are doing at the moment is likely due to the way communism stamps out unique thought. They're also saving a lot of resources by doing it. The Romans did the same and reverse-engineered Carthaginian warships. The US did it with all sorts of tools and texts. It's a smart move when you're up and coming.
China had gunpowder for how many thousands of years, and it took european alchemists to figure out that mixing honey and spices in to the mixture was not a good idea. The chinese had the numbers and supplies to fight off mongels, huns, any foe, really, yet never had the courage or willpower to do so. A story of a malaysian pirate tribe stalking the coast line of china, when asked by the governor what to do, the emperor simply said move inland a mile. Why would an emperor tell his vassals to surrender an entire mile of land, when they have more than enough men to fight any foe, nearly two thirds of the world lived in china at the time, so it makes little sense, yet is a good image of chinese character. Another, is the invention of the first repeating weapon, a crossbow, by the chinese. The weapon used a lever system to redraw the crossbow, albeit to a pathetic draw, such that even a weak gambeson would be more than enough to stop it from harming the person being shot. Yet the weapon was never even intended for killing by force, such as a windlass crossbow of europe. It was instead, designed as a way of intoxicating their foe with poison, in the hopes that they would die later. What group, would think that even if I can hardly hurt my foe, and may well die for my efforts, yet instead of killing them, I should just attempt to poison them, so that even when my inherently unvalued life soon end, my commander can derive some value you from me in death. What sick culture would press humans in to such demeaning service?
Their technological renaissance also ended around the time the Mongols destroyed the Song dynasty, and started a long tradition of China being ruled by hostile foreigners.
The Chinese never had vellum or parchment which was superior to paper and preferred, even after the Europeans had paper and papyrus before that. The only option for writing in China before paper were bamboo sticks, wood or silk cloth. The Chinese never invented the book, and never adopted it for centuries after it had been introduced to them. The Chinese never developed a widespread printing of written texts.
@@glennmccrae7821 Chinese crossbows would have been ineffective against European armor. Even bronze age armor. The Chinese developed most of their philosophies during the 'warring states period'. Chinese philosophy is very modest in scope and depth compared to Greek philosophy. Chinese philosophy is mainly concerned with ethics and governing. When Chinese philosophy concerns itself with nature or the world, it is little more than statements of belief. There are no Chinese philosophers in the past 2500 years on the intellectual level of hundreds produced in the West.

Having lived in China for over a decade I have a running curiosity about a culture that cannot invent but can definitely counterfeit and copy. I have wondered if it's genetic, is it socialized, its both, neither, I can't explain it or even describe it and yet -there it is. Rather, there is isn't. They don't seem to have a big space in the brain for truly novel invention. I don't just mean inventing a 'Gizmo' either but I mean when put in any situation or problem where they might 'invent a new response or new way' they seem sort of stumped and won't even think to try it. It's a strange thing, probably tied up in 'filial piety' and communism and 'saving face' and so on.
When it comes to storytelling as well these things are also true. Not in a religious sense, but in tales of the common man. Original thought, innovation, creativity, it’s in our stories as well.
Are we honestly saying that the Japanese have never invented anything? Ivermectin for one, also methamphetamine, not to mention lithium-ion batteries. And the Chinese have invented a shit load of things, not just paper and gunpowder: the compass, printing, cannons, gas lighting, the list goes on. Not recently, but that's down to a repressive totalitarian regime rather than anything to do with race. Sorry, but this hypothesis is complete bunk. If it was just down to race, then all caucasians in all places at all times would have been inventing shit constantly. That's clearly not the case, it was only when the right ideas were in the culture, such as freedom of thought and speech, that started being creative and inventive.
Africa's stable hunter-gatherer conditions (good weather, plenty of game, no need for agriculture) also led to unchanging stagnation while harsher conditions in Europe forced people to evolve and invent to survive by growing and storing food and developing more complex social systems (trade, banking, laws) and the open exchange of ideas and culture (unlike the isolationism in Asia) that supercharged progress in Europe.
This is the first time I have seen this channel relate myth as truth. While the story you tell is based on possible pasts, we have no records from this period. Had you pointed out that this was a story based on limited evidence as the wonderfully The Mammoth Hunters is an historical fiction novel by Jean M. Auel released in 1985 - its wonderfully worshipped and possible past - but it is a story - and more researched than your version. For example her hybrids are the product of rape. The fact is that humans in paradise do not have to advance - Africans had food off trees, no need for shelter an d clothing except for comfort and only other predators forcing them to evolve at all. Everywhere else on the planet is a war zone for survival - a push for improvement.
you are completely wrong. try some more education, We DO HAVE records.. these records tell us of giant migrations... it is the GENETIC RECORD ! The record in our DNA.
@@edwardharley9 While there are facts used this story such as "The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is zero or close to zero in people from African populations, and is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background." the rest is myth building. Jean M. Auel assumed the same fact s (at the time she did her work it was speculatiion, she happened to be right) and makes the same inductive fiction done in this video essay. For example: WE do know how the breeding took place - its a guess it was rape or other. We do not know what effect it had on migration, there is no records of that. Basic science - correlation is not causation. Auel argues that racial memory RNA was added into the mix. It could be true but is speculation. Contrast this to Diamond explaination for the same European expansion, which is well documented and has not DNA compentent - admitidly one could alter his arugment a little why saying Germ resistance was improved in the hyrids and it played a factor, but the factor appears close to insignificant - thought its possible it was a least a minor player in this thesis. See: Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (previously titled Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years The fact is that the research has not been done for this particuarl tale, so it is just a talke, not much different than specualing that human kind was seeded from other plants - except there far more research in that thesis and so far far more evidence for it as well. This aricle covers that theory and 6 others. www.livescience.com/13363-7-theories-origin-life.html Again my main concern is that a speculative hypothesis is told as fact, as opposed to one theory based on these facts is. Or saying "here is the unproven and disputed theory as it currently understood" No such cavet was made.
That must be why thousands of Africans starve to death every year. Even in the late '60s when cannibalism was pretty common place. The Communists destroyed China's gene pool by killing off dissenters (Thinkers). It set them back a hundred years compared to European industrialized nations. And then there is war. Instead of sending out the 4-F people to be slaughtered, they send the fittest and brightest. War destroys and breaks up large areas of specific gene pools. Cities with a lot of machinists are that way because people used to marry in their own class and many of the children retained the skill genes. I have watched "Scientists" try to make chimpanzees human since the '50s. What they got was an animal to mimic humans. They have little ability to learn on their own. If dogs had hands, I suspect they would soon pass chimps in ability. Dogs also practice hybridization and it shows.
Although I broadly agree with your thesis, I think you belittle the achievements of the Chinese and Indians. After all, the Chinese and Indians were civilised and composing works of philosophy while Athens and Rome were only a collection of mud huts and our ancestors in Northern Europe were savage heathens.
Didn’t I read somewhere that there have been some recent archeological findings in China of a similar Neanderthal hominid that interbred with the resident Asian races, hence causing a similar, and parallel effect as the one we see in Europe? It was only in Africa and Australia that the Neanderthal gene failed to penetrate……with obvious effects!
@@williamread5652 Denisovans, yes, except Denisovans and Neanderthals aren't the same, so unless you're suggesting these two different hominid species just so happened to have the exact same gene.. it seems more likely to me the attribution of intellect to neanderthal genes is a red herring.
Indian and Chinese philosophy pales in comparison to Greek philosophy. There are no Chinese or Indian equivalents to Aristotle, Plato, Axiamander, Epicurus, etc. They never existed. Not even close.
the level of ignorance in so many of the posts is astounding. Indians, from he Indian sub continent... ARE CAUCASIANS.. not aware of that? Try studying some Anthropology. Simon obviously has.
I am somewhat sceptical about this hypothesis about the results of the hybridisation of Homo sapiens and neanderthalensis. There is no doubt that the hybridisation produced many significant genetic (and phenotypical) differences but according to the Max Planck Institute the parts of the Neanderthal genome which were retained (by natural selection) in modern humans are not those parts known to be involved in brain development. There have been at least two thousand generations since Homo sapiens first migrated to the Lavant, more than sufficient time for the effects of selection due to different environments to produce significant differences in populations. I don't reject the hypothesis, but as far as I understand, the scientific evidence does not back it up.
The declining birth rates among indigenous Europeans is a worrying trend.
Hungary has it right on that one.
Agreed, its almost as alarming as AIDS rates in Africa .
What is causing low birth rates?
Merely patterns of civilization. Once all the non-birthing couples disappear, only the ones who reproduce will be left. Cities should burn for all I care. The conservative country folk will triumph in the end.

Is it possible that the African stock also, had no need to develop any further beyond their environment. They were perfectly suited to the areas they inhabited. Those that left were fraught with continual change, climate, food, shelter kicked off an ability for abstract thought, control of fire brings cooking, light, and greater security which enabled more free time to develop deeper abstract thought and ideas. Art, trade and invention etc over an immense amount of time. But, here's the rub. Our use of modern technology and advanced progress has made us exceedingly intelligent and vicious. So my question is, who really has the better deal? We Europeans have the power to crack this planet in two. Or destroy all life. Not so the African.

Being that Europe was and still is the most barren continent concerning natural resources and fertility, the inhabitants became very competitive for survival. They fought, ravaged, pillaged, and raided each other. So they became wonderers. Always trying to discover greener pastors from where they came. They took that barbaric type lifestyle into the rest of the world and are the same way to this day. They suffer badly from a psychological state of fear of survival.

@Ricardo Leonardo It's definitely critical for intellectual results. Certain populations being isolated and other geographical limitations certainly would affect outcomes. They could impact intellectual potential, but that's not clear.
Intelligence is pattern recognition. Observing what has happened and using that to estimate what will happen is seeing the future. The cold winter is the ultimate pattern recognition test as in order to survive one needs to see the future where they starve or die of cold if they don't take the proper measures to prevent this future.
A place like Africa could be overall harsher than Europe, but the conditions are seemingly constant and one doesn't have to see too far in the future to adapt to constant environment.
Yes, and preparing for winter involves delayed gratification.
Necessity is the mother of invention and the necessities were different in these places, hence the difference in inventiveness, or lack thereof.

As a former seedsman I recognise the beneficial effects of hybridisation, mainly hybrid vigour. This is why you see seed packets marked "F1 hybrid" on the racks - and they usually more expensive than the pure cultivars. We are all hybrids of some sort, but human mothers have a habit of rejecting a large proportion of the embryos at an early stage - natural selection is practised most savagely in the womb. Only the best get through.
I suspect that the Neanderthals were more intelligent than the Homo Sapiens, and it has been worth picking up the associated diseases and weaknesses they had in order to get some of the intelligence their genes carry.
If you want supporting evidence, google maps of neanderthal settlement and compare them to maps of IQ by nation. The correlation is clear, but you may cause a sh*tstorm from the wokies.

I was recently in the UK and stood in awe of a massive cathedral with the most amazing flying buttresses that have been there since the 14th century. Compare that to anything that came out of Africa which could only manage mud huts. Also visiting the Louvre in Paris and seeing the most fantastic paintings and sculptures, hundreds of years old. Compared to African art that is, to say the least, crude and childlike. You're dead right Simon.
Excellent video. I recently ran across several videos by anthropologist, Robert Sepehr who, for many years was one of a very few who believed Europeans did not originate in Africa. (Thus he was highly criticised and ostracised) With the recent improvement of DNA analysis, some of his colleagues are agreeing with him. This will shatter the "we all started in Africa" currently taught and will be much to the dismay of those who have touted it in racial claims, etc.
Last I heard, the OOA (out of Africa) has been accepted as dropped. Only a few cling to it, sometimes out of bias towards racial pride (as explained by those who cling to OOA, not putting words in their mouths).
Excellent video! I have been interested in the stone age since my youth and later excavated stone age tools myself. I found a spot about 100 miles north of the Neanderthal Valley in Germany and found many tools from different time periods. The oldest one is half of a flint tool and was dated to 120.000BC approx. and was probably made by the Heidelbergensis Humans who lived in Germany before the Neanderthals.

As an aside, one of the traits the east asians (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese etc) possess, is total conformity and unquestioning obedience to the ruling power structure. It is almost as if a lack of inventiveness goes hand in hand with obedience.
Correct. There's a definite historical pattern that shows the bigger the state the smaller individuality (including initiative, creativity, inventiveness), and vice-versa.
I'd also note that inventiveness and intelligence are not synonyms. Inventiveness requires a sort of necessity, stupidity, a stubbornness, lots of hard work. It is more intelligent to simply copy the useful inventions of others and improve them, than to invent everything from scratch.

Fascinating summary. Explains a lot!
The Human Genome Project that was completed in the 1990s, where they mapped the entirety of the human DNA, it was revealed that the sub-Saharan Africans DNA contains 19% DNA of "unknown origin". Researchers could not find any ancient, human species that it could have come from.
In addition, the project also determined that 100% of sub-Saharan Africans are RH+. 2 RH+ parents cannot conceive and give birth to RH- children.
Which means that the "Out of Africa" migration theory never happened. Because if the human race had migrated out of Africa then the whole rest of the human race would also be RH+, as well as possessing this 19% DNA of unknown origin.
These genetic determinations were never published outside of the initial report findings. They were never publicly spoken of.

If you lived in a more hostile environment you may need to devise ways of altering your environment rather than live with it. Survival may have required inventing ways of taking resources away from others.
Perhaps the lack or abundance of what a people required to survive account for the need to change or remain the same.
Darwin evolution doesn't produce new species, but hybridisation does.
Sub-Saharan Africans are from a Cro-Magnon and Homo Erectus hybridisation.
The human races are really different human species.
@@simonruszczak5563 How can you possibly be so wrong. There is only one human race called Homo Sapiens which originated in Africa about 300 thousand years ago. World exploration out of Africa was a barrier or filter. Only the more intelligent humans ventured North into what is now Europe. This is a very complex process that explains the disparity in average IQ between sub-Saharan Africans and present Caucasians and Asians. If there were different human species, mating and reproduction would be impossible.

Mules are sterile. African/European mixed humans are not.
Ligers and Tigrons are also not sterile (at least the first generation is not, I believe), but they come with many genetic issues due to the genes not matching up. Once again, not true in humans.

In addition to DNA, it is perhaps useful to consider farming vs hunting-gathering; and climate, geography and geology, among other ideas. With regard to farming and climate, if you didn't plant in the spring in the Levant and NW Europe, you died next winter. Wth regard to geography, there are more coves and bays in the UK (I read somewhere) than there is in all of Africa. This is due to glaciers carving out the landscape during their advance; and glacial melt-water eroding it during their retreat. Bays and coves made it possible for people to go to sea to fish, explore and trade, and have a protected place to come home to. With regard to geology, there could be found tin, copper, iron ore, coal and salt among other things. Over several millenia, perhaps those who exploited these natural boons became more dominant compared to those who did not. So perhaps DNA is an important part of the puzzle - maybe even the most important - but these other factors had an effect as well.
Interesting hypotheses on specifics. It is obvious though that environment plays a role. It seems to me IQ and environment may well be in a kind of synergistic loop.
Edit: I should add other physical characteristics as well which then feed into it.
Interesting and useful. But. You only have to look at the comments on this channel to know its dominated by racists. Pure and simple. What's being promoted here is good old pseudo science. You are wasting your time. But so am I. Not sure what Mr Webbs motivation is....but I have a few suspicions which I will not
Describe. Being an anti zionist like me means its very easy to get accused of antisemitism.
DNA and its unique combinations are certainly drivers. The cunning bit is its ability to push its host,a human if you like, into the most useful situations; the nurture bit and brain development with the environmental pressures thus associated allows humans to take up advantages.. End result is that the individual is more likely to pass on that particular sequencing of DNA. Our species thrives and dominates others. Leaders and genii emerge in small numbers. Many will never fulfill their potential but some will. H. sapiens did it better than other humanoid species under the environmental conditions of the day. Europe suited us best?
I once read that global wealth was largely determined by the existence of cold winters and deep-water ports. This is because freezing cold winters are highly effective at killing off vectors of disease and the transport of goods via water is the most cost-effective.

Brilliant, incisive, informative, factual. I love this channel
I think you are selling the Cinese a bit short. In addition to what you say there is printing, the wheel, magnetic compass, ceramics and the junk rig sail. Love your work though.
The Chinese invented gun powder. The first cannon used in warfare, herbs for medicinal purposes, modern building techniques as in the Great Wall of China. The Chinese were also great philosophers and also were very good war strategists and were among the first to use horses in battle. They didn't invent many machines but they were very intelligent and resourceful compared to most other races/civilizations.
The Great Wall was built with rammed earth until the middle ages. No modern techniques. Chinese architecture changed little over 2000 years. The pagoda is copy of the stupa introduced to China by Islam. Chinese philosophy is a pale shadow of Greek philosophy. Concerned mainly with ethics and governing. The Chinese were not first to use the horse in battle. Horses in battle were first developed by tribes around the black sea.
The Chinese did have differential gearing on a little 2-wheeled truck they had which when man-hauled & trundled around had a mandarin like figure on top which always pointed to the North. I remember reading about it years ago.
Incidentally I was told that the reason Chicago gangsters 1920's mass-produced cars used to screech so much going around corners was because they were not supplied with differential gearing on the back axle.
Is this true?
Fascinating, love him or hate him Simon always delivers food for thought. Other than paper and gunpowder I think the chinese have invented e-cigarettes.
Excellent! Just want to add Lascaux painting -20000 years in France (Dordogne). I just visited the caves were the painting are, and it's even more impressive then the pictures because there are perspective effects that were introduced in the making of the painting on purpose. Incredible.

🤦♀️ According to German philologists Otto Schrader and Alfons A.

Simon, can you please make a video on Europe's Dark Ages please.
It is a somewhat deceptive and inaccurate title, but still, stagnant periods do exist, obviously. So I get your interest. I would be too. Personally, I think religion or perhaps certain aspects of it have something to do with it. Just look at the middle east. Golden age of Islam? Boooolshiiit. A religion/identity trying to take credit from people attempting to look past or beyond it. A similar thing in Europe during those times, I suspect. At least a partial explanation.

I have often asked, where are the great composers or artists from the African continent? Where are the great scientists and inventors?

With Europeans, the key is, as Einstein said, " imagination".
Gotta differ with you on the Chinese inventions bit. They also invented moveable type, which is nontrivial. My private hypothesis about the relative cultural stagnation of their empire, when it wasn't shattered by war or invasion, was that they felt they'd arrived at a system that worked and were wise enough to see that further progress had attendant pitfalls they were willing to avoid. For that reason, there was very little they were willing to import from European traders until forced by the need to defend themselves from modern external threats. That and opium, which will get in the bones of any culture once introduced.
Before I get called out for being some sort of pro-Chinese shill, I'm not at all. I very much dislike the CCP in particular. But it's important to see your opponents as clearly as possible if you want to defend yourself from them. The imitation the Chinese are doing at the moment is likely due to the way communism stamps out unique thought. They're also saving a lot of resources by doing it. The Romans did the same and reverse-engineered Carthaginian warships. The US did it with all sorts of tools and texts. It's a smart move when you're up and coming.
China had gunpowder for how many thousands of years, and it took european alchemists to figure out that mixing honey and spices in to the mixture was not a good idea. The chinese had the numbers and supplies to fight off mongels, huns, any foe, really, yet never had the courage or willpower to do so. A story of a malaysian pirate tribe stalking the coast line of china, when asked by the governor what to do, the emperor simply said move inland a mile. Why would an emperor tell his vassals to surrender an entire mile of land, when they have more than enough men to fight any foe, nearly two thirds of the world lived in china at the time, so it makes little sense, yet is a good image of chinese character. Another, is the invention of the first repeating weapon, a crossbow, by the chinese. The weapon used a lever system to redraw the crossbow, albeit to a pathetic draw, such that even a weak gambeson would be more than enough to stop it from harming the person being shot. Yet the weapon was never even intended for killing by force, such as a windlass crossbow of europe. It was instead, designed as a way of intoxicating their foe with poison, in the hopes that they would die later. What group, would think that even if I can hardly hurt my foe, and may well die for my efforts, yet instead of killing them, I should just attempt to poison them, so that even when my inherently unvalued life soon end, my commander can derive some value you from me in death. What sick culture would press humans in to such demeaning service?
Their technological renaissance also ended around the time the Mongols destroyed the Song dynasty, and started a long tradition of China being ruled by hostile foreigners.
The Chinese never had vellum or parchment which was superior to paper and preferred, even after the Europeans had paper and papyrus before that. The only option for writing in China before paper were bamboo sticks, wood or silk cloth. The Chinese never invented the book, and never adopted it for centuries after it had been introduced to them. The Chinese never developed a widespread printing of written texts.
@@glennmccrae7821 Chinese crossbows would have been ineffective against European armor. Even bronze age armor. The Chinese developed most of their philosophies during the 'warring states period'. Chinese philosophy is very modest in scope and depth compared to Greek philosophy. Chinese philosophy is mainly concerned with ethics and governing. When Chinese philosophy concerns itself with nature or the world, it is little more than statements of belief. There are no Chinese philosophers in the past 2500 years on the intellectual level of hundreds produced in the West.

Actually, perhaps they are purists for even this content creator subscribes to Bolshevik “subverted history” as he believes “Whites” originate in/from Africa. He is flatly wrong.
Interesting conjecture, thanks.
Fantastic video mr Webb I’m now going to the comments section to see what the experts have to say
Having lived in China for over a decade I have a running curiosity about a culture that cannot invent but can definitely counterfeit and copy. I have wondered if it's genetic, is it socialized, its both, neither, I can't explain it or even describe it and yet -there it is. Rather, there is isn't. They don't seem to have a big space in the brain for truly novel invention. I don't just mean inventing a 'Gizmo' either but I mean when put in any situation or problem where they might 'invent a new response or new way' they seem sort of stumped and won't even think to try it. It's a strange thing, probably tied up in 'filial piety' and communism and 'saving face' and so on.
When it comes to storytelling as well these things are also true. Not in a religious sense, but in tales of the common man. Original thought, innovation, creativity, it’s in our stories as well.
Are we honestly saying that the Japanese have never invented anything? Ivermectin for one, also methamphetamine, not to mention lithium-ion batteries. And the Chinese have invented a shit load of things, not just paper and gunpowder: the compass, printing, cannons, gas lighting, the list goes on. Not recently, but that's down to a repressive totalitarian regime rather than anything to do with race. Sorry, but this hypothesis is complete bunk. If it was just down to race, then all caucasians in all places at all times would have been inventing shit constantly. That's clearly not the case, it was only when the right ideas were in the culture, such as freedom of thought and speech, that started being creative and inventive.
Hey Simon, do you have a list of book recommendations?
Africa's stable hunter-gatherer conditions (good weather, plenty of game, no need for agriculture) also led to unchanging stagnation while harsher conditions in Europe forced people to evolve and invent to survive by growing and storing food and developing more complex social systems (trade, banking, laws) and the open exchange of ideas and culture (unlike the isolationism in Asia) that supercharged progress in Europe.
This is the first time I have seen this channel relate myth as truth. While the story you tell is based on possible pasts, we have no records from this period. Had you pointed out that this was a story based on limited evidence as the wonderfully The Mammoth Hunters is an historical fiction novel by Jean M. Auel released in 1985 - its wonderfully worshipped and possible past - but it is a story - and more researched than your version. For example her hybrids are the product of rape.
The fact is that humans in paradise do not have to advance - Africans had food off trees, no need for shelter an d clothing except for comfort and only other predators forcing them to evolve at all. Everywhere else on the planet is a war zone for survival - a push for improvement.
you are completely wrong. try some more education, We DO HAVE records.. these records tell us of giant migrations... it is the GENETIC RECORD ! The record in our DNA.
@@edwardharley9
While there are facts used this story such as "The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is zero or close to zero in people from African populations, and is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background."
the rest is myth building. Jean M. Auel assumed the same fact s (at the time she did her work it was speculatiion, she happened to be right) and makes the same inductive fiction done in this video essay.
For example: WE do know how the breeding took place - its a guess it was rape or other. We do not know what effect it had on migration, there is no records of that. Basic science - correlation is not causation.
Auel argues that racial memory RNA was added into the mix. It could be true but is speculation.
Contrast this to Diamond explaination for the same European expansion, which is well documented and has not DNA compentent - admitidly one could alter his arugment a little why saying Germ resistance was improved in the hyrids and it played a factor, but the factor appears close to insignificant - thought its possible it was a least a minor player in this thesis.
See:
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (previously titled Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years
The fact is that the research has not been done for this particuarl tale, so it is just a talke, not much different than specualing that human kind was seeded from other plants - except there far more research in that thesis and so far far more evidence for it as well. This aricle covers that theory and 6 others.
www.livescience.com/13363-7-theories-origin-life.html
Again my main concern is that a speculative hypothesis is told as fact, as opposed to one theory based on these facts is. Or saying "here is the unproven and disputed theory as it currently understood"
No such cavet was made.
That must be why thousands of Africans starve to death every year. Even in the late '60s when cannibalism was pretty common place. The Communists destroyed China's gene pool by killing off dissenters (Thinkers). It set them back a hundred years compared to European industrialized nations. And then there is war. Instead of sending out the 4-F people to be slaughtered, they send the fittest and brightest. War destroys and breaks up large areas of specific gene pools. Cities with a lot of machinists are that way because people used to marry in their own class and many of the children retained the skill genes. I have watched "Scientists" try to make chimpanzees human since the '50s. What they got was an animal to mimic humans. They have little ability to learn on their own. If dogs had hands, I suspect they would soon pass chimps in ability. Dogs also practice hybridization and it shows.
The best warriors, physically and strategically,sow their seed in the enemy camp.
I don't know how many inferences we can draw from the degree of relative archaic intermixture, but it's certainly an interesting hypothesis.
I really enjoy your channel.
Although I broadly agree with your thesis, I think you belittle the achievements of the Chinese and Indians. After all, the Chinese and Indians were civilised and composing works of philosophy while Athens and Rome were only a collection of mud huts and our ancestors in Northern Europe were savage heathens.
Didn’t I read somewhere that there have been some recent archeological findings in China of a similar Neanderthal hominid that interbred with the resident Asian races, hence causing a similar, and parallel effect as the one we see in Europe? It was only in Africa and Australia that the Neanderthal gene failed to penetrate……with obvious effects!
@@williamread5652 denisovians
@@williamread5652 Denisovans, yes, except Denisovans and Neanderthals aren't the same, so unless you're suggesting these two different hominid species just so happened to have the exact same gene.. it seems more likely to me the attribution of intellect to neanderthal genes is a red herring.
Indian and Chinese philosophy pales in comparison to Greek philosophy. There are no Chinese or Indian equivalents to Aristotle, Plato, Axiamander, Epicurus, etc. They never existed. Not even close.
the level of ignorance in so many of the posts is astounding. Indians, from he Indian sub
continent... ARE CAUCASIANS.. not aware of that? Try studying some Anthropology.
Simon obviously has.
I am somewhat sceptical about this hypothesis about the results of the hybridisation of Homo sapiens and neanderthalensis. There is no doubt that the hybridisation produced many significant genetic (and phenotypical) differences but according to the Max Planck Institute the parts of the Neanderthal genome which were retained (by natural selection) in modern humans are not those parts known to be involved in brain development. There have been at least two thousand generations since Homo sapiens first migrated to the Lavant, more than sufficient time for the effects of selection due to different environments to produce significant differences in populations. I don't reject the hypothesis, but as far as I understand, the scientific evidence does not back it up.
That's never stopped Simon thus far
It does seem like fairytale “science.” Never heard this hypothesis before. A few references to back up the assertions would be appropriate.
