Brilliant! On a par with the best of Gresham College's free lectures. I was looking for Alice Roberts, but: like all great educators: Alice has now opened my vision to much more I can learn. Well done The Francis Crick Institute.
This lecture bridges a lot of significant finds in recent decades, and clarifies a lot of ambiguities generated by contemporary opinins, in the light of recent science. Awesome.
She abhors the very notion of nation. From her secure position in life she laughs at the poor people who live a precarious live and is understandably afraid of losing their job due to mass migration or be threatened their standards of life. Intelligent people can be some times stupid and blind.
Prof Roberts now. So so impressive and well deserved. Every time I hear you speak Im transfixed. Many thanks Prof for making everything you do accessible.
The ancient DNA evidence is now there for all to see . The Anglo Saxon migration was real , substantial and lasted several centuries . There was no genetic wipeout of the Celts , but there was a complex story of domination , cultural integration and mixing that varied from region to region.
Fantastic, I loved history at school some seventy years ago and always felt there was more sensible people related things going on wish our politicians would watch this!
The 'earings' at 18 minutes are decorative clasps, possibly for feathers or similar, but can also be made of more strudy stuff to protect fingers/knuckles from archery.
I enjoy and appreciate the work of Alice Roberts immensely, and have had the good fortune to have attended a number of her presentations over the years, and, of course, her books are included in my library. Unfortunately, I am dissapointed at the surprisingly amateur effort in putting this particular presentation on CZcams - the focus ( and main camera ) should have been on Alice surely, not have her relegated to a tiny corner -I have no idea why the Crick Institute considered this acceptable - a very strange decision to make - and a pity :(
I too am immensely impressed by Alice Roberts (and I first noticed her back in the days of her bright red hair on Time Team), but I disagree quite strongly with your complaint. This is first and foremost a lecture, not a theatrical performance, and what is is important are the words spoken and the illustrations that accompany those words. Perhaps I would have chosen to have had full screen on the speakers at the very beginning, but as far the lecture itself is concerned, I think the presentation was absolutely fit for purpose. I am fairly confident that Professor Roberts herself would not feel slighted by it, so I see no reason why we should either.
@@philroberts7238 Thank you - I appreciate your point of view, even if I disagree with it. I feel offended that you suggest I see this lecture as a theatrical performance. I have attended many a lecture over a long academic career, and the quality of the presentation, how carefully it has been considered, with whatever visual aids are used to encourage understanding and comprehension of the given material is vitally important. Consequently, I remain dissapointed in this visual presentation, which could have been greatly improved, in my view, whilst at the same time totally appreciative of the material presented by Prof. Alice Roberts.
@@MrTorleon Thank you for your courteous reply. I still disagree with you on this particular point but I do understand where you are coming from. And I confess I was deliberately being a little provocative by implying you were seeking to turn a straightforward lecture into a theatrical performance. That provocation, however unfair, did hit home though, as I thought it would! (Apologies, nevertheless, for any offence caused.)
@@philroberts7238 Thank you for your own kind and generous response - it is appreciated.With these short comments, I personally try to avoid anything too provocative, as misunderstandings can so easily be made, and I prefer to ensure that I reduce that possibility. In the past, I have attended lectures by some extraordinary knowledgeable people, experts in their particular field, who have been badly let down by poorly arranged and executed audio visual support, so I do tend to be quite particular about such shortcomings. Happily, we can still both agree I think, that Prof. Alice Roberts provides material and opinions within her own area of expertise of high value, whether presented as a lecture, a tv documentary or in the form of a book - it is always profoundly interesting and of exceptional quality :)
I have heard it posited that the Britons post-Rome suffered a devastating population decline due to that plague and many areas the Anglo-Saxons moved into had been depopulated as a consequence. So early on, not so much replacement, more like just moving in. It was also the reason for the trouble the Britons had when they did fight, just not enough men. Is this an actual posit?
@thomasschofield6633: “that’s like denying the English don’t like Ale and Cricket.” You do understand the meaning and use of the double negative, right?
That was the quickest 39 minutes of my life, it was a good idea to minimize Alice as eye candy, so we can focus on the higher things. Watson & Crick will never be favorites of the feminists after what they did to Rosalind Franklin.
It's funny the obsession of the English with waves of invaders older and older. Perhaps many of these groups of people who arrived in England in the distant past were just refugees driven by natural disasters or wars in which they did not want to participate. The displacement to a distant and eventually inaccessible place by a violent nomadic people incapable of making ships may explain rich people from the continent being buried in England. In fact, no one travels with their riches if they can enjoy them in the territory where they were born and where their culture took root and reproduced.
I See some modern revisionism going on here with some of her comments. Archaeology, dna evidence, written sources, and place names seem to conclude that a mass migration of Anglo Saxons from the continent did take place. So much so, that many in western Britain emigrated to Amorica (Brittany) and northern Spain to escape the westward English expansion. Was there a mixing of Anglos and the British Celts? Of course course there was, but more so in the west of Britain instead the east East Anglia, Essex, Wessex, and Sussex). Finally, Cambridge University is now part of the cancel culture and is denying the Anglo-Saxons even existed. That's like denying the English don't like Ale and Cricket.
😅The copper age pre dates the AngloSaxon Invasion of eastern Britain by 3000+ years. There weren’t even Angles, Saxons, Jutes or Danes til the Iron Age Thomas. You’re skipping the Celts and the Romans man! Stay focused! Cricket prolly not, but the beakers were most probably for the Mead or an early Beer, possibly an unrefrigerated bitter…
And of course violence. The usual ideas we get from archeologists are slavery, war, ritual sacrifices. Not because those are what happened, but because the theorists want to believe those are what happened. Why? Another archeological mystery.
It should be a crime to dig up burials of humans. Say your mother passed away last year; do your want someone to come along and dig up her remains in a year, just because they are trying to make a buck and are curious?
You can call me a Back Woods Redneck Science Nerd, I look like a Lapland Viking Volunteer Roman Centurion, I like Gonzo Science, I don't just like studying Gators, I Used to like to get on in there with my ears laid back and wrestle the Beast. As a young man I used to have trouble watching Ms. Roberts, please focus on the the words "Ms. Roberts" & "Me being Younger", I couldn't watch/Listen to her without something always causing a Big Bother and I'd have to watch something else, I am ethically minded, married faithfully and lovingly 42 years.

¡ Why are we deprived of the portrait of Dr Alice Roberts, the most charming archaeologist I ever saw ?!
The ancient DNA evidence is now there for all to see . The Anglo Saxon migration was real , substantial and lasted several centuries . There was no genetic wipeout of the Celts , but there was a complex story of domination , cultural integration and mixing that varied from region to region.
Certainly true, especially in the North East in my experience. If you listen carefully to Geordies, they sometimes sound Welsh.
Isn't Roberts a Welsh name ?
I haven't even started this video... I just want to say, I love this woman... deeply.
Oh my!
Then how many women have you been a slave to, with your tung hanging out? Modern men have become slaves to women.
Fantastic, I loved history at school some seventy years ago and always felt there was more sensible people related things going on wish our politicians would watch this!
Thank you! Love her work!
Very enjoyable presentation
Fantastic lecture! Thank you.
Excellent video! Thank you!
Wonderful talk👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The stones with holes in it is voor archery. Protecting the innerarm from the strings.
Probably attached on /over leader.
wonderful lecture...it would be great to have this done for all burials in the world...my guess about the step turned out right😂👍

Love Alises work.. she is so cute..I look forward to seeing her videos. ❤
I love Alice Roberts 🎉
The Kentish buckle is more evidence of how ancient people respected their heritage and made efforts to maintain a record of it.
One aspect of this find I haven't heard anything about is the implication of a common language. He was from Central Europe.
Were the knives hammered native copper or cast?
Why is it that people with loud irritating coughs go to concerts and lectures? It's so disrespectful!
Coughers for the coffers..
Can't get the video, only the sound.😢
Could the samples cause an outbreak if tampered with some how?

We do not "make ourselves" through our diets. A bizarre view.
Talking about a scholar as "eye candy" denigrates her scholarship. I'm sure you can't see that point of view. So be it.
Beard wraps.

Ancient DNA 🧬 is Extraterrestrials, we share their DNA 🧬.

Finally, Cambridge University is now part of the cancel culture and is denying the Anglo-Saxons even existed. That's like denying the English don't like Ale and Cricket.
The weird thing is Anglo Saxons were immigrants from North Europe so if they didn't come that means we are actually more pur ethnically?
😅The copper age pre dates the AngloSaxon Invasion of eastern Britain by 3000+ years. There weren’t even Angles, Saxons, Jutes or Danes til the Iron Age Thomas. You’re skipping the Celts and the Romans man! Stay focused! Cricket prolly not, but the beakers were most probably for the Mead or an early Beer, possibly an unrefrigerated bitter…
She talks about the Saxons in the video. She’s clear that there are details that are unclear. What are you on about?
Pretty sure she wrote many thorough and evidence based chapters on Anglo-Saxon Archaeology in Britain, if not more, in her books there Jeeves.
He is just a little neo-fascist who lost his way and landed with the smart people.
As soon as archeologists glimpse gold, they care about nothing else & we get another gossip about "elites".
if ancient dna exist the sciences is wrong about half life. if half life is correst then science is wrong about ancient dna? can't have it both ways.
As I understand it they don't get the entire DNA from a single sample exactly because they decay
And of course violence. The usual ideas we get from archeologists are slavery, war, ritual sacrifices. Not because those are what happened, but because the theorists want to believe those are what happened.
Why?
Another archeological mystery.

And she's a babe
Alice Roberts pushed poison, she knows shit.

Artifacts, artificial, nonsense based entirely upon theoretical fallacy. Chatter
