Modern humans have evolved the distinct ability to smell fertile soil. There's a certain smell called petrichor, which comes after rain on fertile soil. Our receptors to detect this are some of the most sensitive in the animal kingdom. So basically, we evolved to be farmers😮

Clove honey is most common in the US. But grandfather had bees ans would take them to orchards to pollinate the trees; love some apple honey and other varies of honey. But make sure to get your region raw honey to help against allergies!
My father is a beekeeper and let me tell you natural honey straight from the woods or garden smells INTENSE. It smells so strongly that every time we remove it from the apiary the whole house STINKS of honey.... Lemme tell you, there's a good reason why many beekeepers rarely if ever eat honey 😅
Oh, I thought it was the flag of Döbern, Germany. I have been there before, and I know that is the town flag. Well, there is my fact of the day, thanks.
Run? Is it an unpleasant smell? I don't even know how hot honey smells. I imagine it would be like a regular smell but more intense... which might make it unpleasant
Yesterday I went to a local botanical garden and it had just rained in the morning. The smells were incredible, I had been there several times before and never had the same experience
I think it’s funny how peppers got spicy to try a prevent things like mammals from eating them. Yet that’s the main reason we eat them lol. But even tho it failed it still worked. People love spicy stuff so peppers are kind of protected.
You probably don't need to smell a fruit tree to know it's there, whereas the ability to smell a beehive from across a forest could be really handy. A colony of bees has a pretty strong odor anyway, so they could probably smell it for quite a ways. How interesting! Thanks!
Imagine if Denisovans and Neanderthals still existed. Neanderthal cuisine would be extremely unpalatable except to the hardiest of hispanics and Denisovans could directly pinpoint and predict farts
@@patreekotime4578 Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines, too. A lot of bad/rotten odors are sulphur-based/have sulfur in them, if I recall correctly. I'd imagine being able to detect those would be a huge evolutionary advantage.
I was today years old when I finally put two and two together on the words ‘balsam’ and ‘balsamic’. Balsam sap is what gives you that classic Christmas tree smell, but because ‘balsamic’ is usually followed by ‘vinegar’ I never connected that ‘balsamic’ also means ‘related to balsam’
My high school biology teacher let us try out an experiment on ourselves, dealing with be able to detect a certain taste. We were given a pill with an ingredient (it's been a few decades, so I don't remember what it was) that a few people could detect (thanks to genes). I was one of the few who did in the class, but I'd reckon that how strongly you could taste it was also affected by your genes. Anyways, it was slightly bitter to me.
Just looking at Genomes doesn't give you the full picture. Despite the same genomes, Women more likely to be Supertasters, better sense of smell and hearing than men.
@@wildliferox2 It wasn't about being this 'Supertaster, champion of Tastopolis', but being able to detect a chemical by taste. There were only a few boys and girls who could detect the chemical, I was one of them. Taste is a sense that is highly dependent on another sense, smell, to function properly. I used to have a high level sense of smell, but I was stuck with cleaning up messes and the cat litter, so I had to suppress my sense of smell to do so. I also developed a deviated septum in my sinus cavity. My sense of smell and taste had dropped since then.
@@bryanabbott6169i remember doing this as well in biology class and it tasted so nasty😖 it was funny seeing some people yelling about "how can you not taste that!" because it was so bitter it made me gag
I remember something like this, but it was a strip of paper with a chemical, and most people could taste it. I was the only one without receptors to taste it. So I was the only one who didn't get a piece of candy to deal with the taste afterwards. Also the only diabetic in class. Which was a weird coincidence that makes me think about that moment to this day. Whatever this chemical was was acrid rather than bitter.
Being able to smell sweet and woody scents really well might imply that they relied heavily on a tree foraging lifestyle. Nuts, termites, and honey might have been the main part of their diet.
@@bluebeesmarpleIf they were knowledgeable about medicinal plants, and if what the guy in the video says is true then that means that they were knowledgeable about something that they couldn't smell well.
@@MagicBaldMushroom or maybe do some research and discover that the flag is for PAN people which if you Google you’ll find HES PAN. So don’t speak out of turn unless you know your facts.
Bit of a tangent, but what happened to the H in Neanderthal? I've noticed people pronouncing it differently for a while but this is the first time I've noticed it spelled without the H as well. Is it a cultural/language thing related to the language we created the word from?
The German name for the valley in Germany where they were discovered is pronounced without the H". It had been Anglicized for many years, but that's the original.
When I was a kid if the windows were open I always knew when the neighbor was putting honey in her tea. The smell is different than when it goes on toast or the lid is left off the jar.
Living in the wild heightens all the senses that are needed for survival. They probably had better eye sight especially at night too. Prob for that reason and the fact they didn’t have all this man made light either
Those receptors also allowed them to know what not to eat and if predators were coming I think they reacted more to sulfur because well it's not edible and honey because while it is nutritious they would have to deal with bees so knowing when honey is around is also knowing when danger is around
@HairlessLittleLass bold of you to assume people can't focus on both. Even bolder to tell various people in this comment section what they SHOULD be focusing on (as if it really matters). If the Pan flag aspect isn't the point of the video as you insist on reminding everyone here, then why are YOU so focused on it?
i imagine they reconstructed the receptors based on the analogous gene coding regions to our receptors, cell culture is pretty cool and can do some crazy stuff if your scientists are talented enough
Sulfur is a weird smell cuz it smells like rotten eggs and when I went on holidays to Iceland I smelt it a lot but it didn't smell bad. I actually kind of liked it. This must be a me problem cuz I also find the smell of fish and cow pats comforting cuz they remind of my childhood holidays home which makes sense on paper but they're still bad smells.
Oddly, I feel the same way about the smell of chlorine. When I was a kid, my parents owned a little beachside motel, and one of my earliest chores was checking the chlorine levels of the motel pool, and as such, it has stuck as a reminder of happy childhood summers, even 40 years later.
Wait they can grow parts of neanderthals and denisovans? I'd imagine growing an entire organism is a whole different ball game, but does that mean they could individually grow each part of the body of a neanderthal or denisovan? We could learn so much about them from that

Why is this man's sexuality making you more fond of him and his channel? What should his sexuality have to do with anything? It certainly shouldn't taint your perception of him, whether it's positive or negative, because a person's sexuality doesn't make up who they are and you definitely shouldn't judge them based off of it AT ALL
Probably not. Even modern humans have been slow to recognize blue as a distinct color. Various tribal societies have had their vision tested and see blues as greens (and they have a much wider palette of green hues than we do). In The Oddssey, Homer described the ocean as oînops póntos, or "wine-dark." Implying the ancient Greeks saw the sea in reddish hues, probably. Science and linguistics are so cool 🙂.
Can we grow me some smell receptors? I lost my sense of smell (well, most of it) in childhood after a number of sinus surgeries left me with scar tissue lining my nasal passages. I can detect odors if they’re really powerful, but that’s about it. Has science finally advanced to the point where I could be able to determine if milk has gone bad without tasting it?

That sulfur would i assume mean better distinguishing of rotten meats and foods along side those other smells
Why does the balsamic part make so much sense lol
So they partially resurrected an ancient guy and had him sniff some stuff
ultra thank you for the pan flag detail, it made me love your channel ever MORE omg :_)
Right? Love subtle details that show theyre *at least* an ally
Why is this man's sexuality making you more fond of him and his channel? What should his sexuality have to do with anything? It certainly shouldn't taint your perception of him, whether it's positive or negative, because a person's sexuality doesn't make up who they are and you definitely shouldn't judge them based off of it AT ALL
@@MagicBaldMushroomoh nvm you’re just a homophobe
@@MagicBaldMushroomIt's not about the sexuality, it's the solidarity in the face of marginalisation you pretend doesn't happen.
this comment made me want to dig my eyes out with a fishing hook
Science is fascinating, answering all the questions I never thought I wanted answered. Also love the pan Dino in the background!
That's fascinating -- ingenious science.
I think they mean balsamic as in balsa wood, not vinegary like the dressing.
I am also a pan dino lol 💗💛💙
Cool! Now do sight. Did they see the same blue as we see it?
Probably not. Even modern humans have been slow to recognize blue as a distinct color. Various tribal societies have had their vision tested and see blues as greens (and they have a much wider palette of green hues than we do). In The Oddssey, Homer described the ocean as oînops póntos, or "wine-dark." Implying the ancient Greeks saw the sea in reddish hues, probably. Science and linguistics are so cool 🙂.
@@BinroWasRightthey don't tho
@@BinroWasRightnobody on the planet sees the blue in Ur pfp as green 💚💙 look pretty different to me
@@BinroWasRightyh and I bet they saw purples as red too 😂
With their noses
All these years and a small piece of our extinct relatives came back
Can we grow me some smell receptors? I lost my sense of smell (well, most of it) in childhood after a number of sinus surgeries left me with scar tissue lining my nasal passages. I can detect odors if they’re really powerful, but that’s about it. Has science finally advanced to the point where I could be able to determine if milk has gone bad without tasting it?
Yes.
Add some of the milk to hot coffee. If it's bad it will curdle.
