    This mash-up of various hominid species reminds me of cichlid evolution. These fish are the largest family of vertebrates on earth with approximately 2500 species. The Rift Valley lakes in Africa contain most species (about 1500-1800), all of which evolved from a single lineage. In Lake Victoria alone, it's thought that the 500+ species have all evolved within the last 10,000-15,000 years, and the spectacular differences in size, color, behavior and specialized physical traits are stunning to say the least. Evolution is so amazing.

    I think most people imagine a long continuous trek when we talk about hominid migrations. But the average speed of movement to go 5000 kilometers in, say, 10,000 years is very slow. If each day, when they woke up, they moved their campfire over a meter or two, that would do it. I suspect long term migrations are more a once a generation relocation of the next generation to a fresh spot, ten or twenty kilometers away. Perhaps punctuated with longer journeys lasting a few days.

      @seanbeadles7421 Před 2 lety +74

      Yeah, I think the home range of humans is wider than that; think about how they would eventually deplete an area of the natural fauna. They certainly would move more than 10 kilometers a generation, they likely would have home ranges that spanned 100s of square kilometers and that would slowly expand as more distinct groups emerge pushing home ranges further apart. Modern hunter gatherers, while not the best analog for early Homo sapiens, move much more than your estimate as well. Humans are very efficient long distance walkers, we basically just fall forwards and use less muscle energy than other animals so our ability to travel far to obtain diverse resources resources is likely a very important adaptive trait of our ancestors. We can often find Paleolithic stone tools in areas far from a good source of chert.

    One Observation: in the beginning you put a question mark on whether early hominids loved each other. I see no reason to doubt that they did so in the very profound way that we do.
    Probably they had less sophisticated social structure (which is a fascinating issue), but everything indicates that our emotional and behavioral structures were quite similar.

      The pit of children from nearly a million years ago that had been cannibalized might have even arose from a similar reason why some cultures in the past 100 years even consumed their dead. Was there evidence that they might have died in various ways and were later eaten? Could it have been early forms of sacrifice to their deities or just for the greater good which I believe was a fairly common practice in some modern civilizations into the late 1800s and I am sure has had to have been practiced by more remote peoples or even desperate families in times of famine and such up to modern day.

      No, evolution does not respond to gaps in nature, whatever that would be. Evolution is a two step process. The first step is a random mutation in the genome. The second step is not random at all. It is the testing of that mutation in the environment (natural selection). If the mutation is beneficial, the reproduction and survival rate will increase.
      Now, just because it increases doesn't mean it will fill a gap. It might just push out a less well adapted life form, taking over their spot in nature.

    This was really interesting!

Imagine your ancestors only making it half a mile from your home over tens of thousands of years!

      You each received half of the chromosome set from your parents.

      This causes some genes to disappear at some point.
      Sometimes through evolution, sometimes genes change through mutation .... and sometimes simply because this or that just was there what your grandpa or grandma had, but your parents didn't inherit.

      Of course, as their descendants, you no longer have the same genetic profile, but they are still your ancestors.
      The blonde comes from the Yamnaya, by the way, who weren't that blonde and fair-skinned themselves. ... it was the combination of their genes and the people they found when they came from what is now called Ukraine ... so a bit like mixing colors in a water glass ...

The visuals of how Papua New Guinea populations could have 2% carry over DNA from ancient populations makes sense when you think about how not every collapse HAD to be a total collapse.

    Great video! I'll have to check out your others now!
    One thing I did want to point out is your emphasis on what regions of the brain expanded or shrunk based on changing skull shape. The issue here is that brain size and lobe size don't really correlate with capacity in these regions. I'd say we would have to see the cortex surface area, if anything, since that's what determines the raw processing capability of these regions of the brain. The deeper white matter is mostly connective interfacing, while the raw processing happens on the surface.
    But I think most of this is a rearrangement than a rescale of those specific areas. A lot of our skull shape change was related to switching from part-time knuckle walking to full-time bipedalism. The spine attaches to the skull more vertically than horizontally, and in the process the skull gains some vertical orientation and loses some horizontal orientation.

    Great video again Stefan. The out of Africa moment 55000 - 70000 years ago, is quite nicely in line with the Toba explosion.

      @torfinnzempel6123 Před 2 lety +15

      Yes. I had heard that that explosion coincides with a genetic bottleneck in Humans. That estimates put us at a drop in population of as low as 10000 individuals. If true, it is possible that this eruption may be responsible for the extinction, or near extinction of earlier migrations, and making room for the last migration to move into.

      @LuisAldamiz Před 2 lety +2

      But it wasn't in that date. It was c. 125-90,000 years ago, because ARCHAEOLOGY SAYS SO. It fits perfectly with the Abbasia Pluvial. We know of African technologies appearing in Arabia and Palestine and also NW Africa in those days and at the end of the period also in India. There's zero archaeological evidence for any later migration to Asia.
      The Toba eruption almost certainly caused a major crisis in the Asian populations (then living in South and SE Asia, not clear if they had already reached Australia) but they recovered. IMO it fits well with the mtDNA N/R expansion and on the Y-DNA side with that of K2, which produced K2a/NO (N and O, East Asia) and K2b, which left many lineages in SE Asia and Papua but most notably produced P > P1 (in Bengal and Bihar) > R and Q (in West and Central Asia). This part is clearly between Toba and the earliest Upper Paleolithic of West Eurasia.
      The molecular clock has been in need of recalibration for more than a decade already.

      @@torfinnzempel6123 This reported "bottleneck" neglects the genetic diversity of African populations. There's no bottleneck there. If all you're testing are Europeans, then yeah, it does look like a bottleneck. But for the Toba eruption to have created such an environmental catastrophe to nearly eliminate humans, you'd expect to see similar bottlenecks in other species. But you don't. Not in gorillas, not in chimpanzees, no in zebras, not in giraffes, not in lions or tigers or bears, not in antelope... etc. Toba is really a non-issue from the standpoint of human evolution.

      Anyone else think it's weird that modern humans seemingly invented the bow and arrow right around the time of the eruption? And then never used it outside of Africa for thousands of years after that? Is it a coincidence that the Toba explosion wiped out everyone outside of Africa just as Africans invented the bow and arrow, or did the bow and arrow exist earlier, and somehow hasn't been discovered in the archaeological record from those earlier times? Did the eruption kill off enough larger game that the bow and arrow was invented purely out of necessity for hunting smaller game?

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz Před 2 lety +1

      @@gadpivs - On the bow: it's not clear, it was maybe developed separately in Africa and other parts of the world (certainly it was a thing in Solutrean Europe, where it is at least depicted in rock art). The atlatl (quite apparently an Asian development which had a major impact in Europe and later America via the Upper Paleolithic of West Asia Plus) is a very comparable weapon if not better. African usage of bow seems to rely on poison (small bows without much penetrating power, very different in use to more modern "longbows", which only seem to appear later) and in other areas (SE Asia, America) this poison hunting tactics was apparently associated to the blowgun instead. These ranged weapons overall probably evolved separately in different regions at different times and we must make a distinction between impact/penetration weapons (notably spear, atlatl) and poison weapons (small bow, blowgun).
      The Toba supervolcano seems to have negligible impact in Africa (other than indirect via global cooling, which was a worldwide impact) but it did have major impact in South and SE Asia, where "out of Africa" humans already lived (ignore the "molecular clock" nonsense: it's wrongly calibrated, it needs to be recalibrated and should have been recalibrated already a decade ago). This resulted in major bottlenecks in Asia but also in opportunities for expansion of the more resourceful survivors. If we look carefully we see the mtDNA clans M4'67 (in South Asia) and N and its "daughter" R (both from SE Asia probably) taking advantage of this huge crisis.

The glacial period of the ice age would have likely sped up the lightening of people's skin, but it still would have been a slow process covering dozens of generations. You can still see a sort of continuous skin tone spectrum if you start in Central Africa, getting lighter as you head north towards the arctic.
