    We all belong to the only group of hominins on the planet today. But we weren’t always alone. 100,000 years ago, Eurasia was home to other hominin species, some of which we know our ancestors met, and spent some quality time with.

    Some commenters have pointed out that calling Neanderthals and Denisovans “other hominin species” in this episode breaks the rules of the biological species concept (BSC), which says if two things can interbreed, then they’re the same species. Some paleoanthropologists would agree. They consider both Neanderthals and Denisovans to be subspecies of Homo sapiens, rather than separate species. Other experts would say that Neanderthals have a set of features that make them clearly distinguishable from Homo sapiens, putting them outside the range of variation we include in our species. And we hardly know the Denisovans - like we said in the video, they don’t even have a scientific name yet.
    The incredible thing about this is that we can even think about applying the BSC to fossils at all. The BSC is a species concept based on living organisms, and it’s only been within the last two decades or so that we’ve had the ancient DNA and the technology to test hypotheses about interbreeding in extinct groups. And it’s not the only way to define a species, either, so it will likely be a while (if ever) before anthropologists decide whether we’re a different species, subspecies, or population from the Neanderthals and Denisovans.

      @@DavidCruickshank Humans and Neanderthals were nomadic, so if groups had hostile enough relationships to motivate one side to take advantage of the other, the weaker group would likely flee than suffer more abuse. So not enough to let a significant amount of interbreeding to occur through it.
      Thus, I imagine the most interbreeding happened while the groups were mingling which would most easily happen during like trading or socialization or cohabitation.
      Edit also : most people wouldn’t say Neanderthal females were as attractive to us, so I don’t imagine most people would go out of their way unless they genuinely liked each other for more than just looks

      I think Danz is spot on. Tribalism is still a thing, just look at who we elect and tolerate as leaders of world powers. I think this is where evolution has (for now) got it wrong. It didn't anticipate that we would be able to create a hospitable environment which is suited just for us and where instinctually protective and aggressive behavior, which did work to our advantage in ancient times, actually makes our species more vulnerable to ourselves.

    This is honestly kinda crazy to me and I think it says something about humanity's desperation for companionship. People will talk to inanimate objects, we adopt pets, we hang out in areas where over a thousand of us live and we're still not satisfied with having that many companions. So we imagined fairies or dragons or other creatures we could communicate and talk to and as we soon learn they probably don't exist, we look to other places where we might find intelligent life, like the stars, or under the sea or we create it ourselves through robots and Artificial Intelligence. There's ghosts in our blood and we're all so desperate for companionship, it. It gives me chills honestly.

      If you consider the fact that there are humans who attempt to "breed" with other animals now, the thought that two thinking beings of different species (with compatible parts) may decide to do so becomes less strange.

    I think one thing that isn't brought up often when trying to think about why neanderthals and other hominins went extinct while sapiens didn't, is the fact that we almost went extinct too. It makes much more sense once you realize this. I think we often imagine it as if the other species went extinct because they all had some fatal flaw, and we were simply so much superior, whereas the reality is that our entire genus, including our own species, was on the verge of extinction, and we only barely made it. This video does address some of the potential reasons why we survived. Ultimately, however, it's an amazing lucky fluke of evolution that we did survive. It makes one wonder how many planets out there went through billions of years of evolution to finally produce a species intelligent enough to be capable of a technological civilization, only to end up going extinct before they had a chance to develop that far.

Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago.
