- VIDEO INFO:
In this video we dive down the rabbit hole of the Nebraska Man. An ancient "set" of human remain(s) discovered in the late 1910s by a man named Harold Cook. Cook was convinced that the artifact that he had found was evidence of a lost species of great ape, and potentially a human ancestor, native to North America. Join me as we explore the splash that this discovery caused and explore how science can sometimes be just as dogmatic as the world of pseudoscience

Milo, I hereby humbly request that you do your Atlantis-Episode in Cosplay as the protagonist of the 2001 Disney Movie "Atlantis" who is called Milo Thatch.
Come on, you guys, that's just a match made in heaven.
Didn't even think about that. real shit
can he do Princess Kida instead?
PLEASE OH MY GOODNESS
Made in heaven?! 🤯
Bumping this!!
"please not something really terrible"
followed immediately by "Atlantis" is the funniest possible outcome
I should have just kept my mouth shut
@@miniminuteman773way to jinx yourself
@@miniminuteman773 you could have just respun. we wouldn't have known. but nah, i like to hear about atlantis. it was a good movie.
The confetti too hahahaha
WAAAAAAY DOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWN BELOW THE OOOOCEAAAN...
Atlantis by Donnovan is one of the most unhinged things to take literally.
Milo saying Arthropoid every time instead of Anthropoid had me imagining a giant prehistoric spiderman.
Caveman Spider-Man is a wild idea though ngl
He's got web shooters using tar covered rope or something
@@seanfrazee5146 Or a mutation that allows him to shoot web from his actual wrists.
You know, like the OG Spiderman.
"I bet they teach you about that all the time in schools."
I have a friend who literally accused me of peddling conspiracy theories when I talked about the eugenics movement. I was utterly floored.
They can teach you, but there's no guarantee they will pay attention I guess
@@seanfrazee5146 Thing is, I don't remember them teaching it either. I learned of it on my own because I read all kinds of stuff.
I didn't learn about phrenology until I was at least 20 and didn't realize why it was actually used for...a long time after.
"Anyone who refuse to crticize their own country is not a patriot". Oh brother, I´ve been telling my students exactly this my whole career as an educator and I'm on the brink of getting expelled precisely for this.
i hope you get to keep your job
If you get fired tell me and I’d be happy to write them a strongly worded letter
@@miniminuteman773I haven’t seen you go 5 minutes without saying enough to make a grown man cry, I’m fairly certain that letter will have an impact.
"My country right or wrong; when right to be kept right, when wrong to be made right".
keep fighting the good fight worse case scenario you get an employment lawyer (and win for unlawful termination) - then use that to springboard how fucked your district/state is
Drink for Atlantis should be just a whole bottle of ever clear. Not because it fits the theme but just because you're gonna need it, and it'll be a little less painful
He also needs to insert a "Visions of Atlantis" gag in there, or that one Disney movie. Or better yet. Both.
The only instruction I gave for Newportrifoodie for the Atlantis drink is: "strong."
Everclear and salt water perfect combo 😂
@@miniminuteman773 bottle of everclear and a single slice of watermelon
Should be a bottle of benedryls
33:47 Milo immediately facing the final boss of conspiracy theories is the funniest thing i've see.
This is an any% run.
Dark souls of archeology
The Atlantis episode is going to be 30 minutes of Milo drinking straight vodka followed by 3 hours of a drunken, sobbing rant.
As a drummer of over 20 years, yes, I can confirm that drummer is 100% crouching on the ground to eat a grub. He’s just glad he found it before the bassist.
Drummers need protein!
HA good one
He's rebuilding his strength after the stress of getting locked in the car and having to wait for the guitarist to call AAA.
@@LimeyLassen - Dammit we so do .
I was gonna say, if that wasn't the drummer, it absolutely is the bassist. They both eat grubs.
Nebraska Man: primitive caveman who probably doesn't exist
Florida Man: primitive caveman who, unfortunately, does
Ha!!
I love this one
I believe you meant "fortunately"
Where would we get our best stories from if not from Florida man.
I really hate to think Florida man is the next evolution of humans
@@gangrenousgandalf2102 Don't you laugh, it could be you. The Florida curse always comes true. You can jeer at what you don't understand, but any fragile soul...
...Could be a Florida Man.
"Did I put an apostrophe there?"
But that's the correct usage of the apostrophe in that instance.
Not a single comment.
Born and raised in Nebraska and I'd almost forgotten about Nebraska man. Cooks father however is still a respected historical figure. One thing he's known for is:
James H. Cook's memoir Fifty Years on the Old Frontier, 1923, is especially interesting because it recounts his 35 year friendship with the Oglala Lakota Sioux chief Red Cloud. He probably knew Red Cloud better than any other white man. Red Cloud and his band visited Cook on the Agate Springs Ranch on many occasions and for a time the Sioux tried mightily, without success, to have Cook appointed as their Indian Agent. Cook was also a friend of the Northern Cheyenne.
It also includes personal artifacts that Chief Red cloud gave to Mr Cook. Some of these gifts were made especially for the Cooks, including buckskin suits for James' sons Harold and John, gloves, and the painted hide showing the Battle of Greasy Grass, also known as Custer's Last Stand. Other items-Red Cloud's shirt, three generations of the Red Clouds' pipe bags (one each belonging to Red Cloud, his father, and his son), and one of Crazy Horse's whetstones-were very special to those who gave them to James.
The Agate fossil beds are legit and well worth a visit if you ever get up in that remote part of Nebraska
I realize this is anthropology not archeology but hey you brought it up. 😊
"anyone who refuses to criticize their country cant call themselves a patriot" truer words have never been spoken
20:18 ive been proven wrong yet again
The way I shouted at that 😂❤ No truer words
@bobrzycapolaI dont think you know what you just said
@bobrzycapolathat’s just untrue💀
@bobrzycapolano, not really. We have a problem with people doing the opposite, but even that isn't unique to us.
Milo: "Please don't be something too terrible."
Wheel: "Oh b*tch you're gonna regret saying that."
Bro accidentally skipped to the final boss lmao
Its ganna be a while but I can't wait
He accidentlly glitched into the final room of the game at level 15
DIS GON BE GOOD
Bro started Dark Souls with that skeleton key and found that one shortcut.
As a fan of the ”Atlantis: The Lost Empire” movie, I am thrilled to see a man called Milo talk in length about Atlantis.
"Hesperopithicus meaning Ape of the Western World and Harold Cooke being Latin for ego trip" very appropriate.
As someone who does a lot of video editing/shooting for school, I identify so hard with the fact that in like every awful archaeology video there's something that goes wrong with a recording or footage or something goes missing. Making videos can be a pain sometimes, but it's awesome to see you working through your complications!
Also worth noting that the guy who originally came up with the Alpha Wolf theory later retracted it to the point that he wrote an entire book refuting his own proof.
And how the alpha wolf were justed the parents and grand parents. Wolves packs are more like tribal family scutures similar to humans, great ape, orcas, and elephants, etc
Cannot remember that dude's name and I want to read that material.
Yeah IIRC he noticed that what he saw was behaviour exclusive to wolfs in captivity outside of their natural environment.
@@starmaker75wolf social structure being so close to human really makes sense how easily they slot into human units and were domesticated so early. When you get a dog you're like another sibling or parent.
The original study was essentially a wolf version of throwing 10 completely unrelated kidnapped people into a room together and judging how well they form a cohesive family unit. They don’t is the thing.
Fuckin Wolf Stanford prison experiment.
The dude did the right thing revoking his study, but people who’re determined to break up one species (humans) into multiple faux subspecies aren’t much pressed to pick up science that doesn’t confirm what they already believe.
The squirrels don't like you discussing eugenicists? I'm surprised, they usually like nuts.
I commend your pun
Ba da dum dis *drum roll there, prob didn't spell it out right, but I tried *
Drum drum cymbal
*rimshot*
Squirrels also strike me as being highly racist.
that last quote "science is a candle in the dark . . ." o.o that photo was carl sagan, truly a gem of a man.
Yeah, that's who the quote is by 😊 I believe it was the subtitle of one of his books.
The Nebraska Man always goes best with a Hesperopithecus Harold Cookie, recipe yet to be excavated.
“and haraldcookii being latin for egotrip”
Never before have I heard the issue with naming a species after yourself in paleontology be described so succinctly.
You don't get to name a species after yourself unless your name is Humboldt
Amen to that. I see it all the time and it gets a laugh out of me each time.
didn't even try to hide it. could have used either first or last name, but no. he had to use both and it sounds absurd
I get naming a species after someone who dedicated their lives to science or the betterment of the world. After yourself is just 🙄
If you name something you've discovered after yourself, You're a dickhead. If something is named after you BY SOMEONE ELSE, you're great
Every time you say arthropoid instead of anthropoid, mothman gets one step closer.

Get you a moth who can do both
Lmao thank you I'm so glad I'm not the only one who got tripped up by him saying "arthropoid". Apparently carcinization does apply to all organisms after all....

One of your best episodes. I mean they are all awesome, but this one hit home. As a German we learn a lot about some of the topics you mentioned and it’s crazy that it’s not present in the US education that much. Thank you for your work
"Anyone who refuses to criticize their country can't call themselves a patriot." Truer words, my friend. Truer words.
@@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive things written by
@@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive dude uou where the one who brought up race lol.
Okay imma ignore the big ole comment above me and say that I really liked that Milo said this. I've never thought of it that way. I've never been proud of being canadian, ever since I realized what our country has done in the past, especially to Indigenous people and other racial minorities. But I like Milo's perspective. It gave a good spin on my pessimistic perspective that I've held for so long
@@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive no one is blaming current white people for what their ancestors did. People who don't care about fixing the lingering injustice are being blamed. Even if racism and discrimination are illegal now that doesn't negate the harm that was already already done. The most obvious point would be lack of generational wealth and just the after effects of redlining.
As a German I am very familiar with my country's and ancestors past being rather dark. But who is even claiming that I a 22 year old is responsible for what happened in the past? Not one soul.
The blame game that is currently happening in the US is such a garbage distraction tactic to pit people who share the same progressive beliefs against one another.
There are plenty of reasons to call someone a bigot (language, behavior, voting, etc) but simply being white doesn't cut it. Being white and ignorant however is a different story.
Comparing slavery and race discrimination with... Blm protests? Rioting? For example
Yea. Not really a great take.
Doesn't mean you're a racist. Just thar you have some internalized bigotry. Totally normal, but still a think we should acknowledge and work on.
@@steemcgee5150 same for me and Germany. Fucked up history, many many many current issues.
But this pile of garbage is my home.

Next episode of Awful Archeology is coming out in 2 years and is going to be 7 hours long.
Something tells that going to be a 2 parter
Spoilers: In context its literally just a philosophy discussion for a promised land between two characters in one of Platos stories. Cause Plato was big on that "Philosophy through fiction" shit
@smokedeuch4039 iirc, that's actually the opposite of what Atlantis is in the dialogues. Athens is the perfect society and Atlantis is the counter to it, eventually trying and failing to conquer Athens, then subsequently getting drowned by the Olympian gods.
Time to wait for the next episode to come out in December! 🤣
I've consumed a ridiculous amount of creationist and creationist debunk content, so I'm no stranger to The Nebraska Man. However, this is the best video I've seen on the topic hands down. Equal parts informative and entertaining, with a lot of context I had not heard before. Keep up the great work.
New subscriber here: I’ve gone through the entire catalog, what feels like twice now, and I find myself still rewatching and updating the page for more! We need more Milo 🔥
The funniest thing about fascists’ obsession with Rome is that 150 years ago Italians weren’t considered to be white
150? In some circles at least here in Kentucky even 50 years ago
Ahm . No . That certain very specific groups , say " nativist " white murkin racists , thought of swarthy southern Italians who arrived in the US anywhere from the late 1800s to the Thirties as Not Terribly White does not mean it was a generally held planetwide belief .
@@zombieoverlord5173 Yep, I'd argue in a lot of the country. I grew up on stories of how my grandparents' generation were discriminated against. And my mom swears up and down that people still treat her different when they found out our last name (she's not Italian but took my dad's name when they married).
I feel like it's worth noting the same for Greeks - I feel like they're STILL treated as non-white in the US.
This is NOT to say that what Italian-Americans or Greek-Americans experience is anywhere close to what Black Americans deal with, especially today. But I also find it deeply ironic, bordering on hilarious, that white supremacists celebrate Classical culture.
I burst out laughing every time I heard an American asking if Spanish, Italian or Greek are considered white or not in Europe 😂It's Europe. We don't give a shit about skin color variety in the continent itself. Nationality is all what matters. Xenophobism and racism are more rooted in colonialism (so against people who come or whose ancestors come from out of the continent). Which is equally fucked up. But just not the same. We don't have the '' races '' notion here either. The defining factor is nationality.
@@orelliaorellia142Boy Howdy! Good that England has extracted itself from Europe just in time for this comment, because they did NOT think of the Irish as "white" (a category that did not exist at that time, but still...) Ireland was an English colony. Example: "the great hunger", also called "the potato famine" by Imperialists.
I have to share an excellent two-sentence quote about Ota Benga during his time in the chimp enclosure at the Bronx Zoo: "To enhance the primitive image and presumably protect himself if need be from the ape, he was given a functional bow and arrow. He used this instead to shoot at visitors who mocked him and partially as a result of this the exhibition was ended."
Tiny little bright spot in an otherwise horrifying story. You go, Ota Benga.
Caucasians in the 1900's: "We're the master race, we're the smartest race on the planet!"
also Caucasians in the 1900's: *Gives a man in captivity a functioning weapon and expects him not to use it against his captors*
It's kind of ironic that the chimps probably treated him better than the humans
@@airplanes_aren.t_realyeah they thought he was a funny new chimp
(listen hear me out it’s not meant to be racist they just wouldn’t understand anything else being added to their enclosure other than a chimpanzee so in their mind everything added to enclosure=chimp)
@@UbinTimor not caucasians. 'MURICANS
@@UbinTimor also just say white people. the term caucasians is actually referring to the people of the caucus mountains (by Azerbaijan, Georgia, armenia, those places) but a dude from Europe decided they were to attractive not to be white so the term now refers to white ppl
The pouring of the ice over your face at 28:55 was disproportionately hilarious to me. Awesome video as always! I look forward to the next one
Okay but that brief singing about love keeping you warm was a fantastic singing voice
Milo, how many damn tooth necklaces do we need to buy for you to afford a space heater and some red yarn?
We’ll buy the teeth Milo, just ask for help.
You know he has a patreon right?
I disagree we should buy him just more yarn and a digital thermostat, with is large display.
All throughout this video I couldn't verify just how cold it was.
this sound like a response to some psycho who made a note out of magazine clippings XD
bro hes gonna start selling his real actual teeth and honestly theres probably at least one person out there that would buy his baby teeth lol
The flip side is we'll get a sweaty shirtless Milo this summer
“Anyone who refuses to criticize their country has no right to call themselves a patriot”
FACTSSSSSS
Understanding your country has flaws but also has traits the can be praised and still fighting for said country is a real patriot.
four comments, shit, man... maybe you should start considering if you have a problem have you ever tried therapy?@@d3athreaper100
Milo made me cry proud red, white, and blue tears with that
The problem is the people who do nothing but criticise their home countries and then praise countries that are far worse
Recognise the good points, accept the flaws and try to improve both. Seems a simple model for the word.
At 23:23 he sneaks in some My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy concept art, nice
9:12 Milo referring to a written spelling error as a “typo” is so funny to me
Can’t wait for the 4.5 hour episode of Awful Archeology.
I want it
same thought I had when the wheel landed on that, "well this will be a marathon episode"
Yo when it blew up to show Atlantis my heart dropped for him 😂
Whelp, I’ll see you all back here in July when it premieres 😂
I wonder what drink it will be?
"Anyone who refuses to criticize their country can't call themselves a patriot"
Best quote of 2024
I was going to make the same comment:
"Anyone who refuses to criticise their country can't call themselves a patriot" - Milo Rossi
Frame it.
I recall a book where a man discussed the difference between blind patriots and true patriots. Blind patriots believe their country can do no wrong. True patriots love their country despite its faults and believe it can be better.
Little tiny bit like how Captain America is supposed to represent not what the USA *is* but what it could be.
Patriotism is just a more polite name for nationalism, & nationalism is inherently blinding & destructive
Questioning your country -- or even learning its history -- runs counter to patriotism, thus nobody should be a patriot
"How on Earth X likes?"
Early viewer syndrome 🤡.
@@MurasakiTsukimaru Hmm, I believe a true patriot would try to actively change his country in a way he sees as better for everyone involved
Every time someone talks about holotypes and uses the image of the t-rex holotype as an example I get so happy. My parents & grandparents took me to the Carnegie practically every year growing up, & it was a big part of me getting into dinosaurs ; so, it feels a lot like an old friend to me.
So basically I go “I KNOW HIM!!” whenever I see that fella
Seeing the z. vojtechi holotype led me down a hole of looking up more about them and now I'm at the csiro publishing website with SEVERAL books available to read about different insects and I gotta say, I'm thrilled. I've been feeling the itch to learn more lately, and this feels like it's gonna do it. So, thank you for that c:
I love that you mentioned the “alpha wolf” theory. There’s some additional irony to the “alpha wolf” theory in that the principal scientist who debunked it was the scientist who came up with the theory in the first place. What changed was his original paper had studied wolves in captivity, who were likely from disparate populations; he finally got the chance to study wolves in the wild and it completely flipped every assumption he had on its head. But dudebros being dudebros can’t let go of the idea of an alpha male despite all science to the contrary among most mammals and especially hominids.
Isn't it more matriarchal in reality?
@@maryeckel9682 Wolf packs in the wild are led by a mated pair. The other wolves in the pack are their offspring, who leave to find mates and start packs of their own when they're old enough.
@@kingalfred2014baisically just a family.
Alpha parents? 😳
Well, science does somewhat support existence of "alpha-males" in humans. In, well, prison gangs. But it also largely varies by the convict culture. The phenomenon is very pronounced in Russian top-security prisons, but not in the colonies that largely house political dissidents and economic criminals.
So basically, if you gather a lot of the most violent humans in captivity and treat them horribly, the status in such population tends to be governed by ruthless violence and perceived capacity for such.
Which still makes trying to emulate that in free and civilized society at best misguided. But that's an extremely charitable epithet.
For those who are curious, the difference between peccaries and pigs is that peccaries have a three toes instead of four, and six less teeth than pigs when mature. They also have different ears, different tails, scent glands to mark territory, and, depending on the kind of peccary, can travel in much smaller groups than pigs (10 less), or much larger groups (200 more.)
I'm gonna say the biggest difference is that peccaries grow max to like 4 ft but pigs can get terrifyingly large and dangerous.
Okay but are peccaries the same as javelinas? I've always been confused on that point
All I need to know is if they can be turned into bacon.
But, so what? To me, it looks like, and probably smells like, let alone taste like, a pig.
@@maxcasteel2141all javelinas are peccaries, but not all peccaries are javelinas!
I really hope the Atlantis episode is like 3 hours long i love listening to milo debunk shit
Me too. Milo is the best study buddy ever
Thank you so much for not having baked-in captions again. I love when they're available for people who need them, but not having the option to turn them off really bothers me, to the point where I have to cover part of my screen.
Auto captions are worthless though
The single best depiction of ancient alien ideas is in Futurama, where they visit an advanced alien civilization styled very, very heavily like ancient Egypt, who tell tales of their ancestors visiting ancient earth
And being so impressed by the pyramids that they decided to adopt the entire culture and continue to practice these traditions four thousand years later
“We learned many things from the mighty Egyptians. Such as pyramid building…space travel…”
One of my favorite Futurama moments!
Tbf "ancient Egyptian" is a pretty solid aesthetic
@@airplanes_aren.t_real Word. While still also a practiced religion, it's just... got such a stile to it that it's no wonder so much media co-ops it.
The converse happened recently in a webcomic I read - Cassiopeia Quinn - where they have a magazine cover that proposes that pyramids all over the galaxy were created by ancient humans...
"Ask a Eugenicists" sums up the first half of the 20th century pretty well.
Underrated comment.
*checks calendar* so bad news about how far this goes
And the worst thing with the aftermath of eugenics is, it makes it nearly impossible to mention even halfway close topics without being called out for eugenics.
There are certain traits and markers in certain populations, but try to make a short form presentation about that without having to add a lengthy disclaimer that it doesn't mean eugenics.
@@HappyBeezerStudios Yeah that's the most insidious thing about batshit crazy schools of thought like eugenics, they are based on some real science but have twisted it to fit what can only be described as a cruel point of view. That grain of truth amongst nonsense and cruelty is used to justify the nonsense and cruelty.
Oh we just use abortion for our eugenics now.
This video is three months old yet it feels like a classic.
Just binged the whole series so far and it's awesome seeing the writing, set, and editing all improving, as well as how far you've come from TT. I followed you over from there and I love your content!

Glad to have found this channel seemingly right on time for for what seems like it'd be the flagship awful archaeology
2 things. I love how we started talking about possible ape teeth then moved very briskly onto American euthenics. And also I simply love the merch idea, one of my favourite things on this site, or any social media really, is merch that you can proudly wear in public, and that matches both the channel it represents as well as being cool on its own.
Keep up the good work, this is one of the first videos I'm watching from you, and I think I might bing this series now. Love it
“He died as he lived. Soaking wet, and piss drunk.”

"Li Bai"?? Wow, I hadn't heard that name since my Chinese Poetry class at college. Nice call.
No one knows who that is
@@tryhardfinessedyou The entirety of China from the 700s to present day would like to disagree. He is everywhere in primary school textbooks. Homeboy predates Shakespeare.
I've taken a course on North American mammals and ironically one of the major differences between pigs and peccaries is their dentition. Pigs have 44 teeth, peccaries have 38.
Thank you ❤
Set aside a half hour of your life to listen to: The Adventures of Greggery Peccary!!
How closely related are they? When peccaries have similar teeth to humans and pigs have similar tissue to humans...
@@HappyBeezerStudiosthey're about as closely related as giraffes and deer are taxonomically
@@HappyBeezerStudios Pigs are similar to humans anatomically because they're also ominvores like us so their digestive system is very similar and by coincidence their other organs are roughly similar in size.
These videos are pieces of art xD the entire team deserves so much praise *chef's kiss* "perfect"
You forgot to mention that the very man that coined the term "alpha wolf," David Mech, who wrote the book that originates the modern dominance theory, has spent nearly 30 years decrying his own theory.
Hey Milo, as a disability justice advocate who helps people get their kids accommodations they need for a FAPE, thank you - thank you, thank you, thank you- for including America's eugenics issue. You could've ignored it like most people do; you could've just given it a passing mention. You didn't. You gave a crap and did the thing. I am so proud for you and grateful you share your work with us. 😊🎉
I appreciate the acknowledgment! When I was scripting I stumbled down that rabbit hole and even though it isn’t entirely pertinent to the tooth at hand, I think I have an obligation to use my reach to teach about these topics that are often ignored when given the opportunity
its... its really disturbing how much our modern world was shaped by that, for example the ideal man and woman statues which most of our beauty standards and media are based on were made by a Eugenicist that the big H shook the hand of AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT
@@miniminuteman773thats why your content is watchable by people with brains. We appreciate that your not from the town of Dunning-kruger
@@miniminuteman773I'm sorry. I'm going to make your day worse, and your alcoholism stronger...add James tour to the wheel.
I have mad respect for Milo openly talking about America's less-than-stellar past. We need more people like him. No country can call itself great if it runs away from it's misdeeds.
Jeszcze jak
Agreed but we also need to celebrate our successes and what we’ve done right. Otherwise we won’t continue to do good for ourselves or the world
Basically acknowledge the good and bad. Turn from the bad and keep chasing what we’ve done great.
Anyone who tries to ignore their countries' past is just doomed to repeat their mistakes
How is the US running from its misdeeds? Its one of the only countries on Earth thats doing the opposite of that.
Honestly as a history buff it's mind boggling to me how butthurt and delusional people get about the brutal facts of our past, it doesn't negate our accomplishments but it's just the hard truth and you can't pretend it didn't happen. But it goes against their lionization of the past and the idealized version of the country that never existed, especially the religious nuts. and since nationalism and fascism is in vogue, reality goes against all their rhetoric and dogma. Unfortunately most of the reason the south remained a hotbed of segregation and racial oppression is Andrew Johnson absolutely nuking most of Lincolns accomplishments after his death and giving the south carte blanche to keep doing the same crap. one of the worst presidents we ever had.
Anti vaxxers/flat earthers/climate deniers/racist revisionism, it's all the same lunacy that's popular with a small chunk of the country haha
"A video on Atlantis" feels like it would be the same scale as a video on Ancient Rome. There's just so much to cover XD good luck, man
"i've got your love to keep me warm" wtf why is your voice so good its unfair
On pseudo science, I think Terry Pratchett nailed it for me. The presence of someone in search of the truth is infinitely preferable to that of someone who believes they’ve found the truth.
I know it's a nitpick, but it's funny (to me at least): Your mispronunciation of "anthropoid" as "arthropoid" throughout the video conjures up mental images of humanoid crustaceans, which is kinda awesome.
Every time he said it I couldn't help but remember the "fossils" of Eduardo Valdés-Hevia.
those dang Atlanteans, I tell ya!
everything goes crab. Even things that aren't even related to crabs. Only a matter of time until we have human crabs (besides the obvious spycrabs)
@@HappyBeezerStudios and if it doesn't go crab, then fish or mole also suffice
I literally came to make this comment 😂
I love his content so much, his videos make me so happy and excited to learn more about the world and make me look forward to every new post of his
I love your content so much. Thank you for talking about Ota Benga too💖
I actually popped off when I saw Atlantis being the next episode of awful archaeology I am so ready to see Milo have further brain damage while he tries to drink literal Atlantic seawater.
LMAO
"100% arthropoid." Ah yes, the insect people, not to be confused with the reptile people.
But seriously, completely awesome history here.
I was so proud when he finally pronounced it correctly! I did, however, spend most of the video imagining that "reconstruction" image with antennae and compound eyes.
*Concerned Insect People Noises*
'He may be onto us!'
I caught that, too. Li'l oopsie!
Crab People?

Milo's unwavering faith on CZcams's compression that it allows us to read his thermometer will always make me smile :)
This was my first video of yours and holy shit what a great first impression. Subscribed and excited to see more! (Godspeed on Atlantis my friend what a can of worms)
This show is FANTASTIC!! I just discovered you!! Talk about entertainment!! Love your style Milo, I’m so happy you are having success and making a difference ☮️. Thanks for making Archeology COOL and FACTUAL. 🎉
The "pot calling the kettle black" line was truly inspired comedy. 10/10, perfect writing & delivery.
And the "I don't think he'd like being called black" was just perfect afterwards
i choked while drinking my tea - was perfect
"I love this country. And because I love this country I want it to do fucking better"
HELL YEAH
It's insane and frustrating to me that this sentiment is somehow uncommon or controversial.
A drink I frequently made at The Wildhearts Saloon was , in a rock glass, pour two ounces of Southern Comfort, hot apple cider and garnish with a cinnamon stick. I called it the barn burner. Enjoy on cold nights.
For all the pain these videos cause you, I really am glad that Awful Archeology is back. It's fun, educational, and important. Not to mention just generally interesting.
Funny thing about the wolf pack dynamics point. that was disproven by the guy who discovered it in the first place.
Yeah. He's spending basically the rest of his career trying to undo it. Poor him.
Right. It was disproven in a sense that it doesn't accurately depict natural wolf behavior. However, what it did prove, was that in an environment that artificially pushed a bunch of wolves who were strangers to each other, this particular group of wolves formed a hierarchy with the strongest and meanest wolves taking the top spot.
With that said, we as humans have formed civilizations, in which we've been pushed together to live with, work with, and compete with complete strangers outside of our immediate family and kin.
I'm not saying the Alpha talking heads are correct. They're wrong for many reasons. I'm just saying that there are definite parallels between that wolf study and modern human behavior.
@@DWargshuman behavior in prisons.
@@DWargs There are parallels between how two different social mammals interact when artificial systems are constructed around them, yes. That artificiality must be stressed. Domination and subjugation is not our natural state.
Edit: systems that force competition and destruction of others for personal success and safety make us adapt and suppress our cooperative nature. Cooperation and empathy have always been the primary tools for our survival and success outside of these constructs.
@@DWargsunfortunately, most alphabros stop before blaming late stage capitalism on the fact that we have such a twisted society, and instead, try and preach like that is the "natural", "good" and "just" state of humankind, and has been how all of human civilization has worked all over the world since humans existed.
They'll start with some truths, and then swerve right into moon logic.
I'm just in love with Milo's singing ability wtf, never expected such a high voice to have such a sweet warm baritone sound
LITERALLY dude just did that out of nowhere
I came here to see if anybody else noticed
Excuse me sir, please sing us a Christmas tune 😅
I was watching the video on the glyphs and heard him singing a bit. GREAT voice! I'd buy a Christmas album as he (jokingly) talked about .. 😊
I came to the comments to see if anyone else pointed it out😭😭 so good!✨
i was looking for a comment on this!! he's got a lovely voice
I've binged all 8 episodes so far, and I love how this feels like a class.
I work ten hour shifts analyzing emergency room records because I double majored in History and Anthropology.

Thank you.

Your videos have been such a huge help lately. My 12yo cousin died in a car accident very recently. He had dreams of bending an archeologist someday. Your videos help remind me of the good times when he would tell me everything new he had learned.
Thank you
Shit man. I'm sorry for your family. There's not much I can offer to help you through this. But that fucking sucks, man. All the best, for what it's worth.
Sending you strength and love my friend. Be kind and patient with yourself and focus on what brings you joy
I’m so sorry for your loss. It might not be worth much from a stranger, but he sounds like he was an amazing kid. I hope you got to spend a lot of time with him. Sending you all the love and support I can❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, wherever he is I hope he is able to learn as much about humanity's past as he could ever want. May he rest in peace.
So sorry for your loss. Abide as best you can, dude

Legit subbed just for the Atlantis video lol. Love your style, keep up the great work!
Your final part at 28:30 is particularly saddening because, going to a young earth creationist high school- this Nebraska Man was used as evidence in my 9th grade history class to “debunk” evolution.
Finding out that this “pseudo Neanderthal man was actually just a pig” wasn’t *the scientific community’s only* example of hominids they had but rather the only North American one, was a big part of my deconversion.
I know what you mean, I used to belong to a campus church group in college and there were a couple instances where they did use pseudoscience to support young earth creation. I’d always been on the fence about going full Christian because I liked the community and I liked the friends, but that made me hop off it in the opposite direction
Case in point they tried the old “carbon dating isn’t accurate” bit, there was a man who came to speak about how he was a geology student but then he found -Jesus- the Church and all of a sudden it “made sense” that the earth was 6,000 years old. It was bad
@@outdoorscholar6016 Just 2 months ago they had a speaker like that at my old church. Family asked if I wanted to come because “I’d always loved science” and… what do you say to that? The most bewildering part is that none of those speakers (who came when I was much younger) ever seemed to have a firm grasp on what evolution even was much less how to “debunk” it
@@Kasamira oh yikes, I can only imagine the inaccuracies from those speakers.
I'm an Aussie - I thought this -we teach creationism in schools in America - was a "cultural joke" akin to "drop bears" here. Never would our education system allow that complete bs taught in our science classes. That is disturbing to know it is actually real. Was it a public school ? We have private religious schools but they have to teach the difference between religion and science and religion is never allowed as a substitute or comparison for science.
@@joshuamccarroll2188idk about this person's school, but my step brother was enrolled in a similar school and it was a private school. But if I'm being honest, the separation of religion from schools really depends on what state you're in. My state is pretty good about keeping everything separated. Certain other states, particularly in the "bible belt," are less than good about it. I actually feel pretty comfy saying they actively push religion over science in some places.
14:10 "It looks 100% arthropoid" damn that must be a funky looking spider
Also 19:21 lol
I suspect the booze gets the credit for those 😂

"I wouldn't be caught dead researching a peccary!"
*Cries in zoologist*
it caused me to do my own research, they aren't even in the same family it seems like so even if Milo won't, I hope it makes you feel better that others will.
No no, it's ok! Your job is incredibly important. Because you know that pig is not a man 😅
Oh hey, thanks for spelling the name for me! For some reason my brain came up with pecquerie; I don't know why I thought it might be french.
there's peccaries in my backyard rn
Now I can befriend the new employees at work with my newfound knowledge of eugenics and peccary teeth. I'm sure I'll make lots of new friends.
Just remember to bring plenty of ice cubes
I’d unironically love someone at work talking to me about peccary teeth. Bones are awesome

1906. I'm stunned. It actually feels like a little something inside was broken by learning about that man in a cage at the Bronx Zoo. In the 20th century. Yes, very early, still ....
It's insane how much happened in that century
Edit: and same. It's unbelievable that people could do that to other humans
@@inakuvaswaldenstrm6117 humans had slaves forever. I don't understand how that's surprising at all
@@ThillerKillerX I know, but I still can't imagine it. Especially when it's seen as totally normal. I know we are the odd one's out, but I still don't understand it.
Edit: it isn't surprising at all. It was kind of an over dramatic phrasing.
Racism do be racisming. Drawing made up lines between groups of people and saying they're completely different from you will do that.
@@ThillerKillerXyou truly don't know anything about the history of slavery. You're just repeating something you heard.
Edit: if you're unaware, the thing you said is a very, very common talking point trotted out by people who support slavery and/or downplay the reality of the Transatlantic slave trade and its devastating impacts on Africa and the abducted, dehumanized, and abused people taken from there.

i love when youtube recommends videos to me just long enough after i watched that it’s like a new video, it’s always like a fun surprise (until i’ve eventually watched it like 10 times lol)
So pumped for next episode, when is it out? In a year? Maybe two? Don’t worry I can keep my excitement up!
24:52 For anyone wondering, Peccaries diverged from pigs a long time ago and are native to the Americas; this is important because people often confuse native Peccaries (like Javelinas) with invasive wild boars (which are descended from European pigs) and try to kill them.
I think a lot of people tend to be influenced by documentaries. Stories about Europe show empires and intricate artwork, whereas stories from elsewhere show a primitive people wearing grass and feathers. Even documentaries about the Mesoamerican are all "they were a primitive bunch and they had buildings, but they weren't as cool as Europeans".
I mean that's the shitty documentaries, there's plenty of great ones as well that go to great lengths to document non-European history and the history of Europe that rarely gets discussed, ie. everything that wasn't Roman. Documentaries can have just as wide a range of quality as all other forms of media, usually the American ones are always the worst because the producers seemingly don't believe that education can ever be interesting so they have to somehow hype it up. German and French ones are usually the best and if there's a German-French collab it'll be amazing. British follow closely behind but they're all sorta stuck in the Planet Earth model and tend to focus more on the visuals than actual education and tend to treat the audience like children, also the BBC seemingly isn't allowed to criticize the UK in any way.
It's fun to turn it around and depict ancient Europeans in loincloths and grass huts, because they totally were. Not that long ago, frankly.
I agree it's super disgusting. I am from Germany, and as we dig around and ate very proud of a mudwall on a Hill from the bronze age, Babylon had fast food restaurants and parks and monuments and finest art, 3000 years before they build smth. In Germany 😂😂😂
On the bright side, we are educated to admire those really old civilisations, not just the Roman and greek, but also the Syrians, Egyptian and even Inka and Maya 😂
Something is wrong in America
@LimeyLassen One of the funniest documentaries I have ever seen was about an anthropologist from, I think it was Cameroon, coming to Germany to study us Germans, specifically Germans' relationships to pet dogs.
And every time something happened that was completely culturally alien to him (paying thousands of euros at the vet, hundreds for toys, pet cemeteries etc.) he'd look at the camera like in The Office.
The turning of the tables was hilarious.
This series might be some of the best background listening EVER
I LOVE THIS SERIES! Can't wait for more of it.
