  1. @11:25 he says the last continent to be habitated was the Americas. I must giggle a wee bit because it's been much more recent that we moved into Antarctica. Yes, we are living there now, maybe in a Nomadic way, but let's admit the facts. There are permanent human settlements there.

  2. 4a0 no podes perder 4a0 el partido de otro día 4a0 river perdió 4a0 estos periodistas mediocres drogadictos me dan risa 😅 hablando de un partido amistoso jajaj
    De esto se habla mas que de Madrid 2018

  3. Interesting comment about populations moving back and forth, not just going forward. Another Eons episode about the hominin apes that inhabited Europe millions of years ago speculates they may have returned to Africa where their descendants eventually gave rise to humans.

  4. And now we know that there were people in the western US prior to the clovis people. They've found a type of point under the clovis layer. That means that humans have found this particular place a great camp for hunting or maybe wintering or even possibly summer clan gatherings for millennia.
    Its been shown that the shoshonean peoples have been in their ancestoral lands since the first people came to this continent. That also bares out in the in their tribal oral histories. My great uncle says that the Saydocara have always been here. That the tribal memories remember when the Chinook people came up the Columbia river and conquered the bowl keepers and made the Wasco the eastern most tribe of the Chinook Empire. Our histories tell of when the sahaptin tribes came onto the Columbia plateau. Its time that the archeologists start to admit that the tribal oral history is a tool that can be used in conjunction with archeological records to flesh out the historical timelines instead of blowing it of as fantasy.

  5. I’m not sure if I heard it right, but it seemed like the Bering strait theory is presented as settled knowledge. Is that the case? Are there any competing theories? Are the oldest fossils really only 12 or 13,000 years old?

  6. Jeg fant jeg fant, et gammelt eventyr. Alt en finner kan en få bruk for. Da var det verre for broren. Den kloke satt ( finneren) satt og streket og tegnet i asken. Gammelt event( uelt) yr.

  7. Det er fort gjort at mennesket blir satt tilbake til start igjen. " er det noen som har en lighter"! Tanken ligger snublende nær, men vi våger ikke å tenke Den tanken nei. Da blir vi noen få som overlever i et varmt land med palmeblad og forhåpentlig bananer og kokosnøtter og litt kjøtt som er lett å fange med bare armene.

  8. It's been 3 years 8 months since my calcium CT scan results (1300) came back. I was a Deadman Walking. I started taking every supplement on your list. I never expected to live this long, I'm 77 now, and still walking! Minor palpitations and tachycardia events stopped last year. My heart feels like it's got a few more years left. So, I've decided to get another CT scan this summer, and how well my supplement money was spent.

  9. When we took over the world we were warriors and scientists now need to be warriors and leaders but they are not they are really smart impressive intelligent but they need to do more ancient Greek philosophers were trying to change governments and the way of thinking of men but now scientists are paid by the rotten people of the earth so they could not do more than serving the interests of the strong and rotten gods of money

  10. TY Hank for this concise presentation of our actual factual human progressions, and how we populated the earth. Someone once told me you can go to the University of Chicago and get ah DNA test and find out what part of Africa you come from, because we all……….all of us………… originate from African lineage………………..how refreshing to be treated to someone who actually knows what their talking about, specifically scientifically speaking…………………….Thank You Hank;)…………………….Michael;)

  11. Why do anthropologists have a hard time with the idea of stone age boats? They built skin on frame tents and hung out on the beach, ate plenty seafood,and mysteriously showed up on continents separated by sea. It would be really unlikely and weird if they had no boats or just floated accidentally on logs like some theories say.

  12. Can someone please help me. I’m just starting to learn more about human evolution and anthropology. When did we invent the raft? How did we cross seas 60k years ago? How did our indigenous aboriginal Australians get here?
