Tbh would have been cool had the first peoples of the Americas domesticated the Giant Ground Sloth during the Late Paleolithic. I mean those guys also gave us avocados lol
Can we get sources so I can bring this to school?
Thoughts on the camels that use to roam North America and their extinction?
Thanks!
Malaria… why not on this list?
7:51 then how come the Siberian natives were able to herd reindeer? Arne’t they super agile and dangerous?
Your own explanation of the Americas lacking plagues is the best argument against the population figures your assumed.
Covid is trying to get a little bit better now that it is in humans
The new world had cities that rivaled the biggest in Europe when Europeans arrived,, additionally there was trade Networks all over North and South America….
The real reason is because Aboriginal Americans didn't domesticate livestock, they would eat free Wild healthy animals rather than locking them into pens which were essentially cesspools and then playing in those pens and eating disgusting meat out of them….
The America's also had dogs
7:50 – Hexagons are the bestagons!
Animal husbandry. The Southern Hemisphere and the Americas had no long histories with contact with large animals. Crowded & Animals & Bad Sanitation = Plague.
Malaria is still the biggest killer of humans world wide. Syphilis is still with us.
At least the new world had not a terrible plague but a terrible disease
called syphilis
4:08 love Tenochtitlan, in all its glory, making it's stellar appearance there ❤ 🇲🇽
Why didn't the new world get dogs? Don't they have wolves?
If you enjoyed the video, have a look at "Guns, gems and steel" book
Pretty native americans had dogs, but yeah this seems plausible.
there is an alternative universe where americans dont exist anymore
that universe is probably better off than we are
Bison, not buffalo.
^yo lamas did nothing wrong
The buffalo argument is flawed, as cow's ancestors were much wilder than a modern cow too, and also what about elephants?
So many Best-a-gons in this video!
I wonder why disease expert Anthony Fauci said viruses commonly transmit from animals to humans
He coulda made his point without including that
Adrenaline?
Man, imagine if that was a game mechanic in Civ. "You made contact with a new player" lose 90% of your population
Oui oui oui!!! History and facts I love um 😄
only if he knew about 2020
syphilis🤨
I just want to hear Grey saying "Hooves" over and over again
You're wrong about the llamas. The Aztecs also domesticated dogs and turkeys.
One of my favorite of your work!
Interesting theory.
Another thing that is important for leveling up is conflict with other player groups.
0:41 That illustration is horrifying.
Okay, but then why wasn't there a llama plague?
Did not seem that cholera originally jumped to humans from another species…
Smallpox existed in the Americas before the arrival of Europeans.
There were horses in North America prior to colonization though…They were a bit smaller than the ones you would find in the Old World though…Look up the Ojibwe spirit horse
Your videos are ever so entertaining and educational. Your channel is my exclusive lunch entertainment
@6:00 Oh past Grey, you sweet summer child. Who would've thought a few years after this video we would need to include specifically include bats
Is this video geographic determinism?
Well there was syphilis
