The Incredible Human Journey Episode 1 Out Of Africa (BBC)

[christo792]

Isn't it interesting that only a few hundred people made it out of Africa. Presumably even this small number would have ebbed and flowed on their travels. This is likely to have lead to inbreeding. Human beings are the most dangerous and destructive animals on the planet, threatening the survival of the planet itself. Is this a result of inbreeding?

[christo792]

A good documentary, but...I would rather they didn't exaggerate. She says she is walking in the noonday sun, in 40 degree heat, yet her nose and forehead are just slightly pink. And no peeling over the next few days. Impossible. She says she is sleeping out at night, as if it were very risky, but how many armed guards are around her. There is no need for this exaggeration to make a good documentary.

i think i am in love...

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

[simpsonmark]

She should have worn a hat in that sun.

[Napilnik2007]

@simpsonmark BHAHAHA :) nice one :) But why. oh WHY the Eastern European girls are so beautiful if we all become from Africa?

[maximilianitoaguirre]

beauty is cultural subjective mate... dont let the euro-centrist culture cover your eyes

[Napilnik2007]

@maximilianitoaguirre well, visit Ukraine, Poland. Slovakia, South-West Russia... Then go to England, Germany and other western countries, feel the difference.

[maximilianitoaguirre]

@Napilnik2007 dont get me wrong man, god bless east europe! but if you were a 1st century roman your taste will be totally diferent...

any ways in eastern europe rumania rules!

Goosebumps...

...::Wooooooooooww,That is so so so amazing,thank u for posting it here::..

[GuachiMan2punto0]

This documentary tells us the same story, larger (in three episodes), which began Dr. Spencer Wells (earlier this decade) titled "The human journey", even the title is quite similar, and "The Human Family Tree". I think Nat.Geo. lengthened the story and put a pretty face to make more "marketable" the same history.

Anyway great job, although be the same history again.

[20LookInside12]

Ancient Aliens. The audacious answer all the "How did they?" questions. :))

[compendiumgravemind]

look one person didnt like it when she said "black africans" lol

[FreeTibetChinaOUT]

It seems a little drawn out for my taste. Although, Alice in the wonderland here, being very pleasant to look at, did not make the experience unduly harsh. :P

[216trixie]

"..at the gate of grief"??????

[oliverlaw02]

The mutation for white skin only occurred 20-10,000 yrs ago.

[fallen4life080]

@oliverlaw02 a little earlier than that my friend, perhaps around 60,000ya. Neanderthals were wiped out by us in Europe making their last stand in southern Spain around 30,000ya. Meaning we must have already been in Europe before that time. The last Ice age began in Europe around 100,000ya and recently ended 10,000ya. we turned white because we lived in that ice age.

[kirafan68]

Wow, that woman is really fit, if she can keep up with those hunters!

[watchWorld100]

1:45 yes i will cum with u...

[arabianongpinoy]

@watchWorld100

She is a lovely beauty isnt she? :D <3

[watchWorld100]

@arabianongpinoy she is.

[wideosvatcher]

sounds like my mother in law 16:36

[flexbrat]

there has not been enough time for all the races to be as they are today , alien interventions more likely !

[mildjohn]

@flexbrat Could you make an even more idiotic statement, please. Showing your ass and allowing us to view it is like looking at a baboons ass. So colorful but so ridiculous!

[flexbrat]

alien dna manipulations ! see all race records and their history texts all of them !

[mildjohn]

@flexbrat That's  really funny!

[SuperSkepticism]

hmm so the fact that all non africans are descendants of a small group of people explains the way we see them having more genetic defects appear more frequently seeing as the gene pool was pretty small.

[SuperSkepticism]

How do our bodies cope with the blazing heat? dude uh check out the skin tone more melanin more vitamin D produced to be used by our bones,and everywhere else so no sun burns for those people I am also pretty sure our ancestors had not had the problem of sunburn either.

[SuperSkepticism]

@SuperSkepticism Plus sweating,and man I kinda hate it when speaking of evolution people use the word "design" it let's intelligent design fags have an oppertunitty to attempt to squeeze superstition into science class.

[SecularMentat]

@SuperSkepticism I also don't like when they say 'decided to stand up' as if it happened like that. Some of the graphics depicting evolution on this documentary were bait to be straw manned. @11:33

I understand what she's saying, but they love to straw man evolution by saying things 'just change' instantaneously, and thats kinda what it showed.....but they are assuming people that are watching it know that happened over hundreds of thousands of years if not millions.

[63872639]

lol this documentary is a gist of review from my anthropology class.

[wideosvatcher]

i am really starting to wonder what all this is for......I mean life in general .....at best 1000 years from now there will be different planets like today there is different countries....nothing will EVER improve luckily we only live 80 to 90 years

[saffiyahissoapy]

@wideosvatcher never improve??? everything is constantly improving..what exactly are you referring to? Sorry if i seem slow...i just want to understand where you are coming from..

[stendak]

slow in delivering facts. i don't belive she was alone over night, if she was it is a stupid idea. how could she not get info on actual location of the find? those guides seemed to be having a good laugh. my thoughts 23min in to it.

[dubldeka]

@stendak So what's so unbelievable about a British girl wanting to spend the night alone in a region where even the natives clear out after dark?

I think she did it to get into the spirit of the place.

To spend time alone in the wilderness is such a rush and an unforgettable humbling experience.

[Rushlimpballs]

It's amazing to think that all non-Africans are descended from the same tribe. Incredible.

[ThyrmBloodaxe]

>mfw that guy has an AK

[mikieginokc1]

Enough people to start a new village, a kind of mind, a kind of song that is stored in the culture.

[mikieginokc1]

Humanity, sculpted by natural and sexual selection, into a Savannah Adapted Evolved Modular mind (SAEM mind).

[osaka35]

she's quite beautiful.

[hotbop9]

10:10 -- dragon egg?

[hotbop9]

This is exact quotes from Symphony of science. :D

[prosario2008]

God bless you a million times for this whoever uploaded it. :-)

[GabeTheVirginQueen]

@prosario2008 I don't really think that God wants to be apart of this.

[prosario2008]

@GabeTheVirginQueen Sorry to disagree.

[LsBaba]

A great series that I missed the first time around. Thanks for uploading.

Looking fwd to the other parts of the series :)

[JabberCT]

I saw this on your old channel and im glad you re-upped it. Came here to give it a thumb up. Fascinating stuff that everyone should see. My favorite on the subject.

[Kenjineering]

Oh the symphony of science girl!

[reafdaw01]

The fact that they traveled to this place is woth reflection on it's own. We give so much meaning to places because of the storys we tell.

[yesimsandw1ch]

I've seen these before, and they're probably my favorite doccy series ever. Thanks for the upload!

[Helge129]

Yay, my favorite one of the evolution documentaries :D
