@sqmuth Oh, i've heard FAR worse name calling from the creationist side, so go ahead, clobber Aron Ra for expressing his OPINION. An opinion of these individuals who keep refusing to acknowledge evidence when given to them. You still think it is undeserved?
A few commenters seem to be getting confused between "theories about evolution" and "the theory of evolution". The clue is the word "the". Ideas about evolution have been around since the greek philosophers, and (incorrect) theories of evolution were proposed before Darwin, but Darwin made the first TOE that *works*. When we refer to "*The* theory of evolution" we mean Darwin's- or rather, the modern synthesis which includes the 150 years of advances made since Darwin's time.
Well, that was phenomenal. I rarely manage to sit through a 13 minute video without getting bored and moving on, but this did it for me. Thanks for the ammunition, man! Keep up the good work!
@hka11726 It's a response to your comment implying that religion causes bloody wars while seemingly ignoring the most wars which have been caused by secular regimes.
"Homo floresiensis ("Flores Man", nicknamed "hobbit" and "Flo") is a possible species, now extinct, in the genus Homo. The remains were discovered in 2003"
@dinoflagz The hobbits you are thinking of are fictional (Love Tolkien. That's an order.) However, fossilized remains of a diminutive, human-like culture was discovered recently and dubbed "hobbits", mostly by the popular media who exist, as is stated in the video, on controversy and sensationalism.
I enjoy watching people flame each other in a "belief war" that will never end. Everyone has a different view on the world around them, there is no point in arguing over and over, because no one is right or wrong, everything is a matter of view.
You couldn't possibly be more wrong. ToE is an objective theory; and it therefore either is objectively true (or accurate at least), or simply false. Determining which is the case is a worthy cause considering the significance it has for modern medicine and biology in general. Granted, those of us capable of opening textbooks already understand that it's accurate, but it doesn't mean it's not worth questioning things either. Reality is never subjective as you imply.
AronRa, you sir are a beast. Your points are crystal clear and easily understood. Thanks for a great upload once again. I will be at the Reason Rally and hope I may get to see you. But a glimpse will do... Thanks again.
If you ever get a chance to visit the "stool sample" lecturer, you should mention they should not be bearing "false witness" as his "goof book" tells him not to. I prefer to call them 'brownies'.
I wonder when we started covering our body out of the shame and not the cold o-o' why do we even not want to show out genitals around in public? I mean I wouldn't do that normally, just wondering why not

@ytmoog Lets keep on evolving, so Magerate Sanger's eugenics dream of may be realized, it's so obvious how we decended from African creatures, all those course features and beetled brows on those still so primitive blacks. They don't deserve to survive. Darwin was so wise in what he said about the races. Let's not forget Hitlers evolution based master race. Too bad his noble vision almost died with him. The presedent of Iran must have the right idea in lilling off all those inferior Jews.
@mrtadreamer Not sure if failing at sarcasm or really, really stupid. Do you think evolution is true or false, and based on that; what do you actually think of Darwing or Hitler?
@hitssquad Wrong idiot, a theory is a human imaginary construct that tries to describe reality in an abstract way. So of course even though evolution itself existed for a very long time the theory pertaining to it was created by Darwin.
@Parralyzed "So of course even though evolution itself"
I was referring to the *theory* of evolution: en. wikipedia. org/wiki/ History_of_evolutionary_thought
"Evolutionary thought, the conception that species change over time, has roots in antiquity, in the ideas of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese as well as in medieval Islamic science. [...] In the early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution."
..Darwin, for one. Darwin never claimed he had the first theory of evolution. That would have been absurd, given that evolution had been widely discussed for decades in scientific circles before he published his own version of the theory. The question, widely discussed, by Darwin's time wasn't *whether* there was biological evolution, but *how* it occurred.
@hitssquad Right with you. Ideas about evolution were around LONG before Darwin. Certain esoteric societies (mystery schools) have held this view since antiquity. Darwin's version is far more materialistic, and seems to provide no catalyst beyond random occurrence juxtaposed with environmental condition, where the older view sees evolution as a willed and driven process, providing the avenue for the emergence of consciousness within matter.
@hitssquad Indeed, but Darwin proposed it in the model that we know today, and the previous model was not good enough to stand up against scrutiny. THUS he proposed the theory.
@mrtadreamer Hitler believed in SOCIAL DARWINISM and had a false view of how evolution works. if he understood evolution he would have known that selecting people yourself limits the existing gene pool and leads to higher chance of extinction in the future when threatened with quick environmental change.
do you understand what im saying here? Hitler also used Newtons discovery on gravity to make bombs and airplanes...but do we blame newton?
@EpicurusIVXX "selecting people yourself limits the existing gene pool"
...Not if one also employs periodic scientific hybridization and/or random inputs. In order to improve a creation through pruning one must also have a diverse selection of things from which to prune.
@ANIOLATORV I've read it on several websites to list a few National Geographic, Time megazine's SCIENCE section, ABC news and on Science Daily. The previous genetic tests were cruder, we now have a more acurate genetic breakdown of Neanderthals and we are not only compatible, we're them. Just google Neanderthals are white people and you'll find quite a few articals.
@RunandGunPictures we are not neanderthals some of us have neanderthal in us because like you said we were compatible, the same way breeds of dogs are compatible, but they were a cousin not an ancestor.. from Europe to Australia 20% of native people have traces of neanderthal.. maybe you can find a 100% neanderthal around today but its highly unlikely, read it in the New Scientist.
@FubarLikeYou Didn't say we WERE Neanderthals, I'm saying we have Neanderthals genetics. It's common to have the genes and some traits (like the 2nd toe in being longer than your "big toe") if you're from European decent. White people especially have these traits. Out of the ones I found listed I had nearly all of them, which thought was pretty funny. It's just sad this guy made such a great video, but based on OLD and OUTDATED sources.
@RunandGunPictures thats where i would draw the line. theyre our cousins for we share a common ancestor and it may have been possibe to inter-breed but it would have caused many implications. We are generally a seperate species
@FubarLikeYou Michael Jackson was a black man that went too far with surgery that is all. I know a couple black men with the disease that turns them White. Michael Jackson did not have it, he wasn't turning white he was some pasty grey color which was the result of all his surgeries and the drugs he was taking (not sure if he was taking any illegal drugs but I will not go there).
Excellent!! But let's remember that brain size is not a determinate factor in intelligence. It is the structure of the brain that dictates intelligence. Birds have tiny brains but have tested to be quite intelligent and have surprisingly extensive, but limited by comparison to humans and apes, memories and can solve simple problems like how to get the meat out of shellfish by dropping them on rocks to crack the shells.
this is an awwwsome piece to fall asleep to. i find comfort that perhaps the human race isn't running with scissors headlong over a cliff of religiousness to abyss hence i can stop toiling over the backwater doxastic thoughts of the retrograde to find my elusive zzzzz. thank you
I think part of the reason Creationists fail to understand this concept is because of all the big words.
That sounds comical and cliche, I know, but I can understand it being true. It's a lot to keep up with. Add that to the fact that it contradicts whatever holy book they happen to believe in and there's no chance of convincing them that it's true.
@SeedsOfHatred No, you're right. I had to stop the video to look up some words and think a bit. Imagine a devote religious person. They'd probably just move on to the next video.

What the fuck is wrong with creationists... Every individual of flora & fauna that live, or have ever lived, are evidence of it. Honestly, they (try to) keep the whole world stupid and prevent our collective development... Evolution is far more fascinating and awesome explanation than "a wizard did everything"... The truth shall set you free!
@TheAgnostiic So is "Say no to panda" to you, that you have recently favourited. To me its old as fuck, for the other guy beyond the internet it is unknown, because he hasnt yet seen the whole thing bcause he hasnt yet stumbled upon it. etc etc. My point is, nobody can know about the certain thing or news on internet instantly after it is uploaded there. People have to find them first.
@member186 Woah-- Calm down, I was just trolling lol. I'm bored! So I'm just going around typing up provocative comment with no emotion behind them what so ever to get a funny reply. I didn't expect anyone to reply to this one however: this comment in particular is less of a brow raiser than the others. :)
Very interesting video. thank you for the upload. I mean how can you not feel even a bit wonder on the epic journey our species has made and continues to make.
Well, actually, I thought the research showed that all non-purely African people have 2 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Sounds like a decent amount to me....
Anyway, other than that, I really liked the video! Very interesting stuff.
I've watched this video several times just to watch the timelapse of skull evolution. So damn cool... it's like we have inflating-balloon brains. It is just so fascinating.
Not to mention how fantastic all of the other facts are! Great video. Makes me proud to be Homo Sapiens. :)
@AronRa Thank you for this intellectual video! It's a relief to hear some actual common sense for a change instead of just, "there is a missing link, therefore evolution is wrong, therefore GOD DID IT."
@mousaey Look at the hunter gatherer people's of the world today. In my country many are messed up on alcohol and drugs and dependent on welfare. Go back 100 years or more and many were used as slaves and victims or genocide or pushed off their lands by settlers. And that's our own species.
Well, since the other species lacked some skills we have, or had physical differences to homo sapiens, for expample the "deformed" torso of the neanderthalian, they might be a slaved/opressed race because homo sapiens took advantage of them.
@onlyafewbirds Not really. Hispanics, Whites, Asians, Jews, Blacks are all different. Look how divided we are. We don't need any other "intelligent" species. We kill each other enough.
@mousaey Assuming that intelligence is the deciding factor, other species would have been destroyed at many instances in our history. The dumber ones would have to survive generations of leaders/dictators of the smart group calling for their death. Should they have survived to this space and time, likely they (or us, are we the dumb ones?) would have been reduced to slavery, much like cattle. In a way, the smart humans are already doing that to the dumb ones ;) /crazy opinion
@SleepingZombies Well there is a billion 5 ft people in the far east... that would have been a very big clue :L Also that the further east you go the shorter avg people are.
I'm really glad that human bones are so durable. It's nice to have such a profundity of evidence for evolution on record, even if the creationist retards refuse to look at it.
05:03 : no, these guys are Neanderthals. They're Neanderthals in the book (Quest for Fire) and in the movie (Quest for Fire). I've noticed AronRa has presented them as not Neanderthals on another video, and insisted on that there too, but I don't know where he gets this info. They're Neanderthals. The book was written in 1911 by a Frenchman, shortly after the Neanderthal craze, with many discoveries of Neanderthal bones and even tombs in France. The movie follows the book in that respect.

Birds have tiny brains but have tested to be quite intelligent and have surprisingly extensive, but limited by comparison to humans and apes, memories and can solve simple problems like how to get the meat out of shellfish by dropping them on rocks to crack the shells.

I think part of the reason Creationists fail to understand this concept is because of all the big words.
That sounds comical and cliche, I know, but I can understand it being true. It's a lot to keep up with. Add that to the fact that it contradicts whatever holy book they happen to believe in and there's no chance of convincing them that it's true.

@SeedsOfHatred No, you're right. I had to stop the video to look up some words and think a bit. Imagine a devote religious person. They'd probably just move on to the next video.

What the fuck is wrong with creationists... Every individual of flora & fauna that live, or have ever lived, are evidence of it. Honestly, they (try to) keep the whole world stupid and prevent our collective development... Evolution is far more fascinating and awesome explanation than "a wizard did everything"... The truth shall set you free!

mousaey 2 weeks ago 76
@mousaey Look at the hunter gatherer people's of the world today. In my country many are messed up on alcohol and drugs and dependent on welfare. Go back 100 years or more and many were used as slaves and victims or genocide or pushed off their lands by settlers. And that's our own species.

Well, since the other species lacked some skills we have, or had physical differences to homo sapiens, for expample the "deformed" torso of the neanderthalian, they might be a slaved/opressed race because homo sapiens took advantage of them.

Eriance 2 weeks ago
@mousaey Assuming that intelligence is the deciding factor, other species would have been destroyed at many instances in our history. The dumber ones would have to survive generations of leaders/dictators of the smart group calling for their death. Should they have survived to this space and time, likely they (or us, are we the dumb ones?) would have been reduced to slavery, much like cattle. In a way, the smart humans are already doing that to the dumb ones ;) /crazy opinion

05:03 : no, these guys are Neanderthals. They're Neanderthals in the book (Quest for Fire) and in the movie (Quest for Fire). I've noticed AronRa has presented them as not Neanderthals on another video, and insisted on that there too, but I don't know where he gets this info. They're Neanderthals. The book was written in 1911 by a Frenchman, shortly after the Neanderthal craze, with many discoveries of Neanderthal bones and even tombs in France. The movie follows the book in that respect.
