  • "It's not just size that matters."

    - Modern Man

  • Comment removed

  • smarter my butt

    Neanderthals were smarter actually they had sex Cro Magnon thats why they died out

  • who would win, a really good MMA fighter or a neanderthal,(with no weapons of course) it would be interesting to see

  • Since this is from the History channel, it should be accurate, right? I want to study the Cro Magnon (early modern humans).

  • It would be crazy if they still existed, imagine having different pants, shirts, cars(seat size), etc. For neanderthal since they are so massive.

  • @Nicro327 Their not really all that massive. They're bone structure is slightly wider but they are significantly shorter than a Homo sapiens sapiens.

  • @Nicro327 we have obese ppl

  • @hayfuegoenel23 Lol that made my day XD

  • a guys,who won?

  • ..........Did anyone else see that Neanderthal elbow check that wild boar? Epic.

  • @TheHoppingHessian96

    only about 5 times

  • I don't get it. If the Cro-Magnons evolved from Africa. Why do they have light skin and all around different bone structure and brain size from Sub-Saharan Africans?

  • @Hibria619 And the actors here are not cro-magnon, hehe. It's pretty hard to spot a skeleton's skin color, by the way.. ; )

  • @winterstellar The DNA of Neanderthals has already been analized, so, probably it's not so hard to spot what their skin colour was... which is relevant only for aesthetical purposes, since they, though they had intercourses with Cro-Magnons and had children from them, were a different human species (not like the Khoisan, Sub-Saharan Africans, Australian Aborigines, etc) who belong all to the same species, in spite of racial differences.

  • @nmgscp

    They have a whole, complete genome? Nevermind that, they were human and lived for several hundred thousand years in areas with little sunlight, so..their skin color will definitely not have been black much longer than a very small portion of the whole time they lived there, hehe.

  • @Hibria619 They would of course have dark skin at first, but it doesn't take very long in evolutionary terms to develop fair skin in a less sunny environment.

  • @Hibria619 *Watch ALL of the films and learn.Over 20,000 years,man adapted,skin color changed etc.

  • @Hibria619 Are you saying that if you are from Africa you MUST be dark skinned?

  • @billy1212ist By non-African, I mean modern non-African... Of course all humans have an overwhelming ancestry in Africa... Even the Neanderthals had!... But Neanderthals didn't live in Africa, as well as 80 or 85% of humans now don't live in Africa. This has nothing to do with any kind of racism or so, by the way. But I don't think, and it can be demonstrated that the Neanderthals were not inferior than the Cro-Magnons.

  • @nmgscp *I never said Neanderthals were inferior.I never mentioned "The Americas",ether.Modern Humans"Started" in Africa.ALL of Man started/originated there.If "you mean" something,say it,Otherwise,your meaning is unclear.Obviously if you don't "live" there you are not from there,UNLESS you were BORN there.The term,"non-African" means Origin,NOT where one lived.I also never mentioned racism ether.

  • @billy1212ist Then we are all from the sea.

  • @nmgscp * Well,being that the human body is mostly made up of water,on a Planet that is 3/4 covered by water,that would seem the origin.YES.

  • Neanderthal and cro-magnon had a common early ancestor, probably homo erectus, that originally came out of Africa. The Neanderthal species evolved in ice age Europe, an adaptation to the cold conditions. So they both originated in Africa, just that one group of people migrated to Europe much sooner and evolved into a different human branch, Neanderthal.

  • Neanderthals had bigger brains than modern man. They were probably smarter, you have to be when you,re primarily a hunter. They most probably mixed with cro magnon man. I'm sure the white race has some neanderthal in it. It just that we are envious that we are not the most advance species that lived on earth. A thick cranium and hair doesn't mean you are less evolved. Those are adaptations for their environment. Its brain size to body size ratio that counts.

  • which of these two species did out-of-africa people give origin to?? neanderthals, cro-magnons?

  • @marvincontendo Cro-Magnon! They were basically modern humans, just like us. The difference between Cro-Magnon and "modern man" is that the Cro-Magnons were a little more robust in facial features and body, but not by much. But don't let the name fool you, Cro-Magnons are Homo Sapiens...they were human beings just like us, who thought just like us, and behaved just like us. They were just slightly more robust, that's all.

  • Neanderthals where on average smarter than us they had much larger brains.

  • @JordoF6 Although brain size is an indication of intelligence, larger brains by themselves do not necessarily translate into more intelligence. Their brains were larger, but their bodies were also bigger and more robust, so when you compare their body type against brain size, they don't fare as well. Humans were smarter. Our weapons were more refined, and we were more creative than they were. Which is why we prevailed against them.

  • @osallent True but your forgetting Neanderthals are human to their a subspecies now all evidence points to them being very creative and on par with modern human intelligence.I think they where wiped out due to our bigger numbers nothing with intelligence.

  • @osallent *WE were not against them,just in a race.The Human Race,the BEST of the BEST is always the winner,they fell short.As was the BEST that beat them out,in another 100,000 years,were also beat out by the BEST of the BEST,and so on,we evolve,grow,adapt.

  • @JordoF6 You can not only measure brain size. You must also measure brain power. It is as if I said "My computer is bigger, so it's better.". Although, that is possible it is not true.

  • Oooops seems like this is all now BS given the discovery by German scientist that Eurasians have 4% Neanderthal DNA

  • Pffff hahahaha! I couldn't care less who my ancestors are. I'm just glad i'm here and im making the best of it.

  • consider modern humans - how many people actually ever innovate in their lives? its a fraction. Neanderthal lived very isolated lives compared to the cro magnon coming from a warmer and more productive climate - this is a potential reason why they didn't develop. The other explanation is that they were successful enough as is, until severe climate change and competitors came and put them at a disadvantage. All the evidence is that they were probably cognitively just as developed as CM.

  • @26libertarian He'd know a lot more than you ever would, that's for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • i want to be a archeologist!!!

  • 240p...we meet again.

  • I side with the Neanderthal....Go Nean Go nean GO!

  • i understand that the cro magnons are the european ancestors.. what are the african / asian equivalents of the cro magnon?

  • Oooh Superbowl!

  • @gindaer Cro Magnon is homo-sapien while Neanderthal was a seperate species that was more distant to homo-sapien than either a Gorilla or a chimpanzee. The reason that you are confused is that you have been so tghoroughly bamboozled and hoodwinked into viewing Neanderthal as a human being by the white mans media that you cannot concieve of Neanderthal being what it so obviously was! And that is a seperate species 48 chromosome zoo animal

  • I will make it PERFECTLY CLEAR! white people are NOT from Europe but rather from the hills of "LANDLOCKED" central asia where they DEVOLVED in complete isolation by adding the genetic material of 48 chromosome apes (Neanderthal) and 42 chromosome monkeys (RH factor) Neanderthal is genetically more distant to homo-sapien than either a chimpanzee or a gorilla and it is why they want to take the focus away from central asia where their devolution and ENTIRE story lays buried in the bones there!

  • @ienjoypaninis I study and identify genes on a daily basis monkey and I can appreciate why you would like to think that you originate in Europe despite the overwhelming evidence that you ASSUREDLY do NOT. So many monkeys like yourself have created the fantasy that you "evolved" in europe and are sticking with that story irrespective of it being rooted in reality! many may wonder why white people choose to lie about this? AND THE ANSWER IS THAT THEY ARE HIDING THEIR "DEVOLUTION" IN CENTRAL ASIA!

  • @VinnyMonster1 White Europeans appeared much LATER than 10,000 years ago but hey why argue with scientific facts? LOL Perhaps you owe our lighter skin to the 4% Neanderthal DNA IN ADDITION to your MONKEY DNA! (RH factor) the Rhesus monkey is a pink pale facedcreature as well! LOL Do not forget your monkey DNA pal!

  • Cro magnon was a black African and we know this because cro magnon had O% neandertrhal DNA!- Neanderthal was a NON HUMAN 48 chromosome ape and we know this because NEANDERTHAL is more distant to homo-sapien than either a gorilla or a chimpanzee. So unless you are ALSO prepared to call a chimp and a gorilla human, you get a very good idea of what Neabderthal was! LOL chimps and gorillas are more closely related to us than Neanderhal was! LOL yet whites call Neanderthal human! Pathetic isnt it?

  • @MsBlackmagic13 Stop being such a racist cunt and do some real research.

  • They did the EXACT same thing with Neanderthal. When one thinks of Neanderthal you think of a human instead of the 48 chromosome creature that it clearly was! Neanderthal did not speak., it did not wear clothes, did not bury its dead (It cannibalized its dead) It did not cook its food. It was was a 48 chromosome creature like a chimp, cold adapted like a snow monkey and was obviously NOT human! Tthere are no beads, statues, or cave art because it was NOT human. Oh how they lie

  • They have a huge problem because homo-sapien PRECEEDED cro magnon by at least 15,000 years and cro magnon was black African anyway. But homo sapien (grimaldi man) who was BLACK was there FIRST. Thus with Cro Magnon "UPGRADED" to a human status, they could then go ahead and attribute the first modern cultures in Europe to Cro Magnon who they can then say morphed and became lighter due to the environment. Then they hope that you FORGET that grimaldi man was there thousands of years earlier!

  • Neanderthal stone tools were actually superior to our ancestor's tools. Apparently, our only advantage toolwise was thrown weapons. Neanderthal blades were on average sharper and longer lasting.

  • @VinnyMonster1 go read a book. the neanderthal had less brain power. whites are mixed with inferior stock.

  • @jhswengque Only one comment to make here. You're as much a racist scumbag as any member of the KKK, or a Neo Nazi. And as you're likely Afro American, you have at least 20% European in you, which means you ALSO carry Neanderthal DNA.

    So long Racist!

  • @VinnyMonster1 *Amazing,YOU find Racism in Early Man,well "they" didn't,so it is of YOUR MAKING.If man as a whole started in Africa,then WE ALL can be traced to them,so what? Some went to other climates and over100,000 years there skins,changed and adapted.Some of the First to leave got caught in the Ice for100,000 years,becoming Neanderthal.They proved not to be the fittest against the smarter humans,they were good stock,just not the best,and were assimilated into the mix.Today WE are the best.

  • @billy1212ist Try reading my whole list of comments and replies. I'm not calling people racist because of views about Neanderthals, but about racist comments aimed at white people. I'd be making the same comments about racism aimed at black people too, for that matter.

  • @jhswengque Neanderthal technology and thought that was superior to Homo Sapiens: as it is explained here, in one later part of this documentary, Neanderthals had a more spiritual and advanced spirituality than the Homo Sapiens had until they interacted. Neanderthals invented music before the Homo Sapiens (see Divje Babe Flute). The blades invented by Neanderthals were later adopted by the Homo Sapiens. The "Red Ochre" burials date back to Neanderthals, more than 100.000 years ago...

  • @jhswengque Neanderthals also used mammoth-ivory rings, and they created the pieces of jewelry of Arcy-sur-Sure, which are aknowledged to have nothing to do with Homo Sapins, according to Enrico and Zilhão (my fellow countrymen who discovered the 1st hybrid between a Neanderthal and a Sapiens), because they were found in a strictly Neanderthal site with no links to Sapiens. So, by what I know, none of them was smarter than the other...

  • @jhswengque But, in my opinion, Neanderthals, not only they didn't disappear (they are 5% of us outside Africa), but if the Homo Sapiens prevailed over the Neanderthals in terms of genes outside Africa, it was probably because they were more, and as it happened in the Americas, Neanderthals weren't prepared for the diseases brought by the Africans. Sure, the Sapiens had some technological advances over the Neanderthals, like fishing, but the Neanderthals had other advances as well

  • neanderthals are earth natives,cromagnons came from space

  • @eldouyet Then why do we share DNA with EVERY form of life on Earth? From 50% similarity to a fruit fly to 98% similarity to a chimp. Hell, we even have 50% similarity to a Banana.

  • @VinnyMonster1 because this are universel galactic and dimentional elements from evrywhere in the univers

  • @eldouyet That does not explain why our DNA is so similar to the DNA of every other living thing on earth. Yes, life on alien planets will have DNA, but it would be totally unrelated to DNA on earth. Go peddle your pseudo science somewhere else.

  • @VinnyMonster1 WATER is the elementary element of all things and evrything evrywhere you can imagine,why would be supose that we should be something else?

  • @eldouyet That STILL is NO explanation as to how our DNA is related to ALL DNA on Earth. And if Cro Magnons came from outer space, how come we can trace their evolutionary path through the fossil record? And where are the sites of their landings? Something like that happening even 70,000 years ago would STILL leave evidence. And why didn't Cro Magnons have advanced technology with them? You, my friend, are delusional.

  • @VinnyMonster1 Oh, and as you're making such a wild claim, it's up to you to back it up with evidence. And unless you can provide emprical evidence to support your claim, it's nothing more than an idea, not even a hypothesis. Now prove it or don't, put up or shut up.

  • @VinnyMonster1 there some proof(,70,000 years old pyramides),all around world ,base on golden ratio(chek for bagdad battery)

  • @eldouyet Modern Humans were only JUST leaving Africa 70,000 years ago. And the Baghdad Battery is dated to 226AD at it's earliest. FAIL!

  • our conection to nature

  • Were there ever black cro magnons or black neanderthals. What do we really know. I know some scientist don't believe in a higher being and now we supposely have two different species. Wow! I figured out racism. The cavemen caame out of the caves and saw their shadows and it scared them so til this day they fear anything black that moves. Just kidding. Anyway what they we really know what occurred back then.

  • Hey early civ 6020-4...whats going on

  • Whites are not even native to Europe. They invaded it and killed all the neanderthal like they did to the native americans. It's been confirmed that whites have neanderthal DNA lool.... Does this sound familiar? Whites claim they have native american DNA... you know, to make themselves relevant to stay on stolen land lolol

  • They did the EXACT same thing with Neanderthal. When one thinks of Neanderthal you think of a human with a culture instead of the 48 chromosome creature that it clearly was! Neanderthal did not speak., it did not wear clothes, did not bury its dead (It cannibalized its dead) It did not cook its food. It was was a 48 chromosome creature like a chimp, cold adapted like a snow monkey and was obviously NOT human! Tthere are no beads, statues, or cave art because it was NOT human. Oh how they lie!

  • They have a huge problem because homo-sapien PRECEEDED cro magnon by at least 15,000 years and cro magnon was black African anyway. But homo sapien (grimaldi man) who was BLACK was there FIRST. Thus with Cro Magnon "UPGRADED" to a human status, they could then go ahead and attribute the first modern cultures in Europe to Cro Magnon who they can then say morphed and became lighter due to the environment. Then they hope that you FORGET that grimaldi man was there thousands of years earlier!

  • @MsBlackmagic13 White Europeans didn't appear until roughly 10,000 years ago. I wonder if we owe our lighter skin to the 4% Neanderthal DNA as well as adaption to a weaker sun.

  • The White man worked a two-pronged attack here. First, After defining Cro magnon, he then seeded the scientific community and the rest of the world with this depiction of Cro Magnon. After everyone was used to thinking of Cro magnon as looking like a white man the White scientific community "UPGRADED Cro-Magnon from a humanoid to a Homo sapien

    Since Homo-sapiens were modern people like us, WE also had to be UPGRADED to Homo-sapiensapien. Now they can say cro magnon morphed into modern europeans

  • Comment removed

  • Trust me some people are half Neanderthal, this guy i know looks liek the missing link.

  • @Ozzrya91 remember, some africans like hamitic and berbers have neantheal genes and are closer to Europeans than Asians

  • It's honestly pretty cool to think that there was another species of humans considering that neanderthals are not our ancestors

    Also why didn't they just join forces?!? O.o

  • @TFMromolo cos we're human

    "AAARGH something different!"

    "Quick kill it!"

    *poke poke*

    "Cool!"

  • @TFMromolo Yes, it would have been nice if 2 types of humans live side by side today, but you already know human nature..destroy and conquer.

  • @tkathryyn sadly that is true :(

  • I can assume most Caucasians are going to claim Cro-Magnon as their primitive ancestors. By the way, do Asians have Cro-Magnon in them?

  • @SecretQT1 Why wouldn't we claim cro-magnons as our ancestors seeing as they were? Guess what? Black Africans were our ancestors too, got a problem with that?

  • @PrimitiveByNature are you trying to imply I have a problem with Africans? we've been taught that all humans were descended from Africa, it's just that now with YouTube and all, there is so much videos on Neandethals and Cro-Magnons and the new theories that "non-Africans have those 2 traits in their DNA". Why are you even defensive? I'm only learning here.

  • @SecretQT1 Maybe he is sensitive because of racism. You have to admit tho. Racism is a natural human trait. It would have been nice if 2 types of humans live side by side today, but you already know human nature..destroy and conquer.

  • @PrimitiveByNature are cro magnons homo sapiens, or a different species all together. im trying to understand this all because i am relatively knew to this subject, and i have taken a great deal of interest in it.

    if you could suggest any books or articles on the internet it will be much appreciated.

    thanks Gindaer

  • @PrimitiveByNature I claim the admixture of Neanderthal with Cro-magnon as my ancestors. 5% of the genome can't be wrong.

  • @SecretQT1 You DO know that Caucasian is not the term for white people, right? Caucasian are people who are from the Caucus region in Southern Russia (such as Sochi) and they are all quite typically darker skinned as they are far more connected to the Middle East than the typical white from Europe and Eurasia.

    Caucasian =/= White at all.

  • @PaintedSavages I never even stated Caucasians as the term for Anglo-Saxon "white" people. I was including people from India, Middle East, etc in my comment. I know enough Anthropology to understand the term. -.-

  • @SecretQT1 White-Caucasoids is a cross between Neanderthals/and some Cro-Magnon hybrid, not Negroids or Monkeys.

    This documentary has so many flaws in it, one fact all academics know now is that the Neanderthals were far more intelligent than originally believed and were more advanced.

    Caucasoid's are indigenous to Europe, as far west to the Atlantic coasts to as far east as India.

  • @segano1 Your comment makes much more validity than the uploader himself. Thanks.

  • @SecretQT1 * ALL, I repeat,ALL, of Man started in Africa,so ALL of Man has African Genes.Some early humans the smartest,set out north.They got caught in the Ice Age,adapted and became Neanderthals.If the Earth stayed in an Ice Age they would have been the driving force,but alas it didn't.There Gene is carried in some they met.Were Cro-Magnon artifacts found in Asia? If so they probably mixed.The skin of the African born,human race adapted and changed color,depending on the climate they were in.

  • @billy1212ist If Neanderthals are from Africa, then why aren't there any Neanderthal fossils found in Africa?

  • @Hibria619 They weren't quite neanderthals when they left Africa, they developed new features whilst isolated in Europe.That's the way speciation usually occurs, when a population is split and isolated from eachother.: )

  • @winterstellar Ok, how do people know they came out of Africa? Or is that still a theory of what might have happened?

  • @Hibria619 Through DNA analysis and fossils and remains and artefacts. I'm sure you'll find good articles on human evolution in wikipedia: )

  • @winterstellar By the way, there are many channels on YouTube with science videos on human evolution. The channel called WhyEvolutionIsTrue has lots of them, there you can see what we know about human evolution and where hominids and humans migrated and when, and how we know that they did.

  • @Hibria619 *Watch ALL of the films,man branched out,the ones that went North,got caught in a 20,000 year Ice Age,he adapted becoming Neanderthal,he never went home to Africa being curious he kept exploring.

  • Just a quick question, did all humans (any specie) originate from Africa?

  • Cro Magnons is the oldest recorded modern humans found, found in their native lands of Europe too as well as the Neanderthals.

    It's amazing how many retards are brainwashed by this 'Out of Africa' bullshit, their probably all liberal extremists too,

    "Liberalism is a mental disorder" - Michael Savage

  • @segano1 wow you're an idiot and an embarrassment to my race, so you think humans with practically identical DNA just happened to evolve on their own in vastly different locations???? Are you retarded?? I couldn't care less about your liberal bullshit, I'm interested in fact which obviously you aren't. Take your hitler bullshit somewhere else and get an education

  • @PrimitiveByNature DO NOT put the great hitler with him.

  • @PrimitiveByNature i had a DNA test done 3 days back to find out my genetic make up, as well as what mixes of race i have going thousands of years back, and the doctor told me i am 5% Neanderthal this is the first time i checked what a "Neanderthal" is, so if there meant to be European, how on Gods green earth do i have 5% Neanderthal genetics if im a Pashtun-Pakistani??? Hope you could answer me im confused are there different neaderthal races of some sort or is my doctor just stupid. Peace :)

  • @PrimitiveByNature dirty bastard

  • @segano1 Cro magnons Orginate from Middleast idiot , they expanded into Europe

  • @segano1 You literally understand nothing about human evolution.

  • @segano1 You just diagnosed yourself with mental disorder.

  • @jrhj19942 No that will be you, you are a monkey wanabee, a diseased multiculturalist ridden disaster and nation breaker, a lib tard conditioned by your Zionist masters to believe that rubbish, if you want to be black piss off to Africa where blacks came from, White people did not come from Africa, that is fact.

    You are a Gentile.

  • @segano1 How am I? and there technically white people didn't come out of Africa, but the human race did therefore your origins are from there.

  • there is no cro mag they are neanderthals ,

  • is this acurate?

  • @danii956 I've never seen a documentary that was 100% accurate and you have to keep in mind that these are made for entertainments sake, but yes this is fairly accurate(as far as we know for now anyway)

  • @danii956: No, to be accurate they should say "we don't know anything".

  • Gee, i wonder who won

  • No self respecting Neanderthal would have anything to do with a Human =p

  • why do they purport that cro magnon was white european? would not cro magnon before outerbreeding with neanderthal still be the same genetically as the rest of sub saharan africa?

    Also why do they say cro magnon was smarter? Is it because they travelled in gangs and chucked spears? To this day cro-magnon practices cannibalism... i have come to understand that neanderthal burried their dead... how can you say for sure who ate neanderthal based upon chewed on neanderthal bones?

  • @BoswelliaSerrata well, more accurately the cro magons would ahd been more mediterrean. it took thousands of eyars to cross that sahara, and then there was the middle east stage. Neanderthals also had cannibalism and complciated rituals. they weren't two different species- jsut two dirferent sub species, and they both fought and fucked each other.

  • @danuisortiz that doesnt make sense.

  • hate to break it to you people, but orginally we ALL come from one species. the difference in skin color was orginally due to migration. hot climates required darker skin for survivial. colder climates you stayed paler. after that, it was regional breeding.

  • @ajlee35

    Yup, but we can also learn that Human beings have been competitive since forever, at least that's hat scientists think...

    Since the very first upright walking primitives, several species have evolved and competed...

    Therefore we can assume, that it's only natural that we still have wars, hate each other, have racism and fascism, etc.

    Or doesn't it then?

    I'm curious how you respond on that one...lol

  • @EHVMichael It's natural for any species to compete against one another wether the "war" is over territory, food or any other resource. Every species competes with itself and every other species for survival. The only difference with humans is that we have have developed something called greed.

  • @PrimitiveByNature

    I cannot possibly disagree with you, nice comment.

    It's rather true i reckon....

  • Dont believe this. Whole video is disinfo covering up the truth,...

  • @Culturealimprovement

    go on....

  • @ThePunisherNWO

    The truth is too big for this space.

    Start with "Carl Munck".

  • Cro magnon ftw! fuck you neanderthals >:D this is our planet now mother fuckers!

  • They forget to mention that their shoulders didn't rotate like ours making an overarm throw impossible. They forgot to mention it because they were too busy convincing us that Neanderthals were stupid.

  • @jacksawild I'm pretty sure Neanderthals could move their shoulders like us, otherwise they wouldn't of been able to spear things from close contact like they did. It was homo erectus whose palms face forward.

  • @BrunetteBarbie21 I think you're right. My mistake... I stand by my general point, though.

  • there is like 3 species of hominoid on the planet now!!

  • 2 human species °0°

  • lies,,,,, it is on tv

  • i swear cro magnons and neanderthals interbred. today i was talking to this guy and he looked as if he was mixed with both species. in my head i couldnt help but think "cro-anderthal".

  • @90sEraEra lmao, was his name Alexander Ovechkin because that is one rich cro-anderthal

  • @PrimitiveByNature lol. i was thinking bobby holik

  • You are right. cro-magnons did interbred with neanderthals...it has been proven!!!! All non-Africans have a small amount of neanderthal DNA.

  • @christinehowerton remember, some africans like hamitic and berbers have neantheal genes and are closer to Europeans than Asians

  • why those humans(cro magnon) in this movies are not Africans....mh!!!!! crackers are racist (truth hurts pigs)

  • this doku tells more about the minds of the producers (what kind of persons they are) than of the history of mankind.

    this is ridiculous crap - reliable information is something different!

    (just listen to the music and the speakers accentuations, that says everything...)

    :-(

  • Meh, this documentary seems kind of unfair. I suggest reading this before concluding that humans had better tools.

    news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/na­ture/7582912.stm

  • The two species may have fought but it has been proven they also interbred. Seems war is in our blood as a whole.

  • Heh, at 3:10 - no, just go to the inner city and you'll get that experience.

  • cro mag and neanderthal actually lived in the same areas for many thousands of years. They may have been non-competitive hunters. Some theories say that given the size of neanderthal eyes and the occiptal bun area of the skull, they might have been night hunters.

  • @Ozzrya91 --not one 'race' invented the things you listed. many races worked within the companies that invented those things. and even then, you cant possibly assume they were 'pure white' since race is superficial as it is. how do you know some of the men on the computer team weren't part native for example? also, theories and such are evolved from early theories from early theories. as you can tell by this episode. boasting a short 1,000 year period is premature.

  • Spoiler alert!!!! We won.

  • "Some experts pronounce it 'cro-manyon.'"

    Yes, of course they do, just like many so annoyingly use the acceptable but nonetheless ridiculous "neandertal' pronunciation for no conceivable reason other than to sound educated. Really, to me it just sounds pretentious, awkward...and stupid.

  • @MaximusRelaximus That is because they were first discovered in the caves of Cro Magnon in France and that is how it is pronounced by the French.

  • @zoolassie yeah, I actually like "cro-manyon" a lot more than "neandertal." In fact, first time I read cro-magnon, my inclination was to pronounce it cro-manyon. "Neandertal" is still awkward and pretentious, regardless of etymology. imho.

  • interesting how white people areall of a sudden proud to be neanderthal after finding out they were actually smart.

  • @hotwhire ooga booga.  nuff said.

  • nice

  • does that mean bearers are part neanderthal 

  • Who's to say this couldn't happen again. With that transhumanism thing, We could all be wiped out.

  • This is fine except that Cro Magnon men were 71/2 feet tall with brains larger than Humans. So they go that screwed up.

  • There is a mistake in the first 30 seconds. Neanderthals stood with a straight spine and were taller than 'cro magnon'.

  • Feel well sorry for the Neanderthals :(

  • It was the Cro-magnon invention of the Atlatl spear thrower that changed everything, then later the bow and arrow by modern man. (Technology and long distance accuracy)

  • Check out ,,on youtube-(New Human Species Discovered)

  • The evidence of cross breeding is myself. I'm part neanderthal.

    By the way, I don't understand why they assume that cromags were smarter when they had smaller brains.
