 Could this 300,000 year old skull found in China be the missing link that the whole scientific world was looking for this whole time, David? Let's talk about it. Yeah, I was trying to tell you this whole time, but nobody wanted to listen until I found the fossil. And the headline reads, have scientists discovered a new species of human ancient skull belonging to a child with no chin that lived 300,000 years ago suggests our family tree needs another branch. Basically, the science needs to be updated due to this skull found in Hualongdong. Yeah, and this was found around Hubei, not too far from Wuhan and Changsha and Anhui, if you guys know the area of China. Anyways, guys, I think I'm trying to understand it because there's a lot of scientific jargon in this. But essentially, David, correct me if I'm wrong, there's like three main branches of like humanoidic kind of human like creatures, people like there's the Neanderthals, the Denisovans, and the Homo sapiens, which are us. And then this thing that they found is apparently they think in between Homo sapien and Denisovan. And that's unlike anything that they found before. Yeah. And I looked up some photos where they tried to like recreate what this like middle hybrid might have looked like or a Denisovan. I mean, I'm not going to lie. Definitely some of them look Asian, at least from the photos. I'm not sure. They look adorable, man. Yeah. Shout out to them, man. Hey, man, that's that's I don't know if that's what we came from. I'm glad that they gave them smiles because now I feel I'm humanizing them a lot more. And why is this going viral right now? I would want to say it's more going viral in the science reddits and more like that side of the internet. You know what I mean? This is not like celebrity gossip. It's like more isolated. But but is it relevant because as much as people want to talk about aliens in 2023, there's still that archaeologist Indiana Jones vibe where people are still trying to figure out where we came from. Yeah, we're going to get into it, guys. Lots of comments, lots of takeaways. Please hit that like button right now, especially if you enjoy the news and the commentary that we provide. David, to me, I think it's partially going viral because of the geopolitics behind it because it's found in China, although it was like confirmed by a team from the UK and Spain and all these different people. It's not like China, like the Chinese scientists are making this up. But I guess like, basically, it just goes back to like, man, China is just making everything from like your cheap Amazon gadgets to your DJI drones to viruses that mess with the world. So now they got these old skulls too. Yeah. And I think the biggest shame is that nobody's talking about how good Wuhan Riga Mian is. Hey, man, I'm telling you that dish is delicious, man. Yeah, they were probably like, yeah, after we found the bones, to celebrate, they ate the noodles. Real quick, before we get into the comments section, Andrew, I think science and theories, they always change, right? Because there's always new information. But it kind of feels like we just freeze from since we were in high school. But now it feels like it's kind of wanting to get updated. Because, you know, everybody's just gotten into conspiracy theories and like stop caring about the past. Yeah, I think people are looking more into history and conspiracy theories of history now that I think that you're always uncovering little bits of history that we didn't know before that do they kind of change history? They might change how you perceive history, right? There is new history being found all the time. So I guess like, does this change how people feel like if previously we thought that the oldest skull was found 300,000 years ago in Africa, what does it mean that this skull is that old and it's found in Asia? So does that mean it's like dated back even farther? And like, what does that mean? Does it mean that Asians had their like the gene pool and the genetic diversity is like different? Or I don't know. I don't know. You let me know in the comments down below. What does this mean to you? I kind of need some help interpreting it to be honest. I think China's in a really interesting situation because it's almost like, like you said, people are viewing it almost as a Blade Runner type, like ancient modern place, but then it's still just got stuff that's super old old, you know, like it like it has like some of the oldest government buildings that has some of the oldest like coins, you know, the monetary system has the oldest like artifacts and noodles that has the oldest like skulls of like clearly this missing link. Right. I mean, it's just interesting. You know, you look at Chongqing, the guy is like a mixture of old and new. Anyway, let's get in the comments section. Somebody said, when are we going to admit that just a horny alien visited earth a long time ago had sex with the primate and we are the result? I don't know. Like the whole alien theory, it doesn't make sense to me because it's like, what is so alien about the humans? Like we're made up of the exact same thing that the earth is that other animals are. So how, how are we just the iPhone 14 version or iPhone 28? I think it's more likely if anything that aliens gave us some technology versus we're all part aliens. Like that makes zero sense to me. Somebody said, I'm surprised that this was found in China and not Japan because the eye holes on this skull look big enough to be anime eyes. Someone said, I believe it, man. It's got a really flat face and they found that in Hualongdong. That sure looked like a Hualongdong skull to me. Other people are talking about it having a recessed chin. Is that just due to inbreeding? Because a lot of people, this guy said, I'm from North Georgia. A lot of people got that same chin over here. They must have been mouth breathers, not nose breathers. And other people were saying, you know, I noticed a lot of British royalty because of the inbreeding amongst the Royals. They also have recessed chins. Oh, yeah. So just a lot of talk on recessed chins. I don't know, but is this pseudoscience or real science or do does do a lot of internet comments. They take like a little bit of science that they know and then extrapolate it. Right. Everybody kind of wants to be a scientist. Somebody says we have not even scratched the tip of the iceberg as far as science goes. We don't really know. I mean, we like kind of have an idea, but I'm sure it's going to develop so much more with new technology. How much do we even know about everything? You know, it seems like we kind of froze with the theories from the 80s and the 70s. Right. Yeah. New history being found all the time. And so this one comment was interesting. Someone said, what if we aren't even the newest adaptation? We're just the adaptation that flourished. So there could have been, they're suggesting a more evolved version of us, but they just didn't make it. And that's not like the most evolved version doesn't always mean that they're going to withstand everything like. Right. Right. Right. I guess. I don't know. That's a good point to be honest, man. I guess they would have even had smaller heads, right? Because if the if the head shrank from Dennevin to Neanderthal to humanoid, who knows? Somebody said, I remember back to my college days and Asians in my many math classes set the curve through the class scoring much higher marks than everybody else. They were likely cross bred with advanced aliens 300,000 years ago and have better evolved minds and the desire to master whatever they put their focus on. I believe that Asians are aliens. And then of course, there was a bunch of comments. It's funny because it goes with Andrew Schultz's theory earlier where it said, Asians are clearly offspring of aliens because they have the biggest brains, but they also have weak bodies, soft skin and soft voices. Yeah. You know, I guess it's funny how anything that is different than what the Western people see, it is seen as alien. I'm sure at some point these white people looked at black people from Africa as something very different too. But now they are the gods of basketball. Somebody said, why can you believe in God and science at the same time? Because people said, if this goes 300,000 years ago, but a lot of people think the earth is only 6,000 years old, then is religion just punching the air right now? I mean, I think if you are the religious person that believes the world is only 6,000 years old, then you already had to deal with a lot of other science that you didn't agree with. So I don't know. I don't know what does the existence of aliens mean you can't believe in God? I don't know. What about dinosaurs? Who knows, man? Somebody said, how do we know that a fossil is representative of the entire species? Because if we find skeletons of Peter Dinklage and Shaquille O'Neal in the future, how will scientists know that they were from the same species? Oh, that's interesting. I'm sure their skeleton structure is going to be so different. Yeah, but then their fingers would work the same. But they would just be way smaller. The amount of bones would probably be the same, but just the shape of their bodies are going to be so different. Right. Listen, guys, these are questions that I actually never asked before. These are good ones. Somebody said, you know, what does it mean if there was like another core of man like for the Java man or something like that? Or like, you know, there's another core of man that came from Asia. Is that going to change anything? Or like, you know, does basically a rewiring of the branches mean anything? I don't know. It's so far ago. Like, some part of me almost just wants to live in the present and be like, yo, this doesn't matter, man. Like, who cares what happened 200,000 years ago? Are we even, do we even care what happened 2,000 years ago? You know what I mean? The world was so different. Do some people even care what happened 20 years ago? Some people said, I don't trust anything coming out of China that makes stuff up all the time. No wonder why they eat bats and cats and fish heads. It's in their DNA. Oh, but did they purchase that archaeology kid on Temu? And yeah, one thing you don't really see in one sentence, China and long dong. The internet's funny. Andrew, what are your takeaways, man? I would say I enjoy science more than your average person, whatever, you know, you want to say your average American is. But even me, I'm like more future focused, right? I'm like, I'm like, yeah, it's cool, I guess. But what are the implications for now? Right. Well, honestly, a lot of people are also thinking the same thing. They want to know if this scientific discovery somehow threatens their point of view or threatens their identity. And we're like, well, if it's 300,000 years old from China, does that mean they think they're better than us? Because they are not! Or like a Chinese person could be easily thinking, yeah, well, you know, if we have the oldest humanoid, then we must be the original human. As well. I don't know. Like people are, I don't know, man. It's funny to me, but I don't know what it means yet. And I don't think that it should change, obviously, anything of how you operate in life nowadays. But I guess it just goes to show you that, yeah, we have only scratched the tip of the iceberg. Who knows? David, one of these viruses that gets melted out of permafrost, my God, I don't know. Maybe that's maybe that's the end of us or not or nothing. Maybe it's nothing. I was just thinking about some celebrities that kind of remind me of maybe like a Dennevin. And I was saying like Jason Momoa, he might look like the best looking Dennevin ever. You know what I mean? Like he's like a direct lineage. Because then I was looking at this Chinese celebrity who's actually very embattled and controversial right now, Andrew Tai Shukun. And he looks almost like just like a porcelain eunuch. Yeah. So I was just like, man, humans can look so different. Is it due to our relationship to the Neanderthal and the Denisovan? I think people are always looking for an explanation, a simple explanation to describe why people think and look different. And I think that's why people want to lean into the alien thing. Now, Asians are from our aliens or humans are aliens. And it's just like, why does it have to be aliens? Like, is it too complex for people to understand that people are just different? Yeah. I don't know, man. Let us know what you think of the comment section below, guys. Obviously, you know, this is scientific news. I don't really know what the modern day application is. And maybe that's why it's staying in the scientific community right now. But keep it civil. Until next time, we out. Peace.
