Human beings
Hundreds of millions of years
:bugs-no:
The most recent common ancestor for humanity has been estimated at 1400 BC, and the point where we have no uncommon ancestors at 5300 BC. The only exceptions would be tiny populations of fully isolated peoples such as the North Sentinelese Islanders.
I thought we left Africa around 70k years ago at the latest due to the Toba explosion?
What does uncommon ancestor mean here? In 5300 BC there were no individuals that some modern humans but not all modern humans descend from?
Pre-historic humans were split into different sub-species but they all died out or we crossbred with them. The last living species of human other than us were the neanderthals.
i’m always amazed at how widespread ancient humans were too. It’s a complete myth that humans evolved in separate environments, because ancient humans were everywhere and constantly moving. Homo erectus was from where Indonesia is now. Humanity went back to Africa multiple times, which is where we finally evolved into modern homo sapiens. There were incredibly long trade routes going from northeast europe all the way to southeast asia. Neanderthals had some kind of burial religion that was practiced all the way from Spain to central Russia.
[Verse 1]
When I wake up, well, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the one who watches out for predators for you
When I go out, yeah, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the one who brings back all the food
If I get drunk, well, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the first the who figured out it was fermented fruit
And if I haver, yeah, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the one who’s haverin’ about my fire making skills.
Idr what variant it was but apparently the most recent one was actually the version that lived in caves in China, and it was almost close enough in the timeline for written history. Low-key wish it was though I want those deets
Does her textbook show us riding Tyrannosaurs into battle?
Everything she’s saying in this video is stupid af on its face but I also can’t stand the smug delivery that’s been cultivated on tiktok in general. Like 80% of the videos of someone just talking in the camera has this same smug condescending tone and 90% of the time it’s “source: I made it up” level discourse about inane shit presented as objective fact. The two together make this insufferable lol
They lie all the time, so should we. It’s not like anyone believes us when we tell the truth anyways.
