Ancient Human Bone Weapons HALABELLA 2024-09-24 | A study showed, weapons carved from human bone come from drowned land bridge between UK and Europe. Now, stone Age hunters crafted sharp weapons out of human bone about 11,000 years ago and these hunter-gatherers lived in Doggerland, a now-underwater region in the North Sea that connected Europe to Britain. At the end of the last ice age, when sea levels were lower, it was inhabited by herds of animals and humans. Although these people are long gone, artifacts from their culture, including bone weapons, often wash ashore in the Netherlands.For more than 8,000 years, distinctive weapons—slender, saw-toothed bone points—made by the land’s last inhabitants rested at the bottom of the North Sea. That was until 2oth-century engineers, with mechanical dredgers, began scooping up the seafloor and using the sediments to fortify the shores of the Netherlands. The ongoing work has also, accidentally, brought artifacts and fossils from the depths to the Dutch beaches.With over 1,000 bone weapons found in the area these weapons were not something to be written off within this ancient culture. Along this vein, warriors in New Guinea chose human bone for some of their daggers. Because the daggers were made of human bone, they were said to retain the strength and power of its previous owner. This made them prized objects and significant to their possessors, and a more ceremonial object.Back to the topic, an analysis of 10 of these bone weapons revealed that eight were carved from red deer bone and antlers, and two were crafted from human bone. Study lead researcher Joannes Dekker, a Master's student of archaeology at Leiden University in the Netherlands, told Live Science said "We expected to find some deer, but humans? It wasn't even in my wildest dreams that there would be humans among them," While it might sound useful enough, human bone would’ve been a bit of an inconvenience for our ancestors. It’s rarer than materials from animals, and more brittle too, needing to be harvested shortly after death before it becomes far too brittle to be worked with. This suggests a different significance outside of killing deer, more towards a sentimental or spiritual onethan functional#ancienthumans #boneweapons #ancientweapons Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Oldest Hunt HALABELLA 2024-04-01 | Hidden within the depths of the limestone caves of Sulawesi, Indonesia, lies a treasure trove of ancient art that unravels the mysteries of our distant past. Among these enigmatic murals, the oldest hunting scene ever discovered unfolds, painted over 44,000 years ago by the hands of our Paleolithicancestors.According to the researchers, it's probably the oldest known story told through illustrations. The mural is at least 44,000 years old, which puts it roughly twice as old as most similar scenes found in European cave paintings, like the 19,000-year-old French mural depicting a bison charging a man with a bird's head. Since the 1950s, scholars have documented more than 240 cave art sites on Sulawesi, but for decades, these paintings were assumed to be no older than about 12,000 years. That started to change in 2014, when a team including Aubert and Brumm began finding cave paintings in Indonesia that were at least 40,000 years old, making them at least as old as Europe’s famed cave-art sites, if not older.The discovery modifies some long-held beliefs about when and where humans first displayed our distinctive cognitive traits. It also contributes to the expanding body of ancient art known in Southeast Asia.At the heart of this ancient tableau is a breathtaking depiction of a wild hunt, where human figures dance in harmony with the rhythm of nature. Rendered in earthy tones of ochre and charcoal, the hunters stalk their prey with a primal grace, their spears poised for the decisive strike. Around them, the vibrant fauna of prehistoric Sulawesi springs to life – leaping deer, towering wild boars, and elusive marsupials, each captured in intricate detail.#ancienthumans #cavepaintings #humanevolution Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Lantian Man | Chinese Homo Erectus HALABELLA 2024-03-12 | Lantian Man is the name given to subspecies of Homo erectus of which ancient fossils were found in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province in China in 1963. Lantian Man were originally dated to 1.15 million years. However, a new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution, has provided compelling evidence that the fossil is actually 1.63 million years old, making it the oldest fossil hominin ever found in northeast Asia, and its original location the second oldest site with cranial remains outside Africa.One specimen was found at each site: a cranium at Gongwangling (Kung-wang-ling) and a mandible at Chenjiawo (Ch’en-chia-wo). Both appear to be female. Stone implements from a third site in Lantian may be contemporary with the fossils.Named Sinanthropus lantianensis by its discoverers, Lantian man is now classified by most scholars as Homo erectus, as it resembles other Chinese and Indonesian fossils of this species, such as Java man and Peking man. The scientists analysed six teeth and the upper jaw using modern technology – specifically tomography and 3D imaging – to reconstruct and analyse five teeth and the upper jaw. They then compared the fossils to examples from other Homo erectus fossils, specimens from other Homo species and modern humans.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homoerectusHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Timeline Of Homo erectus Fossils HALABELLA 2024-02-29 | 1.9 million years ago, a new species emerged and was given the name Homo erectus. Homo erectus is arguably the earliest species in the human lineage to have so many human-like qualities. Earlier hominins had important similarities with living humans, like bipedality, and Homo erectus still had a long evolutionary path to become like you and me, but the fossils assigned to Homo erectus display a number of new and distinctly modern human traits.Homo erectus is often referred to as the first cosmopolitan hominin lineage, meaning the first hominin species whose geographic range had expanded beyond a single continental region. While fossil remains from Homo erectus are found in Africa, like those of earlier hominins, they have also been identified at fossil sites widely dispersed across Eurasia. Let us have a look at some of the most important and also famous fossils of this species.1.8-1.9 million years ago: Fossils belonging to this timeline include the Dmanisi Skull fragments which included of 5 individuals discovered between1991-2001.We also have the tooth fragment from Yuanmou, China, which was discovered in 1965. This one is still under debate though.1.6-1.7 million years ago:First we have the Jawbone fragment from Chemeron, Kenya. According to research this jawbone was discovered in 1999 by Meave Leakey et al.There is also the Sangiran Skull fragments dating to approximately 1.6 million years agoand the Lantian Man from China dating all the way back to 1.6 million years ago. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #homoerectusHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Homo Habilis vs. Homo Erectus: An Evolutionary Journey Through Anatomy and Physiology HALABELLA 2024-02-19 | Standing tall in the halls of our evolutionary past, Homo habilis and Homo erectus hold distinct positions, each representing a crucial step towards Homo sapiens. While separated by millions of years and anatomical differences, their comparative journey through anatomy and physiology unveils fascinating details about our ancient lineage. This video delves into their unique characteristics, highlighting the adaptations that shaped their lives and paved the way for our own existence.Of all the homo species, Homo habilis is the one that is the least similar to the homo sapiens, living between 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago, while homo erectus came right after living throughout the Pleistocene period from about 1.9 million years to most recently 143,000 years ago.Many believe that Homo habilis evolved in Africa and went extinct in the same, whereas Homo erectus originated in Africa and spread through India, China, Georgia, and Java.Homo habilispossessed some ape-like features such as long arms and a moderately prognathic face, while Homo erectus fossils possessed modern human-like body proportions with relatively elongated legs and shorter arms compared to the size of the torso. This evolutionled to some of the researchers saying that one population of Homo habilis might have evolved into the earliest indisputable human species the Homo erectus.Adding one did you know fact; It has been suggested that Homo erectus may have been the first kinds to use rafts to cross oceans.Coming to locomotion and bipedalism, both species embraced bipedalism, a defining characteristic of our lineage. However, Homo habilis, with shorter legs and less efficient strides, differed from the more upright and faster-moving Homo erectus. This advancement, marked by longer legs and adaptations in the spine and musculature, likely translated to greater efficiency in covering territory and accessing diverse food sources.#ancienthumans #homohabilis #homoerectusHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

From Fire to Flavour: The Evolution of Cooking HALABELLA 2024-02-09 | Cooking, a fundamental human practice, has played an important role in shaping not only our diets but also the very course of human evolution. It's a practice deeply ingrained in our cultural and biological history, with its origins dating back millions of years. The evolution of cooking is a story of innovation, adaptation, and transformation that has contributed to the development of modern human society.Cooking is as old as civilization itself, and observers have perceived it as both an art and a science. Its history sheds light on the very origins of human settlement, and its variety and traditions reflect unique social, cultural, and environmental influences. The precise origins of cooking are unknown, but, at some point in the distant past, early humans conquered fire and started using it to prepare food. So,it is safe to say that the story of cooking begins with the mastery of fire. Homo erectus, an early human ancestor, is believed to have been the first to control fire around 1.5 million years ago. The control of fire brought about numerous benefits, such as warmth, protection from predators, and the ability to expand dietary options. While the exact circumstances of the discovery of cooking remain speculative, it's likely that early humans found that cooking food over an open flame made it more palatable, easier to chew, and safer to consume.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #cooking Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Homo sapiens VS Neanderthals | What Makes Us Homo sapiens And Not Neanderthals HALABELLA 2024-02-04 | Have you ever wondered what sets us apart from our ancient relatives? What makes us Homo Sapiens and not Neanderthals? If you have, then you know the Neanderthal vs. Homo sapiens argument could go on for generations to come without a definite answer and this video just adds another one to the collection.Everyone on the planet today, whatever they look like and wherever they live, is classified by biologists in the species Homo sapiens. But some commentators are now suggesting that the extinct Neanderthals with their heavy brows and big noses should be classified in our species as well. Before we come to this, let us first take a look at the differences between them.In the chronicles of ancient history, two prominent chapters are penned by Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. These two distinct human branches traversed parallel pathways across time, with each contributing their unique attributes and idiosyncrasies. The contrast between these ancient kinfolk unveils a saga of both commonalities and disparities, an interplay that has profoundly influenced our understanding of human evolution#ancienthumans #homosapien #neanderthalsvshomosapienHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Did You Know?Human Evolution Facts HALABELLA 2024-01-30 | Did you know that the study of ancient human fossils, known as palaeoanthropology, is like peering into a time machine to uncover the mysteries of our species' evolution?And the study of human origins is one of the most compelling areas of scientific discovery today. Well, we are here today to give you some did you know facts on human evolution so sit back and enjoy.Did you know that the characteristics that define our species today evolved over 6 million years as our early human ancestors adapted to a changing world.About 200,000 years ago, a new species of human evolved in East Africa. It was our species, Homo sapiens. Fossils of more than 6,000 individuals have been discovered so far, representing more than a dozen species of early humans. Only our species, Homo sapiens, remains.Did you know that humans are the only mammal that cannot breathe and swallow at the same time, and we are the only species that can choke on its own food. The reason? The lowering of the voice box in our throats (during infancy) enables us to create the enormous range of sounds used in producing language; but this lowering of the voice box comes at a big cost in adulthood.The oldest “crayons” (around 250,000 years old) are from Twin Rivers, Zambia. They consist of a stick and a block of pigments with facets—where red and yellow pigments were rubbed repeatedly, like crayons. This represents the first known use of color.We are very closely related to chimpanzees in that we have shared ancestry, but are not descended from any living species of monkey or ape.The last common ancestor of humans and living apes lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. We have not yet discovered its remains. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #ancienthumanfactsHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

A New Human Species ?? HALABELLA 2024-01-22 | An international team of researchers from China, Spain and the United Kingdom unearthed a skull specifically the mandible, or lower jaw in the Hualongdong region of eastern China in 2019, along with 16 other specimens, all thought to originate from the late Middle Pleistocene period.The ancient skull dating back 300,000 years is unlike any other premodern human fossil ever found, potentially pointing to a new branch in the human family tree, according to new research.It belongs to a 13-year-old and was given the name HLD 6. It resembles neither the lineage that split to form Neanderthals, nor Denisovans, nor us, suggesting our current version of the human family tree needs another branch.The discovery has enabled a more detailed analysis of where the Hualongdong people fit on the human family tree. The mandible has a mixture of both modern and archaic features. For example, the bone along the jawline is thick, a feature shared with early human species, such as Homo erectus. It also lacks a true chin, the presence of which is a key feature of Homo sapiens. But the side of the mandible that attaches to the upper jaw is thinner than those of archaic hominins and more reminiscent of that of modern humans.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homosapien Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

From Barefoot To Stilettos HALABELLA 2023-09-07 | Millions of years ago, where the rugged terrains and harsh weather conditions challenged the early humans, a curious tribe roamed the lands. They were clever beings who had mastered the art of survival, but their feet bore the brunt of the unforgiving earth beneath them.As they wandered through dense forests and across vast deserts, they devised ingenious ways to protect their feet. At first, they wrapped their feet in simple materials like animal hides and plant fibers, offering a crude yet functional form of footwear. These early foot coverings shielded them from sharp rocks and thorns, protecting their delicate soles.The earliest examples of actual footwear, a pair of sandals found in California, date to only about 9,000 years ago.During the Kassite period which is 1600–1200 BCEin Mesopotamia, soft shoes were introduced by mountain people on the border of Iran who ruled Babylonia during that time. This first type of shoe was a simple wraparound of leather, with the basic construction of a moccasin, held together on the foot with rawhide lacings. Greek women often went barefoot or wore sandals, but indoors they sometimes wore soft closed shoes, which became luxurious in the Hellenistic period, with white or red the preferred colours. Until the 5th century BCE, when Greek influence became dominant, the Etruscans wore a high, laced shoe with a turned-up toe. The Romans, who established shoe guilds, developed shaped shoes fitted for the left or right foot. Their footwear was differentiated according to sex and rank.Climatic evidence suggests that people were probably protecting their feet from frigid conditions by about 50,000 years ago. Changes in foot shape and toe strength indicate that people were using footwear with substantial soles by about 40,000 years ago.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #barefoot
Top 3 Oldest Archaeological Sites In The World HALABELLA 2023-08-06 | Archaeological sites are remarkable windows into the distant past, offering insights into the lives, cultures, and achievements of ancient human societies. These sites are physical locations where archaeologists meticulously excavate and study the remnants of past civilizations, such as buildings, artifacts, and other traces left behind by our ancestors. The field of archaeology seeks to uncover and interpret these remnants to piece together the story of human ecolution.The importance of archaeological sites cannot be overstated. They allow us to understand how early human communities lived, interacted, and adapted to their environments. From the first stone tools and cave paintings to grand temples and cities, each discovery sheds light on different aspects of human development, technology, art, and religious beliefs.While many archaeological sites are well-preserved, others face threats from urbanization, climate change, looting, and environmental degradation. Consequently, preservation efforts and responsible tourism are crucial to safeguard these sites for future generations and to maintain their scientific and cultural value.Over time, the accumulation of archaeological knowledge has transformed our understanding of the past, leading to new historical narratives and challenging existing theories. Archaeological sites not only enrich our comprehension of human heritage but also foster cultural appreciation, global awareness, and a sense of connection to our shared human history.Now, ancient humans started roaming Earth around five to six million years ago when apelike creatures in Africa started to walk on two legs. According to the New York Times, human ancestors used stone tools around 2.5 million years ago, as evident from the fossils found. Although human ancestry can be traced back to that time, there is still a continuing debate about the oldest archaeological site in the world.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homosapien Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Unveiling The Timeline Of Homo Habilis Fossils HALABELLA 2023-07-23 | The story of human evolution is a captivating journey through time, marked by the discovery of fossil remains that offer glimpses into our ancestral past. Among these significant discoveries, fossils of Homo habilis hold a crucial place, providing key insights into the early stages of human evolution. In this video, we will embark on a chronological expedition, tracing the timeline of Homo habilis fossils. By piecing together these ancient remains, we aim to unravel the remarkable story of our early hominin ancestors and shed light on the emergence of our own species.The Discovery of OH 7:In 1960, the fossilized remains known as OH 7 were discovered in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. These remains, consisting of a lower jaw fragment and teeth, were initially classified as belonging to a new species, Homo habilis.OH 13:Discovered in 1963 at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, OH 13 consists of a well-preserved cranium with associated mandible and postcranial elements. It represents an early example of Homo habilis and has contributed to our understanding of their anatomy and behavior.In 1964, the paleoanthropologists Louis Leakey and colleagues officially described and named Homo habilis, meaning "handy man," based on the OH 7 fossils. This marked a significant milestone in our understanding of early human evolution.OH 24:Unearthed in 1968 at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, OH 24 consists of several fragments of a skull and associated limb bones. It provides valuable insights into the cranial morphology and locomotion of Homo habilis.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homohabilisHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Eves Footprints HALABELLA 2023-07-14 | A young woman walking across a rain-wet dune leaves her small footprints in the sand and they later came to be known as Eve’s Footprints.Eve's footprints, also known as the Langebaan Lagoon footprints, are a remarkable archaeological find that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of our ancient human ancestors.Eve's footprint is the popular name for a set of fossilized footprints discovered on the shore of Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa in 1995. They are thought to be those of a female human and have been dated to approximately 117,000 years ago. If that is true, this makes them the oldest known footprints of an anatomically-modern human. The estimated age of Eve's footprint means that the individual who left the tracks in the soil, thought to be female, lived in the time of the emergence of modern Homo sapiens, or people anatomically similar to humans alive today. This extraordinary find has helped shape our understanding of human evolution and migration.The three footprints were first discovered in 1995 by a local amateur archaeologist named John Murray. While exploring the tidal flats along the shore of Langebaan Lagoon, Murray stumbled upon a series of depressions embedded in the sediment. Recognizing their potential significance, he alerted archaeologistsDavid Roberts from the Council for Geoscience.They later announced at a press conference with paleoanthropologist Lee R. Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand at Johannesburg, South Africa, at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. The discovery was documented in the August, 1997, issue of the South African Journal of Science., who later confirmed that these depressions were indeed fossilized footprints.Dating back approximately 117,000 years, these footprints are believed to have been left by a group of early Homo sapiens. The discovery is significant because it provides evidence of early human activity and migration patterns in southern Africa during a time when our species was still relatively new. The prints were made on a steep sand dune during a turbulent rainstorm. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #footprintswithoutfeet
The Human Odyssey: Traversing The Timeline Of Homo Sapiens Fossils HALABELLA 2023-06-30 | Through the sands of time and the depths of ancient caves, the story of Homo sapiens unfolds. From the earliest known remnants to the breath-taking discoveries that reshape our understanding, each fossil holds a key to our shared human journey. Let us embark on a thrilling adventure as we delve into a timeline of Homo sapiens fossils, unearthing the footsteps of our ancestors and illuminating the remarkable tapestry of human evolution.So here is a timeline of some notable Homo sapiens fossils and important milestones in human evolution:300,000 years ago: The earliest known Homo sapiens fossils are discovered at the site of Jebel Irhoud in Morocco. These fossils, consisting of skull fragments and teeth, push back the origin of our species.210,000 years ago: While most early human finds spark some scholarly debate, few reach the level of the Apidima skull fragment, in southern Greece, which may be more than 200,000 years old and might possibly representthe earliest modern human fossil discovered outside of Africa.195,000 years ago: A fossil known as the "Omo remains" is found in Ethiopia. These remains represent some of the earliest Homo sapiens individuals, indicating the presence of modern humans in East Africa.177,000 to 194,000 years ago: A jawbone found inside a collapsed cave on the slopes of Mount Carmel, Israel, reveals that modern humans dwelt there, alongside the Mediterranean.160,000years ago:Skulls of two adults and a child at Herto, Ethiopia, were classified as the subspecies Homo sapiens idaltu because of slight morphological differences including larger size.130,000 years ago: The Skhul and Qafzeh hominins, found in Israel, are among the earliest Homo sapiens fossils discovered outside of Africa. These remains provide evidence of the migration of early humans beyond the African continent.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homosapien Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Denny:The First Hybrid Hominin HALABELLA 2023-06-23 | Romeo and Juliet may be history’s most enduring pair of star-crossed lovers, but they certainly weren’t the first to fall for a supposedly off-limits partner.Some 90,000 years before William Shakespeare first brought the warring Capulets and Montagues to life, two hominins overcame what seems like an insurmountable obstacle—one was a Neanderthal, the other an entirely different species known as the Denisovan—to create a thriving interspecies family.This was found from a discovery of a fossil from Siberia of a young female which they called Denisova 11 and later got the name Denny. Denny's remains came in 2010 when scientists found a small fragment of a finger bone in the Denisova Cave. Denny was estimated to have died at a very young age at around 13 years old and was laid to rest in a cave perched along the remote Altai Mountain range.Denny, also known as Denisova 11, is an ancient human individual whose remains were discovered in Denisova Cave, Siberia, Russia. Belonging to a group known as the Denisovans, Denny provides a fascinating glimpse into a distinct and elusive branch of human evolutionary history. Her discovery has shed light on the genetic diversity, migration patterns, and interbreeding that characterized our ancient past. In this video, we will explore the significance of Denny's fossil and the valuable insights it has provided into the enigmatic world of the Denisovans. According to The New York Times’ Carl Zimmer, scientists first identified the Denisovan species in 2010, when they found a bone fragment representing a previously unknown group of early humans. Although the Denisovans are distinct from Neanderthals and modern humans, researchers know little about their appearance or behaviour. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #denisovansHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Tabun Cave: A Window Into The World Of Neanderthals HALABELLA 2023-06-05 | Tabun Cave, located on Mount Carmel in Israel, is an important archaeological site that has provided significant insights into the Neanderthals, an extinct human species. Excavations at Tabun Cave have uncovered a wealth of Neanderthal fossils and artifacts, shedding light on their behaviour and way of life. One of the most noteworthy discoveries from the cave is the Tabun 1 skeleton, a partial Neanderthal specimen found in 1929 by Dorothy Garrod. Artifacts discovered in a long sequence of deposits at this site document patterns of change in stone-tool manufacture during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic periods. This record has become the reference scale for human technological evolution in southwestern Asia between 300,000 and 50,000–100,000 years ago. From 1929 to 1934 Tabūn also yielded a series of fossil remains from the Lower and Middle Paleolithic. The fossils suggest that Neanderthals and early modern humans alternately occupied the region.This discovery has been instrumental in expanding our understanding of Neanderthals in the Levant region.The fossil named Tabun 1 or also known as the "Tabun C1" belongs to a Neanderthal individual and is one of the most complete Neanderthal specimens found in the Levant region and dates back to around 120,000 years ago.The Tabun C1 skeleton was concluded to be of a female and consisted of a partial skull, lower jaw, several vertebrae, ribs, arm and leg bones, and other skeletal fragments. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #neanderthal Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The First Homo Sapiens In Europe Had Recent Neanderthal Ancestors HALABELLA 2023-05-29 | Hey guys! Welcome back to our channel. If you have followed us long enough you would know that we make videos on our ancestors and this one is another one on our ancestral cousins, the Neanderthal and you would be surprised to know that the analysis of the jawbone of a man who lived about 40,000 years ago reveals the closest direct descendant of a Neanderthal who mated with a modern human.Modern humans evolved in Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago but did not migrate into Europe until around 45,000 years ago. At that time, Neanderthals were already living in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, where they coexisted with modern humans for thousands of years. Two studies of the genome of the earliest known humans in Europe have found evidence of interbreeding with Neanderthals.One female genome from Zlatýkůň, Czechia, at 40,000 years old and three genomes from Bulgaria at 42,000-46,000 years old show that Neanderthal interbreeding occurred only a few generations back. The Bulgarian individuals are ancestral to modern populations in the region, showing Neanderthal admixture and continuous human presence in Eurasia.Just when and where our ancestors bred with their now-extinct cousins, however, has been tricky to pin down until now. A new study published in the journal Nature has the highest percentage of Neanderthal DNA of any modern human ever studied.Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig said that they could hardly believe that they were lucky enough to hit upon an individual like this.All present-day humans who have their roots outside sub-Saharan Africa carry 1 to 3 percent Neanderthal DNA in their genomes. Until now, researchers thought it most likely that early humans coming from Africa mixed with Neanderthals in the Middle East around 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, before spreading into Asia, Europe and the rest of the world. Neanderthals then became extinct about 40,000 years ago.#ancienthumans #neanderthal al #homosapien Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Oldest Homo sapien From Africa HALABELLA 2023-05-16 | Only eight sites in Africa have yielded possible early anatomically modern Homo sapiens fossils from the late Middle Pleistocene. Most of these have considerable age uncertainty or debatable Homo sapiens apomorphy. The most widely accepted fossils that are interpreted as possessing unequivocal modern cranial apomorphies that is, a tall cranial vault and a chin and classified as Homo sapiens are two Ethiopian finds namely the Omo 1 and Herto specimens.We have spoken of the Herto Man in our previous videos, so in this video, we will be talking about the Omo 1 fossil. Accordingly, the evidence that constrains their ages assumes particular importance but is a topic of considerable geochronological controversy. The Omo I remains were discovered in the late 1960s in the lower Omo valley of southern Ethiopia, at the surface of a siltstone near the top of Member of the Omo-Kibish Formation.In another eon, the Omo Kibish Formation of southwestern Ethiopia was home to several species of ancient humans. Our distant ancestors had plenty of reason to settle in what was then a fertile volcanic rift valley. Rainfall collected in lakes provided easy access to food and fresh water. Meanwhile, excavations from Omo Kibish show that the volcanic rock found throughout the region was an excellent material for toolmaking. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #homosapien Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Reason Behind The Extinction Of Homo Erectus HALABELLA 2023-05-03 | Homo erectus, the first to ever migrate out of Africa extending across Asia and Europe andlived throughout the Pleistocene period from about 1.9 million to 143,000 years ago. By this time, the cranial capacity had increased and they may have been the first kinds to use rafts to cross oceans.The reasons for the extinction of Homo erectus have been the subject of much debate among scientists, and several hypotheses have been proposed.The extinction of Homo erectus was a major event in human evolution. This species was the longest-lived relative of our own species, first evolving in Africa and according to new dating of fossils from Java, Indonesia, Homo erectus persisted in this region until around 108,000 to 117,000 years ago. For comparison, our own species, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa only about 300,000 years ago. The new dates from Java confirm that Homo erectus overlapped in time with our species - but went extinct before modern humans arrived in southeast Asia, where the last population of Homo erectus is thought to have lived.One of the most widely accepted hypotheses for the extinction of Homo erectus is that it was due to competition with other hominid species. During the Middle Pleistocene epoch, several other hominid species, such as Homo heidelbergensis, emerged and began to compete with Homo erectus for resources. Homo erectus may have been outcompeted by these other hominids, which were better adapted to the changing environmental conditions of the time.One other research indicates that Homo erectus likely went extinct due to climate change. Researchers said that Homo erectus was found with a collection of animal fossils that lived in an open woodland environment similar to the environment in Africa where it evolved. The environment at Ngandong changed, and the open woodland was replaced by a rainforest. No Homo erectus fossils are found after the environment changed, so they likely were unable to adapt to this new rainforest environment.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homoerectusHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Artistic Genius Of Our Ancestors: Exploring The First Cave Paintings HALABELLA 2023-04-22 | The first cave paintings are some of the most remarkable and mysterious artifacts of human history. Dating back tens of thousands of years, these paintings offer a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of our ancient ancestors, and reveal the deep and enduring human impulse to create art and express ourselves through visual media.Most examples of cave art have been found in France and in Spain, but a few are also known in Portugal, England, Italy, Romania, Germany, Russia, and Indonesia. The total number of known decorated sites is about 400.Believe it or not, the earliest cave paintings were created by our cousins, the Neanderthals. Our ancestors used natural materials like hematite and charcoal to create images of animals, people, and symbols on the walls of caves. These paintings were often located in remote and inaccessible places, and they were created with a remarkable degree of skill and attention to detail.For many years, these paintings remained shrouded in mystery and speculation. Archaeologists and art historians could only guess at their meaning and purpose, and they struggled to understand the techniques and tools used to create them.However, recent advances in technology and scientific research have shed new light on these ancient artworks. We now know that many of these paintings were created over a period of tens of thousands of years, and that they were often used for religious, spiritual, or practical purposes.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #cavepainting Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Homo Sapiens: The Amazing Evolutionary Journey Of Modern Humans HALABELLA 2023-04-14 | Homo sapiens, or anatomically modern humans, are the only surviving members of the Homo genus and the only species of human that still exist today. The evolutionary journey of modern humans spans over 300,000 years, and during this time, our species has undergone significant biological, cultural, and technological changes. From the emergence of the first Homo sapiens to the development of agriculture and the rise of civilizations, the story of human evolution is a fascinating and complex one.From our earliest primate ancestors to the emergence of modern humans, the hominid family tree has seen many branches and extinctions. Yet, it is the evolution of Homo sapiens, that has had the most profound impact on the world we live in today.Over time, these early humans developed unique physical and cognitive abilities that allowed them to adapt to changing environments and survive in diverse habitats. With the development of sophisticated tools and the use of fire, early humans were able to expand their range and occupy new territories.Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa and began to settle in Asia, Europe, and eventually the Americas. This marked the beginning of the global expansion of our species, which would eventually lead to the rise of civilizations and the development of complex societies.The development of language, art, and culture was a key factor in the success of early humans. By communicating through language and creating art, early humans were able to pass on knowledge and ideas from generation to generation, leading to the development of agriculture and the beginning of human history.In this video, we will explore the incredible journey of Homo sapiens, from the emergence of the first modern humans to the present day. The long evolutionary journey that created modern humans began with a single step—or more accurately—with the ability to walk on two legs. One of our earliest-known ancestors, Sahelanthropus, began the slow transition from ape-like movement some six million years ago, but Homo sapiens wouldn’t show up for more than five million years. During that long interim, a menagerie of different human species lived, evolved and died out, intermingling and sometimes interbreeding along the way. As time went on, their bodies changed, as did their brains and their ability to think, as seen in their tools and technologies. According to researchers who have had a lot of experience and dug a whole lot of fossils, H. sapiens originated in Africa, although not necessarily in a single time and place.It seems that diverse groups of human ancestors lived in habitable regions around Africa, evolving physically and culturally in relative isolation, until climate driven changes to African landscapes spurred them to intermittently mix and swap everything from genes to tool techniques. Eventually, this process gave rise to the unique genetic makeup of modern humans.#ancienthumans #humanevolution #homosapien Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Search For Human Fossils In India: Challenges And Opportunities HALABELLA 2023-03-31 | The Indian subcontinent contains one of the richest and continuous records of hominin behaviour. This evidence is found in diverse palaeoecological settings and temporal contexts (particularly in India), reflecting the successful adaptive strategies of South Asian hominins during the Pleistocene. But, why aren’t there more fossils from India?Parth Chauhan, research associate with US-based non-profit Stone Age Institute, and with the anthropology department at Indiana University, US say that in some regions presence of fossils depends on preservation conditions such as soil chemistry and erosion rates. In other regions, either enough systematic survey has not been done or potential hominid fossil material has been overlooked. In India, palaeoanthropology or study of human origins is also in a very neglected state, he says.Developmental projects such as dams on the Narmada, mining and oil drilling activities, intensive agriculture and population pressure have taken a toll on fossil study. “Hundreds of paleoanthropological and stone age sites are getting destroyed across the subcontinent,” says Chauhan.India is definitely holding in more fossils than you can imagine but despite this significance, the subcontinent has received only marginal academic attention and, until recently, its behavioural record was not considered in general human evolutionary syntheses. #ancienthumans #humanevolution #humanfossilsHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Timeline Of Neanderthal Fossil Discoveries HALABELLA 2023-03-22 | For a long time, Neanderthals were described as less intelligent relatives of today’s humans. Today we know that they were intelligent, skilled toolmakers and resourceful hunters, but much is still unknown. Whatever we know about them, we have learnt from the fossils discovered. There have been many Neanderthal fossil discoveries over the years. Here is a list of some of the most important ones:Engis Skull (1829) - One of the first Neanderthal fossils discovered, found in a cave in Belgium.Forbes' Quarry (1848) - A partial skull found in Gibraltar, which was the first Neanderthal fossil discovered outside of Belgium.Neander Valley (1856) - The site where the type specimen of Homo neanderthalensis (the first recognized Neanderthal specimen) was discovered in Germany.Goyet Cave (1867) - A site in Belgium where several Neanderthal fossils were found, as well as evidence of early human use of fire.Krapina site (1899-1905) - Numerous Neanderthal fossils found in a cave in Croatia, including over 800 bones and fragments.La Chapelle-aux-Saints (1908) - A nearly complete Neanderthal skeleton found in France, which was one of the first to be extensively studied.Le Moustier (1908) - A site in France where a partial Neanderthal skull was found, as well as numerous stone tools.La Ferrassie (1909-1913) - A site in southwestern France where five nearly complete Neanderthal skeletons were found, including three adults, a child, and an infant.#ancienthumans #neanderthals #humanevolution Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Nicaraguas Ancient Footprints: A Window into Prehistoric Human Migration HALABELLA 2023-03-15 | Nicaragua has been the site of several significant discoveries of ancient human footprints, which have provided important insights into the history and evolution of human ancestors in the Americas. The footprints found in Nicaragua date back thousands of years and are among the oldest and best-preserved human footprints ever discovered in the region. These footprints were named The Acahualinca footprints.So, what exactly is the Huellas de Acahualinca archaeological site? Back in 1874, a group of workers on the edge of Lake Managua came across a number of footprints imprinted on the ground. The United States medical doctor and archaeological collector, Earl Flint, brought the footprints to the attention of the international science community and media in 1884.The Carnegie Institution of Washington began the first scientific analysis and excavations of the area in 1941 and 1942. After researchers from the Carnegie Institute studied the footprints, they came to the conclusion that they dated back some 6000 years and that they were made by a group of up to 15-20 people.They were dubbed the oldest human footprints discovered on the American continents. The tracks are said to be the petrified footprints of a group of Paleo-Indians who were walking to collect water or food. Whilst there were animal prints in the same ground, they were not traveling with the people. The footprints were well conserved due to volcanic activity in the area#ancienthumans #footprints #humanevolution Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

An Insight Into Modern Human Evolution HALABELLA 2023-03-03 | When it comes to evolution, one of the most frequently asked question is, have we stopped evolving. Well, before I answer that for you, let me tell you that there is no way that we can stop evolution.The only way to truly stop any biological organism from evolving is extinction. So, the answer is no, we have not stopped evolving.Evolution is an ongoing and slow process that occurs over long periods of time, driven by genetic mutations and natural selection. While modern humans may have different lifestyles and environments than our ancestors did, our genetic makeup is still subject to change.However, the rate of evolution may have slowed down due to factors such as advances in medicine and technology, which have reduced the impact of natural selection. For example, people with genetic disorders or diseases that would have previously prevented them from surviving and reproducing can now be treated and live long lives. This means that their genetic traits are not being removed from the gene pool as they would have been in the past.Additionally, human populations are now more interconnected than ever before, which reduces the chances of genetic diversity between populations. This can result in reduced selective pressures and slower rates of evolution. But even if the rate of human evolution has slowed down, our genetic makeup is still subject to change due to mutations, gene flow between populations, and other factors. In particular, genetic differences between human populations are rapidly diminishing and individual heterozygosity is increasing, with beneficial health effects.Since genetic variation is the raw material of all evolutionary change, prolonged small population size can severely diminish, but not completely eliminate, the ability of a population to evolve. However, this is certainly not the situation with humans. Our population size has been increasing over the last 10,000 years, and is now so large that the current human gene pool contains an immense reservoir of genetic variation.Hence, our evolutionary potential has never been higher.#ancienthumans #humanevolution Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Solo man or Homo erectus soloensis HALABELLA 2023-02-26 | Solo man or Homo erectus soloensis is a prehistoric human known from 11 fossil skulls (without facial skeletons) and 2 leg-bone fragments that were recovered from terraces of the Solo River at Ngandong, Java, in 1931–32by Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald. The fossils found were the only known specimens of this anomalous hominid that were retrieved from sites along the Bengawan Solo River, on the Indonesian island of Java. The remains are also commonly referred to as Ngandong, after the village near where they were first recovered.Their cranial capacity of 1,150–1,300 cubic centimetresoverlap with that of modern man. The skulls are flattened in profile, with thick bones and heavy brow ridges forming a torus, and the limb bones are indistinguishable from those of modern man. When discovered, skull bases were broken, indicating that the heads may have been taken as trophies and the brains eaten. Solo Man, was formerly classified as Homo sapiens soloensis but is now regarded as a subspecies of the extinct hominin, Homo erectus. Solo man has alsobeen thought to date to the Late Pleistocenepossibly during the last glaciation about 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, but his age remains uncertain. Solo man’s resemblance to Java man and Peking man has led some scholars to consider him a late example of Homo erectus in Asia#ancienthumans #homoerectus #soloman Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

How Do Scientists Determine Past Climates HALABELLA 2023-02-13 | In most of our previous videos, we have discussed past climates or the climate during the time of our ancestors and we know that the climates during that time varied greatly depending on the location and the time period. For example, we have been taught that during the early stages of human evolution in Africa, the climate was generally warm and wet, with large forests and grasslands providing a hospitable environment for early human populations. However, as early humans began to migrate out of Africa and into other parts of the world, they encountered a wide range of different climates, including colder, drier conditions in some regions and more tropical climates in others.All this knowledge is truly overwhelming but do some of you ask, how we know all this when we have never walked the earth during their time. Well, it is all thanks to our great researchers and scientists. Scientists use a variety of methods to reconstruct past climates and we are here to let you in on some of the most popular techniques and study they conduct to make us understand past climates and to give us knowledge on what the ground or the weather was like during the time of our ancestors. This is a brief video so here we go:Paleoclimatology: This involves studying proxy data, such as tree rings, ice cores, ocean and lake sediments, and coral reefs, which provide information about past temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and other climatic conditions.#ancienthumans #climatechange #ancientclimateHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Footprints in the Sand Of The Arabian Peninsula HALABELLA 2023-02-08 | Footprints are interesting right? They always have something to tell us or always reveal something we have never known before. Well, here is another one. Scientists say that a uniquely preserved prehistoric mudhole could hold the oldest-ever human footprints on the Arabian Peninsula. With the footprints dating back all the wayto 112,000 years, we can say that during that time, a few humans wandered along the shore of an ancient lake in what is now the Nefud Desert in Saudi Arabia and left us their mark. Why they were there is a question that will remain unanswered. They may have paused for a drink of fresh water or to track herds of elephants, wild asses, and camels that were trampling the mudflats. Within hours of passing through though, the humans' and animals' footprints dried out and eventually fossilized.Researchers say that at a glance, these marks don't seem particularly impressive, so much so that a team of scientists surveying the region almost passed them by in 2017. But upon further examination, the team realized that the depressions were left by an array of ancient animals, and among them were traces of our own species, Homo sapiens.The footprints lie near another lake where the team recently uncovered a finger bone dating to some 90,000 years old that may also be H. sapiens.These ancient footsteps offer rare evidence of when and where early humans once inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. #ancienthumans #ancientfootprints #footprints Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

El Sidron: Largest Collection of Neanderthal fossils In Europe HALABELLA 2023-01-27 | El Sidrón is a karst cave located in the Asturias region of northern Spain. This cave system stretches into the adjacent hillside at a length of approximately 2.5 miles or 3.7 km, with a large central hall approximately 650 ft or 200 mlong.In this cave, the skeletal remains of a group of 13 Neanderthals were discovered.Through dental investigations, it was suggested that the individuals identified at El Sidrón include seven adults, three adolescents between 12 and 15 years of age, two juveniles between 5 and 9 years of age, and one infant. All of the human remains found at the site were recovered within a single deposit, called Stratum III and analysis of mitochondrial DNA supports the hypothesis that the 13 individuals represent a family group although some scientists do not agree.The part of the cave containing Neanderthal fossils is called the Ossuary Gallery.The Ossuary Gallery also known as Galería del Osario in Spanish is a small lateral gallery, discovered in 1994 by cave explorers, who stumbled across human remains and named it assuming it was a deliberate burial.At first, the bones were believed to date to the Spanish Civil War. Back then, Republican fighters used the cave as a hide-out. The police discovered more bone fragments in El Sidrón, which they sent to forensic scientists, who determined that the bones did not belong to soldiers, or even to modern humans. They were the remains of Neanderthals who died 50,000 years ago.Looking at the bones can be a bit unsettling, and not just because they’re remnants of an extinct species of archaic humans but because these Neanderthal bone fragments belonged to individuals who were the victims of cannibalism.#ancienthumans #neanderthals #elsidronHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Stone Tools Found in India Show New Stone Age Timeline HALABELLA 2023-01-09 | New evidence suggests that a Middle Paleolithic culture was present in India around 385,000 years ago, roughly the same time that it is known to have developed in Africa and Europe. Interesting right? Around 2010, researchers have discovered a set of ancient stone tools, from an excavation site in Tamil Nadu, which show that the Middle Paleolithic or Stone Age occurred in India 385,000 years ago, much earlier than conventionally presumed for South Asia. The stone tools, found at a site in Attirampakkam in Chennai, are sophisticated blades chipped from chunks of quartz -- a tool-making technique called Levallois that was previously thought to have come in India about 125,000 years ago. But, the tool-making style indicated the gradual disuse of bifaces, the predominance of small tools, the appearance of distinctive and diverse Levallois flake and point strategies, and the blade component. All these highlights a notable shift away from the preceding Acheulian large-flake technologies, mainly the Acheulian hand axe, used by the hominins-members of Homo erectus or similar who left Africa more than 1.7 million years ago.“These findings spark a new debate about the origins of the Indian Middle Paleolithic culture,” according to Shanti Pappu. The timeline of human history has been, and is, constructed by piecing together evidence from genetic, anthropological and archaeological studies. Among the various types of artefacts, stone tools provide the more concrete evidence of the whereabouts of our ancestors as they journeyed through space and in time.At the beginning of the Stone Age, early hominins used simple stone tools to gather food from trees and for hunting. As our species evolved and developed abstract thinking, our tool-making technology became more sophisticated. Gradually, modern humans in Africa found new ways of shaping rocks into useful instruments.#ancienthumans #stonetools #india Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Did Humans Evolve in a Straight Line? HALABELLA 2022-12-30 | Did humans evolve in straight line? This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to human evolution. What do you think? Well, we did not. Human evolution, like evolution in other species, did not proceed in a straight line. Yet images abound that suggest otherwise. From museum displays to editorial cartoons, even in some of the images in our videos, evolution is depicted as a linear progression from primitive to advanced.Instead, a diversity of species diverged from common ancestors, like branches on a bush. Evolutionarybiology does not imply linear progression, modern species do not morph into othermodern species, and evolution is not the outcome of some mystical force. Our species, Homo sapiens, is the only survivor. But there were many times in the past when several early human species lived at the same time.Modern evolutionary theory has three basic concepts, modern species existing today have descended from pre-existing ancestralspecies, during this process single evolutionary lineages have repeatedly split intomultiple lineages and the primary force driving evolutionary change is a mechanism that Darwinlabeled “natural selection.”#ancienthumans #evolution #fossil Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

How Do Scientists Determine An Individual’s Age At Death? HALABELLA 2022-12-20 | We have spoken of many ancestral burials and many fossils found. How they died, when they died and even at what age they died. Have you ever wondered though, how the age of the individuals that have passed were determined? Well, if you were curious about that, we have answers for you.First feature that gives scientists a hint of the individuals age are the teeth. If fossils finds include teeth than it makes the work of the scientists just a teeny bit easier because teeth can tell us how old individuals were when they died, especially if they died young. This is because teeth appear in a certain sequence and at particular ages.We know that our first deciduous ‘milk teeth’ or ‘baby teeth’ begin to appear at around six months of age. These gradually fall out during childhood about the age of 6 and are replaced by permanent or ‘adult teeth’. All our teeth appear in a certain sequence and each type of tooth appears at a particular age. For example,when we talk about baby teeth, lateral incisor appear at about 6-11 months of age, canine at about 16-20 months and first molar about 10-16 months.And for our adult teeth, the ages at which they appear are central incisor at about 6-8 years, lateral incisor 7-9 years, canine 9-12 years, first premolar 10-12 years and so on. So, most of the information about an individual’s age is gathered by looking at the types of teeth visible above the jaw surface or the gum line. That is the first step of examination. Additional information comes from examining the degree of root development deep within the jawbone#ancienthumans #fossil #agedetermination#ancienthumans #neanderthals #footprints Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Neanderthal Footprints In France | Largest Neanderthal Footprint Discovery HALABELLA 2022-12-07 | Neanderthals are amongst the most recently departed. The long-stigmatized theory of Neanderthals was that they were cave men, hunter gatherers and all that is the opposite of us. But as we learned more about them, we realized that they were actually more like us. Turns out, Neanderthals were culturally and socially complex beings who also interbred with humans for thousands of years. Through the different studies conducted, we came to know that they usually travelled in groups and the discovery that we are going to discuss todaysupports this social behavior of these ancestors of ours heavily. Scientists have found hundreds of perfectly preserved footprints, providing evidence that Neanderthals walked the Normandy coast in France and in groups.The tracks were discovered by archaeologists working at a site called Le Rozel on the country’s northwestern shore. Carefully brushing away layers of sand, the scientists found 257 footprints between 2012 and 2017. The team described the collection in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The prints suggest a group of 10-13 individuals, mostly children and adolescents, were on the shoreline 80,000 years ago.Jérémy Duveau, a co-author of a study, said the prints were left in muddy soil and quickly preserved by wind-driven sand.Each of the footprints was photographed and modelled in three dimensions. Casts were taken of a few of them using an elastomer, which is less rigid than plaster. Many of the prints were lifted from the site to be preserved elsewhere and those that were not extracted were destroyed by the wind.#ancienthumans #neanderthals #footprints Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Burial in Taramsa Hill HALABELLA 2022-11-10 | Taramsa Hill, near Qena in Upper Egypt, is an isolated landform, situated some 2.5 km south-east of the Dandara temple and when humans left Africa to spread out across the world 100,000 years ago, they probably passed through the Nile Valley of Egypt. A Belgian archeological team has found the skeleton of a child in the Nile Valley of southern Egypt that may be as much as 55,000 years old. For hundreds of thousands of years, humans and more ancient hominids visited Taramsa to make stone tools, and Pierre Vermeersch from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgiumhad been tracking the progress of this industry. People apparently never settled at Taramsa Hill, they merely trekked through on a regular basis, so Vermeersch wasn't expecting to find any human remains.During a visit to the site, while surveying the Taramsa area for other extractionsites in March 1994, a heavily weathered skull was discovered in a collapsing ancient trench section. They decided to excavate the find immediately in order to prevent it from being destroyed further. During the excavation, other skeletal components in their anatomical position were discovered. #ancienthumans #ancientburials #humanspeciesHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

How Did Our Ancestors Cross Oceans ? HALABELLA 2022-10-12 | When we talk about migration, many of us wonder if our ancestors only migrated through land or didthey cross water bodies too? We all know that our ancestors hopped their way around southeast Asia way before we invented boats. This leaves two possibilities although bizarre in their own ways. One is they either wandered on to chunks of land that became detached and were borne away by winds and ocean currents or they were sophisticated enough to have made primitive rafts.It is something experts are still piecing together, but there’s a growing body of evidence that as humans left Africa and scattered across the globe, they often did so by traversing land bridges that are now underwater, and, in other cases, by crossing oceans.For example, there was no other way they might have gotten to Australia without crossing a water body. There was always ocean between the continent and Asia, from which its early inhabitants apparently came. It may well have been a less daunting passage at times of lower sea levels, however.So, did they just drift on currents hoping to bump into land, or was their navigation more intentional?One study suggested that more than 7,00,000 years ago, early humans floated from Taiwan to the Philippines on large islands that broke off from the mainland.Another study from researchers at the University of Tokyo suggests thatin the case of the ancient migration from Taiwan to the Ryukyu Islands in southwestern Japan, Okinawa, 30,000 years ago, the travel was more intentional.#ancienthumans #humanmigration #neanderthalsHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Willandra Footsteps : Australias Oldest Ancient Human Footprint HALABELLA 2022-10-03 | In relation to human evolution in Australia, we have made a video on the discovery of Mungo Man and Mungo Lady and their relation to the Aboriginals. In this video we will be covering the footprints that our ancestors left in this continent. Mungo National Park in western New South Wales is home to the oldest known cremation in the world - Mungo Lady's remains - and the oldest known ritual burial in the world - Mungo Man's ochre-covered skeleton. Now, its sands have given up another world-class treasure, more than 500 fossilised human footprints, the biggest collection ever found.The shifting sands of time have revealed Australia's earliest human footprints, giving a glimpse of life at the height of the last ice age. In 2003, well-preserved tracks were discovered on the clay pan of Lake Mungo, although some of the local Aboriginal people have stated they knewabout the tracks before this time.There are approximately 700 fossil footprints, 457 of them grouped in a set of 23 tracks. At tens of thousands of years old this find is the largest group of human footprints from the Pleistocene era ever found.Most of these are humanfootprints, although there are some kangarooand emu tracks. These footprints are about20,000 years old, having been left in the last iceage, during the Pleistocene period.Ancient Australians walked across the claypanwhilst it was damp. When it dried it set likeconcrete, preserving their footprints.Archaeologist Dr Matthew Cupper says a young woman by the name of Mary Pappin Junior of the Mutthi Mutthi people found the footprints in August 2003 while exploring the area with team member Professor Steve Webb of Bond University on Queensland's Gold Coast, as part of a project to educate young Aboriginal people in archaeology.Ms Pappin, said walking alongside the footprints was like "walking with a family group today. They're the same people".#ancienthumans #ancientfootprints #oldestfootprintsHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Why Are There Very Few Ancient Burials In Africa? HALABELLA 2022-09-27 | It is unclear when funerary behaviour began, but ancient Homo sapiens and our Neanderthal cousins both practiced it. The oldest apparent Neanderthal burial site is in Israel and dates to about 120,000 years ago and is similar in age to the oldest-known Homo sapiens burials while the oldest burial site in Africa dates to about 78,000 years ago which is the burial site of a child named Mtoto, a fossil and a burial we have described in one of our videos.Archaeologists have found older human burial sites outside Africa. Human remains recovered from burials in the Skhul cave on the slopes of Mount Carmel in Israel and Qafzeh cave near Nazareth are between 90,000 and 130,000 years old. Evidence for funerary practices among Palaeolithic humans and Neanderthals alike remains thin on the ground and that is especially true in Africa. Why is this?This is surprising since Africa is classically considered the birth of biological and cultural modernity, where it may be that scientists simply haven’t looked enough, as much of the continent has yet to be investigated. Climate works against African preservation as well, and different humans in different regions may have practiced different types of mortuary rituals as indeed they still do today.Researcher Pettitt notes that the majority of humans who lived in Pleistocenefrom 2.5 million to 11,700 years agoin Africa or Eurasia are archaeologically invisible.#ancienthumans #ancientburials #burials Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Discovery of a Bone Needle HALABELLA 2022-09-22 | I think we are all familiar with a sewing needle, but have you ever wondered how it came out to look like that? Well, a needle is something that was first invented by our ancestors. The modern embroidery needle, made of combinations of different metals, is just the most recent in a long long history of needle development.The oldest needle we know of dates back around 60,000 years ago: a human-constructed, animal bone needle found in South Africa.A needle made from bird bone and attributed to archaic humans, estimated to be around 50,000 years-oldwas found in Denisova Cave. Other needles made of bone and ivory have been discovered in Slovenia, Liaoning, China, and Russia, dating back to between 45,000 and 30,000 years ago.They were probably made using a tool made of stone, splinters of hard long bones were cut out and trimmed to make a rough needle-like shape. They were then meticulously ground and polished so they were the right shape and were very smooth. The delicate eye would have been made by very carefully drilling into the bone from both sides. The thread they used was probably made of sinew which is a fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone or they may have used hair.#ancienthumans #originofneedle #embroidery Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

The Jaws of Our Ancestors (Re-upload) HALABELLA 2022-09-18 | Did you know that the lower jawbone or mandible is the strongest bone in the human skulland that the jaw bone is the only double hinged bone in our body? There are many more interesting facts about the human jaw but today we shall see how our jaws evolved. As our ancestors evolved, their jaws and teeth changed in many ways and many believed that the jaws were shaped by diet.About seven million years ago our early ancestors had long jaws which resulted in projecting face profiles and as time went by, teeth became smaller, shorter and relatively blunt. This made the face more vertical and forced the side rows of teeth to bend into a rounded arc shape. By 250,000 years ago, our direct ancestors had very short and broad jaws and had developed a pointed chin for added strength which is the reason faces are now vertical rather than projecting.Hunter-gatherers needed big, strong jaws to chew the uncooked vegetables and meat that made up their menu most of the time. With the evolution process, our ancestors had a softer diet, consuming cooked foods like beans and cereals that didn’t demand such a high level of mouth strength. So, let us see how our jaws have changed with time#ancienthumans #australopithecus #ancientjawsHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Australopithecus Deyiremeda | The Most Recent Australopithecus Species Discovery HALABELLA 2022-09-15 | In 2011, an international team of scientists, led by Curator of Physical Anthropology Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, has discovered a 3.3 to 3.5 million-year-old human ancestor species and they say that a new relative joins “Lucy”. This discovery was announced in May, 2015. Fossils in the discovery included upper and lower jaw fossils and have been assigned to the new species Australopithecus deyiremeda.The species name “deyiremeda” means “close relative” in the language spoken by the Afar people. These fossils were recovered from the Woranso-Mille area of the Afar region of Ethiopia.You may be wondering why scientists say that find is a relative of lucy’s. This is because Lucy’s species lived from 3.85 million years ago to 2.95 million years ago, overlapping in time with the new species.This is evidence that more than one species existed together.While fossils in nearby Chad and Kenya have previously raised questions of co-existing hominins, Australopithecus deyiremeda is a particularly interesting case because it means that not only did some species co-exist, they were very close neighbors.We know that members of our own genus Homo overlapped with each other as our branch of the family tree narrowed toward modern humanity. But it's generally thought that species diversity was unique to the genus, with ones that came before only sustaining one man-like species at a time. The new species, which was identified using a partial jaw found in Ethiopia, is the first conclusive evidence otherwise.#australopithecus #ancienthumans #humanancestorHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Paranthropus vs Autralopithecus HALABELLA 2022-09-12 | A genus is a class of things that have common characteristics and that can be divided into subordinate kinds. In archaeology, there is a reason why certain fossils are kept in a specific genus. It is because of the certain trails and physical features that they share.In the field of human evolution there is a genus called Paranthropus and another called Australopithecus besides many others and today we are going to tell you the difference between them.Ok, so if you have been dying to find out the difference between the paranthropines and the australopithecines, you have come to the right place. The differences we are going to list here will be generalized because even within a genus there are several species and amongst them there are a few differences as well. But if you want to dig deeper and want to know about the different species that fall under these genus, then you can always check out our individual videos on them. Now, the main difference between Paranthropus and Australopithecus is that Paranthropus is more robust whereas Australopithecus is more gracile.#ancienthumans #australopithecus #paranthropus Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Top Lethal Tools Our Ancestors Used HALABELLA 2022-09-08 | The survival of our ancestors was mostly based on their ability to hunt and as hunter gatherers strength was not all that, they needed tools to help them hunt animals especially for the preys that were not easy. As evolution took its course, brains also evolved and with that, the ability to think and so stone tools became sharper and more dangerous and lethal. Many archaeologists assumedthat it took a lot more time and effort to make these multicomponent implements than to make a simple, untipped wooden spear, but the result was a deadlier means of dispatching prey. Let us take a look at some of thesharp-edgedtools that our ancestors used. Hammerstones: Early humans in East Africa used hammerstones to strike stone cores and produce sharp flakes. For more than 2 million years, early humans used these tools to cut, pound, crush, and access new foodsincluding meat from large animals.They might not be sharp but one hit from a hammerstone though could cause some serious injuries. #stonetools #ancienthumans #stoneweapons Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Mtoto | Panga ya Saidi - Ancient Human Burial Rituals HALABELLA 2022-09-05 | In 2013 a team of researchers discovered a pit-like structure some 10 feet below the present floor of a cave in Kenya.In 2017, archaeologists uncovered the top of a bundle of bones in this cave in Kenya called Panga ya Saidi. What they found after proper research was the fossil of a 3 year old child that was buried in a very peculiar way. This find was announced in November, 2021and scientists nicknamed the child ‘Mtoto’ which means ‘child’ in Kiswahili. Mtoto’s grave was found in Panga ya Saidi, a massive cave system sprawled along an escarpment paralleling the Kenyan coast. The system has been under excavation since 2010 by a team led by the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. While some human burials in the Middle East and Europe are older, the find in Africa provides one of the earliest unequivocal examples anywhere of a body interred in a pit prepared for that purpose and covered with earth.From the way the child was buried, scientists say that someone gave it a farewell.This 3-year-old child who died around 78,000 years ago is the oldest known burial in Africa. The remains were so fragile that a block of sediment around the bones was extracted intact and sent to the National Research Centre on Human Evolution in Spain, where a painstaking forensic investigation took place.#ancienthumans #ancientburialritual #burialsitesHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Stone Tools Unlock secrets Of Early Man HALABELLA 2022-09-02 | The making of stone tools is a characteristic that archaeologists use to define what is human.One wintry day, two keen fossil collectorsfound a flint beneath a cliff. It didn't look like much, but it turned out to be evidence for the earliest humans in Britain. They found a total of 32 flint tools in a fossil-rich seam at Pakefield. They say it represents the earliest unequivocal evidence of human activity in northern Europe.Late in 2001, Paul Durbidge and Bob Mutch hit the jackpot: during an excavation, they found a small flint flake. To any other lay man, it's just a chip of stone, the sort of thing you might remove out of your sandal. But the two friends saw it for what it was: a diamond amid dross. That little chip of flint had been shaped by the hand of one of the very first Europeans.After dating the tools to 7,00,000 years ago, this new research shows early humans were living in Britain around 700,000 years ago, substantially earlier than had previously been thoughtpushing back the date of arrival of early humans in northern Europe by 200,000 years.Until this find, it was thought that humans arrived in northern Europe 500,000 years ago, after archaeologists unearthed a shin bone and two incisor teeth along with a number of flint tools at Boxgrove in southern England.#stonetools #earlieststonetoolsHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Ancient Neanderthal Footprints Discovered In the Spanish Coast HALABELLA 2022-08-30 | A footprint on the ground is much more than a mark. It can reveal information about what or who left it, what it was doing at that time, what the environment was like, where it was wandering, its weight, its size and its habits.Sometime between March and April of 2021, a paper was published announcing that two biologists discovered neanderthal footprints while strolling along the beach at Matalascañas, in Doñana National Park in June 2020. These Neanderthals left these footprints about 100,000 years ago along the coast of what is now southern Spain, leaving behind footprints as they padded through the sand.Many millennia later, the footprints the group left in the sand were discovered by a group of paleontologists examining nearby fossilized animal tracks and researchers studying these fossilized footfalls say that some were left by a youngster “jumping irregularly as though dancing.” Altogether 87 neanderthal footprints were found.They were only recently revealed due to recent heavy rains in the area. Prior evidence showed that the area was once an inland watering hole.The researchers used special equipment to scan the prints and determine their size, depth, and owners. The researchers were able to identify the prints as belonging to Neanderthals based on the anatomy of the footprints as well as knowledge about the successive inhabitants of prehistoric Spain.#ancienthumans #ancientfootprints #neanderthalfootprintHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Letimela: The Child Of Darkness (Homo naledi ) HALABELLA 2022-08-27 | In 2013, two cavers Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker, exploring the Rising Star cave system near Johannesburg, which is the single richest fossil site of its kind ever found in Africa, discovered a tiny-brained species with shoulders and a torso like an ape’s, but with some unshakably humanlike features as well and they named the species Homo naledi, after the Sesotho word for star.This species has been estimated to have existed between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago in South Africa.The dating of these fossils was quite unofficial though and many mysteries surround Homo naledi, including how the remains got into the caves. The team who recovered the fossils came to be known as the Underground Astronauts, due to the extremely tight spaces they needed to crawl through to access the fossil chamber.In 2017, a skull fossil of a child likely belonging to this extinct specieswas found but it wasn’t until November 4th, 2021, that this discovery was announced.They called the skull "Leti," short for "Letimela," or "Lost One" in the Setswana language of South Africa. The child, likely aged between 4 and 6 years old at the time of their death. The fossilized remains include 28 skull fragments and six teeth, which were reconstructed by a team of experts led by Professor Lee Berger from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.#ancienthumans #homonaledi #humanspeciesHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Narmada Man - ONE OF INDIAS OLDEST HUMAN ANCESTOR HALABELLA 2022-08-24 | So, in our other videos we have spoken of different fossils found from all different places of the globe but we have not discussed a single fossil from India. In this video, we will be talking about a fossil found in India known as Narmada Man later known as the Narmada Human.On December 5th, 1982, geologist Arun Sonakia discovered one of the earliest known fossil of a human ancestor from South Asia in Hathnora Village, Madhya Pradesh on the banks of the Narmada. It turned out to be the most tantalising fossil discovery of a human ancestor. Narmada Human was the discovery of the century.The discovery not only put India on the world fossil map, it proved the presence of early humans in the subcontinent and filled a void in our knowledge about human evolution. Sonakia puts the age of the fossil at 500,000 to 600,000 years ago on the basis of associated fauna and say that it belonged to the species Homo erectus. The discoverer of the fossil says that the individual may have been 25-30 years old. The fossil find included a skull cap with a little of the orbital roof. Antiquity of fossils has always been controversial. Some think the Narmada fossil may belong to the late Homo erectus category. Many believe the fossil could be of a female.Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Fascinating Finds of our Human Ancestors in 2021 HALABELLA 2022-08-21 | Our human ancestors and relatives lived tens of thousands to millions of years ago, and we still have much to learn about their existence and abilities.The year 2021 has been a year of progress in the field of human evolution research. Researchers investigated all kinds of clues, including ancient skulls that shed light on the evolution of Homo brains, bones from previously unknown Homo species, ancient art and even fossilized footprints that revealed a number of surprising news.In this video, we are going to describe the most important finds of the year 2021.1.Dragon man: The fossil dubbed Dragon man or as some might know it as Homo longiwas found years ago, but only came to the attention of scientists more recently.The mosaic combination of primitive and more modern features of this skull, sets itself apart from all the other species of human and believed that it was powerfully built and rugged. If you want to know more on this find, do check out our video we made entirely on Dragon Man.2. Early humans had ape-like brains: For decades, scientists had thought modern humanlike organization of brain structures evolved soon after the human lineage Homo arose roughly 2.8 million years ago. But an analysis conducted on April, 2021 of fossilized human skulls that retain imprints of the brains they once held now suggests such brain development occurred much later.Even after ancient humans took their first steps out of Africa, they still unexpectedly may have possessed brains more like those of great apes than modern humans#earlyhumandiscoveries #ancienthumanfinds

A footprint is a really good, unequivocal data point and they tell their own tales without any cloud storageNew scientific research conducted by archaeologists has uncovered what they believe are the oldest known human footprints in North America.When the ground was wet enough at certain times of the year, the ghostly footprints would appear on the otherwise blank earth, only to disappear again when it dried out.David Bustos heard about the “ghost tracks” when he first went to White Sands National Park in New Mexico to work as a wildlife scientist in 2005.It wasn’t until over 10 years later, in 2016, that scientists confirmed that the ghost tracks had been made by real people and it’s only now that some of the ancient footprints at White Sands have been dated as the earliest in North America.#ancienthumanfootprints #northamericanfootprints Halabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .

Thiscavern has been excavated numerous times since the 1820s by some of the United Kingdom's most famous archaeologists.In 1927 a group of excavators unearthed the most exciting find ever found in Kents Cavern. A jaw fragment and three teeth were discovered and are now known to be the oldest find of a modern human in North-West Europe. This mandible was given the name KC4 jaw. Over the years, researchers have debated whether the fossil was that of a modern human or a Neandertal, as well as how old it was. It was not until 1989, that radiometric dating was applied to the KC4 jaw fragment, providing an age of 30,900 years. A few other faunal bones, including one of aWoolly Rhino provided an age of 37,000 years. But the faunal bones were found about a meter higher up in the stratigraphic sequence. More work was needed to be done to clarify why the older faunal remains were found above the KC4 maxilla. Scientist still argue on the age of the fossil but what they all agree on is that one bad date can rewrite the entire prehistory of our species in Europe.In the same year of 1989, scientists at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit attempted to directly date the bone and came up with an age of approximately 35,000 years. #kentscavern #homosapienHalabella II - youtube.com/channel/UCeB3nO2sMkuvPTD7MKja5ygMerch - youtube.com/channel/UCzT0u6iEmBk-OPCPIO9teUA/storeCell it - youtube.com/channel/UC9K4wXpPnALVp_0ESsnzwMgInstagram - halabella01Subscribe guys to support us .
