It might sound a little cold to say, but it's probably a good thing that the other hominids went extinct. Imagine a separate species of humanoid surviving well into the Agricultural Age, perhaps even past the Bronze Age. A brief glimpse at human history shows how many groups of people would do horrific things to their fellow humans just because they were labeled as "the other". Consider how they would have treated a group whose humanity was a little more ambiguous.

Just to think that we may have inadvertently made ourselves a super species by hybridizing and it's even possible we get some of the things we think of as human from them, like art and religion!

I've always been so fascinated with learning more and more about are prehistoric ancestors since I was a small kid of 7 or 8, when my mom bought me some Time Life books on both our evolution as well as dinosaurs, you know those old large hardback books from the 60s and 70s? Now I am so grateful for the internet, especially sites and KZitem channels devoted to such subjects. One of my favorite channels is Gutsick Gibbon, who's real name is Erika, who is actually a PhD student in Biological Anthropology, and has a Masters of Research degree in Primate Biology, Behavior and Conservation with a BSA in Pre-Professional Animal Science and minors in Anthropology and in Biology. And she describes things in a more simple way, so even if you don't understand all the scientific talk normally, you likely will have no trouble understanding her. She also has a way about her that makes her fun to watch and listen to. She also gets into debunking Young Earth Creationism and Flat Earthers, from time to time! I frankly think with some recent discoveries about our ancient ancestors or more importantly, finding that our primate ancestors may not have started out in Africa, well our very early ones that is, that maybe started evolving outside of Africa, but went back, if the primates really began in Africa that is, it's possible some didn't, meaning they may have started out just outside of Africa, then went to Africa and continued to evolved or they went out of Africa and started changing then, but then went back to finish, so to speak! There is so much new info coming out, we may get a big surprise someday. I also thing one day it will be found that there was a lot more human non modern human related homosapians then just the Neanderthals and Denisovans, meaning people who were as advanced physically like them and us at the time! I know we used to think that many of the more ape like looking ones were long since extinct by the time we and the Neanderthals popped up, but then we found proof that wasn't the case. There were probably a lot of slightly different versions of most of those we know of around at the same time as the ones we know. Like the Australopithecus line, it turns out there a lot more of them that were around, then the few we thought back when I was a kid, back when those books I mentioned were written! They now say there were something like 7 or 8 different species, but with other similar ones branching out of that even! I do hope I live long enough for us to discover most if not all, and I get to hear about it too that is, lol!

So a theory that's been bouncing around my head for a bit, is it a possibility that the feeling we get from the "uncanny valley" effect is due to our ancestors running into a human like hominid that was very likely similar to us but either highly aggressive/cannibalistic? It might be why we perceive anything with the uncanny valley with chills and a deep rooted feeling of uneasiness and fear.

The fact there was lots of interbreeding unfortunately doesn't necessarily entail we were on good terms with them. It's generally thought we fought each other a lot and sometimes we were nice to each other too. But a lot of interbreeding likely was rape from raiding, capturing or opportunistic finds. I still reckon we did likely fight a lot and interact nicely but I'd imagine a lot of the interbreeding didn't occur during those non-aggressive cultural exchange get-togethers. There likely wouldn't have been any shame over it back then, it was merely an ordeal, an assault and if a female survived then she just survived, she had offspring and said offspring got raised by her and her group.

Yep, sadly an all too common aspect of human competition and expansion is the use of sexual violence against conquered women. We see again and again in genetics where Y-DNA from invading/migrating men often replaces that of local men while the mt-DNA of local women tends to continue. And we know from modern history that this is all too often the result of violence rather than willing partnerships.

Finding remains of a species on an island does not automatically equate to traveling by sea. Remember that at many times in the past, mass glaciation resulted in greatly lowered sea and ocean levels, making it possible for people to just walk to these places. They wouldn't even have thought of them as islands. During the last glacial maximum, much of southeast Asia, including the islands of Indonesia and Malaysia were part of a huge landmass that we now call Sundaland. In their normal nomadic movements, they would have spread all over this landmass.

Big fan of the channel. While not a scientist but a lawyer, I am very interested in this topic. I am always amazed how Anthropologists can somehow ascertain things such as percentage of body hair and population densities from such a small amount of recovered material. Color me a skeptic. While I would not include the Naledi (sp?), I consider most of the "species" discussed to be as human as you and I. The ability not to fear and to control fire is a characteristic no animal has. It is only humans who can do this feat. Scientist seek to divide people into dna or morphological (spell checked that one) categories for whatever reason but I would wager you could teach everyone of them to drive a car. I also always enjoy hearing the theory that we became so smart because we ate cooked meat. While I am not so sure about this premise, it is always fun to note how the majority of the scientific community readily accepts this glaring exception to the theory of evolution. Thanks for the videos.
