While I enjoyed the video overall, I found the suggested reasons presented at the end for the causes of the extinction of other hominid species when we survived to be largely based on a view of animal communication and behavior that we now know is archaic and based upon a desire to not anthropomorphize animals that comes from both our lack of understanding and desire to dominate them. In my opinion, of all the options presented, the one most credible is that combined with climate change the pathogens that homo sapiens carried with them helped wipe out the other species. Given that prairie dogs are known to have complex language and they do not have the same vocal capacity we do, and the fact that we don't have a single lower jaw from the denisovan population, we have no idea what in fact their ability to create languages, but, given their brain size and the behavior of animals from many different species it seems logical to deduce that they would have been able to communicate sufficiently to pass information along from generation to generation and to convey things that happened to them. After all prairie dogs can identify color and people by name and when they shout that person's name across their community, the other community knows if this is someone who has been out hunting in the past or someone who feeds them

DNA has proved there are humans and there are apes. That's all there is and humans don't share DNA with apes.
Back in the day we were all told 97% the same, but none of that is true. Today we can test any cell and tell if it is from an ape or human. We also know there are no common ancestors. There is no evolving going on in cells or anything else alive. What we actually have is a decay in the DNA from the generations. Man is a good engineer, but DNA is not. God made man with the ability to create, that isn't in place anywhere else. There were no sets of different humans, DNA proved this. God made it so each one of us has a history and a unique individuality.

A good video, well researched, but I take issue with one item: speech. Recent discoveries show that Neanderthal hyoid and other bone structures were similar to modern humans and would have supported vocalization on a level with modern humans. Whether this was language as we know it or not, Neanderthals do seem to have had both the physical and mental capabilities for speech. Most animals are capable of vocalizing and some animal species possess a remarkable vocabulary among their own kind. It's likely that Neanderthals, given a physical capability to vocalize, would have developed some degree of spoken communication.

I think it's a very interesting coincidence that in traditional fairy tales Giants come from the north were generally described as being ugly like the gods occasionally interbred with humans. Those characteristics lead me to believe that like so much of our myth there is at the core of these stories a colonel of fact because, Denisovans were much larger in stature than modern humans, definitely had facial features that would not be described as classically beautiful among the homo sapien population, and have been found in far Northern Europe and Asia.

As we all came out of Africa, pathogenies is very unlikely to been new to the first upright great ape, there is more for a case of cross-breeding, which would be possible because how close the family tree was from separation, homo-sapiens is more likely cross-bred to be able to make it across the Sarah desert, we do now know for certain that Homo-Sapiens did cross-bred with neatherdral a few bones found in a cave in Siberia of a young female child was a result of cross-bred.

Ive actually referred to idiots as knuckle draggers but that would be insulting my my ancestors they were actually extremely intelligent apparently there were a skull found in the cheddar gorge dated. Around 30000 yrs old and it appeared that the individual was operated on for a head injury a peace of skull was removed to release pressure on the brain the strangest thing they lived for another several years

Neanderthal man was greatly diminshed in East Europe by two events: Black Sea filling up and drowning the hominins there, and the eruption of the Campi Fleggrei supervolcano 40. 000 years ago. The other causes may have played a part. Humans also almost got exterminated. DNA variety of modern humans shows that we are descendants of one male and one female.

We are better off with global warming than another ice age.
The last time we experienced even a minor cooling due to volcanic eruption it greatly enhanced the spread of the plague. Along with the plague, we also had famine to deal with due to crop failure.
People huddled together in their homes with fleas jumping all over.

Another possibility shown at very end was females of the species had pixelated breasts and keeping infants alive on pixelated milk wasnt very successful. Come on prudetube, thats beyond ridiculous. Since when did breasts, or any other body parts become oooohhhh soooo terrible to see! Or is prudetube run by Ken and Barbie?

5: 36 The Thesis that HOMO SAPIENS was the only one able to communikate over Sounds and Words is outdated since more though impropved excavation and conserving methods scientists have figured that even otherr PRE-MODERN Humand species had a LARINX andwere able to forme words and sentences.

I dont think they couldn't have viruses. animals have this 2. then they can also eat rotten meat like these days or not good cooked they could die from a bad cooked kill probably 2. only small groups prevent spreading

An educated guess is still a guess. You cant prove any of this. All you have are fossils. They can give a lot of data but dont tell everything. Instead of just speculating just tell us the facts and leave it at that.

Body snatchers, archaeologist diggers after the flood these fallen angels piggyback life of a man, sons of Cain fathered by Lucifer himself his seed I know who you are Homo sapien caucasians and they're likeness.

What if white people are part of this 6th mass extinction it happens with other animals look at the northern and southern white RHINOS, THIS IS SOMETHING TO AT LEAST THINK ABOUT

I love (eye roll) how we assume all these so-called, human cousins, were ripped. Flawless physiques. Just the idiotic assumptions from a scientific culture of conjecture.

Climate change huh? Those cavemen must have built an AWFUL LOT OF FIRES to melt the glaciers and end the ice age. Maybe it was the cow farts? Not sure.

So there was climate change before we started using fossil fuels - I guess in a few thousand years we'll get blamed when the next Ice Age starts.

Diseases evolve so quickly that it's very unlikely that humans 20k years ago let alone 200k years ago had the same diseases we do today.

It's likely not a single simple cause that lead to other human like species disappearing. It's more likely a combination of factors.
