First Human Species, Homo Habilis | Ancient Handy Man

Показать описание

The Homo genus started approximately 2.3 million years ago when a new species evolved and was distinctly different from the Australopithecines that used to roam the African continent.
This is the start of the lineage that eventually led to us all, us Homo sapiens sapiens, modern humans.
But who was this species? What did they look like? What can we uncover about the way they lived?
Homo Habilis, the very first species in the Homo genus, the origin of all of us.
The remains of Homo Habilis were discovered at the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, this is one of the very most important palaeoanthropological locations in the entire world, the Gorge has played such a key significant role in our understanding of the early human evolution.
45 kilometres south of the Gorge are the Laetoli footprints located, which are amongst the oldest fossilized footprints ever discovered.
The Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania is located in the East of Africa, this is where some of the very oldest fossils ever discovered have been found, like for instance the Laetoli Canine belonging to Australopithecus Afarensis dating to 3.5 million years ago.

Finally a teacher you can actually listen and learn from. Smart and stunning.

Kayleigh, you may NOT be a credentialed paleontologist or physical anthropologist, but you ARE a most excellent scholar and a very engaging teacher. You don't pretend to know more than you do, but you conduct vigorous research, collate the information you collect, and organize it for dissemination. You then accurately and concisely present what you have learned, emphasizing the points which are most critical, which you find most interesting, and/or which you think your audience will find most interesting or useful. You are an AMAZING scholar, and one of the finest conveyors of interesting information concerning human history, prehistory, and cultural, on YouTube (I know -- I've looked around). If you continue on your current scholarly trajectory I predict you will one day have a half-million subscribers, or more, and will probably lead a small team to create content for your channel. Keep it up -- you don't need a PhD in Anthropology or History to be a great teacher; you just need discipline, humility, persistence, enthusiasm, and a desire to share and grow. You seem to have all of this in ample quantity. Again, you are an EXCELLENT scholar and teacher! Well done!

1.2K likes and zero dislikes? In YouTube land? Now THAT is impressive, you are definitely doing something right.

A bit of comic relief about 17:08 "the stone tools that they created were simple and crude". My college history department had a summer 'practical archeology' course excavating flint knapping areas, with a display case of beautifully made, knapped arrowheads/blades, along with the knapping cores and chips they had collected.
On the bottom shelf was a display of broken and cracked rocks, showing the BEST results of prior student's extra-credit attempts to actually MAKE a stone arrowhead by knapping stone.
So, it helps to remember that 99 out of 100 university students could not replicate those "primitive" tools...

KayLeigh, You show more scholarship and scholarly traits than many who have the degrees, but have lost the hunger for knowledge you radiate. You teach in the Ancient Greek tradition. Though Damn the Internet is a very long Log. Sorry When you discount your skills or value, somebody from the cheap seats has to correct your only serious fault. Being an Ocean away from Harvard or M.I.T. just keeps you out of our nasty winters, away from our terrible drivers, and out of our dirty subways. Of course, it denies us a beauty greater than our Boston Common and Public Garden combined, but one cannot have everything. This is the Age of the Internet. We can get all your cold facts by the ton. You give use ideas and learning lit by your love of it and your brilliant understanding. Your details are sifted like gold bearing sands, but it is the tapestry of facts, details and tales which makes your work uniquely come alive. God cherish and bless you.

Kayleigh, I appreciate your work and your honesty. Your work and research is extensive. You always impress me with what you find and your own personal interpretation of the data. You dont have to have a PHD to gather knowledge and share what you have found and what your perssonal interpretation is. I love that you gather info, present the information gathered then give your views on the data. But you leave things open (as any scientist should) and let others make their own oponions based in the data presented. Excellent work! Keep it up and I will continue to follow and support. All the best to you. We need more people in the world that are as logical and honest as you are.

Thank you, interesting and entertaining. And most appreciatively, the cat will behave while one of the Kayleigh videos is running. Makes it much easier to set in front of the TV and have a snack.

You're fantastic! You'll be getting offers to make globe-trotting documentaries in no time. Good luck!
