It's amazing to see how much has changed in paleoanthropology, and how much we've learned since I was in college fifty years ago.
Great video! Keep them coming.

[bongofury]

as a lifelong lithics collector and researcher I found that really interesting and even I learnt something. your voice is so laid back. made learning seem very relaxed. chill on my man. chill on

[Winteryears]

I'm impressed by your growth in making these pieces. The texture and depth of this particular episode are great and on focus. Good job indeed.

[edligon]

Thanks NORTH 02....we all enjoy your good work.

Your series is simply fantastic. Thank you for the unbiased and factual input you have included in the series. Its unusual to find subjects where all sides are represented equally without favoring one viewpoint over another. Also when you make a statement that is not backed by solid evidence you state it as a possibility not as a fact. Well done you have gained a new fan. I look forward to more from you. Thank you

[jellogirl]

This was one of your best! That's saying a lot because your content is always so well done. Thank you <3

[silo]

I'd like to thank you for making this series and your other videos that I've watched. Especially appreciated is your attention to scientific facts. It must be a very time consuming research process that sets you apart from many other you tube presentations. Please keep up the good work it's very greatly received and incredibly entertaining. Once again thanks.

Adding the first use of controlled fire would have been a great milestone in this video. I love your content!

[lorenzovelasque]

I love your work and I love your voice its really relaxing! Whatever videos you do or if you decide to do new stuff keep at it its all good.

[rubykearns]

Another great video.. I've always had a love of geology and it never ceases to amaze exactly what you said about how tools made of stone look so similar to any old stone! Thanks for your chilled manner of narration, and thorough coverage of your subjects. They make my day 👌

Unlike stone artifacts from the Oldowan era requiring minimal practice or training the Acheulean period was a remarkable breakthrough in that generational knowledge was needed to model such precision knapping techniques. This type of accumulated knowledge strongly suggests verbal communication was used to teach such intricate methods. Excellent video - like button smashed!

[lukeramsay]

Another quality production.
Thank you for your work, it is appreciated 🙂

....and a mighty voice echoed across the world, ' Try banging the rocks together, guys.' The rest is history....

[damianabbate]

Thanks so much for these great videos you've made. My son and i really enjoy spending our evenings watching these. Thanks for taking the time to make them interesting and very soothing to watch.

I enjoy gathering Aterian points. A video on the North African Capsian culture, or the Iberomurasian culture would be interesting.

[Helmann]

Your voice was just awesome! So calm and relaxed 😌
This video is perfect for Winter Solstice day (21 December 2022)

[godfingah]

This video is inspiring and peaceful. Thank you for the work you did.

[RichardKCollins]

Nice view into the past. Wish I had another whole lifetime to spend modeling ancient technology evolution with realistic human characters able to learn and adapt. Or to find and verify all you talked about. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation

[ahrdal]

Thank you for your videos! They are tremendously informative, and give me a perspective of my own life in comparison to what our ancestors have lived through. Also, I truly appreciate each time you explicitly say what is known, what we think we know, what we don't know, and your own best guesses. I am truly grateful for your videos. Last but not least: Your voice is nice and calm, and keep in the short silences between sentences, don't cut them out like many other YouTubers do, it's human, keep them in. Keep up the great work!
