Extinct Animals Encountered by Homo Erectus (ft. ExtinctZoo)

#history #ancienthuman #archaeology

In this video, we’ll explore the fascinating world of extinct animals that roamed alongside Homo erectus. From giant prehistoric elephants to saber-toothed predators, discover the incredible creatures that shaped early human survival and adaptation. Through vivid reconstructions, we’ll dive into how Homo erectus interacted with, hunted, and possibly feared these long-gone beasts. Join us as we journey back in time to witness the lost ecosystems that influenced early human evolution!

Thanks for having me on! The video turned out great!

[jamesdavey]

Judging by that thumbnail, it was also the last thing Erectus ever saw haha!

[believeinpeace]

Thanks!
Because you are appreciative I sent more to assist with your documentaries.

[aimeemorgado]

Excellent presentation without being stuffy or assuming your audience is stupid. Instead it is well researched, visually beautiful, informative and humorous. I love your channel.

[lisaw]

This is the only channel I care to leave notifications on for. Genuinely puts me in a fantastic mood when I see you’ve got another video out

[marygonzalez]

It's 2 bad I can't 'like' EVERY TIME I RERUN you...I find that I learn something that I missed every time! This channel gets better and better each upload-almost like growing up, finishing school, getting married then starting a fam...

[davidparnell]

This is the best channel on YouTube hands down. Makes for better mornings than most. I've learned all I know about this from you man. I knew about "cavemen" but your the one who made me want to know our story. Thank you again North.

[NORTH]

Thanks for joining the premiere if you caught it! If you have anymore questions let me know!

[gridemann]

it's kinda amazing how a group of apes can turn from an easy snack into apex predators by simply picking up pointy sticks

[travisdelafuente]

Wow both of these guys do a video together which I've been waiting to see and I like watching each of their videos since they do terrific videos on prehistoric subjects.

Who else noticed that the image shown at 0:45, of that beast eating a human, is a direct rip off of Francisco Goya's "Saturn Eating His Children"?

Honestly i dont care what your next video is going to be about because i know i will enjoy it! you have such a good voice and beautiful pacing that always makes your videos such a pleasure to watch! i especially enjoy watching while i knit, makes it extra cozy :)

[Gharqad_Defence_Systems]

Your videos are one of my favourite bed time stories.

[rollinthunder]

I absolutely wanna see a movie about how diverse the homo genus used to be.

[gemmabartlett]

Thanks for this video. I love this channel. Id love to play a video game based on this world.

I agree there needs to be actual movies about these things, not just documentaries. I feel like it's a gold mine that the entertainment industry just hasn't hit yet. There are so many interesting stories you could make with their brutal day to day lives. It doesn't even need to be based on a specific specimen. Hell, it would even be cool if they made one and in the second movie its their decendant or something as a different species entirely. Just imagine a movie with no real intelable words but you can tell what is happening through their mood and emotions and feelings forcing the viewers to use another form of communication that we have evolved to understand whats going on ironically, immersing the viewer and causing us to make connections and relate with and to the characters the same way they did.

[KevinGary]

This dude got real potential to be the top YouTuber in his industry borderline is

[franciscoferreira]

You should realy put this videos on spotify as a podcast! I love listening to your videos during the day

Two kinds of evidence point independently to the origin of _Homo ergaster/erectus_ as the time when cooking began. First, anatomical changes related to diet, including the reduction in tooth size and in the flaring of the rib cage, and they fit the theory that the nutritional quality of the diet improved and the food consumed was softer. Second, the loss of traits allowing efficient climbing marked a commitment to sleeping on the ground in half-dome shelters made of branches and twigs that is hard to explain in the African woodlands or savannah without the control of fire.

These are always fun to watch. Thank you!
