Human Evolution: The Complete Story Of Our Existence

In this special documentary, we follow mankind's journey of life from the first cell all the way to present day. Based on archaeological findings, we trace our journey back to the first spark of life, billions of years ago, up until present day in which humans are the most successful species on the planet. We, as humans, are at the top of the chain of species that have survived by the way of evolution, natural selection, adaptation and pure luck. This is the story of the incredible set of circumstances that led to human existence.

This documentary aims to answer several questions including; how did we get here? How did mutations create the different sexes? And were we actually fish at one point during our evolution? Join us as we wind the clock backwards and follow the story of how we got to be us.

Every time I watch this, I deeply question war, racism, hate and everything that rips people apart. The chances of us all being here is almost 0 and yet we fight over stupid things....My brain just cant comprehend or process hate towards others

We survived multiple extinctions just so I can pay taxes

I remember watching this years ago as a kid in class, being absolutely facisnated, completely starstruck. Now I'm about to go to university to study human evolution in a few months, and dedicate my life to help progress this search for missing fossil evidence in any way I can. Thank you for making this video and inspiring me. I'm so glad it got reuploaded so I could find it again

I remember watching this video years back. I'm glad YouTube recommended it.

And here I am in 2024 wondering how I am so lucky to be born in the USA at this time to an easy life where my needs are so easily met. For most of human history most people have had it very hard.

Damn, our ancient ancestors were water worms, fish, lizards and rodents. I will forever look at these species differently.

We humans first lived in one place and from there we moved to every corner of the world. We humans started getting separated from other humans and then we developed new languages ​​and today if we meet, we are hating each other. Modern technology has brought us together again but there is a lot of hatred in today's times. Today humans have become divided into many cultures and religions, this was not the case earlier.

Anyone who thinks it incredulous that we came from a fish, remember that you yourself were once just a sperm that transformed slowly in to a grown up human.

I remember watching this 8 years ago when it was first named, "Mankind Rising: Where do Humans Come From".
This is still great, even with the outdated special effects!

[MitchellHackling]

this video deserves more likes it was amazing it taught me alot of things

[ElGatoChingon]

This animation killing me. This complex and serious concept and it turns into blockbuster action 😂😂

[happilysecular]

Clueless creatard cliche number ninety: Evolution is based on random chance

Reality: Evolution is based on natural selection. SELECTION is the exact opposite of RANDOM.

Yet from this 550 billion years, the camera man refuses to die 😂

The rock music cover when our ancestor realized the potential of fire 🔥

[daverobinson]

We have evolved to this point yet humans still want to wage war on eachother. When will the day come when we live with one another in harmony. The truth is we don't need religion of any kind we just need to love one another, that's the world I want to live in.
Each and everyone of you no matter what country or continent you come from are my brothers and sisters and I love everyone one of you.

00:10 why is Tom Cruise just standing there?

[CharlesBrown-dscg]

One of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time.

[rouzbeh]

What a great video ! And for free. Absolutely well done incredible

[summerguy]

An astounding account of how it all happened. It's amazing how many times we escaped vanishing into oblivion. The concept of "working together" is no small factor of our survival. If we don't get that right, it will all be for nothing!

This makes so much more sense than an ancient book that claims everything was created in 6 days 6, 000 years ago!
