How Will Humans Evolve in the Future? | Evolution Compilation

Human Evolution has come pretty far during our time on Earth. But, do you ever wonder, what humans could evolve to look like 100, 200, or 2,000 years from now? How might we be different? Join Hank and learn what could be possible in this new episode of SciShow! Hosted by Hank Green.

how meta that your compilation of evolution lectures depicts the evolution of hank's style and maturity.

[ryoder]

These compilations of old videos always getting my fascinated by the evolution of Hank's voice, and the evolution of Michael's hair.

[Im-Not-a-Dog]

Seeing Baby Faced Hank progress to Modern Hank is like a journey through personal evolution.

[bobito]

Since human pubic lice are different to head lice but similar to gorilla lice, presumably the "romantic" relations between our ancestors and gorillas took place after hominids lost their body hair (thereby keeping the two species separate and localised. Just thought I'd throw that in there to make the whole thing even creepier.

[Nivek]

lol that's so interesting how hank's presentation of videos has changed over the years. He used to joke much more back then.

[weibie]

Humans picked up what became pubic lice by probably sleeping in and around abandoned gorilla nests. Earlier humans wanted the same fruit resources that other primates also wanted, and would essentially wait their turns to get at them and thereby utilize their old nests because it was convenient to do so.

[jakobraahauge]

Well, this video shows how progress is often a chaotic process and not a simple line - but nevertheless there's been clear progress! Just look at the hair 👀

Also - Hank learned to pronounce Denisovans! Denise - ovanns, remember yo who heard him say DenisÓvans 😜

Happy December y'all! With love from Denmark 🤗

[beaker_guy]

Personally, I wish someone would talk about all the evolutionary pressure humans experience with regard to being able to drive competently ... if we only could get another 2, 000, 000 years of practice, we'd probably get quite good at it. :)

Another trait that evolution took from us is the ability to synthetise vitamin C: several million years with an abundance of the latter in fruits made the fore unneeded.

[marcelogaea]

“… humans don’t need to be smart to survive” is soooo understated 🤣

[georgefleming]

Hank aged (evolved) quite a bit over 4 minutes.

[ConradSpoke]

We have already evolved an organ which spits venom. It's called Twitter.

[saltydude]

4:12 what's weird is that I have been watching for years and think this is the first time I have ever seen you with a beard

[shareika]

To any interested linguist: If you insist on the German pronunciation "Neandertaler": pronounce "Neander-" like "Hey flunder", and the "a" in "-tal" as you would pronounce the "a" in "far".
We do not write the "h" in modern German when refering to the hominid, only the place. The "-er" suffix signifies the hominid as well, meaning "man from Neanderthal"

[jeffmoyer]

I want to spend my afterlife eternity listening to Hank Green, so that one day I will be almost as educated.

[wafikiri_]

14:00 Some light receptors have been identified in human retinae that link to the pineal gland through some basal ganglia and relate to melanin production and to circadian and seasonal rhythms.

[iwontliveinfear]

I love "Dread Pirate Roberts" Hank from video 2.
Also I don't need a 3rd eye to sense the sun with the top of my head, I can feel the heat of the Sun's rays on my scalp.

[ennou]

6:40 our ancestors probably considered other "primates" in a similar way modern pet dogs consider each other breed

[ivytarablair]

I love compliations :D I get set up with snacks and enjoy watching Hank youth and age before my eyes as we recap all the amazing things SciShow has taught us on the subject at hand, over the years :) Compliations FTW!

[Vercopaanir]

Hmm. Goatee Hank is offering some of the most cursed information I’ve ever learned about early humans. Thank you, past Hank.
