Say hello to The Evolution of Us — the series I’ve been dreaming about creating, where seven million years of human history play out across four hours of the story of, well… us.
From the earliest known hominins to the ghost populations hiding in your DNA today, this is the complete story of human evolution as we know it. Every major chapter covered Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, Paranthropus, the entire genus Homo, our sister species the Neanderthals and Denisovans, the origins of art, language, and religion, and the mysterious ghost populations only detectable through ancient DNA. Buckle up. Nature never gives it to you straight.
Oh! And I wrote a book, so definitely make sure to grab it—Epic Earth out now!

Darwin was wrong and those scientists tend to be anti women and part of a WS cult so survival of the whatever your racist myths said? Do you know how many history YouTubers are just here spreading nazi propaganda?

I grew up on a farm, and moved to the woods of AK, and then went out into the world, but I’ve always struggled to view human evolution at the same level of personal interest as animals… I’m watching bc if I have to learn humans for the sake of politics might as well be from Lindsay Nikole Ty queen

No, you can only get a family tree that round in Alabama or Bavaria, or probably Florida.

And bonobos resolve their disputes through sex; that would be a conflict resolution tactic that humanity should adopt, especially in Japan; it might increase the birth rate.

I love this stick! If you want to learn more about the brilliant people, who made this brilliant stick (yes, I think of hominins as people), check out @LindsayNikole
Modt of you probably already know her but in the off chance, that you don’t, her „evolution of us“ series gives you tons of info o. homo neanderthalensis & h. heidelbergensis as well as their extended family and a just great overview. Plus if you like Milo‘s style, I‘m willing to bet my dessert that you‘ll like hers too.

A scenario I imagine: we destroy ourselves in a nuclear war. Isolated uncontacted tribes that are far enough away from the madness, survive and live on. They start the process over again, as they repopulate the world and adapt to it's current condition. Then POOF millions of years later, they are evolved into a different more intelligent species of hominids who are digging us up and trying to understand us. They're minds absolutely melt when they realize who we were and what we accomplished. We've documented ourselves in so much detail that that would be able to better understand themselves in a way we could never understand ourselves…they still can't find the missing link😂😂😂
