EXTINKED: Sahelanthropus tchadensis | Ep. 4
Hello! Welcome to the fourth episode of EXTINKED, where I get 5 of my favorite extinct animals tattooed on me by one of my favorite tattoo artists, Angel Rose. Today we’re doing Sahelanthropus tchadensis: the earliest hominin in our lineage, and possibly our common ancestor with chimps…Enjoy!!
A huge thanks to Gian for the fantastic editing!

Lindsay teasing a series on the evolution of us with the first video scheduled at the SAME TIME that i am starting a paleoanthropology module on human evolution in uni feels like fate. Incredibly well done and i keep going back to this episode

If you do do the evolution series,I hope you touch on the lawsuits about teaching them in school. One of the lawyers on the case also did the Dr Sweet trial.

people will literally pay to get poked by a needle a million and a half times but they're SO scared of getting stung by a wasp which hurts not that bad for like an hour tops

"Homo" in science is latim and means "Man" or "Human", "Homo" in "homosexual" is Greek and means "Same". Funny nonetheless.

Homos used to know how to coexist, until sapiens

If we brought this guy back Jurassic Park style, would it be socially acceptable to put him in a zoo?

"History of us" is very fitting. My local museum changed names from "Museum of Man" to "Museum of Us" some years ago.

It's funny to watch you talk about our oldest ancestors (that we know of) while wearing Vessel on your shirt… Given the unbelievable number of science references in Vessel's song writing, I feel like he would definitely approve. My family doesn't even listen to Sleep Token and yet not one of my Sleep Token shirts are safe. My brother in law snatched up one of them, my sister has her eye on the other, and I am now protecting my sixty dollar hoodie like it's my first born. Seeing that shirt you are wearing I guess I get why everyone keeps lifting anything with Vessel or the Take me Back to Eden album artwork on it. 😂
That "Why are you gay?" clip takes me out every time I hear it. I quote it every day in the most inopportune times… lmao It might be the only time homophobia was unintentionally hilarious and I can't even say why it's so funny. It just is. 😂
That tattoo is incredible! I love it!

It's like Lindsay wants to be rockstar and get everyone to love dinosaurs, and her as well.What happened to the dinos though. I just go to extinctzoo now. She's just making money now on our love for dinos.

I wanted to be a primatologist/bioanthropologist at one point in my college career but it didn't work out. So this is right up my alley. SUBSCRIBED.

Maybe that's why we have the uncanny valley stuff? So we could tell if something was one of us or not.

With all those "neighbors" 7 million years ago, I'd learn to walk upright too. And run!!
