Thanks for making this accessible to the public, and for taking the time to explain it to people outside the field. I found this fascinating.

This was just breathtaking. The amount of research, analysis, and effort that goes into this kind of finding is stunning. All the time, we find the history of homo sapiens is far more complex than many ever thought it could be.

This was a really interesting talk - I wish it had been longer, actually! Thank you for sharing this with us out here in YTland. 😊

Superb ! Another set of such carefully worked through evidence to upend even recent hypotheses about how early Homo Sapiens moved out of Africa. Such a fascinating and ever changing story.

From the title i thought i would get more of an overview, not just a concentration on findings from one cave. Perhaps videos could be titled more specifically?

When modern human ancestors evolved in Africa what was their physical appearance? Was there one appearance or did appearances vary depending on what part of Africa they evolved in?

Have been trying to find out if there is a way to find out what people in Africa is the closest to the rest of the population in the world. Who were the small group comprised of? That is what I would want to know!

So what was different between the early modern homo of 200k and the modern homo of 60k? Critical change that makes us really human?

So an African walked out of Africa bare foot and made it to Europe. Somehow the bone structure, skin, eye color, and hair all changed? Why don’t we all have the same blood type?

We left Africa? Ah I must have been asleep…, no wonder it is so cold outside..

Sounds improbable. I am not an Anthropologist, but some don't agree with this theory
