I had no idea hashtagging had such a long history.
-
Asking when humans became behaviourally modern feels like the anthropological equivalent of asking when a collection of sand grains becomes a pile of sand...
-
...."Crosshatch pattern", guys.
-
Flutes on the other hand were invented shortly after Uncles, so we could give our nieces and nephews gifts that make noise at 3:00 AM
-
I remember some quote from a lady who claimed she believed one of the first important markers in a peoples advancement was a healed femur. To show that care for another and the ability to collaborate in such a physical manner was essential to the first etchings of a society.
-
When Monoliths taught us we could use bones to break other bones
-
A huge part of 'behaviorally modern' is _learned behavior_, and every bit of that learned behavior had to first be discovered/invented - and probably several different times (and it also took a long time for all that learning to become 'sufficient'). I'm tempted to argue that we had the biology for being 'behaviorally modern' before we crossed the threshold into 'modern behavior'.

Whenever Hank host’s it, it’s a must watch. I watch scishow because of him.
-
A lot of us are still acting like we're still in the caves.
-
Them: These are the earliest evidence of abstract thought - Me: these are the earliest evidence of students doodling in class...
-
4:20 hashtags from 110,00 years ago were the first annoying tweets
-
"hashtag patterns" I know there's better terminology for this.
-
Getting existentialist lately, love it
-
Thank you Patreons!
-
The oldest instruments they found were flutes? Idk but i feel like drums wouldve come about first but since it wouldve been made with animal hide i imagine it broke down long before we couldve unearthed them. Air manipulation seems significantly more complex than smacking a drum.
-
4:04 Adam’s first drawing 😂
-
Hank is the end result of human evolution
-
Well, first you have to ask "where" and "if": it seems that even now not all can make tools, compose meaningful sentences or be artistic beyond hashtagging
-
Never miss the bell! Great video.
-
6:09 the most stock-y of stock videos
