  1. Apparently, P. robustus was omnivorous like us, but P. boisei was purely herbivorous.

  2.  @Noname-67  I'm still hoping we'll find a fully aquatic spinosaurid someday, just because that would be really cool.

  3. There simply weren't that many Neanderthals, and they got absorbed into the more numerous Homo sapiens population.

  4. To put it in fantasy terms, Neanderthals are the dwarfs, and we're the elves.

  5.  @ryuukatamura  It looks like what we thought Spinosaurus looked like a decade ago.

  6.  @eldavid8774  They didn't have the concept of "species" yet. What evidence we have of interactions between the groups indicates they recognized each other as human. When early modern humans first came out of Africa and met Neanderthals, it would've probably been about the same as when two different African tribes or two different Neanderthal tribes met each other. Seeing as Neanderthals had also encountered Denisovans and possibly other types of humans we don't know about yet, this wouldn't even have been that new to them.

  7. Only some of the current Southeast Asian islands were part of Sundaland. Even when sea levels were at their lowest, getting so Sahul and some of the other islands that were detached from both land masses required ancient humans to cross the sea. So humans were already building boats 65,000 years ago.

  8. So...why haven't nautiloids expanded back out of their current range into any of the other parts of the ocean that have no seals, like the Indian Ocean and the central Pacific?

  9. The problem is, that next major cooling is thousands of years in the future.

  10. Yes it was.

  11. I keep thinking "derpanosaur".

  12. Sea levels were already rising as the glaciers melted.

  13. In other words, all humans start out as assholes. And most never progress past that point.

  14. Trying to pretend it's surprising that beer could be the oldest beverage? Really, there's nothing less surprising.

  15. Calling the sphenodontians lizard-like isn't really accurate. It's more that lizards are sphenodontian-like.

  16. The giant waterfall wasn't at the Strait of Gibraltar, it was at the Strait of Sicily.

  17. So basically...if not for the Deccan Traps, we could've had some non-avian dinosaurs survive the asteroid impact by being on the other side of the world.

  18.  @kerryrus  No mention of it because in this particular case, temperature didn't go up first.

  19. 1:48 Slightly larger? Very few of the cats I've had were ever as small as the average African wildcat.

  20. 1:20 Spinosaurus says hi.

  21. 5:57 I have to admit, the idea of Dickinsonia roiding up for the gym is pretty amusing.

  22. If you weren't an island, there probably never would've been such a thing as "British people". All of the migrations that shaped European history and demographics would've played out completely differently if Britain was still physically attached to the continent.
