  1.  @dffndjdjd  how passive aggressive! The author of the channel never implied that experts in the field are "dumber" or anything like it

  3. As a person who cannot stand temperature above 30C, it is unliveable wasteland to me personally)

  4.  @idontwantto8103  food of people in other places also didn't just "grow by itself", you know. Especially in cases when they needed to grow enough to survive the winter

  5. Actually even in wild teosinte the similarities exist - the grain shape in somewhat similar to maize more so than to other grasses. It is the number and arrangement of grains which differs

  6. Watching this only days after I have seen that one of best preserved fundaments of pre-war buildings near our summer house is being destroyed because they are building more summer houses in the area 😢 I am still depressed, so many memories of that place

  7.  @mrbaab5932  rather we should make patents on medicines and vaccines illegal. Because people shouldn't be denied medical treatment just cause they cannot pay. Medicine should be accessible to everyone

  8. And coffee grows in Guatemala, even though it originated in Africa

  9. Polynesians didn't exist that long ago! Obviously, other people before them also used canoes

  10. Ugh, followers of different types of Abrahamic Yahweh-cult really tend to exaggerate the importance of one ancient tribe from the Middle East

  11.  @raymondgaines4315  isn't that exactly the proof that it is rapid?

  12. Polynesia was settled only 5 k years ago, before that there were only Melanesians, and they settled only some islands very close to New Guinea and Australia
    6
  13. Polynesia wasn't settled itself until 5000 years ago. Which was much much later than settlement if the Americas. Polynesians are a subset of Austronesians, a group, which originated in Taiwan and then populated South East Asia, and only after that, The Pacific islands. The only people more ancient than them were Melanesians, who populated New Guinea, Australia and several groups of islands in the West Pacific, but didn't settle on far away islands

  14. They mean "Classic Mayan civilization", that is the one that collapsed. There was clear instance of abandonment of many Mayan cities of that epoch. Mayan culture continued to exist in another way

  15. While there are attempts of using scientific theories for ideological reasons, that shouldn't lead to blaming the science or denying scientific evidence. Bering strait theory exists not "in order to justify colonisation", it exists because evidence supports it, as for people, who try to use it to justify colonisation, those usually have nothing to do with actual scientists who study it. Any idea that scientists "conspire" to create theories just for ideological reasons is a great example of rampant anti-intellectualism which exists in the USA in general. Needless to say, it is biologically and genetically impossible for different populations, which evolved independently in different places to become one species and interbreed with each, so I would say the existence of >300 million mestizos is a proof enough that humans from the Americas don't have any separate origin from other humans. "Always" is also a curious term. No humans existed "always. Earth is 4 billion years older than humankind. Also, all origin stories of different native nations cannot be true at the same time, because most of them contradict each other a lot.

  16. How can humans arise all over the Earth at the same time? WTF??? No populations can become one species if their origins are separate. That is biologically and genetically impossible

  17.  @jaylenstoudemire5726  you black supremacists are no better than white supremacists 🤦

  18.  @rs5536  nothing, I think. Especially if you are not where I am from. But people here don't care 😑 they think it is not old enough to be considered history. Even though several decades more, and it probably will be. But there are much more ancient and valuable historical buildings destroyed by time and our politicians' greed in my region, and noone who can do anything, cares, and people who care cannot do anything

  19. 12:55 - Bluefish caves date shouldn't be surprising at all, because it is located in the place, which was a part of Beringia, which was obviously settled much earlier than the rest of Americas

  20. Aren't there papers suggesting that not only Amerindians, but also Chukotko-Kamchtkan people (Chukchi, Koryak, Itelmen etc.) descend from Beringians? I remember reading something like that, but it was long ago

  21.  @johnmanno2052  well, popular explanation, including books, documentaries etc. always oversimplified a lot. Even press releases from universities can be inaccurate. I have seen it myself in my own field

  22.  @70stunes71  Do you know what "theory" means in science? It is not a synonym of "hypothesis". Theory can be proven, disproven or neither. General relativity is also a "theory", yet try telling physicists it is not true
    2
  23. No, because natives are more related to Eurasians than Africans. Ancient humans migrated out of Africa by land not by sea, and then populated Eurasia that way and only after that Americas

  24. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the stupid Middle Eastern mythology
    2
  25.  @SolarSystmOfTheAztecs  majority of cultures don't validate it at all. The ones which do tend to be from Middle East. Ancient hebrews borrowed myths from Babylonians, Assyrians and other neighbors

  26. Which islands? There are no islands in close proximity to each other which could connect Australia and South America

  27. She is not "negroid". She is related to modern natives.

  28. The modern one destroys, because of monoculture and lack of field rotation. So artificial fertilizers became a necessary thing. It is also true that most of territory should be left to wild ecosystems, they are necessary for the world

  29. "always" been there? Wtf does that mean? No humans have been "always" anywhere. Earth is 4 billion years older than human species

  30. All non-Africans have 2-2.5% of Neanderthal DNA, plus Melanesians and Tibetans have dome Denisovan. Get your facts straight

  31.  @mikebbarclay4984  "melanated" doesn't tell much. All people have melanin, except albinos, which are rare, and native Amerindians have a lot of melanin, because they are naturally dark brown, just look at some natives in rural Southern Mexico, or at Sioux and Comanche and Navajo people in the USA

  32. Using boats which can navigate rivers or be used to travel parallel to the coast is different from having ones which can directly cross oceans. Example: even most ships of ancient Greeks couldn't be used in the open ocean, even though they were very good to navigate in closed sea basin like Mediterranean and Black seas.

  33. Oh yeah, fictional flood from Middle Eastern mythology! Why should you always force the mythology from a tiny peace of land in Eurasia on a history of totally different continents? Get your religion out of this
    1
  34.  @danmon5  no, there was no worldwide flood and there physically cannot be, there is not enough water. Also, I prefer to read real science, not creationist pseudoscience. Creationist sources openly and clearly lie all the time, yet the gullible followers still believe lol! Do you think T-rex also lived alongside humans? 😆😆😆😆 Or dinosaurs never existed at all? 🤣🤣 Maybe you are one of those, who thinks their skeletons are proof of dragons?

  35. Oh life should have been confusing for simple people, who lived longer than 52 years

  36. Actually, the first time "America" was used in modern way, it was used on a map by German map-maker. That guy has never been in the Americas and probably has never met with anyone, who has been, so it is most likely he just used some European explorer's name, which he happened to hear somewhere. But the exact origin and reasoning will never be known, actually. But it is very very unlikely that he would ever hear any word of origin from native American languages. Simply because some words sound similar in different languages doesn't mean they have the same origin.

  37.  @AncientAmericas  I have also read a book in Russian about different methods of studying the migration to North America. There is some mythological similarity: some Siberian groups and some native American ones have a very specific story about origins of some constellations, which is almost the same, only the details are different. The story is too complex to be simply a chance coincidence.

  38. The migration back and forth between Chukotka and Alaska never stopped. Even during the Cold War they were visiting each other

  39.  @iLL_Eaglez  "just a theory" is a phrase only scientifically illiterate people use. Learn what the word means

  40. Such terminology is used to justify European colonisation and genocide. Do you not see the difference between people who got there >20 k years ago, and developed all their languages, cultures and civilizations right on the spot for millenia, and the people, who came in the last several centuries with pre-existing languages and cultures? If you think those two are the same, you are crazy

  41.  Marduk Sensei  ancient ancestors of all Homo sapiens are equally ancestors of all people, modern black Africans don't have more claim on common ancestors than any other human group. The skin colour and appearance change doesn't mean much
    1
  42.  Marduk Sensei  the most mutations already existed 10 k years ago, Eurasians back then (and thus Amerindians too) already didn't look black, they were somewhat brown
    1
  43.  @truuee9016  Melanesians are more related to other non-Africans than to Africans. They come from the same single out-of Africa migration, which happened 70-100 k years ago as all Eurasians

  44. So much corn that I feel like I almost got an allergic reaction from watching this video 😆

  45. Lol, no, Polynesia was inhabited from 5000 years ago onwards. There were no Polynesians before that

  46. "native" is the term for the population which settled the area the first of all populations

  47. "America" is a landmass of North+South America. The word "America" in the name "United States of America" is the reference to the fact that the country is located on American landmass. That is it. The only real definition of "America" is the landmass. USA =/= America
    1
  48.  @pedrodomingo180  actually no, Darwin wasn't a eugenicist, and his views progressively changed to less and less racist over time. Plus the word "race" in the title refers not to human "races" but to animal and plant variations

  49.  @jaylenstoudemire5726  no humans "came from the cave", fool.
