Video Description:
SUBSCRIBERS -- THIS IS NOT A NEW VIDEO
"Human Ancestry Made Easy" is the only video in my series with some annoying mistakes, so I have edited and corrected it. This is preferable to just running the 'Errata 2' video that some people might miss. I have kept a copy of all the comments if anyone needs it. No need to comment again, but
by all means rate the video if you liked it the first time, and rate it even if you didn't! This video traces our migration out of Africa and explains, through DNA evidence, how humans colonized the world. It is part of the Made Easy series of videos that show the evidence of our origins, from t
he Big Bang onwards. (Music: "Allegretto" by Bond and "The Ballad of Henry Darger" by Natalie Merchant.)

Thanks to soldiers like you, potholer54, I'm sure we will win the war and successfully defend science from assault.

In order to visualize the migration patterns more clearly, it might be better to use a map of the world with Africa on the left, the Pacific in the middle, and the Americas on the right.

umm....yes!! Why do you ask? The mtEve IS NOT the first human like ape. It's just the first one that had the genetic mutation marker in the mtDNA that they traced back...as described in the beginning of the video.

all this video proves is that God made Adam and Eve in Africa.
1 question: how did the native americans learn how to farm if it wasnt necessary for them to survive.

True, but I don't ... ( 1 month ago by puncheex)

True, but I don't think you mean the same Adam and Eve that I would. Peoples learn to farm in one of two ways: they copy it from others who know, or they invent it for themselves. What it takes is observation and some "scientific" guesswork, followed up by experimentation. The video explains it was independently developed at least twice, and probably more than that. American Indians may have developed it here, or may have learned it from later immigrants who carried it from other places.

Plus wildabeest ... ( 1 month ago by anothergazman)

Plus wildabeest despite it not being absolutely necessary for survival, crop farming would certainly make life easier as they would not have to journey far and wide in order to find their desired crops in the wild. And Adam and Eve???? please, lets not started on that that's not what this videos about.

Just to make it ... ( 1 month ago by puncheex)

Just to make it clear what I was saying, I was referring to Mitochondrial Eve and Y-Chromosome Adam (look up articles by those names in wikipedia). Potholer alludes to them in the video, and their existence is a mathematical necessity.

I'm not clear on ... ( 1 month ago by puncheex)

I'm not clear on what you mean by "it (farming) wasn't necessary for them (American Indians) to survive". When climate changes and the food supply in an area decreases, mankind has three choices: move elsewhere (as in Anasazi culture), decrease through war, disease or whatever (as in various Yucatan civilizations) or improve their food technologies - more farming, less hunting is only one possibility. And these have all been hypothesized in various American populations.

Ok but I was referring to that comment before (concerning biblical Adam and Eve). have looked at the wiki entry you mentioned (actually very illuminating thank you)

"All this video ... ( 1 month ago by steevmac)

"All this video proves is that God made Adam & Eve in Africa"... AND that they lived 140,000 years apart. Human mtDNA converges at 200,000 years ago in Mitochondrial Eve. We converge on Y-chromosomnal Adam at 60,000 years ago.

Plus, species ... ( 1 month ago by steevmac)

Plus, species cannot thrive (as WE have) if the population falls to 2 members. There's too little genetic variation. So while Eve was alive there would have been (must have been) other people whose DNA has survived until now, just not in the strictly matrilineal line. Same for Adam. n.b. Because of a severely bottlenecked population over 10,000 years ago, the cheetah has low genetic variability & a 70% mortality rate. See DonExodus's video: "Noah's Ark and the Cheetah" watch?v=rIlWKp44T50

Your argument fails ... ( 1 month ago by marsCubed)

Your argument fails on some important points steevmac. If homo sapiens had a unique origin from other animals, then mtDNA would not be consistent with evolution. From Neanderthal mtDNA we can extrapolate that humans and Neanderthals diverged 600,000 years ago. We can also see ape DNA in agreement with natural selection. On top of this is the fossil record. this is better when it comes to intermediates between later hominids. The same technique is used to connect other species reliably too.

I think we actually ... ( 1 month ago by steevmac)

I think we actually agree, you must've misread my post. My point *was* that we cannot have had a single origin from our ancestor. Our species would never have survived the bottle-neck and the resulting lack of genetic variation. Speciation in all animals is gradual.

ah sorry :) ... ( 1 month ago by marsCubed)

ah sorry :) Interesting to note that Neanderthals had religion, We can figure this out because they bury things with their dead. What they didn't have and what made us different is Art. Religion is like a return to pre human evolution, it is how apes think. It's all about who is the biggest mofo ape. whereas we have the ability to imagine herds of wilder beast.. then imagine how to make it happen. All Neanderthals could do was drop to their knees and beg their ape god. They had no science.
