Ancient Humans Hunted Unbelievable Prey



#history #ancienthuman #archaeology #realarchaeology

Olorgesailie, in southern Kenya, offers a glimpse into the lives of Homo erectus around 1 million to 300,000 years ago. This site is rich in Acheulean tools and fossilized remains of Theropithecus oswaldi, a giant baboon. Evidence suggests that Homo erectus used these tools to hunt the baboons, likely employing cooperative strategies to ambush their prey. The site highlights the technological and social skills of Homo erectus in adapting to their environment.

  1. I have to ask what do you think the other 'people' are that mated with the West Sub Saharan Africans around 43,000 years ago and your thoughts on Iho Eleru with supposed dating of 13,500 years ago. What is going on here did a super archaic lineage live on well into modern times and Sub Saharan Africans are up to 19% of that lineage?.

  2. Theropithecus Oswaldi was a grazing herbivore with a diet similar to modern day Gelada. I think there is some pretty inaccurate info in this video. You may have confused different Old world monkey species. It is theorized that they went extinct because of homo erectus but they were not some kind of fierce predator like your video implies.

  3. It’s quite interesting the connection between human and animal. I am about to take a Zooarchaeology class this semester and it’s quite interesting the idea of how humans and our ancestors treated animals, even while hunting or in death, especially concerning bone assemblages or how the bones were cut etc. Excellent video made me think!

  4. Hunting (not only for traditions and historical reasons) speacilly for population species management, integration of the territories of natural reserves with the lifes of local populationsn, and as food source should actually not only be allowed but way more incentivized in way more countries… were the ecodumb ongmoneystealing policies are placed nowdays.
