What Life Was Like 100,000 Years Ago? | 6 Kinds of Humans and Their Lives

Video Description

What was life like 100,000 years ago… when 6 different kinds of humans shared the planet? In this longform Sleepless Homo documentary, we travel back into the Ice Age world - a time when Neanderthals hunted across Europe, Denisovans thrived in Asia, and tiny humans like Homo floresiensis and Homo luzonensis lived on remote islands. On Java, the last Homo erectus still endured, while in Africa our own species - Homo sapiens - was just beginning to spread. This is not the story of one humanity, but of many. We’ll explore their tools, diets, rituals, and survival strategies, and confront the haunting question: if you stood there one hundred thousand years ago… would you know who survives? 🕯️ The story of humanity… told softly. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 : 00:00 - The Time Window Opens 11:10 - The Cold Frame of the World 21:39 - The Other Earthlings 31:48 - Ghost of the Giants 39:52 - The Megafauna That Watched Them 48:47 - First Footsteps Beyond Africa 56:04 - Inside Africa’s Experiments 1:04:53 - Blombos and the Painted Shell 1:14:13 - Spears for the Rivers 1:24:48 - The First Burials 1:34:01 - The Neanderthal Zone 1:42:30 - Rituals of Talon and Bone 1:50:19 - Denisovans in the Shadows 1:58:21 - Erectus on Borrowed Time 2:07:01 - The Hobbit People 2:15:37 - The Island Puzzle of Luzon 2:23:54 - The Diets That Diverged 2:33:22 - Fire, Resin, and Heat-Treated Stone 2:42:16 - Clashes and Crossroads 2:50:01 - The Ones Already Gone 2:58:23 - The Last Question Before Us ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 📌 Calm science, evolutionary psychology, no hype, no speculation - just what we know so far.
