Humans vs Superhumans | When Monsters Were Real and We Almost Went Extinct
Added 2024-01-18 22:15:35 +0000 UTCHumans are the apex predator. Not *an* apex predator. *The* apex predator. Other than a handful of bacteria and viruses, there’s pretty much nothing stronger, more intelligent, or more adaptable than Homo sapiens.
Telling the human story from the beginning is difficult.
It was a time when two words defined our world: fear and violence. It was a time when we were *not* the apex predator; we were their prey.
We emerged from our caves during the day. Hoping we wouldn’t be hunted by the monsters in the woods.
So vicious were these monsters they still live in our myths -- and our nightmares. They created a generational trauma embedded into our DNA over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.
These creatures were stronger, faster, and (when it came to combat) more intelligent than we were. It’s a miracle any of us are even here.
This is the story of how modern humans conquered the monsters and won the battle for the world.
But here's the thing: those fearsome monsters defeated by humans? Were other humans.

2025-05-06 19:22:25 +0000 UTCfabulous, love this topic. i’ve recently read that our current form may have been more muttled with contributors than originally thought. thanks for the mini dock.

2025-04-10 12:17:51 +0000 UTCThe volcanic explosion that nearly made us extinct was the Toba explosion, 74,000 years ago. The Cambian explosion was 538 million years ago. Also, Neanderthal is an archaic German word and only the 't' is pronounced, the 'h' is silent. Neandertal is the correct pronunciation. Neanderthals also bred with Denisovans. So, we have a small percentage of at least two, archaic humans.

2024-12-03 21:47:28 +0000 UTCThis is in my top five as an overall episode, and it has my favorite "story time" by far. Great content, per usual, but this one gets the old 'Chef's kiss' from me, my man. 👍👍👊👊
Brian Crowder
2024-06-29 03:19:13 +0000 UTCExcellent episode! The horrors and traumas of the past are still in our psyches and dna. Thank you for covering this topic!
David Parisi
2024-02-26 02:07:53 +0000 UTCAJ - Timeline, Timeline, Timeline. There are so many stories that I think it would be good to do an episode compilation of how things fit into what time. So Anunnaki's and this episode (Same time as each other, before, or after).

Waldemar Haszlakiewicz
2024-01-25 09:19:11 +0000 UTCI have more Neanderthal dna than 98% of folks on 23 and me. I do not have a pronounced brow bone, mildly pronounced canines, but not a monster. There are archeological digs that found humans and Neanderthals cohabitating. So I really have to dig into the content presented in this episode to believe any of it.

2024-01-25 04:27:18 +0000 UTCHumans evolved differing skin colors depending on where they lived and the amount of sunlight they were exposed to. If they had pale skin and were exposed to a lot of sunlight, their bodies produced too much vitamin D and they were unable to reproduce and pass on their pale skin color to their offspring. If they had dark skin and lived in an area with less sunlight, they were unable to absorb enough vitamin D and the deficiency made them sterile, unable to pass on their dark skin color. So that's it. That's all this racism B.S. is...a simple matter of where our ancestors lived on planet Earth. Maybe one day we'll understand the most simple fact of life...we're all Human!
Susan L. Carr
2024-01-25 01:57:06 +0000 UTCI think it is great AJ touches on that at the end of the video. AJ asks the important question: Would neds be redheads or paler due to the location of their territory on the map? Always thought provoking conversation!

2024-01-24 12:16:37 +0000 UTCThis would explain why they found evidence of Neanderthals cohabitating with Homosapiens. It was a chilling episode for sure.

Cb314
2024-01-22 00:01:47 +0000 UTCThanks for the gift. By the way, why are the Neanderthals portrayed as black? If they lived in ice age Europe, they'd be as pasty faced like the rest of us. Is it because black = evil? Not criticizing here, just curious. I love The Why Files and I loved this video just thought it was the most hokey and B.S. laden yet.
Susan L. Carr
2024-01-21 19:22:57 +0000 UTCThis was a truly phenomenal episode. I will definitely have to get my hands on the book now. Great work as always, AJ. Now go and rest your weary head, my friend. :)

2024-01-19 17:56:15 +0000 UTCI have friends who's names are on that list of genuine art theft. While you're not seeing it (maybe that's why there are art directors) there are weird defects with AI that a person like me, who used to make my living as an artist, stand out. The hands used by AI are the worst and that's i understandable. As artists we spent hundreds, maybe thousands of hours ourselves working on drawing and painting hands. The algorithm has a hard time with them while it also has a problem with teeth (also very apparent in the art used). You don't notice that, but from a production standpoint it's pretty glaring to artists and people who know good art (for me it's as bad as constantly mispronouncing words or poor sentence structure). Sorry if that bugs you. Imagine how depressing it is for me to see all the people who don't notice or don't care. The episode is still good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though I may go to just listening.

2024-01-19 17:41:48 +0000 UTCNow this probably my favourite episode yet.
John Lane
2024-01-19 16:58:46 +0000 UTC"Took us as game for his own needs" like it seems 😅 I share the theory that the devious Homo sapiens stole and graped my female ancestors (see myself as a Homo Neanderthal descendant!) and deviously killed the men, a genocide without equal! We shall not forget!
Christian Hetzel 😽
2024-01-19 15:49:49 +0000 UTCI like the Bigfoot theory.
Michael Cuevas
2024-01-19 15:19:38 +0000 UTCDidn’t have a chance to watch till today - another thought provoking episode! I would be interested in seeing a ‘Is Bigfoot Neanderthal’ episode - keep up the good work!

2024-01-19 14:51:47 +0000 UTCLove this ep! One thing not mentioned, our abilities for very long distance running. This would be a massive advantage for survival, especially in hot climates.
Robert Boag
2024-01-19 14:38:11 +0000 UTCIt was said that one would think that Neanderthals and humans would have gotten along as different species. Hell, within our own species in the 20th century alone we butchered over 100 million fellow humans. And we are supposed to be evolving… 🙁
John Battiston
2024-01-19 14:23:38 +0000 UTCA volcano episode would be AWESOME!

Shelby Haag
2024-01-19 11:29:25 +0000 UTCIt had plenty of warnings, would pass lower age rating and was throroughly enjoyable, perhaps when AJ said put the kids to bed somebody should have listened... joking...What you see in the media everday is far more graphic, this was not in any way indecent.
Ben Dover-Nimmo
2024-01-19 11:23:50 +0000 UTCHuh, I didn't actually know a lot that was in this video. Not that during my studies I ever found it covered for more than a mention. but still interesting how basic some misconceptions can be.

rob denton
2024-01-19 09:05:29 +0000 UTCI thoroughly enjoyed this potential horror story of and Neanderthals. I do have a small nitpick: the AI art, impressive as it is and CHEAP as it is is problematic and it ain't just the weird hands the AI struggles so hard to get right. I'm here for the story, not the graphics, but if you feel you need them there are great artworks available with functional hands and other more accurate depictions of the subject matter. Ultimately you're going to do what you need to do. I just wanted to point this out. I also would like to hear more of this idea that Neanderthals are alleged to be Yeti, Bigfoot, et al.

2024-01-19 08:48:06 +0000 UTCThis is one of the most comprehensive summary of human evolution I’ve seen. Nice work as always AJ!

DonnieDarko27
2024-01-19 02:59:42 +0000 UTCTremendous episode as always, thanks! One minor point that doesn't really have much bearing on this story but is worth noting: the 'out of Africa' theory has long since been disproved. Questions in particular started to arise with some important discoveries beginning in the mid-noughties. And since that time there've been many scholarly article, particularly using DNA evidence, that show conclusively that homo sapiens 'originated' from up to as many as five different regions. In fact, it would seem there was more migration into than out of Africa. A great source (and fun read) is anthropologist Robert Sepehr's book, Species with Amnesia, which not only constructs an excellent narrative incorporating these findings, but also contains citations and a detailed bibliography, in case you feel like diving further down that rabbit-hole. Finally, yes, I would love to see an episode on the world-changing volcano! I find all your videos not only hugely entertaining, but absolutely riveting and always informative. Cheers!

2024-01-19 01:20:55 +0000 UTCThis video aside, as grest as it was...as a new patron member I'd like to say...I've been follow AJs channel from its infancy. I remember feeling like I had the "underground scoop on the good shit" saw his transformation over the years. Remember when he had the audacity to ask about removing heckle fish. (Never live that down AJ) sure it's a great channel, you did your thing. But I've recognized your perseverance and keen eye to stand outside the "norm" (dare I sound arrogant) but as I fellow curious, and inilectual mind... this world can feel alienating. Lonely. Boring. Once you've dug so deep into the questions such as "who are we?" "Who am I?" "What is this place" "Quantum mechanics, aliens, god, after death, simulation theory, conciousness, etc etc .God that is a beautiful tree..." And often. There's no one to talk about it to. The why files brings those kind of people together. I've not gotten into the discord and stuff much, but to know there's others out there...real people. Is nice to know.... Thanks AJ 👌 its wholesome to watch.

John Edgeworth
2024-01-19 00:56:48 +0000 UTCI have to believe my theory, that ET used this planet as a zoo, or a place to keep species from the Galaxy that were threatened. The big underground caverns were built by man, but in order to use them they would have to have been lived in and kept stocked for such events as gigantic eruptions. The underground ark's, if ya will, to keep the animals and other foods that kept for long periods. I would go on, I hope you get it. Neanderthals definitely could have been all you said and more, the caverns would have been a safe place because only one huge being could fit as the men killed it and hung the meat up to dry in the sun. Superhuman Jerky on the menu.

2024-01-19 00:16:52 +0000 UTCGreat Episode once again! definitely would like an episode on the italy volcano hadn't heard about that one, let alone its over due for another eruption, would tie well in with the other few super volcanos/fault lines that are long over due, like yellowstone caldera or the cascadia subduction zone. hell i thought i was safe out here in the midwest, but apparently there is a fault line running up the mississippi river that if it goes will take out st louis/ southern Ilinois. .. lol fun times to look forward too!

2024-01-18 23:15:06 +0000 UTCI had an amazing thought one night, wondering if you took the Missing 411 map and compared it to the US cave systems if they would match up, got up at 3am and started researching it and discovered about 1.5 million others had already thought of it. And they do match up very well. Which also makes me wonder why the government over the last 25 years have closed off so many cave entrances around the country, claiming to protect the bats, yea, right, it's always the bats.

2024-01-18 23:13:20 +0000 UTCGreat episode! I think H.G. Wells had this theory of Neanderthal when he wrote about Morlocks in The Time Machine. Ironic because around 85% are Eloi...

Bosco Lemonzit
2024-01-18 23:10:57 +0000 UTCOh man, I cannot believe you left us hanging there at the end, I was expecting the whole damn show to tie Neanderthals into Bigfoot and you do, 'but that is another episode..." GRRRRR Please don't make us wait 6 months for the second part and Neanderthals/Bigfoot. Interesting show though, I'll probably be nervous walking my dog tonite in the cemetery now.

2024-01-18 23:09:41 +0000 UTCWow 🤯 Great Episode!! Absolutely terrifying, you are a great story teller. That part about being around the campfire, nightmare fuel. I definitely want to hear about how Neanderthal’s evolved into big foots. Good Job team! Thank you 😊

2024-01-18 23:09:36 +0000 UTCExcellent job! Thank you. BTW, real nice job polishing the script...much improved over the cold read. The Force is strong in the Why Files.

2024-01-18 23:08:31 +0000 UTCThis was awesome. I had the exact same reaction as Hecklefish at the end and then I went Nooooooooo! when I realized the episode was over. lol The part about the caves makes me think of the theories that there is a huge cave complex under the US that line up with national parks and that there’s people living there that are responsible for some of the strange disappearances. Also, did you know about Cheddar Man, a 9,000 year old skeleton that they found in the UK and they identified one of his descendants living nearby and they look a lot alike? https://mymodernmet.com/cheddar-man-relative/ it made me think about the story of interbreeding.

2024-01-18 23:03:00 +0000 UTCMy wife did a dna test and it says that she supposedly has more Neanderthal DNA than 85% oh the worlds population. She also has extra bones in her jaw and skull. Walking cavewoman I tell ya!!

2024-01-18 22:48:31 +0000 UTCI wonder what was the choice dipping sauce when eating human? Probably some type of Au jus I’d imagine. 🍗
JimmyJames
2024-01-18 22:47:01 +0000 UTCI wonder if the planet of the apes were a means of telling this story in an “acceptable” telling? And was it these predators that drove the lizard people and others underground?
