7 million years ago, a creature that looked basically like a chimp was sitting in a tree, with no idea it was about to become you. This video breaks down the entire evolution of humans into 7 levels — from our common ancestor with chimpanzees to the open question of what comes next.
🧬 What's inside:
— Level 1: The common ancestor — Toumaï, Ardi, and the first hominins
— Level 2: Lucy and standing up for good
— Level 3: Homo habilis — the first deliberate tools
— Level 4: Homo erectus — fire and leaving Africa
— Level 5: Neanderthals, Denisovans, and the "hobbits" of Flores Island
— Level 6: Homo sapiens and the Cognitive Revolution
— Level 7: Us, right now — and what's next?
Real fossils, real scientific debates that are still happening today.

Studies say that the greater the dimorphism, the greater the chance of extinction of a species in the long term.
Wolves are monogamous, have low dimorphism, and the males are cooperative. In monogamous birds, such as parrots and crows, dimorphism is nonexistent, being highly social and communicative. Sapiens was the only human species that survived thanks to cooperation between males, which opened space for the emergence of culture and language.
We are now discovering how over-prescribed they are.
the Auto immune systems kills off "defects"
defects that survive are called cancers or tumors.
