The people of North Sentinel Island are perhaps the most isolated people on earth. But what can we really say about them? In our brief contacts with them can we get an idea about how they live? How long their community has been there? And why they resist contact so determinedly?
0:00 isolation
1:22 the island
5:08 how long have they been there?
10:10 first contact
13:00 how do they live?
15:09 their world view
19:53 genuine fear
22:37 should we contact them?

How far can we get human genetic information? What's the oldest ancient DNA? It's tricky because DNA degrades over time. However, fortunately proteins can bind to minerals in our teeth and provide a wealth of information. This is the science of paleo-proteomics. Join me as I investigate how proteins can store genetic information, what can that tell us about human evolution and who was paranthropus robustus?

66 million years ago a giant rock blasted the dinosaurs into the pages of history. However we are alive today, therefore our ancestor survived this event, so who were they? What fossils do we have from this time? What can palaeontology tell us about our evolution? And was a little chap called purgatorius eating flowers?
This video absolutely couldn't have been made without the help of Andrew Schwartz. Huge thanks to him for everything.
0:00 The impact
2:13 why are we primates?

Before writing there was what?? According to our best understanding of archaeology before writing came clay tokens. These simple lumps of dry mud played an incredibly important role in human development. They may be responsible for large numbers, writing, administration, board games and everyone's favourite, powerful bureaucracies.
Massive thanks to Dr. William (Brad) Hafford. Video could not have been made without him. Go check out his channel here @artifactuallyspeaking
