obesity rates, you'll see an increase in apnea as well. So, what's happening here is now you're talking about I'll call it anatomical or physical like something physically is landing on your neck and your tongue and your throat, your larynx and esophagus and it's stopping your breathing. And why this matters is when you're standing here or sitting here in this chair, you're in this vertical
at present. When I started on this quest back back in the late '80s, early '90s, it was felt that anatomically modern human beings had not existed for more than 50,000 years. Very recent, really. But this turned out to be complete rubbish because anatomically modern humans are much older than 50,000
adenoids um this is very important a narrow nasal passage so this can be due to anatomic as so for instance if you're born with a deviated septum or maybe you got in a fight and you broke your nose but you didn't get it uh didn't get it fixed um or if you have allergies and your turbinates which are the filters in
years ago, a recent find in Jebel Irhoud in Morocco, again anatomically modern humans. So we can say that if we define ourselves by our anatomy, uh brain size, capacity of the skull, if we define ourselves in those ways, we've been
Probably like, well, what did you do? Your anatomical sex is defined by what's inside your pants, your genitals.
using it and some aspect of it is we're not sure exactly what aspect of the the hippocamp is represented in these in these anatomical studies and when people stop being cab drivers then it relaxes back to to the average average size uh and that's that's that's shown here
The archaeologist who studied the footprints published results suggesting they are consistent with anatomically modern human footprints. For example, they studied the foot index, which is the width divided by the length times 100.
Another report from the earlier history of archaeology, the jaw, fossil human jar reported by Doctor Robert Coliyer. This anatomically modern human jaw was found 16 feet deep in the Red Crag Formation in England at a place called Foxhall. The Red Crag Formation, according to modern geological studies, is between two and three
In 1862, a scientific journal called "The Geologist" published an interesting report. An anatomically modern human skeleton was found 90 feet below the surface of the ground in Macoupin County in the state of Illinois near St. Louis.

around 7 million years ago, through hominin type ancestors like Australopithecus about 3 million years ago, and then up to our anatomically modern humans around 300,000, maybe 200,000, years ago, there have been two major trends in our evolution. We developed to be able to walk upright and we became more and more intelligent, giving us the capabilities for tool use, problem solving,
When you visit the theme parks, is that something that has also inspired you over the years to participate in cookbooks of the food experience So it's an anatomical view of all their superpowers.
But they are distinct. And they're neuro anatomically distinct. You can knock one out and preserve the other one.

Didn't think it was going to be. Now it's anatomically impossible that the Finns are walking around with this extra battery pack in them.
Now, the current explanation of these discoveries is, well, it's not really possible that you could have anatomically modern human skeletons in layers of rock four million years old. So the proposal is that maybe about 4,000 years ago, somebody died on the surface.
It favors two or three on top and nobody else. His favorite example is anatomically correct, interchangeable Barbie torsos, which I never thought of, but would freak out Mattel, probably, rightly so.
her hand doing? It's an external rotation. It's the same as the gymnastics ring position. It's the same anatomical position. Screwdriver. If you wanna tighten a screw, which way does the screw turn? It's always set up for right-handed people. I know there's a right-handed bias in the world. But its external rotation is how you tighten a screw, drive the screw in.

But then in the 19th century when medicine overall was beginning a systematic investigation, the process really consisted mostly of anatomic pathology-- cadavers, organs, looking for the pathologic bases for illness-- a focus on this. But this was a fruitless effort.

But from the evidence itself, they could just as well have been made by humans like us. And there is evidence that anatomically modern humans existed at that time. This is the Buenos Aires Skull, which was discovered early in the 20th century in Argentina.
You'll notice one thing that's anatomically incorrect.

That is-- There's an anatomical reason for this.
Women also are less likely than men to complain. They're less likely to think about it as an anatomical issue. They're going to charge it to hormones. to their menstrual cycle, to their cognitive load, to what it's the demands that it is to be mom. All these are true. By the

The same? The same, yeah. Yeah. And again, that's not that's not disputed. Nobody's saying that Jebel Irhoud human beings were somehow different from us. They're anatomically modern humans. But how did they live um versus your definition of a civilization?
I suppose there are brain, anatomical reasons for that, or at least just-so stories that we can tell ourselves

So we now have an extraordinary insight into the anatomy of virtually every anatomical region.
And people have tried throughout history to figure out what's the most anatomically perfect, what's the fastest, what's the most injury free,
Reck, who reported on it in 1913. He found a fairly complete, anatomically modern human skeleton-- that's the skull cap of it-- buried in upper bed II of Olduvai Gorge.
Some of the most common and prevalent sexual cues for men are anatomical cues, parts of the body. And what we found from our research is that there are four parts of the body that

If we're anatomically modern, if we've got all the modern kit, if we've got the same brains, we've got the same neurology, everything is there, why do we wait
He said, but you're putting evidence for an anatomically modern human presence before the known presence of even the most simple apes
