Neolithic China and Ancient Culture

I've loved settling on this lesson & am happy to hear your thoughts. I'm just a really old Eskimo still learning about our world but I've just been so stuck on believing my roots go back to Mongolia. I've watched your show 3 times now to try to pick up the bits I didn't firs catch. I regret being a poor old broke Aleut Eskimo with so little money I cannot contribute but I can thank you for your effort. Toshwak

Thank you for making and sharing this. I am also commenting to help your channel with the algorithm. Cheers!

The north side of Yangtze are the Chinese while the Southside are Yue. It was nomadic Chinese "slanted eyes" once they able to cross the river this is the downfall of Yue tribes.

Nice one , First time watching your videos and this was all new info to me , well presented . Thanks

Wonderful

Right off the bat another misinformation about China. Anytime the narrator opens with “they independently” you know it’s going to full of fairytales that have been told over and over but simply isn’t true if you scratch below the surface. Let’s just start with, the Chinese were not the original inhabitants of most of China. So when he refers to “the Chinese” he could be talking about Iranians, Celtics or even Nordic looking people. I’d love to watch this, but it’s just going to make me angry when he refers to artifacts of the tocharians, Sogdians, Scythians, Saka, Wusun, Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and all decendents of indoEuropean etc as Chinese.

What a strange dream I was in my grandfathers house and I took a boat up the river to visit someone related to the family and on the way back I was walking passing by ancient ruins sophisticated resorts with bazaar sculptures made for people to exercise.

Archeologists should never exclude the possibility of anything but I guess they will never learn..

Wonderful presentation. Learned a lot today!

Thank you! So clear and fundamental!

clear and straight forward. bosh

Grave goods theory: some were born with excellent perception, making them seem magical/Devine. Maybe even an aspect of reincarnation, so they sent them off with really nice stuff so when they came back in another lifetime they were pleased and not going to seek revenge. 😃 I could spend hours trying to find out an answer for grave goods this is fun😊

How is china neolithic if the northern mongols were nomadic and carry paleolithic ADHD genes?

Thank you for your video, I really liked it,, good job ❤

SOCIAL DARWINISM=NAZISM.

those symbols look like IRVC civilizations

Amazing video!! So well explained; I was wondering, is China considered as a candidate for the first place in which writing emerged? Seems like they were very advanced in comparison with other Neolithic cultures

what are the genetic roots of first humans in this region of the world? a branch of homo sapiens coming from africa?

Do India.

Wanna try putting dates on?

Awesome video! Please do a video on the Shu civilization that encompasses the sites of Baodun, Jinsha and Sanxingdui!!!

All these cultures were influenced by Ethiopian ancestors

Did stone age china Worship of totem, body paint and wearing animal parts?

unfortunately the illustrations are quite erratic and often misleading or confusing. It would also help if you learned to pronounce Chinese names, at least according to modern practice, preferably also reconstructed ancient enunciation. Alternatively you might consider showing the characters of the words that otherwise remain unintelligible. Moreover, your account of the transition to Xia is garbled, as Yao and Shun, the great predynastic model rulers featured very prominently and only in Confucian history, where importantly not part of any dynastic lineage and practiced strict meritocracy. Huang Di is certainly a legendary figure like Shen Nong and has no place in this process.

This is awesome. Can you do a Paleolithic and Neolithic video on Northeast India? There is not much being covered on this topic.

literally had to put the video on 1.5x bc u talk very slow and its easy for me to lose focus

Applause

Please do a video on the origin of Cro-Magnon and their advanced toolset. Possibly if they had any Neanderthal DNA

Hemudu and Lianzhu had nothing to do with Chinese people at all. They were built by the ancestors of the Austronesians and not Han Chinese.

Please do a video on the squatter man

our lito, arlito? how to spell it?

I am surprised that silk is mentioned in connection with civilisations in 4000 BCE. Common attribution for silk industry is the Shang Dynasty in 2000+ BCE.

I'm so sick of everyone saying this guy sounds like a pirate... If you are British he sounds like the guy who works for trash service or at a local fast food place... There are also British people who make candy but everybody's first comment has not been this guy sounds like a candy maker just because you are from another country does not mean that defines what you sound like... That's like saying you automatically hate Jewish people because you have a German accent... That type of closed minded thinking is ridiculous he sounds like a pirate... Really cuz he didn't sound Spanish or Portuguese or Dutch or French or African

It would good to have a video showing why the races look so different from each other. How evolution took place that present-day Africans, Europeans and Asians look so distinct from one another.

Hemudu had nothing to do with Huaxia or Sinitic people, it was most likely built by the ancestors of Austronesians. Huaxia emerged in the Yellow River region amongst the millet cultivators.

There's no unified "Neolithic Chinese" culture, since at that time China was very diverse, drastically different cultures and peoples existed from north to south. In the north around the Liao River and the Yellow River areas, people mostly cultivated millet, and it's likely that one group of those millet cultivators emerged later as the Huaxia or Sinitic people. In the Yangtse area people cultivated rice, and they were likely the ancestors of Hmong-Mien, Tai-Kradai, Austroasiatic, and Austronesian peoples. And further south in the Pearl River area and the Southwest, there were Hoabinhian hunter-gatherers that hunted boars, deers, buffaloes and gathered taros.

How long was it till they had carryout and delivery?

You lost us when you started intentionally changing b.c. to BCE.

华夏文化比您说得更广。

i would love to see a video about how they make their weapons

It is traditional Chinese culture to do secondary burial into pottery placed into family tombs.

He sounds like Micky flannagan!
