Humans vs Superhumans | When Monsters Were Real and We Almost Went Extinct
Humans 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.

Your gift of story telling is second to none. I forgot that I was watching the why files as you were telling the sub story of “imagine you’re a child in a village”. Damn good stuff.
Compare 9:08 – 9:23 with the active role that the powers are taking in order to break apart social grouping in the modern day and age. Nuf' said. Ain't that right Heckle my freckle.
…no new episode for this week? Whaaaaat?
Why wasn’t an episode put out tonight like usual?
Sorry bro.
I dnt start from monkey. I am GOD creation.
No show tonight??
I think I'm ready to hear about Campania ignimbrite eruption even though it's really scary
Neanderthal became Sasquatch? That makes more sense than all those shows with their cryptid nonsense. I want to see that episode.
So Neanderthal could essentially fight a Gorilla or a Bear and Kill & eat it by themselves🤔
I wish that was passed on to us
26:20 Just once, Just once I'd like "A" narrator to say something like, The Neanderthal picked him off the ground and started squeezing "at which point little johnnie pulled out his .50 Cal desert eagle and blew the Neanderthals head clean off" lol
Anyway GREAT channel, you are my "Happy place" keep the great stuff coming.
Anyone know what’s up with the ep this week?
I have said that what big foot that have to b if we made it why wouldn't a few of Neanderthals makes sense that they would hide from what they at one time would hunt n kill …
WHERES TODAY’S UPLOAD?!!!
I must say, this is definitely one of my most favorite features in this channel. 🤩😍
this was a bad episode
I was thinking Bigfoot right from the beginning. You should consider making another show about that. Thank you for another great episode!
"unless the Neanderthal has money"
Please make a sasquatch episode 🙏
Sounds just like nephilim or demons
They are literally bigfoot
Great job. i would love to know the story of bigfoot and humans. Best youtuber channel to date. i love how you separate facts and myths.
show me the dna from these previous primates/humanoids that resides within my dna
Once man moved to the savannah, why did the wild cats not eat the walking slower, meat bags. Like treats? 😜
I just found your videos – but Im sad to see your goldfish's face is stuck to the side of the bowl!
Neanthertals were that cool? Skin so thick it could take arrows? Amazing stuff that should be a regular subject in school. Cheers for what you do and share, loved the oldschooliscool chart of the human evolution. Also, my salute to Hecklefish (I'm with you)
What’s the deal where’s our episode
lol that starting statement.. place 1 human one lion 1 bear and a silverback all in a room with a flat space so Human has only himself for defense, who comes out on top now… you forgot we need to even the playing field
I must smoke too much because I swear aj looks like cm punk
Their freaking favorite food were us?
No new episode this week?
Sounds like Hecklefish has a relative flushed down the toilet by a red head,
Maybe the Bigfoot is actually a lost tribe of Neanderthals. Just maybe some have survived of the centuries.
Always love the podcast plug bit 👏🏻👏🏻
neanderthals eats men and mates with your woman. Who needs Freddy or Jason.
Firat time finding you channel , and what a introduction 👌🏾
The Neandethal had larger brains its benifited their eyes meaning Night Vision. The had denser bones meaning Titanium bones. Cant imagine if they had not become infertile from interbreeding they may be still alive today. We could not go against them by pure strength.
I can only imagine this theory stems from black supremacist ideology.
The out of Africa theory is wrong and the experts have known it for a long time.
Those were the Giants in the Bible, The Nəfīlīms….
Bigfoot
