WEBVTT NOTE recognizability 0.966 NOTE language en-us 00:00:05.270 --> 00:00:09.833 I would never imagine that we will find such a amazing politics site 00:00:09.833 --> 00:00:11.237 in a cement factory. 00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:31.990 When I came there, the goal and the plan was to work there for two 00:00:31.990 --> 00:00:35.010 months and to go back to write my PhD dissertation. 00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:44.361 After being in the field for about one month, it became clear that 00:00:44.361 --> 00:00:49.168 the site is more interesting and richer than we thought before. 00:00:52.860 --> 00:00:57.566 In two years we excavated the side that would normally took us about 00:00:57.566 --> 00:00:59.014 20 years to exit. 00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:02.243 We collected all the fines and only 00:01:02.243 --> 00:01:04.756 after that we started to study them. 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.951 Is a book of archaeologist is like putting a puzzle together. 00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:26.196 And this puzzle is built off many pieces and it requires work of many 00:01:26.196 --> 00:01:28.091 different scientists from different fields. 00:01:31.460 --> 00:01:35.360 The great discovery he did. He found a new type of hominid. 00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:38.616 We named it the initial home. 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:48.970 Second 150 years everybody thought that Neanderthals evolved and died 00:01:48.970 --> 00:01:55.273 in Europe. We realized that the natural population, actually, if they 00:01:55.273 --> 00:02:01.003 were people, this source population, the core populations of neonatal 00:02:01.003 --> 00:02:07.306 started here in the Levant and not the newer put all. 00:02:11.420 --> 00:02:18.953 2nd 2015 Doctor Seidner arrived with a fragment of 00:02:18.953 --> 00:02:25.649 a skull that was excavated at Neshaminy site. 00:02:29.690 --> 00:02:33.990 Another fragment, another element was found in the final assemblage, 00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:37.430 and this was the mandible, the lower jaw. 00:02:39.450 --> 00:02:44.221 Then we started the work on this skeletal remains and from the first 00:02:44.221 --> 00:02:48.992 sight when we looked at either on this call or the mandible, we 00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:53.396 understood that we have a very unique hominid which is not home 00:02:53.396 --> 00:02:58.167 sapiens, not like us. Not like me and you, but something else. Now 00:02:58.167 --> 00:03:01.103 what it is that was the major question. 00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:08.405 We understood that we needed someone who 00:03:08.405 --> 00:03:10.955 is specialized in domestic water system. 00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:20.360 My name is Rachel's rig. I'm a dental anthropologist and I'm a 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.840 dentist specialist in orthodontics. 00:03:23.220 --> 00:03:26.832 Doing the research once the teeth were recovered and part of the 00:03:26.832 --> 00:03:30.745 mandible found, and that was very exciting for us. We got all the 00:03:30.745 --> 00:03:34.357 pieces and like a puzzle. We started putting these two piece to 00:03:34.357 --> 00:03:38.270 reconstruct the shape of the job and since some of the pieces were 00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:42.484 still missing, we took the entire crew to the journey and open a box 00:03:42.484 --> 00:03:46.397 by box to relocate and maybe find more pieces of the lower jaw. 00:03:48.270 --> 00:03:52.320 We joined every piece together with the neighbor piece. 00:03:54.350 --> 00:03:59.303 And being very accurate, it takes many days and months until you can 00:03:59.303 --> 00:04:01.970 even start the analysis of the mandible. 00:04:04.350 --> 00:04:08.298 According to our knowledge, we knew that at that time in our area and 00:04:08.298 --> 00:04:11.682 elephants, there was only the **** sapients. This is the group that 00:04:11.682 --> 00:04:13.092 we are all familiar with. 00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:21.896 Immediately you can say that it's not Thomas Atkins, for example. It 00:04:21.896 --> 00:04:25.889 doesn't have any chin archaic individual in the undertale's or other 00:04:25.889 --> 00:04:30.971 types of humans don't have cheap, so once you don't see a chin, you 00:04:30.971 --> 00:04:32.786 know it's not Thomas Hopkins. 00:04:35.270 --> 00:04:39.802 For not dealing with the homeless options which obviously occupy this 00:04:39.802 --> 00:04:42.686 area, who was here 140,000 years ago? 00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:50.702 We continue with the research in order to identify this specimen. 00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:56.322 Heading to many other fossils from other areas and different regions 00:04:56.322 --> 00:05:00.786 from the world. Once we identify that we have here a unique 00:05:00.786 --> 00:05:04.134 composition of characteristics which is different from the knowing 00:05:04.134 --> 00:05:08.598 the article group, we were able to determine that we're dealing with 00:05:08.598 --> 00:05:09.714 a new group. 00:05:22.590 --> 00:05:27.920 It shows that human evolution was much more complex and not linear as 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.020 we saw before. It suggests that there were interactions between 00:05:32.020 --> 00:05:36.530 different types of hominids and that they learned from each other. 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.831 We all are curious about our region and the knowledge from where we 00:05:44.831 --> 00:05:50.249 came from and how we develop. He tell us the story of human evolution 00:05:50.249 --> 00:05:52.184 and how sister groups evolved. 00:05:54.050 --> 00:05:58.992 I think what we can learn is actually how to collaborate and how to 00:05:58.992 --> 00:06:03.581 live together because we are going back here 100,000 years ago and we 00:06:03.581 --> 00:06:07.464 see types of humans that are actually getting along very well 00:06:07.464 --> 00:06:11.347 learning from each other. They are collaborating and this probably is 00:06:11.347 --> 00:06:14.877 a message that we should take home from this study.
