Humans were not always the only hominin species living on our planet
In short: For most of history, our ancestors shared the world with other hominin species. This video explores the era when Eurasia was home to multiple human groups and examines the evidence that our ancestors encountered and interacted with them.
While modern humans are currently the only hominin group on Earth, this was not the case 100,000 years ago. During that period, Eurasia hosted diverse hominin populations.
The video highlights that our ancestors did not just coexist with these groups; they spent time with them, leading to interactions that have shaped our understanding of human history.
