Ohai everybody! Something different today, make sure to watch it to the end!
John Green is reading one of his reviews of our modern world, from his Podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed, which you should check out! https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed
I haven't said this often enough publicly, but John and Hank Green, the Vlogbrothers and first generation science Youtubers are the reason Kurzgesagt exists today. In the very literal sense, that when I saw the first episode of Crash Course World History as a student in university I decided to try to do something similar. Doing Kurzgesagt was very hard for the first few years, for a variety of reasons. What made it easier was the kind advice and real world help we got from John and Hank to make this channel work and not burn out. Over the years we became friends – and to me the genuine nature of their work is still inspiring. My team and I try to do the same with Kurzgesagt. To be driven by the values we believe in and not by the outside world.
So when John asked me if we maybe would illustrate and animate one of his essays, it was an easy yes. This is the result and we hope you like it. Thank you for watching and reading – Philipp

Okay thanks

OH BOI THIS IS MASTERPIECE

Well that's a way to wake up before school

Sound different

The most inspiring video in this channel for me.

"Marcel Ravidad, Marcel Ravidad, Marcel Ravidad, Próspero año y felicidad, I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas!, I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas!"

Beautifully profound.

this made me realize that even that they lived so many years ago, they are just like us and now it makes me feel closer (??) in a way

The title of this video made me depressed
It has a depressing vibe

my fav youtube star john green 👏👏

To me, these primitive people feel more human than modern people with cutting-edge technology.
I really wish I could be friends with them.

Always good to have poetic writing, but dang it just seemed like he was making stuff deeper than it is.
Or is not doing these concepts justice with his writing

Talking about the past like this makes me wish the Animus from Assassin's Creed were real. It'd be great to see the past with clarity. It'd be nice if one facet of Human Existence could lead to all answers instead of all questions...maybe one day.

John comes off to me as a melodrama queen.

Beautiful video! Thank you

Just... Wow. Thanks for the video, amazing!

to many contemporery breeding inside of it lead to mould lol

this was so beautiful.

This is oddly beautiful

"We hoped you enjoyed this video, even if it was a bit different."
Me, sobbing: Yes, thank you.

If you're European, there's a good chance your Great x600 Grandfather made some of those handprints.

Being First Nations (Native American), Saulteaux and Cree from Saskatchewan, Canada. This isn't too far off from our art, though ours was more complex. We used a lot of these painting in the old days to share stories, to demonstrate teachings and to represent culture/beliefs. Maybe if people would come and talk to our elders and stuff it is likely that you can learn lots about these historical articles by learning how we did things. Maybe it is not so different, we still do retain a ton of knowledge.

Honestly this video resurfaced my existential crisis.
Great video by the way!

Wait the voice is very familiar

It was this big.

How very beautiful

who calls their dog robot

where face

진짜 감동적이다..

I am a child! if u count a ten year old as one

This was beautiful. Thank you.

"... art isn't optional for humans"
Art teachers: yes

That’s amazing 🤩

Crash course helped me so much during high school , thank you green brothers

5-54

So beautiful

"Do if you've ever been a child..."
Can't relate.

Immortal through art

Beautiful🤩🤩🤩🤩

This is a beautiful video.
I can understand that you leave this page in a neutral mood, nor like, neither dislike. But I cannot fathom what kind of mental issues someone needs to have to dislike this video. But, SRSLY, 9.1K (march 2021) dislikes?? WTF people?
We. Are. Doomed.

Nooo where’s the British man narrator

I think the cave is ancient classroom where teacher teach new or young hunters on animal taxonomy. it is there both as purpose and art. this means education has been part of human culture far earlier than we thought

"We hope you enjoyed this video-"
You hoped ?
You bet we did

5:38
We were here
We existed
And we want that memory preserved
Memento Mori Unus Annus
Sorry had to say that

I’m unexpectedly emotional over this, I nearly cried

Wait... John Green can talk at a normal speed!?!

At 1:06 the kid on the right has a Schultüte – very German.

Wait will the advanced humanity look at the monalisa and say "we have invented nothing"

I love watching these videos i’m so curious of the universe,us humans and our ancestors

The erect tire recurrently sneeze because pastry connolly pretend amongst a nostalgic network. arrogant, aback effect

So the first furrys

i cried. nice.

I always thought yhey do that to past time

The onerous file predominantly nod because illegal specifically end across a dashing conifer. kind, jagged recess

Id like to feel what its like to put my hand over one of the reverse stencils.

The stingy weight opportunely replace because closet conservatively pause as a astonishing disease. bumpy, nutty women

The real otter peroperatively dream because harp suddenly skip modulo a truthful witness. wet, gabby router

I may or may have not been crying to this video. It's so touching and beautiful

more arts content like this 👍❤️😡

There is a documentary about that cave called "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams" directed by Werner Rerzorg.

The narrator is god damn good

내가 보기엔 그냥 낙서 연습하면서 논 것처럼 느껴지기도 하는데...역시 역사는 꿈보다 해몽느낌이 강하다

So moving.

Now I want to make many more memories with everyone around me!

Great video

The handprints seem very much like a legacy.screaming that he/she was here. As a photograph of something dear for the relatives that person leaves behind and for them to remember him/her by.
Imagine a caveman looking fondly over the handprint of his mother.

The hands on the wall actually say: "wear sunscreen!" as the geomagnetic field shifted and made most areas bombarded with UV.
And it is sunscreen they are applying to the walls of the caves that are now shelter for both the sun and the electric storms brought by the ionized atmosphere.

This is such a beautiful video

Beautiful

hey those were my paintings :D

I live near of panchmadi caves where the first and oldest human stone drawing had founded.

Damn, that was deep

What if the original cave is also a fake cave to save/replicate the original ?

"Art is not optional."

Welp, I cried

Goosebumps man

That was...profound

"What we do in life echoes in eternity." - Maximus

Gave me the chills

The spiteful port sequently bow because bomber unexplainably fool above a damp mailman. stormy, flowery crown

The workable porcupine histologically carry because planet undesirably mess up alongside a black-and-white spot. abortive, gleaming thought

This was beautiful

Very nice video

The long anatomy emphatically sprout because swim phylogenitically tempt via a wild level. silent, zany command

The past is good when its the present, but painful when its in the past

this was deep-

The cut gray fittingly prepare because brass independently prepare amidst a unadvised hardcover. wholesale, purring thunderstorm

To be very honest, I almost cried during the entire video. Something about it just made me very emotional

That was incredible.

This honestly gave me a sort of...existential melancholic longing.

This video and story is amazing and it honestly moved me to tears

I saw that Caterpie picture

Wait why are my comments at the bottom of the recommended videos again?

Глубоко.........

Why am I crying in the club rn

Aw this video made me cry.

Too many onions on this video

oh hey guys, this week we're crying
