Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky appeared.

The scene slowly opens from an ancient misty forest.

Two figures chased and fought through the woods.

One of them had a stocky build, muscles bulging like steel.

The other figure was relatively light and agile.

Although his body was not as strong as the muscular man, his eyes were sparkling with agility and wisdom.

They all held homemade weapons tightly in their hands.

They were locking onto each other cautiously.

The two men gradually approached each other, their breathing was clearly audible, the air was filled with tension, and a fierce conflict was about to break out.

And the story officially began.

[In the long river of ancient time, Homo sapiens and Neanderthals had fought a shocking war that lasted for 100,000 years. ]

[The story begins here...]

[Which war in human history lasted the longest? ]

[Maybe, it’s this one.]

[The battle between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals! 】

[In the grand chapter of human evolution, there is a shocking hypothesis:]

[Homo sapiens may have engaged in a 100,000-year-long competition for survival with Neanderthals.]

[This is undoubtedly a fierce competition that spanned a long period of time, and its duration is so long that people can't help but wonder. ]

[Why did competition between early humans last for such an astonishing time span? 】

【First, modern biology reveals to us an extremely important fact. 】

[All humans living on Earth today, regardless of race or skin color, belong to the same species - Homo sapiens. ]

Outside the sky.

This statement caused an uproar among the ancients!
Qin Dynasty.

A hint of displeasure appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

"What do you mean? How can all people in the world belong to only one species?"

Ying Zheng's voice was low and full of doubt.

Li Si stood aside and echoed respectfully:
"Your Majesty, what this sky curtain shows may have a deeper meaning."

"But in my opinion, the people of the Great Qin are vastly different from the barbarians in terms of customs, appearance, speech and behavior."

“It’s hard to believe they’re the same thing.”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly. "Those Xiongnu and Baiyue tribes are even more uncivilized. How can they be compared with the people of our Great Qin? It is ridiculous to say that they belong to the same species!"

Basically, most of the ancient people had similar ideas to Ying Zheng.

It is difficult to accept the view that all humans belong to the same family, Homo sapiens.

And the sky continues.

【This phenomenon raises a deep question that goes deep into the soul. 】

[In the vast natural world, most animals have multiple subspecies or closely related species. ]

[Take the cat family, for example, which includes many different species such as lions, tigers, snow leopards, etc.]

[Due to reproductive isolation, they are unable to interbreed. ]

[However, why do humans appear to be so puzzlingly homogeneous at the species level? ]

【In fact, humans are not alone. 】

【Prehistoric humans once had considerable diversity.】

[During the Pleistocene period, which was from about 258 million years ago to 1.17 years ago.]

[There were multiple species of humans with advanced intelligence on Earth at the same time. ]

[Including the earliest confirmed subspecies of Homo erectus, Peking Man, who lived about 77 years ago.]

[The "Hobbit" discovered in Indonesia - Flores people, they lived about 10 years ago. 】

[About 16 years ago, the cold-resistant Denisovans lived on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 】

[There were also Neanderthals, who were once the undisputed overlords of the European continent and established their own survival system on this land! ] [Homo sapiens were latecomers who appeared in the middle period. ]

[It is worth noting that there is no strict reproductive isolation between these different races. ]

[Neanderthals and Homo sapiens could even produce hybrid offspring.]

[Gene sequencing results show that modern Eurasian populations still contain 1-4% Neanderthal genes. ]

[This discovery provides crucial clues for us to understand the complex relationships between ancient humans.]

[According to an in-depth analysis of the distribution of fossils, during the heyday of Neanderthals, 20 years ago, their footprints were almost all over Eurasia.]

[The population size has been estimated at up to 150 million.]

[Not only did they appear earlier than Homo sapiens, but their population size also dominated for a long time. ]

[Neanderthals have extremely significant advantages in terms of physiological characteristics:]

[Muscle density is 30% higher than that of modern people, which gives them an advantage in strength confrontation. ]

[The brain capacity reaches 1500-1750 cubic centimeters, showing high intellectual potential. ]

[In addition, Neanderthals evolved short limbs to adapt to the cold, which can better preserve heat in cold environments. ]

[The bone strength can withstand a 300 kg impact, and the muscle density is 30% higher than that of Homo sapiens. ]

[Even Neanderthals mastered the technology of fire control and composite tool manufacturing, which greatly improved their survival ability.]

[These highly intelligent Berserkers are simply invincible in the wild. ]

The sky curtain introduces the Neanderthals.

Many images imitating Neanderthals are also given.

From the picture we can see that they are sturdy and strong, with great strength.

Knock down a wild boar with bare hands.

Knock out the bison with bare fists.

Several Neanderthal warriors even hunted mammoths at close range with spears in hand.

Highlight the image of a berserker.

Shang Dynasty.

Emperor Xin was surprised and said, "How could this Neanderthal be so brave?"

"I think this Ni is as brave as you, E Lai."

E Lai was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this.

"What kind of barbarians are these? Why do they compare themselves to me?"

But even though I said that.

But E Lai also admitted, "But watching them fight with wild beasts, they are indeed quite brave."

In the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang looked at these barbaric Neanderthals on the sky.

It's just purely for fun.

"Haha, these Ni people seem to be good at hand-to-hand combat."

"If there are still Ni people in the barbarian lands surrounding the Sui Dynasty."

"I have formed a large Sui Neanderthal army, which is quite impressive, haha!"

And in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi watched the barbarians in Tianmu hunting.

He said with some curiosity:
"According to Tianmu, the Neanderthals were smart, strong, and good at hunting in groups. They dominated the Eurasian continent at that time."

"But Tianmu also said that we humans are all Homo sapiens."

"That is to say, the powerful Neanderthals became extinct."

"But how did such a strong race become extinct?"

"It's impossible that they were all killed by Homo sapiens, right?"

"Look at how strong and smart the Neanderthals are. Even Homo sapiens can't kill them all." (End of this chapter)
