Why Do We Still Exist as the Only Human Species What happened to other people
We were not alone for the majority of human history. At least five distinct human races coexisted on this planet at the same time; some were taller than others, others were adapted for cold periods, and one was only three feet tall. We are the only ones remaining today. How did the others fare?
From Homo Erectus, the longest-living human species in history, to the Neanderthals, who were nothing like the brutes we were taught about, to the Denisovans, a species we found from a single finger bone, to Homo Floresiensis, tiny humans who coexisted with Komodo dragons on a remote Indonesian island, this video tells the whole story. You may begin to wonder what it truly means to be the last person standing by the end.
