Hi

Imagine that in 12,000 years, the internet still exists and was never wiped, so you’d go onto youtube, and see “published 12,000 years ago” like jeez. We wet our pants when we see 12 years ago.
It would take an insane amount of progress in data keeping to store 12,000 years of internet usage, as it is growing exponentially. What I'm asking myself is how will people decide what to delete and what to keep when our servers inevitably run out of space after a decades/centuries of usage? Will there be internet historians in charge of picking what is worth saving in virtual "museums" where we'd see the first youtube videos, first facebook posts, first tweets, first Pepe the frog memes? I feel like the humans of the future are gonna be doing a lot of facepalming...
Son Of Montreal yeah, i was thinking this as well. I guess we could store giant archives of the internet on the moon or mars
CL Melonshark lol, indeed
Imagine going on the hub
if humanity stills exists before the internet servers get filled
It's weird how most of us living on Earth will never meet or even acknowledge each other's existence. For example, if you're reading my comment; this is probably the first and last time you'll ever see me.
No way I'll sub u doge!

Thanks for the ideea. I hate it.

That's deep
Future archaeologist: *picks up a fidget spinner* Future archaeologist: “Hm, this appears to be an ancient religious artifact.”
*picks a fidget spinner* "This must be an artifact used to chant spells"
Future archaeologist: *puts the fidget spinner inside the museum for the new era to look at*
Lmfao
this probably happened before and we don't even know it
Yes, that is what archeologists do when they don't know what something was. I see it alot. One discovery of blades hidden high up in the rafters of a hunter gather hut had the childless academic archeologists saying "oh sun god worship" when a mother said "childproofing". Srsly.
This animation is just godlike. Screw Infographics. This is the true Infographics of youtube. Actual good animation with effort put into it.

Damn... imagine..
I know that this is a joke comment, but I wanted to point something out. Our development of “clearer resolution” is on the opposite of an exponential graph. Basically, things have been more and more “clear” for decades, but nowadays, if you compare 1080p to 4K you don’t see much of a difference. If the future generations have 40k, although it is technically much higher, our eyes would register it as basically the same image. Sorry if this took up your time reading it, but I see this type of comment a lot and wanted to point it out ^^
What you are saying makes no sense unless humans develop a lot sharper sense of sight. Till then nobody could ever say 4k is blurry.
@@demonyckscreations9990 I fucking definitely can tell between 1080p and 4k

@@domm138 I read that poem when I was in 7th standard ...
I think it was a reference to the Assyrian King Ashurbanipal, before the internal strife and collapse of the empire. He knew how to read and his own inscriptions.

I love how this channel almost always celebrates humanity and the accomplishments we've made! I know many scientists just focus on the bad aspects of humanity and end up pessimistic. I love your work so much!
The scientists I've met were actually very optimistic. They believe they can help change our heading and create a better future.
i mean, aren't scientists supposed to answer questions, what ever branch it is. i think the reason why they focus on the wrongdoings is because they want to lessen the chance of giving the wrong answer
It’s the average person who is pessimistic
Not to toot my own horn, but our future did look a bit grim, given the recent events that have happened. But perhaps there is hope, and maybe it's not too late to change our world.
I like that Kurzgesagt tries to put a positive spin on their videos. Pessimism becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Positivity can go as far and as high as it can.
Being a human biologist, I think its crazy how the emergence of human civilizations shaped our DNA as well. To give an example, humans (like many other mammals) used to be lactose intolerant upon adulthood. However, the domestication of animals led to the regular consumption of milk roughly 20000 ago. At that time, a mutation occurred which made people lactose tolerant and this mutation was so beneficial during periods of starvation that it soon spread across populations making the majority of people with European descent lactose tolerant today (I made a video about this). Human evolution is so fascinating!
Indians: hold my cow
thats a lot of info
Still tho why are we so arrogant and irrational to our problems and morals ,is it really based in our DNA, or is it something to do with our consciousness or we might can change it for good

Gosh, those animations really bring a tear to my eye. Those weren't caveman, nor primitive humans. Those were people, people like you and me. People who had their own feelings, their own thoughts and their own unique journey throughout life. It's strange how we often forget this kind of things, even when it's about other folks in the present day.
Very true. Even a mere few centuries of distance, and we regard a number of our ancestors savages, even when in reality, we're fundamentally identical.
Midnight Gear How are we fundamentally identical?
Biologically. If a baby from that time period got time travelled to today, they would probably die of modern day diseases... But if they didn’t, they would grow up just like us. Their brains were just like ours, it was their environment and knowledge which was different.
@@AndyHappyGuy And if a baby from our time when to them, THEY'D all die. So It'd live an existence of lonliness before dying to some outside causes or malnutrition.
Bede our biology, hopes, dreams, needs, wants, were all basically the same. They cried, suffered, lusted, loved, gazed at the stars, marveled at the sunrise, and questioned life itself just like we do. We are all the same. I wish more people could see that. And I’m glad that you asked so that you can too.
Thank you, humans from the past and the future. You made me walk again when I destroyed my knee. Cured me with the medicines you developed a long time ago every time I got sick. Made technology that allowed me to meet amazing people from the other side of the globe. Made outstanding videos like this for other humans to enjoy. I try to contribute as much as possible to our technological world, doing my best at work, and helping other humans when possible, although its so small compared to everything else you did for me. I will be gone in a few decades, but you will keep going, you will end suffering one day, expand your realm to other worlds, even reach the stars of the sky.
If we are lucky, you can choose not to go within your life!
@@ShihammeDarc I like that optimism, and I believe in that wholeheartedly :)
Isn't that crazy? We all come onto this world for a purpose, we were never purposeless.
This video really made me take pride in being a human. Sure we are full of imperfections. Sure a lot of us are cruel. Sure we had wars and fought each other. But the fact that this species, which is not the strongest, or the largest, or the fastest, managed to accomplish such outstanding feats in just 12,000 years is truly astonishing. We might even be able to change our fate which the dinosaurs couldn't. In the past 4 billion years, life has done stunning feats. But if I were to say which of them stands out the most, it would be the evolution of humans. Let's cherish our 12,000 years of achievement and hope that we keep doing amazing feats in the future.
Yup
Well said.
Omg. That’s beautiful
Now that I think about the scale of time, and see that number 12,000 years before me, I feel like that's really not much time. We were pretty fast in becoming what we are! Compared to the rest of evolution, it's pretty much: Brain developed, some kind of sparkle made it meet a critical intelligence level, and boom! Technology and rockets. That makes the Fermi paradox even more curious. It seems that, whenever an intelligent being is developed, it takes about no time to become a space-faring civilization. Just think about it. The Roman empire is about 2,000 years ago. That feels like nothing for some reason. I mean, it's also just about 25 generations, just think about it: Your life is 1 generation! And then it's only 10,000 more years, since we became what we are and had the tools to be what we are. That's about 125 generations only, in terms of the livespan of today! (Yes, they lived way shorter, but I want to compare it to a timespan we can relate to). Even if we half the livespan, it's still only 250 generations. From the beginning of humanity to now. I'd say we are speedy fast! I didn't think that. If I had a guess how long my family tree goes backwards until the first human, I would have guessed something like: 1000? Not intellectually, because I've simply never thought about it consciously, and then of course it can't be. But by feeling alone, it "felt" like 1,000 generations at least, only now that my logics apparatus is analyzing it, I realize how SHORT that timespan really is! The world is a lot younger than I thought!
And we really live in the beginning of humanity, if we don't screw it up. In terms of a human livetime, I'd say that we as a species are just babies that learned to barely walk and talk. If we don't screw it up, there's so much potential! Let's think what we could actually do in 1000 generations! In the future. Now I understand, why most humans are not able to recognize the greater value of our life, and wars, greed and isolationism is so far-spread. Maybe we can even mentally adapt that far in the future. Step by step, like here. It just has to become a critical percentage of humans that adapt that thinking, and we will drastically do things differently. From there on, I am convinced, our development will really grow exponentially in any way, if we overcome that.

videos like this are really good for me to watch whenever I feel too cynical and pessimistic about humanity, I love the colourful and detailed inventive animation style too
One thing Humans never had to deal with in 2 million years was overpopulation. Our first 1 billion people was only 200 years ago in 1820. Now we are at 8 billion and add 1 billion every 12 years. Going to plants with no food ,air and solar radiation protection will not save us.
There are few reminders of humanity's achievements in a world where every single day you're only reminded of humanity's mistakes and flaws.
It's sad really. I honestly hope that we actually do come together to over come this. Even if we don't live to see it.
Ikr, if more people would aknowledge where humanity's come in a blink of an eye in historical times the world would be a better place on the other hand, knowing which problems are there is more useful than knowing what archievements have we reached
You think? I'm reminded of humanity's achievements every day, whenever I use a phone, computer, look up to the lights in the ceiling, or take a shower, maybe the problem is not so much that we don't get reminded of those achievements, but that we don't notice them anymore.
Our achievements have never been achieved before to our knowledge, failure is part or learning. Can u imagine a humanity that never failed. They wouldn't be human
It is only normal. Humans are also not perfect so that humans can achieve perfection just like rest. Only real God is perfect if there is any.

Hey I thought it was inspiring! We are the same humans as thousands of years ago, just as we will be IN thousands of years. That doesn't mean everyone has to be an innovator; there's tons of room and need for the simple folk to work the land, live the simple life, and weave themselves into the legend of human tradition as well! If you can be Edison, great, but not everyone can. For thousands of years, people were ok just living the simple life, enjoying family and the comforts of nature, the rustling of the wind through the leaves in the trees, the songs of the birds, and the fruits of one's own successes.

7:08 It's possible that the ancient people wanted more certainty for their kids so that they would always have a constant supply of food even if it wasn't as diverse, because from time to time nature could yield less food or things could happen, so it's always safer for an ancient parent to know that they have farmed food to fall back on for their kids.

7:10 my theory as to why they started placing seeds in the ground is most likely curiosity. Maybe they saw a squirrel or some other rodent put nuts in the ground and wanted to try it themselves, some people liked it and it became a thing in the background people did besides hunting, maybe during that time meat became scarce so they turned to agriculture more, and it just..

@@BearMeOut unfortunately most plastic in the oceans is not thrown on purpose by consumers but rather by wind that blows on garbage land fields and by recycling companies which sometimes simply cannot process as the pile gets bigger. Recycling is great but not enough. We need to use instead biodegradable or non polluting materials: metals, wood, plant fibers, etc. Those are more expensive and have inherently a shorter lifespan than plastic but it is precisely their main advantage. We need commercials on it to educate the people. It is a common good worth paying for, just as education or healthcare.

I rarely come across content like this that makes me proud to be human, but it’s always uplifting when I do. The fact that I think just about anyone could watch this video and feel something similar is pretty comforting.
Kurzgesagt makes me awed at how far humanity has come, grateful towards those who came before us, and hopeful for our future in a way few other people, books or videos have done. It actually makes me feel like humanity is a great thing, which is an achievement.
"Born too late to explore the world and too early to explore the universe" -Some random dude who I don't know "The past is history, Tommorow is a mystery but today is a gift that's why we call it a present" -A crazy turtle Guys we can't experience everything. Our time is limited and we cannot expect to answer all the questions about humanity in our lifetime. A lot of people including me have a hope that we will live to see humans evolve into a type 1 or a type 2 species but the sad truth is that we most likely won't. Instead of hoping we were born a few thousand years in the future we should enjoy the life we do have because we are lucky to be alive at all. Most people have a fear of being forgotten, we need to get over that fear. We need to know that every single one of us matters even if only to a few. Some of you reading this will go on to be multi millionaires but some may not even be recognized in society but what you need to know is that all that matters in your life is that YOU should be happy. History may remember a few but if you look at the big picture it is impossible to not be forgotten. In a few hundred years noone will know who Charlie Chaplin was or who Albert Einstein was. You need to know that no matter how much you do or contribute you will be forgotten and you need to accept that fact. This generation is lucky we are may be too early to explore the universe but we are right on time to pave the way. It isn't about us it's about the future. All you need to care about is making you, your friends and family happy. All in all phenomenal video Edit: Quite a few people commented saying that there are a lot of people who will not be forgotten but I shouldn't have been that specific with the time lol. What I meant was that eventually everyone will be forgotten. Like the big big picture like 2000-3000 years. My guess is noone alive will be remembered because the technology that they invented will either become obselete or so common that we won't even realize it was invented by someone (Most of us don't really know the guy who invented the wheel do we) and like that lights as we know it today will probably become obsolete along with the person who invented it. Sadly the only people that we can expect to remember are monsters not worth remembering and those we want to forget.
Thank you man
This comment is beautiful, thank you
🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱
You can experience the universe within :) maybe it's not so different then the one out there
People will still know who Albert Einstein was in a few hundred years, just like we know who Isaac Newton is

I have a time capsule that was buried in 1920 on my college campus and it will be opened in November! Kind of scary knowing that those people were unaware of the situation they would find themselves in. Before the Great Depression and WW2, as well as the Cold War. I mean it is 100 years. I’ll come back to this comment section on November 3rd to tell you what was in it.
Tell me when you open it

This video is too emotional for some reason, and I love it. The music got me.
Beautiful. I love your musical score, it’s very hopeful. And I love that you’re trying to tell the story that many of us are fascinated by but we are not necessarily able to discover
Can we appreciate the beautiful soundtrack and visuals? Kurzgesagt never ceases to amaze me; they always push themselves to improve on their already wonderful quality and it's greatly appreciated EDIT: At the end of the vid; the long history of humanity and its progress + the beautiful music = a tear from me. Hopeful that humanity can focus and progress even faster to create a "glorious future" (Kurzgesagt).

A good video to show your near and dear ones. It wasn't just about how we evolved, but rather than how humans innovated themselves.
This video makes me so nostalgic of when kurzgesagt first started, especially the first time video, that was soo long ago. Thank you for making all of this videos free and good quality.
I can't beleve i get to watch such educational content for free
There is much more if you look for. However this German company is doing a unique work.
Yeah it’s amazing isn’t it. But it’s not free, at least you need electricity, a device capable of using signal waves and also pay for services of internet, but all that aside it’s nice to have this type of content.
@@Sebastianguitar01 Compare to what we learn in bloody schools and colleges by paying hefty sum we learn more here for almost nothing. We learn here more than we pay in school we pay more and get little to nothing in return.
Apart from Kruzgesagt there are channels like Crash Course which you should check out also there are apps like Coursera where you can learn about variety of things. This is remarkable time for education.
In Germany everybody has to pay for the public television channel. Regardless if you're watching them or not. The German Channel of Kurzgesagt is partly financed by these as far as i know. ( "Funk netzwerk" ). So basically it isn't free. But Kurzgesagt is one of the best productions of the German public Television channels in my humble opinion.
Every time I watch a new episode on this channel, I end up crying tears of joy for the beauty of the world and how far we have come as a species. For being able to grasp how small and intricate we are is best thing about consciousness. In my opinion.
Yes
This made me think, isn't it sad that most animals have no concept of where they come from and go
Even more yes
I feel the exact same way!
then I go to twitter and pray we die off by the next century
You should do a video on the science of immortality and how we could use the immortal jellyfish to intergrate into our physiology
I just have two words, Super awesome. These animations are amazing! I don’t know what to say besides your so good at doing your job, And keep up the good work.
Those rare videos where Kurzgesagt doesn't kill birds ruthlessly.
There is a patreon tier that when you buy it the next video will have a bird that is gonna get killed, so yeah probably people dont buy it and so it doesnt show up
@@eness379 Wait really? lets all get it so they must commit genocyde lol
@@agustinyavar525 lol!... I remember them saying a year or so ago that they had so many "kill-bird" patreons that they had the disable that patron level to schedule all the birds that had to be killed in their upcoming videos lol

To be honest I have been watching KZhead for years and I have seen many kinds of content but I have to say that this is the best Chanel I have ever seen
This channel has taught me more about my history and the history of this planet than school ever did.

This was weirdly inspiring in a way I can't explain, and I've seen loads of videos and read many books on this subject. Maybe it's the music, or perhaps the animation, who knows. But I thank you.
It's the music the animation and the hours of research and writing that make this so beautiful. They can inform so much with so little script and still have a nice and smooth video that never gets boring to watch.
Its all of the factors that turned this video in a masterpiece in my opinion
Why am I crying so muchhh
Oof u good
Wow I've seen many comments of people crying to this vid, as did I, it hit something within all of us
One of the best videos on KZhead. All the best and keep up the great work.
I used to believe that I was the one in control of my life, thatI was responsible whether I have a good career, a decent home and a decent position in the social hierarchy. Watching videos like this made me realize how most of what I have today wasn't because of me but was because of the thousands of years of humanity's progress. There had been roughly 100 billion humans that ever existed 90 billion of them now dead. No matter where they're from, what culture they had, what timeline they existed. They laughed, they loved, they had families, friends, enemies, they had fears, they had their dreams. No matter which timeline, culture, society, or technology any of us and those before us, there were always those constant things that always stayed and defined us as humans. Every convenience, technology, food, ubiquitous things, the smallest of things that no one ever appreciates anymore like the phone you're probably using right now, these were all a result of process that took thousands of years through humanity's journey.
Can we appreciate how fast Kurzgesagt is pumping out these videos while still having absolutely AMAZING quality and detail?! There last video was barely a week ago! If you need a break please please don't hesitate to do so, you guys are amazing and we don't want you to be too stressed, we will understand
What if he is getting better at animating so maybe that’s why
There’s more people than him behind the channel. They have a team
@@somethingiguess8486 it's a team of animators, but still, quite the impressive pace
they work on multiple at a time
They constantly pump vids every few weeks.
Whenever I learned about things like this in history class I always thought that they were some emotionless people but this shows me that they were people just like us. This is the best education channel out there and gives me a new perspective with every new video.
Yeah.. All the subjects taught in the school are actually interesting and beautiful.. It's just that it is in the format of "study" makes it look boring..
@@riyank5238 I don't think school is the best place to learn new and interesting things anymore, quite the opposite in most cases.
They were certainly emotional, just like most animals, and in fact the mostly physiologically modern human has persisted for about 200,000 years.
@Weezy Dusting or perhaps less school is the solution, Finland has one of the best education systems in the world and they have less school time, less homework, smaller class rooms and more free time for kids to explore on their own. My personal experience with school was lots of yelling, lots of stress, lots of bad teachers who enjoyed wasting time and humiliating children and did most of my actual studying and learning on my own not in or around school but everyone seems to have a different experience it seems.
@@djayjp I find that hard to believe with micro evolution, different diet and more harsher enviromental presures, esspecialy after the industrial revolution we see a drop in human health and ability.
Imagine how much we could learn as individuals if we could travel back 12,000 years or even a million years
Us today: its a fidget spinner! Us 12000 years later: *ANCIENT BOTTLE OPENER*
Kurzgesagt make me feel proud to be human, even after the devastating news of everyday
Read Sapiens by Harari, you will hate us again!!
The devastating news of everyday is inconsequential in the grand scale of human time. It hurts no less to hear what happens but remember it will always pass and humanity will improve. A hundred generations ago the Roman Empire ruled most of humanity with military might and fear and now it is gone, about 10 or so generations ago slavery was still rampant and now it is gone as well. Humanity is improving, slowly but with ever increasing speed. We may not see much true change in our lifetimes but our descendants a few generations down will look back at our problems and struggles like we look at those of the ancient world. Everything will work out in time.
@@matthewnunley3873 Slavery is not gone, it has just changed than what is was back then
@@illusionm4n958 if you say that working is slavery i will punch you, being productive to society is not slavery you dont even get close to imagine what slavery is like now there is still slavery in the world yes, but is not close to what it was in the past, and its disapearing
@@carso1500 that's not what I meant at all. People went to work back then and it wasn't slavery so why would it be now. I mean that in some third word countries working conditions are so inhuman with basically no pay, that is basically slavery in modern times.
This video is so good I cannot express how good it made me feel being a human after watching depressing news all day. Background music was so good by the way!
I agree, the music was amazing.
But humans couldn't be a more destructive and disgusting animal. Get real and embrace misanthrope instead - the type of thinking that may be our only hope in bringing about any positive change I believe 👍🏼

Than all history class
K Hype my History teacher doesn’t even know our textbook well Lol
School isn’t designed to teach you. It’s designed to make you a cog in the machine; to crush your will and dreams, and turn you into a lifeless but useful part of a grander mechanism. Some people still dream and strive for those dreams; and very few of those people succeed. Good luck 🍀👍
A Kurzgesagt video costs months of work, no random teacher is able to do that.
I don't know if it's the narrators voice or the background music, but this video gives me goosebumps every time. The best moment is when they switch from the ancient to modern visuals of our lives and say, "we are still the same humans today".
