lolGod I wish they did, I want nothing more than a qt australopithecus gf.
Just get a midget aborigine girlfriend they’re literally the same modern day biological specimen that was mistaken for the invented "australopithecus species" except in Africa instead of Australia
>When a new niche is discovered by a species there is often a rapid proliferation of new species and then a collapse as one species evolves to dominate the niche.
The competitive exclusion principle only applies if the niche is resource-limited. There is absolutely no indication that was the case. Pre-history europe could support a 20x larger population of hunter-gatherer humans and not put a dent in resources thus wasn’t anywhere even remotely close to the carrying capacity for bipeds (look at population densities of north american indians which possibly was 100x greater for comparison) .-

Guest>doesn’t realize Australia megafauna extinction was due to changed environment that would be utilized equally between "separate species" of homo thus if one went extinct it’s almost certain the other would too
The circumstantial mixture of stupidity of abos and climate of Australia would not have applied to europe anyway. Abos could not drive anything to extinction anywhere else, especially not a "rival and possibly slightly inferior homo species"-

GuestI think you are really underestimating the abilities of weapons man. There was a small period of time where that slight advantage of intelligence was a major heads up.
Before we had weapons hominids were shit predators surviving off bugs and fruit and maybe the occasional roadkill.
Spears opened us up to being the strongest in the food chain and not just the smartest. I could absolutely see humans genociding a freaky look alike.
Its not going to happen quickly, but if everytime these two groups meet the inferior loses a member more often the not then its going to be put under more pressure. Can’t hunt their its human land, cant fish there, cant live there. Eventually even if they couldn’t do it in a war humans could have easily done it indirectly.
And humans traditionally aren’t a species that’s accepting of people who look different. So its a kind of issues I could easily imagine happened everywhere

Not relevant. All had weapons of some sort in the time frame we are referencing when/where they allegedly went extinct. The only question is if all of them had "advanced" weapons such spears, hatchets, and bows that are more than just sharp sticks and clubs. And in fact they probably all did to some extent. If you can discover how to create fire at will (which is very tricky if you have no clue how) you are smart enough to create spears and bows and basically every biped in Europe would have needed to use fire to live there year round.> I could absolutely see humans genociding a freaky look alike.
No you are not seeing something you are feeling something. Feelings are not arguments.>Its not going to happen quickly, but if everytime these two groups meet the inferior loses a member more often the not then its going to be put under more pressure
I already said no subsistence hunter-gatherer society can genocide a species (and the one off abo example doesn’t count for reasons listed)
There is vastly huge amounts of space to roam in europe. There is no feasible chance humans could have eradicated every last one. It’s very very a small chance to the point it should be dismissed.>Eventually even if they couldn’t do it in a war humans could have easily done it indirectly.
There is no indirect influence between tribes of subsistence hunter-gatherers. You see and kill or don’t kill, no further influence possible.>And humans traditionally aren’t a species that’s accepting of people who look different

>You know the abos caused the current state of Australia by burning the fuck out of everything to hunt right?
They probably (it’s contested) caused a significant change to the environment via burning it and this was possible because the environment was naturally conducive to being burned to a crisp in the first place. Europe is not. Much like how in the US east coast wildfires are not a concern at all but for west coast US it’s a huge concern. So take west coast US and make it far more extreme for pre-abo Australia. Like I said abo’s stupidity mixed with local climate would not apply anywhere else (as far as I’m aware there is no other similar local climate to pre-abo Australia). The megafauna had already adapted to the harsh environment but abos made it far worse by burning it, and the megafauna could not adapt to a new niche before they went extinct.Since none of these conditions apply to europe and all bipeds present would effectively share the same niche and suffer equally from a rapid environment change, it’s irrelevant to bring up the abo example as hunter-gatherers genociding a species. It’s a "one off" situation and would never happen again, especially to rival bipeds.

It sounds like you are making this up bc you are thinking of dry-looking climates in movies about bronze age era. Lots of Europe is currently dry, especially around the Mediterranean. I would assume the huge mountain ranges in Europe vs the flatlands in Australian outback make a very significant difference in ability for wildfires to change the local climate..
As I said, it’s already contested that abos even affected the Australian climate, and I was being generous. It’s VERY contested.
I don’t need to argue this minute point. I’ve given multiple lines of reasoning why the abo "example" of genocide is irrelevant and the only counter has been "well maybe the circumstantial conditions are kinda sorta similar maybe, despite the underlying concept being massively contested" -

No. Agriculture and deforestation peaked in the Bronze age also in Europe, there are many papers on this (the Bell Beaker culture was the first to start reforesting after agri peaked under them). Most of the forests in Europe are virgin wood (relatively speaking), the grasslands you see everywhere are man made, not natural. Throughout the middle ages Europeans understood the value of woodland not only for sustainable building material and other resources, but as windbreakers for maintaining topsoil quality as well as water capture and keeping acquifiers full. They maintained forest gardens, ranged and controlled animal populations etc. The ratio of farmland:forest you see in Germanic countries has been maintained like that on purpose for thousands of years. We always assume our ancestors are backwards and ignorant, but they understood far more about agriculture and the environment than the overwhelming majority of people do today.Furtheremore, after learning about climates like the Chilean desert most people assume that geography and ocean currents play a bigger role in local climate than it actually does. Most places on Earth could be just as wet as Europe if it were reforested, since forests are highly effective and breaking wind, capturing moisture and improving soil quality. The forests itself affect the climate.
If you can imagine the abundance of life found in desert oases surely you must be able to imagine expanding those oases across the entire desert by simply expanding the acquifier preserves and minimizing the moisture carried away. In fact you don’t even have to take my word for it; see the reforestation project in the Sahel. Yes these are dry climate planets, but can be transitioned once are you able to maintain more ground water and moisture locally althought that would take thousands of years.

Wow you totally missed the point. Your belief the climate was dry in this period was the part that’s probably made up. Good for you for sorta proving there was probably peak agriculture/deforestation in the bronze age. I did not imply there wasn’t.And you totally missed the underlying theme: abos actually causing the megafauna extinction/genocide, via changing the climate by fire hunting, is highly contested and thus a very poor example of subsistence level hunter gatherers causing the genocide of a species which is what this thread is about. You can read up on the contested nature of this topic here

GuestAll those other human species still exist though, it’s just that they’re a genetic construct thinly spread across the human population. Neanderthals still exist, denisovans, etc. In fact only about 7% of our genes or unique to modern humans. Humans are basically the cumulative total of most other human species.

GuestAround 93% of DNA of all humans is identical to other primates, the remaining 7% of DNA – Homo specific Genes is what makes us humans (different from the other primates).
Here is the division of this 7% homo specific genes in Europeans and African people.
In Europeans – 4% neanderthal genome, 1% sapien gene, 2% other eurasian hominid (erectus, denisova) genome.
In Africans – 4% sapien genome, 2% African erectus genes, 1% archaic "ghost" gene (not present in any other people)
Homo Georgicus is the oldest hominid discovered outside Africa, and earliest specimen of proto-Erectus (1,850,000 years ago). Found in the Caucasus, it would be the ancestor of both Homo Antecessor (800,000 years ago, found in Spain) and Neanderthals/Denisovans.
Both Neanderthals and Denisovas had 15% of the Eurasian Erectus Antecessor / Georgicus genome in their DNA, and Europeans have a Neanderthal Genome…that’s where we come from. Not from Africa. We are natives of Eurasia.

>Herc2 gene that regulates depigmentation(in humans as well as polar bears,who determine white fur in bears and blond hair bue eyes in humans)takes 500,000 years to stabilize and become hereditary,while self-domestication modifications are very rapid. Dwarf Mammoths from Wrangler Island("self-domesticated by Insularity") became dwarfs in 10,000 years
So, to conclude, Europeans genetically have all the archaic Neanderthal lineages (blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin etc), but obviously their physical form and their skull evolved, as happened to other populations in the rest of the world ( also in Africa …)

GuestPapuans have high Neanderthal admixture as well as Denisovan and Early Homo genes, some Indians have both Early Homo and Neanderthal genes, and nearly all modern populations have introgression from the Microcephalin D hominid and LM3, a group of Anatomically Modern Humans that branched off at least 150,000 years before Mitochondrial Eve (as evidenced by the DNA of Mungo Man and the LM3 insertion found in Modern Humans).
In short, all Modern Humans are Neanderthal Hybrids except a few isolated groups in Sub-Saharan Africa, who are hybrids with a comparable Archaic Hominid that was likely better suited to Sub-Sahara. 70% of modern Neanderthal hybrids are also Erectus hybrids, as evidenced by Microcephalin D, and some populations in South East Asia, Oceana, and India are also hybrids with late surviving Early Homo, as evidenced by the introgrPession of OAS1. -

GuestAround this time, an Anatomically Modern Human population with significant Neanderthal genetic contribution arose, probably arising in the Levant, Middle East, or North east Africa). He began assimilating all Erectines, Neanderthaloids, and other Anatomically Modern Humans. Therefore, all Modern Humans, with the exclusion of some isolated groups of Sub-Saharan African, have pieces of the Neanderthal genome. However, Sub-Saharan Africans have pieces of the African Homo Erectus Genome, and some West Africans have introgression from a 400,000 year old "heidelberg" y haplogroup
