Humans vs Superhumans | When Monsters Were Real and We Almost Went Extinct

Humans vs Superhumans | When Monsters Were Real and We Almost Went Extinct Humans are the apex predator. Not *an* apex predator. *The* apex predator. Other than a handful of bacteria and viruses, there’s pretty much nothing stronger, more intelligent, or more adaptable than Homo sapiens. Telling the human story from the beginning is difficult. It was a time when two words defined our world: fear and violence. It was a time when we were *not* the apex predator; we were their prey. We emerged from our caves during the day. Hoping we wouldn’t be hunted by the monsters in the woods. So vicious were these monsters they still live in our myths -- and our nightmares. They created a generational trauma embedded into our DNA over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. These creatures were stronger, faster, and (when it came to combat) more intelligent than we were. It’s a miracle any of us are even here. This is the story of how modern humans conquered the monsters and won the battle for the world. But here’s the thing: those fearsome monsters defeated by humans? Were other humans. #NeanderthalPredator #Monsters #Extinction 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Gino Gentile Jennifer Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members THANK YOU MODS: jengen13 (Mrs. Why Files) Victoria Young Loolykins The Hybrid Paul Rohrbaugh Mischief Kiam Timothy Weal Messor SnowCrash RobinSparkles BeezySmeezy Pathos TrashPanda SmarmyNarwhal MaryJaneMcweed AC Sanzel Original Jim The Why Files Theme Lyrics by @straightjacketspaceman9223 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎧 The Why Files: OPERATION PODCAST 🎧 🎧 🎧 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 SOURCES & LINKS Derinkuyu | The Lost Ancient City a Man Discovered In His Basement Them and Us: How Neanderthal Predation Created Modern Humans by Danny Vendramini 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🙏 SUPPORT THE WHY FILES 🙏 (Fun, Free Perks!) 👽 BUY WHY FILES MERCH 👽 👽 (Code: LIZZIDPEEPLE for 10% off first order) 👽 💬 CHAT WITH US ON DISCORD 💬 💬 💬 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🌐 OFFICIAL WEB SITE: 🕵️ Submit a topic, suggestion or just say hi: 🕵️ 🎨 Have a product suggestion or want to design artwork for TWF? 🎨 📸 BE A WHY FILES MODEL (and get free stuff!) 📸 Send a photo of you/family/friends watching TWF, 📸 wearing TWF gear, using TWF merchandise: 📸 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 ▪TWF ON THE WEBS ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪@thewhyfiles ▪ 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🐠 BETTER CHANNELS TO WATCH: 🐠 🤓
