- 0:00Welcome, friends and friends, there' s a mobile story. My name
- 0:04is Juan Jesús Pleguezuelo. I am an institute history teacher and I bring you
- 0:09episodes of history that will help us to understand reality and, by the way,
- 0:14to entertain us from the central studios of the living room of my house.
- 0:16I' ll send you a warm hug. I hope it' s
- 0:20okay, either way, you' re walking around the country. Go to
- 0:22bed, this one at the gym. Wish from the heart. In the
- 0:25next few minutes offer you a pleasant company. What an illusion. What illusion?
- 0:32Finally, finally at last, I can announce that my next book is
- 0:35coming out next week or two weeks. My next book is coming out,
- 0:42a book I' ve put a lot of heart into. It has a
- 0:45lot to do with this postcas and well, I hope you like it I
- 0:50will advertise it on my social networks and also on this podcast. So keep
- 0:53an eye out. Well, let' s talk about the most beautiful subject
- 0:57in the world. Let' s talk about those who looked for the first
- 1:02humans. Let' s talk about the history of archaeologists who discover our first
- 1:07ancestors. I' ve always been a big fan of rebirth humanists. The
- 1:12humanists of rebirth considered the human being to be the most beautiful creation of nature.
- 1:19They wanted to understand the human being in all his integrity and this that
- 1:25logos I have realized were far more humanistic than there are humanists of rebirth.
- 1:30These archaeologists wanted to discover our very first ancestors, our very first great-
- 1:37grandparents, They wanted to know all our whole family and see why I do
- 1:42this episode? Why am I going to tell you why I' m doing
- 1:44this episode? If you follow my postcast, if you follow my social networks,
- 1:49you know that there is a theme that I am passionate about, which
- 1:51is illustration. That and the illustration, for it spoke of putting rational thought
- 1:57before magical thought and I am saying it for a long time. A new
- 2:02illustration is needed. Again we have to go back to thinking, We have
- 2:07to put rational thinking back into vogue, because here it is happening on social
- 2:12networks, on social networks and it is camping a content that makes me laugh,
- 2:16I laugh, but if it analyzes it a little bit, it is
- 2:20tragic. It is turning the magical content, an absolutely dark content. There
- 2:25is a content that tells us, for example, that the earth is flat
- 2:29just like that. And there are also people who claim as much as that
- 2:34of man' s evolution, that that' s not proven? There are
- 2:38people that like that but it comes out on YouTube and says no, that
- 2:42it' s not proven about man' s evolution, that what' s
- 2:46that about the theory of evolution, that barbarity, that that' s not
- 2:51proven? That' s not clear. Well, let' s talk about
- 2:54those first archaeologists, let' s talk about the archaeological sites and talk about
- 2:59where our first ancestors were found. Okay so when someone says that and I
- 3:05say no, that' s not proven? It' s going well,
- 3:07because we' re going to talk about decades or centuries of scientists It'
- 3:14s good that they' ve been on the ground digging up and looking for
- 3:19our very first ancestors. Look at this Well, I already talked about it
- 3:23in those few that I dedicated to prehistory and human evolution, and we'
- 3:28re going to clarify it again. Where does the man come from? Where
- 3:30does the man come from? Well, we know perfectly well where it comes
- 3:34from, and comes from, East Africa, South East Africa, an area
- 3:38called the Rift Valley. All right, man comes and evolves in southeastern Africa,
- 3:46in an area called the Rift Valley. That is our garden of Eden,
- 3:53that is, the cradle of mankind. What happened? More or less,
- 3:57about ten million years ago that part of Africa begins to separate? A
- 4:02part of Africa starts to split up? And it turns out that part of
- 4:08Africa continued by what is in the Indian Sea forms what they call the Somali
- 4:12plates and the Somali subplate has been separating from Africa for ten million years.
- 4:17The Somali subplate is separating from Africa and in that separation it is giving rise
- 4:24to a large valley, which is the Riff Valley, which has an extension
- 4:28of four eight hundred a length of four thousand eight hundred thirty kilometers, a
- 4:32valley of the Riff, which crosses Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique.
- 4:36And in that valley, because it is not clear how Africa is separating,
- 4:43because in that valley it is walking, they are doing. There are great
- 4:46lakes, for example, in the Guturcana, the Tanganika, the Malagui,
- 4:49the victory and it said that Africa will separate its eyes, in a few
- 4:56million years, in another five, ten thousand years, Africa will end up
- 5:02separating and the Rift Valley will form another continent. Well, excuse me,
- 5:06that East Africa will form another continent and the Rift Valley will finally be flooded
- 5:14by the sea. But that' s what another five million years have to
- 5:17go by for. Well, what happened that in Africa we have said that
- 5:23it is separated by the Rift Valley, because that area of East Africa,
- 5:27in that area of East Africa, there was a climate change ten million years
- 5:30ago and that ancestor of ours, who lived on the trees, has to
- 5:35descend, has to descend to the land. Since there are no more trees
- 5:41because of that climate change, or fewer trees, because that ancestor of ours
- 5:46has to adapt to live on the ground and begins to walk on two extremities.
- 5:50And there begins the fantastic and beautiful history of human evolution, to which
- 5:55we have already dedicated several episodes. Well, that' s where we came
- 6:01from. We' re here. Okay. Who is one of the first
- 6:04to realize that the Rift Valley there is the key. Who is the first,
- 6:11or the first to realize that in the Rift Valley there was an archaeological
- 6:14treasure and that we had to focus there. Well, then, a French
- 6:18gentleman named Maurista Yez in a thousand nine hundred and sixty- six is the
- 6:24first, the first one pointing out the Rift Valley and he is the one
- 6:30indicating that our ancestors may be there. He made a trip to a region
- 6:35that is in Ethiopia, which is called the Afar region and discovered a deposit
- 6:39in a thousand nine hundred seventy that is called the Adar field with h and
- 6:45begin to discover before the remains of human ancestors and that is to say,
- 6:50well, this is one of the first great deposit and he founded an organization
- 6:58called International Afar ex Forgive International Affir Research Expedition, the IARE, and that
- 7:06organization, LAIARED, well, will be in charge of managing and controlling that
- 7:12archaeological site that we have said is called the Adar site one thousand nine hundred
- 7:17thousand nine hundred seventy. Well, then, this foundation and in this field,
- 7:21well, they' re sitting on the ground for one of the great
- 7:26discoveries of our history. In a thousand nine hundred and seventy- four,
- 7:30two historical archaeologists. Donald Johanson to Ives Coppens discover well, then, the
- 7:35skeletons of a girl and discover by supelvis Plana that that girl walked almost upright.
- 7:45I was walking almost upright. H actor archeolog se Abandonard Johansson Aves Coppens
- 7:49discover this the remains of this girl and this good girl as they call her
- 7:57Lucy And they were discovering the remains of an ancestor, who is the austra
- 8:01Lopetecus afarensis, because they call him Lucy by the beatles song Lucin the skyweit
- 8:05Diamans, which I good. In another episode I say it and here I
- 8:09have to correct myself. In another episode I said that while they discovered the
- 8:16body, it sounded on the radio Lucin h Skevi Diamans. It seems that
- 8:20during the celebration of the discovery they started to sing the song lucin h Skybey
- 8:24Diamans and that' s why they called this girl Lucy. Not then,
- 8:30this girl' s remains are at the Atisabeba Museum in Ethiopia. Okay.
- 8:35So maybe this is me telling the kids, our first, our great-
- 8:41great- grandfather, our most famous great- grandfather. Without a doubt,
- 8:46this child, this is Lucy. Well, who' s the first.
- 8:50Actually maurist yef points to the Afar region, but there was another. There
- 8:58was another saying that we came from Africa. There were others who pointed out
- 9:03that we came from Africa. We will see in the 19th century, in
- 9:07Europe we are discovering remains of a human who did not understand very well who
- 9:11was then classified as the homo neanderthalensis. He was known to be human,
- 9:18not homo sapiens. Okay, and you' re classified? We have said
- 9:22how homonea will be classified over time, with the name homoneanderthalensis. All this
- 9:28throughout the 19th century. We have that in one thousand eight hundred and fifty
- 9:33- nine, Charles Darwing publishes the origin of the species and says that one
- 9:37species evolves from others and from what he states in his book. Hence they
- 9:41conclude one thing Darwin did not say that man comes from the monkey. Not
- 9:46only did Darwin Vale not say that, but Darwin said, I repeat,
- 9:50that one species evolve from another Vale. So we have said in the 19th
- 9:58century, in Europe remains of hons nessy are being found we have said that
- 10:01Charles Darwin publishes the origin of the species of one thousand eight hundred and fifty
- 10:05- nine, but during the 19th century, no one was pointing to Africa
- 10:09or anyone had gone to look for Africa for our first years, until in
- 10:15one thousand nine hundred twenty- four, a South African university professor, named
- 10:22Raymond Dart, discovers the skull of a child called the villageg boy who will
- 10:26be an African Australopiticus. A thousand nine hundred and twenty- four. A
- 10:31thousand nine hundred and twenty- four looks like it was. It seems that
- 10:35it was a student of this professor who discovered the skull and years later,
- 10:41it is science that accepts that discovery and is a human not unlike us,
- 10:46unlike Lomos Sapiens. Therefore, in nineteen hundred and twenty- four, if
- 10:50you already point out Africa and point out the Rift Valley is like the place
- 10:56where you had to Search Vale. It wasn' t clear before, but
- 11:00thanks to Raymond Dart' s discovery in nine hundred and twenty- four,
- 11:05with that boy from town Vale, that' s when all archaeologists go to
- 11:09the Rift Valley and start exploring, digging it up, and that' s
- 11:15where our genealogical tree begins to be built. Let' s talk about two
- 11:18great, two great archaeology, a marriage he' s made, history of
- 11:22archaeology, which is Louis and Mary Leike, which they investigate in northern Tanzania,
- 11:28in a field called Old Dubai' s Gorge. In the 1950s,
- 11:35that is, I' m fascinated by these people, that is, the
- 11:391920s, the 1950s, these people with a very, very, very basic
- 11:46knowledge that there were then already they were pointing and looking for me I'
- 11:52m fascinated by this marriage Luis and Mary Lake in northern Tanzania, in the
- 11:58throat of Dubai, because they are also investigating. And in a thousand nine
- 12:01hundred and fifty- nine, the woman discovers a new species, which is
- 12:07the Parish Boiseis. It is called boy six because the patron of that expedition,
- 12:11of that archaeological site was named Charles Boisset and named this new species for
- 12:16andropus boys six in honor of storing. The husband Luis Liki will discover two
- 12:22years later, in a thousand nine hundred and sixty- one, the homo
- 12:26Abilis. These who had heard that episode already know the human evolution, you
- 12:31see, you see that well, little by little it becomes complicated in our
- 12:35family, our family, And what happens that the great geniuses of history,
- 12:43because they point the way to other geniuses, the great geniuses that make,
- 12:48besides making geniuses, great discoveries and great contributions, what it does open the
- 12:54door and point the way to other geniuses. And Luis Likey had three disciples
- 13:01who encouraged them and asked them to investigate other primates, to investigate mostly the
- 13:07gorillas and see if they heard of three of Luis Leake' s disciples.
- 13:13We' re talking about Jane goodal Dyan, Foseite and Galdican. These three
- 13:18women, these three women who will investigate primates. Well somehow they were students
- 13:24with Luis Liki, the most famous, being from one of Dian Fhochic,
- 13:30who spent twenty years studying the gorilla in Rwanda and was killed it seems it
- 13:35has never been cleared up. It' s never been clear why and how
- 13:39she was murdered? It seems he was a poacher, but this woman spent
- 13:43twenty years living and investigating the gorilla in Rwanda. Well, then, Luis,
- 13:52if Mary Liki had a son who also engaged in archaeology. We'
- 13:56re talking about Richard Liked and attention. He returns to Ethiopia and in the
- 14:01valley of the Homo River discovers some fausols and attention who we lack for us,
- 14:07the Homosapias. Vale Richard likey discovers the remains of the oldest homosapien and
- 14:13discovers it in nineteen hundred and sixty- seven remains of Homosapien that are in
- 14:18three hundred and fifty thousand and two hundred thousand years old and are known as
- 14:24the men of Kibisch. In honor of the place where you are discovering worth
- 14:30and good. We have to mention a very important field, not only in
- 14:33Spain, but in Europe or for all humanity that is in Spain. We
- 14:37have the atapuerca deposit that is located in Burgos and look. In that field
- 14:43they have all been found, all in that field are all. Remains of
- 14:46men, of mountains, of mohal divergensis have been found. Let' s
- 14:50give an atder talent was, a field in which all tribes and all species
- 14:56ended up going. And this deposit is discovered at the end of five hundred
- 15:01and nineteen, in one thousand eight hundred and ninety- six a trench is
- 15:07to be built pardon a railroad. And in order to build a railway,
- 15:09a trench is opened for the train track and in the construction of that trench
- 15:13for that three- way there are discovered numerous caves where there were many human
- 15:22deposits that begin to discover, that begin to be investigated from the eighties and,
- 15:28above all, from a systematic way, starting from the nine hundred and
- 15:31ninety, that takes the direction to the suaga Bermúdez de Castro and Carbonell.
- 15:35And well, as we have said, in that archaeological site are found men
- 15:39your lovers of that hil of Bergen, without under Telency, etcetera, etcetera.
- 15:43I' m crazy about these guys. I mean, what people,
- 15:48people, what a blast that grace thanks to Tayev, Luis, Mary Lake,
- 15:56Johanson, Ibn, Coppens League, Luis Like and Dyan Fonsha and Richard
- 16:02all this Castro' s Bermúdez rock, that makes everyone. I' m
- 16:07all the shit out of this episode for you. I have said this attentively,
- 16:12attentively to my social networks that soon, soon, soon, I will
- 16:17publish my new book and well, I have a lot of illusion that it
- 16:25will come out, because it is very nice. I' m sending you
- 16:27a big, hearty hug. I hope you' re all right. Bye.
