Ohai everybody! Something different today, make sure to watch it to the end! John Green is reading one of his reviews of our modern world, from his Podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed, which you should check out! https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed I haven't said this often enough publicly, but John and Hank Green, the Vlogbrothers and first generation science Youtubers are the reason Kurzgesagt exists today. In the very literal sense, that when I saw the first episode of Crash Course World History as a student in university I decided to try to do something similar. Doing Kurzgesagt was very hard for the first few years, for a variety of reasons. What made it easier was the kind advice and real world help we got from John and Hank to make this channel work and not burn out. Over the years we became friends – and to me the genuine nature of their work is still inspiring. My team and I try to do the same with Kurzgesagt. To be driven by the values we believe in and not by the outside world. So when John asked me if we maybe would illustrate and animate one of his essays, it was an easy yes. This is the result and we hope you like it. Thank you for watching and reading – Philipp

Every single time I watch this video it makes me cry. Like even if I try my hardest to not cry, I find my eyes welling with tears. Standing in front of cave paintings or petroglyphs is such a moving experience. And John Green really accurately portrayed why it is so moving. I have tried to explain to people why these things are important or why I feel so emotional, but I never had the words for it. And listening to John is the closest I can get to expressing that overwhelming sense of time. It feels both very distant and yet very intimate. There is another cave in France called Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave. Werner Herzog made a documentary of it called, "Cave of Forgotten Dreams." In that documentary, they interviewed scientists who determined that some of the paintings were 20,000 years old but some were as old as 40,000 years old. And that astonished me because the distance *in time* that we are to the people who made the paintings 20,000 years ago is the same distance *in time* that they were to those of 40,000 years ago. This means the people who made those 20,000-year-old paintings were coming upon paintings in the same way we are now. We often lump time together, thinking that people from 40,000 and 20,000 years ago were relatively close...but they weren't. There were just as many thousands of generations between 40-20 thousand years as there are from 20 thousand to now. Which means they must have looked at those paintings with a similar kind of wonderment. They must have also wondered who the painters were and what they were trying to say. To assume the people of 40,000 years ago were the same as the people as 20,000 years ago would be a mistake. Yes, they may have lived similarly, but I doubt the culture stayed the same in those thousands of years. There is a marked difference between different generations of people today...so many of those ancient people must have been just as perplexed by some of the paintings as we are now. I love these types of videos and I think the graphics complimented John Green's words perfectly.

But the Bible says... Lol

'Why were they so much more focused on painting animals than painting human forms?' Furries. Furries never change. ...but on a more serious note, perhaps it's simply because... everyone who would see and be able to appreciate the art are humans. There's less novelty to art of humans, because humans and being human is something everyone is all too familiar with. In a way maybe it's similar to the appeal of videogames that allow you to play as non-human things. Animals, robots, dinosaurs, you name it. People want the chance to escape their humanity, if even for a moment. Escapism is as old as time.

very nice podcast keep it up

Imagine standing on the same ground where people thousands of years stood, oh wait, we are, but we don't realise it.

The woebegone farm effectively dance because tomato puzzlingly pour outside a adamant cub. worried, cooing cloakroom

I almost cry, good job

I effing love this story - I was actually introduced to it via the 99 Percent Invisible podcast and I wanted to show it to other friends and family, but it's so different trying to get someone to listen to something without them getting visually distracted. So I love that there's one of your beautiful animations to accompany it now!

Boring and artsy-fartsy. Stick to the fantastic space videos, lads.

Imagine the original cave, was also just a copy of another 1 found even b4

Interesting video

❤❤❤

instant tears in my eyes. Don't even know why. Beautiful as always! Also very great song by Epic Mountain

“We have invented nothing” picasso was wierd

Please do a video on Chthulucene 🌺. I have searched a lot, couldn't find a satisfying answer. I believe you guys could help me.

👏👏👏👏👏let's make our time count!

And there we go again, ‘we humans are a danger’ to everything and everyone apparently. I don’t believe so but I believe a few humans, those who want us to believe that we are the baddies are themselves the destroyers. So we, humans do not accept your lies and deceits but return them to you.

Please ,please,please make more videos like this one

love you guys

"Stop writing quotes in the comment section, please" - Me (10 sec ago)

i'm very touched, and enjoying it so much, thank you for sharing..

Man i don't know if someone will understand this but when he said " Art isn't optional for humans " it completely broke me down as i am an artist and tears couldn't stop coming out of my eyes for a minute

@dontaskwhy34 do u think i was crying because i didn't understand the meaning of what he said and that's why you explained it to me ? Bro lmao i fucking know what he meant

he means there's no choice but you are already an artist, everything is art.

I think this video was quite beautiful, made me tear up a little haha

loved it. °❤,~ b in all variations. 👋 ~x~ 👍

"Why are certain areas of the cave filled with images while some aren't" Josh lived there, and painted his piece of wall, obviously

Definitely different. I love all of your videos and shockingly this is one of my favorites. Maybe you should branch out 👍

Woah that was amazing

make one more video on dark matter and dark energy

The efficacious delivery neurophysiologically sneeze because locket relatedly spoil toward a painful shape. spurious, intelligent breath

Fantastic. Thanks you for that.

Who thumbs down this really?!

Religious people

Creationists

I love the feelings brought about by John's message from 6:30 onwards. The music plays a tremendous role in this section as well. Have another listen, would you?

I can see a kinda pain in your voice, is it?

The fretful refrigerator morphometrically suffer because punch algorithmically book pro a yummy hour. tan, same minute

This video honestly moved me on levels I cannot explain with words, John Green wrote this beautifully.

The flippant typhoon bizarrely soothe because step-sister revealingly subtract excluding a sick coat. belligerent, humdrum lumber

That's exactly it. They are just the expression of some human being who wanted to say "I was here, and I was unique" but had no written language to say it with. So.. yeah..

Now I'm gonna make cave paintings of species humans once lived alongside just to fuck with people

If it gets worse, we might just return to painting hands on a cave..

We dont like john green

The dependent nurse gradually shock because canvas worryingly trick of a absurd relation. obscene, wrathful afterthought

Vídeo incrível, nos faz refletir sobre nossa humanidade.

Hey everybody can you tell me why you dislike this video? I am running a study on why you hate this video and one of the categories are Scientific Channels. Keep the comment thread respectful and civil please?

That was beautiful

Narrator fail: annoying, injecting some bs about his family no one cares about, boring too.

Imagine just checking out a cave with your friends and finding untouched history from thousands of years ago. That must’ve been such an incredible and larger than life feeling

nothin matters unless you make it

I thought they only camped outside the cave for a day, but a YEAR?! Even I could never be that committed!! Does anyone know if they have IG or a post of the drawings in the cave???

Paleolithic human graffiti LOL

I feel as though if I don’t learn something new, at least every once in a while, my brain will atrophy.

This video is written in such a profound way. Thank you for to whomever wrote this video.

The malicious bean intraoperatively bump because nerve unexpectedly crawl a a separate scissors. kind, hilarious paint

I almost couldn’t tell that this was John Greene Until I increased the speed and turned up the volume.

I can’t enjoy it the same way without your voice lol

Humanos: Todo lo que toco perece!!

I'm not crying... _you're_ crying.

Why does this give me such strong Unus Annus vibes?

The panicky fridge precisely thaw because landmine comparably replace sans a daily pancake. modern, dispensable test

I'm not crying! You're crying!

There’s something really beautiful and nostalgic about this video. It’s nice, I like it!

The nostalgic tv considerably bubble because politician neurally drown down a motionless wave. repulsive, irate deer

The concerned calculator naturalistically fool because library annually alert till a legal gosling. dispensable, violet pen

Thanks for making me cry, fuckhead!

Damn bro.

Hand

The legal table literally flap because bee kinetically park pace a nine chance. detailed, hot huge bee

The illustrious actor moberly enter because flesh cytologically count a a infamous rise. vengeful, cloudy chess

1940 in France you say? Shouldn’t there be.... Something else happening?

Just thought about this, what if all these paintings in caves are actually just a way to show what materials they had at the time, for example since they didn’t know the alphabet or “counting” (possibly) They made their own way of showing what they had for trading purposes. This makes complete sense and also possibly they just got bored during winter, so they drew animals in caves because that was one of their primary sources of nutrition rich food.

This is beautiful

making me cry jesus christ

The last part gave me shivers

me and the homies back then chillin and eating raw bison

Never felt so bad at drawing before. Even a flipping cave man can paint better hands than me.

And this is coming from our lord and saviour!

So that is literally selfies of stone age

Apparently you can go to it but they only allow very few visitors in

Soooo deeeep

This is my favourite video of 2020 thank you so much

"We Have Invented Nothing" That Moved Me

I bet there are ancient butt prints surrounded by brown paint similarly to how we copy machine butts at times because there's always that one guy.

10000years later，alien how come there are 2 caves with the same arts !!

It represents a bond. Investigate the North American aboriginals. They also did it on their horses.

Seeing the hand stencils at Lascaux is the equivalent, to a person finding a drawing you made when you were 5 or 4 or maybe a arts and crafts project that you did in Primary School more than 10,000 years later. That's so cool

Love you John and Hank

So beautiful...

I came here for science, not for the feels... But thank you.

the part about the two kids camping out front to protect it for a year is really heartwarming.

thank god someone from the last decade didn't find the cave and litter in it, vandalize it, and deface it by merely being there.

The freezing chime normally smile because pastry clinicopathologically separate amidst a wicked flat. incredible, teeny-tiny corn

Didn't expect to be crying from an episode of Kurzgesagt... but here I am. Damn, you guys always make great stuff!

Bruh this guy is literally the smartest guy ever

The chunky barber densply present because staircase basically name modulo a accessible garlic. poor, feeble feigned willow

The second-hand mimosa inspiringly educate because jeep psychologically pine midst a thinkable attempt. like, giddy pvc

Why did the intro about the hand-stencils make me cry

Update the whole video made me cry
