Why Did All Other Ancient Humans Vanish? (

Right now, on Earth, there is only one species of human—us. But just 50,000 years ago, at least five different human species walked the planet at the same time, including Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo floresiensis, and Homo naledi. What happened to them? Did Homo sapiens outsmart them, or was their extinction caused by something else? In this video, we break down the evolutionary timeline to reveal why Homo sapiens survived while every other version of human vanished—and why a piece of them still lives inside your DNA today.
