Reddit mentions of Lone Survivors: How We Came to Be the Only Humans on Earth

If you like reading you could check out this book by Chris Stringer, I think it has a different title in the US. He is one of the anthropologists that feature in that video, it is a good read, really easy to get into(if you like reading). It is really fairly balanced and looks at competing theories pretty objectively. It is a good modern look our recent evolution. Pick it up from the library if they have it!

I really like this sort of stuff, to me it is one of the most interesting and epic of journeys.

Some great answers in here, but if you really want to understand then you will want to dive into a documentary, lecture, or book.

Books!

Relatively light reading: https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Planet-Search-Origins-MacSci/dp/1137278307/

A bit higher level: https://www.amazon.com/Lone-Survivors-Came-Humans-Earth/dp/1250023300

Textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-World-Human-Evolution-Second/dp/0500288984

For books, The Fossil Trail and The Complete World of Human Evolution are good overviews, while Sapiens and Lone Survivors are interesting accounts of evidence about the emergence of our species.

I also really recommend the CARTA lectures available on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1B24EADC01219B23.

You can browse through that playlist to look for interesting topics, or search for something like 'carta university california' or 'carta uctv' or 'carta uctv [topic]' to see what's popular, or follow YouTube's recommendations between videos. Each one is pretty short at ~20 min, with 3 sometimes linked in hour-long videos.

There's a wide range of evidence and interpretations about things like coexistence of varieties vs intra-population diversity, the general nature and causes of genetic structure between populations, extinction due to direct conflict or competition vs. other factors, and so on - so it helps to see the range of viewpoints between different researchers, and range of evidence and interpretations from different fields.

These are some examples:

I'd recommend Lone Survivors: How we became the only Humans on Earth by Chris Stringer. It has some wordy technical terms, but overall a pretty accessible read.

Short synopsis: There are several types of Parrots, Bovine species and so on, so why aren't there several types of co-existing Hominid species? This books takes a look at our distant origins and explores some reasons as to why we're the only Humans left on Earth.
