Watch The Earth 300,000 Years Ago | 300,000 Subscribers Special in New Channel | Channify

What was our planet like 300,000 years ago? What sort of animals were around? What was the climate and geography like? And which human species were alive? Thank you so much for getting the channel to (well over) 300,000 subscribers! We're just a little bit late to this one... Please let us know of any inaccuracies that may be in the video - this was a big project and we talk about a lot of controversial and ongoing research topics, so apologies in advance if we got something wrong!
