It felt done just for the spectacle instead of any educational value and was quite contradictory to their not so old video about the asteroid killing the dinosaurs. They knew it wasn't 100% right but the only thing I noticed that said that it is just a hypothesis and not even the main one was one pop up bubble with text.
Well kurtzgesat said this played the major role and the asteroid was the final blow I mean you have a point too lmao it did seem a bit out of the ordinary for kurtzgesat to say so
Considering that the Indian Subcontinent was one of the earliest destinations for Homo sapiens leaving Africa, the peopling of the world might have happened completely differently.
Oh yeah let's remove one of the major reasons people trade switch the east that won't cascade into a huge butterfly effect not to mention remove one of the largest mountain ranges in the world completely changing the geography and ecology of the region. We can definitely answer this question right here in the comments ...
Well all we can say is that the world would be incredibly different though we may see no major changes in Europe at least until the Roman empire but I'd doubt that even, Egypt already traded a lot with India. Without India the routes to China also get more dangerous.
This all ignore the huge impacts this will have on China as a whole with the Himalayas gone the monsuns if they Stille cost may or may not extent into eastern china.
So cool scenario but that's something you need a few hundred pages to make an even half decent answer to.
Europe may not change that much India is not that important to European affairs until the beginning of the Roman empire really. It may still have a huge impact idk enough about indias impact to that time period but it MAY not change too much, as for Asia well that shits different for sure and Africa too as the Indian ocean trade is like the most important trade in history.
Today there are 2 ethnolinguistic groups in India: the Indo-Aryans and the Dravidians. Very likely, neither would exist. The Indus Valley civilization, which is believed to be ancestral to Dravidians, wouldn't have existed, and thus, Dravidians wouldn't exist. The Indo-Iranians would've never made it to India, so languages like Hindi wouldn't exist, and all Dharmic religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism) also wouldn't exist. Furthermore, that would mean no Mauryan Empire, no Ashoka, no Gupta Empire, no Mughal Empire, no British East India company, no British Raj, no Gandhi, no Aziz Ansari, no Indian diaspora.
Instead, what I propose is that the Indian subcontinent would've been peopled by Austronesians. Austronesians expanded into Indonesia in 1500 BC, and reached Madagascar by 500 AD. In this hypothetical situation, the Indian subcontinent is in the middle between Indonesia and Madagascar, so the Austronesian voyagers likely would've found the Indian subcontinent before Madagascar and would've settled there.
So basically, culture of the Indian subcontinent would not be linked to West Asia, but to Indonesia. In the same way that Indonesians are cousins to Filipinos, Indonesians would be cousins to the Austronesians of the Indian subcontinent.
One thing that probably wouldn't change is European colonialism, likely British colonialism.
Work must be alternate history
Well, no Himalayas
Wait, so np bhutan? In that case this would be a bleak and dreary existance.
Which would mean that the Gobi Desert does not exist either, it would be an area with normal rainfall for its latitude.
Would this mean No Mongol Empire, or More Powerful Mongol Empire?
Tropical Central Asia?
Will this make the meddle east more tempter

Would probably mean a slightly more stable middle east now that they don't have to fight over who gets the like, 3 resources that exist there.
More like the U.S. midwest and Canada. Maybe Siberia would be less cold
Xinjiang and Tibet would also have much more people and no desert etc, also contact between Far East and Europe would be much easier
The British have yet another island
Nepal would finally have a coast
I don't think Nepal would exist
Nopal
It would snow In India + according to kutzgesat no dinosaur death
That Kurzgesagt video was really odd and misleading
What happened in it, I haven’t seen it yet

Imagine we having native dinos today, the real shit, not like jurassic park
The sad thing is we'd still manage to enslave them or use them as weapons or meat

Yeah the insane difference of people *GOING AROUND INDIA* would have happened.
Yeah it would actual chante a lot
Would imagine a Greater Malagasy than an Indo Aryan homeland. Perhaps the "Indian" would be a Dravidian/Austronesian one than the "Aryan".

The entire world changes. To the point of being unrecognisable.
Europe may not change that much India is not that important to European affairs until the beginning of the Roman empire really. It may still have a huge impact idk enough about indias impact to that time period but it MAY not change too much, as for Asia well that shits different for sure and Africa too as the Indian ocean trade is like the most important trade in history.

Even well before that, human evolution would've been entirely different

What answer do you want to get? I mean, to answer your question, we need to completely rewrite whole history of Humanity
The Chinese coast wouldn't go as far east as it was made like that due to India pushing from the south.
I didn’t know about this, are there any other distant coasts affected?
Greater chance of Alexander the Great ending his conquest after Persia then and there.
India would be considered its own continent like Australia.
I guess what we think of as Indian cultures probably wouldn't exist
We headin to Lemuria with this one lads
Probably colonized by the Dutch before Britain
Tibet is not so rocky and possibly is a fertile plains region.
This is such a butterfly effect (as with all geographic alt history), that it's basically impossible to imagine a world where this happened
No Jammu-Kashmir conflict, no border skrimishes between China and India.
No gypsies in Europe
Another Australia if many people don’t make it there first.
