New Video: Your Neanderthal DNA
Added 2024-09-16 13:00:13 +0000 UTCIf you've ever taken one of those consumer DNA tests, it might have informed you that you have a little bit of DNA inherited from Neanderthals. In our latest episode, we explore how scientists figured that out. The final chapter of the video showcases one of my favorite methods ever; archeologists managed to discover the very first evidence of a Neanderthal-Sapiens encounter by examining fossilized smoke.
For our Howtown Heroes, Council Members, and Mayors, we have a Q&A video up on Patreon we reflect on our goals and answer some audience questions - mostly about our Mercury Fountain short.
Since our last update, we officially passed the 200,000 subscriber mark! On a whim, Adam decided to thank our Patreon supporters by writing them a song about his favorite map projection.
Plus: two new shorts:
What's with that hot air balloon they make you look at during eye exams?
An ancient skeleton that was found fused to a cave wall (one of the strangest images I've ever come across while reading research papers)
Wishing I had saved this for a Halloween post!
Joss has a new episode coming out next week, and I think it's going to make you happy.
Cheers,
Adam (& Joss)
