The same guy has a video called "The History of Japan". It's really good and there are some things in it that very few Japanese were taught. One Japanese history teacher said that he was amazingly accurate.
@@MynameisS_A i found that somewhere it wasn't just something I thought of. He made this video not long after he made the history of japan. It also explains why he barely mentions Japan at all here.
5:30 “The sun is a deadly laser” live in my head rent free because I must have watched a reaction on this a hundred times 😂😂 Really enjoyed this guys, I already love the video but the reaction was awesome!💪
What is the ancestor of horses? Eohippus The horse's ancestor is thought to have been a primitive creature about the size of a fox which emerged sometime after the time of the dinosaurs. Called Eohippus, this diminutive animal had four toes, and lived in the dense jungles that then covered much of North America.
I'd also like to add that wild horses were selectively bred by humans and domesticated over 6000 years ago. Przewalski's horse is closest living species to prehistoric wild horses alive today. They are considered a vulnerable species and they are a distinct species separate from domesticated horses , meaning they cannot interbreed with the horses we keep on farms
They can inter-breed and produce fertile offspring even though they have 2 more chromosomes than domesticated horses. The offspring have 1 more chromosome.
The best parts of these videos is learning how things we learn in history aren't separate. We learn about certain historical events, but on a worldwide scale, so much of those events are happening at the same time. History is important. Knowing about the timelines relative to each other gives a bigger picture. A deeper understanding.
I mean technically we are still apes, Great Apes to be exact. Also I love how when I originally watched this video the moment at 6:13 was so "okay an extinction event happened there thats sad" whereas having the info I have now of the Permian Mass Extinction makes this so morbidly funny. When he says (mostly) everything's dead, he was not kidding. matter of fact I want to recommend to you "The Great Dying: The Permian Mass Extinction" by The Budget Museum, I think you'd like this video.
Chimpanzee and bonobo are humans' closest living relatives. ... Humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA. 1970's science trivia. Researchers taught a gorilla sign language. While groundbreaking then it is now generally accepted that apes can learn to sign and are able to communicate with humans. 80's science trivia, groups of Chimpanzees have been observed making and using very simple tools.
Here's something that might blow someone's mind: The best way to imagine the size of an atom is to remember this; *a spec of Dust is half way in size between the size of the Earth and the size of an atom.* To expand on that, imagine if the Earth was a spec of dust, then a spec of dust would be the size of an atom. Also, Beesley, hit the special channel like button on the comments. It makes the commenters feel happy and special. Happy and special commenters are more likely to comment again. More comments means your videos get boosted in the algorithm.
James:"I'm not going to do the monkey voice . Dogs bark , what do the monkeys sound like"? Millie: : "Ooo - Ooo ... Aaa - Aaa" 🤣 Thanks for that one ! Still grinning about that .
Humans didn't "come from" apes. Humans are still apes, and always will be. As species evolve they always remain a member of the larger clade they diverged from. Even if humans were to continue evolving until we were something very different than we are today that creature would still be an ape. Same goes for any other extant ape species.
Yeah i was going to say this too. Another way to look at it is that we have a common ancestor where proto-apes and proto-humans split from. We can't look at modern humans and say that we came from modern apes because the ape you see today already branched off and evolved differently from us for many many millions of years.
Well, we make some exceptions with that. Otherwise you would need to classify any tetrapod including humans as Sarcopterygii which is a clade of fish. So instead we use Sarcopterygii as a paraphyletic clade which means we include all descendants of a common ancestor with the exception of a specific subgroup: tetrapods in this case. We have something similar with birds. Technically we would need to include birds in the reptile class, because they are direct descendants of dinosaurs and closely related with crocodilians (both crocodialians and turtles are more closely related to birds than to any other reptile) and we do have a clade to represent that - Sauropsida. But even many zoologists still distinguish between reptilians and birds, because birds are just so different that it makes sense to view them as an own class.
I know it's different by area but I grew up in the Chicagoland area and we learned most of this stuff. We had US history and world history for classes in Jr high and high school and I remember in elementary school, we had whole lessons on Egypt, Mesopotamia, Aztecs, and Mayans.
What I enjoy about this seeing everything chronologically. I learned about all this but it’s hard to understand without the timeline. Seeing all of this put into order brings a new perspective to everything
I think one of the things I learned from this video was how very, very old China is. Even when they broke apart, they always kept thinking of themselves as the same country (or at least broadly). Enough to be repeatedly united, get broken and reunites. It was sort of mentioned in class, but it's different hearing about it and having it laid out side by side to other history
I don't think they necessarily thought of themselves as the same country. That is a much more recent concept. For example, Athenians and Spartans very much saw themselves as different people, who simply spoke the same language.
No we did come from apes we just didn’t come from modern apes like chimps and gorillas etc. humans are a subset of the ape/primate family much in the same way lions are a subset of feline’s and ducks are a subset of birds.
This is fantastic I just watched your channel for the first time with the Abbott and Costello routine who's on first which was very enjoyable. And I searched to see if you had done this one because I was going to recommend it and now I get to spend 20 minutes with you guys watching it I've seen this dozens of times. Next I have to search and see if you've done my other favorite on how big the universe is... All the best you both.
18:53 Obviously “The Indies” and “Japan” is meant to be sarcasm there, Bill really should have put it in quotes That’s the Bahamas and Cuba obviously, not India and Japan as Columbus thought 😋
My son and I have watched this video so much we go around quoting from it quite a bit. Lol. My favorite is always "the sun is a deadly Lazer" and my sons is "not anymore, there's a blanket"
'Blueprint is you throw anything in there and make it as crazy as possible ' (about the 16:20 mark). Just can't agree with that - the Maker of the video might sound like he's out of control and just talking about anything that pops into his head but it took him so long to research this video to try and condense everything important into as short an amount of time as possible, as accurately as possible AND to make it entertaining so EVERYTHING he's talking about is well considered and important and fits into the narrative with very little wasted or unnecessary content.
I'll be honest I only understood about 1/3 of what you said at the start, James, but y'all still do fun reactions and pick good videos so I reckon that ain't a hill a beans.
I love this video because it puts history into perspective. My particular area of study and speciality spans about a millennium, but it flies by in less than 30 seconds in this video. Lol.
FBS, or the Football Bowl Subdivision, consists of 11 different conferences: the ACC, American, Big 12, Big Ten, C-USA, Independent, MAC, Mountain West, PAC-12, SEC and Sun Belt conferences. Every State has at least 2 major colleges (University) we also have community colleges as well as secondary Colleges. If this helps any
Humans are apes too and you should see chimps and gorillas more as cousins to us, not that we came from them. We all have a common ancestor. I loved this reaction video!
Horses started in North America, so did camels. It is estimated they both were extinct in North America about eight to ten thousand years ago, but had already managed to travel elsewhere, and further evolve. Some think they were exterminated by humans eating them, but I think it was the herbivores versus carnivores of the time. There were numerous herbivores and not so many predators to keep their numbers down. That left too many species depending on the plants available. There were more aggressive grazers, and larger animals better able to munch on trees.
Greed was a factor, but colonization was also driven by survival. If a rival country occupied new land and you didn't, they could gain a huge advantage over you economically, industrially, geostrategically (they can keep people, ships, weapons, gold, industry etc. safely out of your reach, have more homeland from which to stage attacks, take control of important trade routes,) etc. It also creates incentives for private industry to improve naval technology and increase total ships conscriptable for a war effort. Plus most wars were won by sheer numbers, and you need land for food and housing to keep growing a healthy population
22:51 “That’s cruel”, he said angrily not realising that British empire was a whole lot more cruel than the Americans. He raised his eyebrow at the revelation of Americans killing the Mexicans and the natives, the perfect British past time… Sitting in the dense woods, sipping tea with some tasty biscuits and calling out on the other people for being incompetent totally ignoring the fact that the other hand represents. Ah yes, the manifest destiny of The Great Britain. (For legal purposes, this is supposed to be a joke. No harm was intended to the OP)
In regards to people talking about how certain practices & actions in history as being "just the way things were back then," & that people just didn't see it as being wrong. But, there were always people opposed to slavery & who spoke out against it. Even in the work attributed to Aristotle in Politics Book 1 section 1253b he mentions: "... others however maintain that for one man to be another man's master is contrary to nature, because it is only convention that makes the one a slave and the other a freeman and there is no difference between them by nature, and that therefore it is unjust, for it is based on force." Which indicates even all the way back then people spoke out about it. There was also in every society that have slavery a quite large proportion of that society who was opposed to slavery... the slaves.
"It's just so crazy to think that we came from like an ape!" God I love you kids. If it helps, I'm a 387lb American Male. I'm a little softer in the belly after I spent two years in a wheelchair. But I'm still fairly well built. When I bounced at the bars, when I coached American Football and high school wrestling...my friends all lovingly referred to me as a "Silverback". LOL. So, maybe not so distant from the ape ancestry. LOL.
At the risk of stirring up an argument... From the point at which life was first mentioned with DNA here you might look up Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). After this the oceanic reference to The Cambrian Explosion begins to explain the evolution of various different species. As some of those began to crawl out and live on land they evolved differently creating vastly different things species to species that evolved then went extinct. This process continues now and will continue - with or without humans.
One can call it 'greed' with colonization and empire expansion, but the reality is that's how the world worked for the entirety of human history up the point it wasn't, which was very recently. It was that way in Africa, in pre-colonial Americas, Middle East, Asia, Europe... everywhere.
Don't worry. I'm laughing, too. And, yes, they did skim over the history of the UK, really fast. But... maybe no faster than any other country? I didn't expect much for the US because, we're a baby country, really.
It's not so much that we "came from monkeys" as it is we are a member of the ape family (then and still) and we have ancestors in common with other great apes. You can not point to another member of the great apes (say a bonobo or a gorilla ) and say that's what people used to be, But you can look and say we have the same great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparents. BTW have you two ever watched Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"?
Humans are apes and humans didn't come from monkeys. We both came from a single ancestor and then monkeys and humans branched off separately from one another.
If you ever study Chinese history, you would go nuts. It's so chaotic. A video done in this style just on Chinas history could probably be a few hours long. And you would probably learn nothing. As I did trying to study its history.
Hello y'all this is Gary from Tennessee. Great reaction on the history of the world or whatever it's called lol. I'm still enjoying your channel. Thanks to you both.
I have one favor to ask. When you run the video please turn up the video volume. I can hear you both very well but have to turn my tv up to almost max volume to hear the reviewed video & when you make comments it’s sooo loud I have to quickly reduce volume to not blow speakers or wake everyone in the house. Thanks guys love the video’s & comments
That's really strange... watching it on my phone the volume is equal for both the reaction and the HOTEWIG video. Tho I've definitely had stuff like that happen on my TV, as well, where a video sounds weirder than it should otherwise. Maybe try watching it on a phone or laptop? It might be the TV speakers being dumb.
America's education system is such shit but one thing we were taught (at least when I went to school) was world history. I figure that's because we are such a melting pot of people.
I'm a little tipsy on a Friday night, enjoying my third (!) glass of wine as I enjoy Beesley's reaction to everything he should have already known about. (No criticism - just observation). I love (LOVE) your videos, so please them coming! You guys are so entertaining! I love your "innocence" (I know that's a potentially dirty word, but I don't mean it in that context). I'm an old codger, and I really think it's sweet that you maintain a certain level of innocence. I realize that "innocence" is almost a dirty word among some, but it's not meant in that context at this time. Thank you for your "open" appraisal of current situations. You're a lovely couple.
