Because evolution is just an r short of revolution (I don’t know I’m just spitballing here), this is a video featuring a brief evolutionary history of Theo Jansen’s wind-powered Strandbeests, culminating in footage of his most recent species. Do, uh, do these things mate? And do you think they’ll ever

This is a video of pianist Vinheteiro (previously) performing a medley of music chronologically from 1680 (Pachabel’s Canon) to 1935 (Carlos Gardel’s Por Una Cabeza) as a very abbreviated evolution of music. I learned a lot by listening to it. Mostly, that they sure don’t make them like they used

This is a video of pianist Lord Vinheteiro (previously) performing a medley of Johann Sebastian Bach chronologically from 1707 – 1750 to hear his musical evolution from age 22 – 65. Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m tone-deaf and have absolutely zero musical inclinations, but I wasn’t able

This is a video of doctor of evolutionary biology ChuckDarwin (I guess he was cryogenically frozen?) discussing the extra ocelli (Latin: little eyes) some insects have, and their purpose. According to research, the simple eyes only gather information about light and dark, and help flying insects maintain their orientation to

This is a video of from Insider, which took a deep dive into the evolution of car chases in movies over the last 100 years, with the addition of techniques like using modified cars and chase vehicles, to undercranking the film (filming at a slower frame-rate so playback at regular

This is a video highlighting the evolution of Boston Dynamics’ ATLAS humanoid robot over the past 40 years, including from before Boston Dynamics even existed and early legged robotic locomotion was being studied at MIT’s Leg Lab. It was actually pretty interesting to see the walking technology develop. Sometimes by

Named for famed British naturalist and personal hero David Attenborough, this is a picture of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi), snapped by a camera trap during an expedition in the Cyclops Mountains in Indonesia’s Papua Province. It is the first time since 1961 that scientists have managed to spot the

These are several videos of a sugar glider named Titan Bool leaping from heights to glide and land on his owner’s hand. For those of you unfamiliar, sugar gliders are small gliding marsupials native to Australia, and can glide like flying squirrels (which are rodents and not related, but an
