    The Plants & The Bees: Plant Reproduction - CrashCourse Biology #38

    Hank gets into the dirty details about vascular plant reproduction: they use the basic alternation of generations developed by nonvascular plants 470 million years ago, but they've tricked it out so that it works a whole lot differently compared to the way it did back in the Ordovician swamps where it got its start. Here's how the vascular plants (ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms) do it.

    On this Crash Course in World Mythology, Mike Rugnetta is teaching you about floods and deluges, specifically in China. In Chinese myth, flood stories pretty much all revolve around a guy named Yu the Great, or Yu the Engineer. In the distant past, he was tasked with stopping the flooding on the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, and he did it. After working on the job for 13 years. Yu also founded the legendary Xia Dynasty. Yu exists as a sort of model for future emperors. He works tirelessly on behalf of his people, and always does the right thing. He's a good emperor, and a model for rulers to emulate. He's also super cool, and can turn into a bear when he needs to dig really fast.

    In which John Green teaches you about World War I and how it got started. Crash Course doesn't usually talk much about dates, but the way that things unfolded in July and August of 1914 are kind of important to understanding the Great War. You'll learn about Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Pincep, the Black Hand, and why the Serbian nationalists wanted to kill the poor Archduke. You'll also learn who mobilized first and who exactly started the war. Sort of. Actually there's no good answer to who started the war, but we give it a shot anyway.

In this episode of Crash Course Film History, Craig takes us through the beginnings of independent cinema.

  • The Golden Age of Hollywood: Crash Course Film History #11

    9:56

    It's time for the glitz and the glamour of big motion pictures that helped keep American spirits up during and after the Great Depression. Sound was a huge change to motion pictures, but there were still a few technological innovations to come, like color and aspect ration. Today, Craig walks us through the Golden Age of Hollywood.

  • Socialization: Crash Course Sociology #14

    9:36

    Last week we introduced the idea of socialization and today we’re talking a little more about how it works, including an introduction to five main types of socialization. We’ll explore anticipatory socialization from your family, the “hidden curriculum” in schools, peer groups, the role of media in socialization, and we’ll discuss total institutions and how they can act as a form of re-socialization.

  • Floods in the Ancient Near East: Crash Course Mythology #16

    10:23

    This week on Crash Course mythology, Mike is talking to you about floods. You may have heard the story of Noah and the Ark from the Bible, but that is not the only deluge story humans tell. It's a common thing across culture. You could say the study of mythology is...flooded with them. Sorry. We'll be looking at floods from Mesopotamia from the Epic of Gilgamesh, and a flood story from the Zoroastrian tradition. And we'll look at a Roman flood story from Ovid's metamorphosis. It's a deluge of flood stories!

    Most of the stories and quotations in this episode are adapted from David Leeming's Mythology textbook, The World of Myth.

    In which John Green teaches you about conflict in Israel and Palestine. This conflict is often cast as a long-term beef going back thousands of years, and rooted in a clash between religions. Well, that's not quite true. What is true is that the conflict is immensely complicated, and just about everyone in the world has an opinion about it. John is going to try to get the facts across in under 13 minutes.

    Memory & Storage: Crash Course Computer Science #19

    12:17

    Pre-order our limited edition Crash Course: Computer Science Floppy Disk Coasters here!
    So we’ve talked about computer memory a couple times in this series, but what we haven’t talked about is storage. Data written to storage, like your hard drive, is a little different, because it will still be there even if the power goes out - this is known as non-volatile memory. Today we’re going to trace the history of these storage technologies from punch cards, delay line memory, core memory, magnetic tape, and magnetic drums, to floppy disks, hard disk drives, cds, and solid state drives. Initially, volatile memory, like RAM was much faster than these non-volatile storage memories, but that distinction is becoming less and less true today.

    CORRECTION: AT 5:00 we say around 9 kilobytes when we should have said kilobits.

    Why Human Evolution Matters: Crash Course Big History 204

    11:30

    This week on Crash Course Big History, Emily is talking about process of human evolution, and the knack for innovation that has allowed humans to become so dominant on the Earth. Human innovation, and the ability to build on those innovations generation after generation is what makes humans different than other animals. Collective learning is enabled by our highly evolved and efficient ability to communicate with each other and pass on information. With great power, of course, comes great responsibility, and how we use this powerful tool has kind of a mixed track record.

    12:22

    Today we're talking about evolution–basically the history of all life on Earth. The thing is, why are we talking about this. Well, the story of life, all the way back to single celled microbes billions of years ago, is all part of our human story. An important facet of the story of life is the story of death. This episode will look at the various mass extinctions along the way, and we'll also talk about the sixth mass extinction, which is going on now, and is kind of driven by humans. Sorry everybody.

    In which John Green teaches you about capitalism and socialism in a way that is sure to please commenters from both sides of the debate. Learn how capitalism arose from the industrial revolution, and then gave rise to socialism. Learn about how we got from the British East India Company to iPhones and consumer culture in just a couple of hundred years. Stops along the way include the rise of industrial capitalism, mass production, disgruntled workers, Karl Marx, and the Socialist Beard. The socialist reactions to the ills of capitalism are covered as well, and John discusses some of the ideas of Karl Marx, and how they've been implemented or ignored in various socialist states. Plus, there are robots!

    A five minute musical explanation of how meiosis creates variation!

    Lyrics
    Meiosis, it's how we make sex cells, or gametes
    The sperm cells or egg cells performing the feat
    Of moving genes forward in eukaryotes like orchids and bees.
    Meiosis doesn't happen in all cells of the body
    There's just a few cells that have this hobby
    I'm talking 'bout germ cells in testes and ovaries,

    Germ cells are diploid and what that means,
    Is that the chomosomes are matched up in teams,
    In each pair one's from your dad, one's from your mother.
    And when you line up the chromosomes it's suddenly clear
    How each is a member of a matched up pair,
    Homologous pairs, each a homologue of the other.

    In humans,the diploid number's forty six,
    And a key trick that happens in meiosis
    is dividing that number in half to 23
    And that single set of chromosomes has its own name
    It's called haploid in this meiotic game.
    So diploid to haploid's a key meiotic strategy.

    CHORUS
    Meiosis, makes eggs and sperm
    It's the same in the robin as it is in the worm.
    Makes haploid gametes with recombination,
    Meiosis creates variation!

    In interphase I meiosis starts,
    It's the DNA replication part
    An evolutionary relic of its origin,
    'Cause meiosis evolved from mitosis you see,
    So each process starts identically
    Replicating chromosomes into two sister chromatids.

    In Prophase I chromosomes coil up, and homologous pairs pair up,
    Forming tetrads, each with chromatids four.
    A chiasma's the spot where the chromatids link
    And synapsis is the name for the whole darn thing,
    And crossing over is what this whole process is for.

    See the homologues aren't identical twins-- no way!
    They're not the same DNA
    The genes are the same but the alleles might take different forms,
    So during synapsis alleles can cross over,
    Between homologues, and when it's all over,
    There are gene combinations that have never been seen before.

    CHORUS

    Another meiotic variety creator,
    Is metaphase one with homologues at the equator,
    Cause how each pair lines up is random and independent,
    So in one pair facing north might be the maternal,
    In the next one it might be the paternal,
    It's a one in two shot, it's called independent assortment.

    So two pairs divide up in four distinct ways,
    It's two to the number of pairs, you could say
    So think 'bout us humans with 23 homologous pairs
    Two to the 23rd power is a number so great,
    Is 8 million,three eighty eight thousand, six-oh-eight
    That's why metaphase one is a variety creating affair

    And now connect this assortment with recombination,
    Note that what we've got during gamete creation,
    Is sperm and egg cells that are absolutely unique
    So if you ever wondered how sisters and brothers,
    Can be so different from one another,
    Remeber these meotic recombining techniques.

    BRIDGE
    And if meiosis had never evolved
    The book of life would be a very different tome.
    Cause if it wasn't for meiosis
    All offspring would be clones!

    Metaphase one: homologues at the equator
    Anaphase one: they say see you later
    It's like Mom and Dad splitting up and setting up new homes.
    Two nuclei form in telophase one,
    Then cytokinesis-meiosis one is done,
    We've got two haploid daughters, still with doubled chromosomes.

    Now things are much simpler in part two of meiosis
    Essentially it's like just mitosis,
    You just need to pull those sister chromatids apart,
    They line up in the center in metaphase two
    Anaphase pulls them apart we're almost through,
    Telophase, then cytokinesis, we're at the last part.

    CHORUS
