Dig into the science of how new volcanoes form, and what causes their unpredictable eruptions. Uploaded 13-07-20--In February of 1942, Mexican farmer Dionisio Pulido thought he heard thunder coming from his cornfield. However, the sound wasn’t coming from the sky. The source was a large, smoking crack emitting gas and ejecting rocks, and would come to be known as the volcano Paricutin. Where do new volcanoes like this come from, and what triggers their unpredictable eruption?

Trace the origins of zombies from the Afro-Haitian religion of vodou, and discover how zombification was a reflection of slavery.--Zombies have a distinct lineage— one that traces back to Equatorial and Central Africa.

Discover how evolution and natural selection influence why the human body has vestigial organs— body parts that no longer serve their original purpose. Uploaded 11-11-19--You know that little pink thing nestled in the corner of your eye? It’s actually the remnant of a third eyelid. In humans, it’s vestigial, meaning it no longer serves its original purpose.
