👁Why do we have hair in such random places?
🧠Nina G. Jablonski
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣We have lots in common with our closest primate relatives. But comparatively, humans seem a bit... underdressed. Instead of thick fur covering our bodies, many of us mainly have hair on top of our heads— and a few other places. So, how did we get so naked? And why do we have hair where we do? Nina G. Jablonski explores the evolution of human hair. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Nikola Radivojevic].

👁Why monkeys (and humans) are wired for fairness
🧠Sarah Brosnan
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Fairness matters ... to both people and primates. Sharing priceless footage of capuchin monkeys responding to perceived injustice, primatologist Sarah Brosnan explores why humans and monkeys evolved to care about equality -- and emphasizes the connection between a healthy, cooperative society and everyone getting their fair share.

👁Would you raise the bird that murdered your children?
🧠Steve Rothstein
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣A mother honeyguide has placed its chick into a bee-eater's nest— puncturing all the other eggs in the nest and leaving only its own hatching alive. Over the following weeks, the host parents devotedly care for the hatchling whose mother murdered their offspring. This is brood parasitism, a phenomenon which is especially well-known among birds. Steve Rothstein digs into the evolutionary strategy. [Directed by Mauricio Bueno, Lucy Animation Studio, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Adam Alexander and Gavin Dodds].

👁Is human evolution speeding up or slowing down?
🧠Laurence Hurst
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In the past 3,000 years, many populations have evolved genetic adaptations to their local environments. People in Siberia and the high arctic are uniquely adapted to survive extreme cold. The Bajau people can dive 70 meters and stay underwater for almost 15 minutes. So what are other recent changes? And will our technological innovations impact our evolution? Laurence Hurst investigates. [Directed by Philip Piaget & Rikke Planeta, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by André Aires].

👁Why do cats have vertical pupils?
🧠Ceren Nur Durmuş
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Peering into the eyes of different animals, you'll see some extraordinarily shaped pupils. House cats, for one, are twilight hunters with vertically elongated pupils. Many grazing animals, like goats, have rectangular pupils. Other animals have crescent- or heart-shaped pupils. So, what's going on? Why are there so many different pupil shapes? Emma Bryce digs into the science of animal vision. [Directed by Bálint Gelley, CUB Animation Ltd, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by József Iszlai].

👁Which animal has the best eyesight?
🧠Thomas W. Cronin
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣The animal kingdom boasts an incredible diversity of eyes. Some rotate independently while others have squiggly-shaped pupils. Some have protective lids, others squirt blood. But which creature has the best sight? Which sees best in the darkness? Which sees the most detail? Which animal sees the most color? And finally, which detects motion the fastest? Thomas W. Cronin investigates. [Directed by Josefina Preumayr, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by André Aires].

👁Why are cockroaches so hard to kill?
🧠Ameya Gondhalekar
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In ancient Egypt, there was a spell that declared, "Be far from me, O vile cockroach." Thousands of years later, we're still trying to oust these insects. But from poison traps to brandished slippers, cockroaches seem to weather just about everything we throw at them. So, what makes cockroaches so hard to kill? Ameya Gondhalekar digs into the genetic wonders of this troublingly tenacious creature. [Directed by Irida Zhonga, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Phil Brookes].

👁These animals are also plants ... wait, what?
🧠Luka Seamus Wright
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣The species of slug known as Elysia chlorotica may not look like much— it resembles a bright green leaf— but it's one of the most extraordinary creatures on our planet. Living in marshes along the coast of North America, it can go about a year without eating. During that time, it lives like a plant. How is this possible? Luka Seamus Wright digs into the incredible adaptations of these mixotrophs. [Directed by Denis Chapon, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁What is the rarest color in nature?
🧠Victoria Hwang
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Plants, animals, or minerals found in nature bear almost every color imaginable. There are two factors that influence what hues you see in the wild: physics and evolution. So, which colors are you least likely to see in the natural world? Victoria Hwang explores one of nature's rarest spectacles. [Directed by Tamara Bogovac, Artrake Studio, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Nikola Radivojevic].

👁The world's slimiest animal
🧠Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 2017, a truck screeched to a halt. One of its containers slid off, hit a car, and spilled its contents— thousands of kilograms of hagfish. The result of this accident was an absolute mess: the highway was coated in a thick slime that took the fire department 7 hours to clear. How did these creatures create this stupendous supply of slime? Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge investigate. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Jarrett Farkas].
