Haudenosaunee: People of the Longhouse American Museum of Natural History 2024-10-14 | “This is a profile of the Haudenosaunee, by the Haudenosaunee, speaking from the present,” says filmmaker Caleb G. Abrams (Seneca, Wolf Clan) about this film, which he produced in collaboration with the Museum in 2024.Abrams and his team spoke with citizens of the Haudenosaunee (ho-dee-no-SHOW-nee) Confederacy’s six nations—the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora—whose homelands include much of present-day New York State.This film explores vital parts of Haudenosaunee life today: the continuation of traditional government structures, the revitalization of languages after decades of repressive policies by the United States and Canada, the role of lacrosse as an expression of sovereignty on the world stage, and the sowing of seeds of knowledge and hope for future generations.Haudenosaunee: People of the Longhouse is supported by the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation.#Haudenosaunee #Lacrosse #nativeamerican Credits:Writer, Director, ProducerCaleb Abrams (Seneca, Wolf Clan)Executive ProducerEugenia LevensonDirector of PhotographyTucker KohnenEditorLisa Rifkind Associate ProducersNathan Abrams (Seneca, Wolf Clan)Katsi’tsonni Fox (Mohawk, Bear Clan)Ruchatneet Printup (Tuscarora, Turtle Clan)Karen TaberStory ConsultantMarissa Corwin Manitowabi (Seneca, Deer Clan)Drone PilotJaiden Mitchell (Mohawk, Bear Clan)Audio RecordistsJohn V.

T. rex, Triceratops, Titanosaur–Whats the Difference? American Museum of Natural History 2024-10-04 | What are the different types of dinosaurs found in the dinosaur family tree? What makes these ancient reptiles different from the lizards and snakes we see today? And what features do they share with the living dinosaurs—birds?#paleontology #dinosaur #evolution Sure, a Stegosaurus looks different from a T.rex, but how does a paleontologist figure out how to classify them? In this video, Macauley Curator Roger Benson from the Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History introduces the three major groups of dinosaurs—the ornithischians, the sauropodomorphs, and the theropods—and the differences between a dinosaur and a modern lizard. He also names a few ancient animals that aren’t dinosaurs at all–some of them may surprise you!

Repatriating Simon’s Outfit to the Tohono O’odham Nation American Museum of Natural History 2024-09-21 | Tohono O’odham Cultural Affairs Specialist Samuel Fayuant describes the process of repatriating more than 120 cultural items to the Tohono O’odham Nation in southern Arizona from the American Museum of Natural History’s ethnographic collection. In 1911, explorer Carl Lumholtz sold hundreds of items he collected from the Tohono O’odham people to the American Museum of Natural History. In 2021, the Museum welcomed five Tohono O’odham Nation representatives to complete the repatriation of more than 120 of those items—including one particularly storied ceremonial outfit belonging to a man called Simon—from the Division of Anthropology’s ethnographic collection. Cultural Affairs Specialist Samuel Fayuant describes the process, which began with consultations in 2019, and shares information about the sacred Vikita ceremony where Simon’s outfit would have been worn and what it means to his community for these items to return home. #NAGPRA #Repatriation #TohonoOodham #Anthropology***Subscribe to our channel:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrgCheck out our full video catalog:http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

How Genetic Changes Help and Hurt Us: The Human Variety Show American Museum of Natural History 2024-08-09 | Ever wonder why some people are lactose intolerant and others aren’t? Or why some people have naturally thicker hair than others? Some traits, like walking upright and using tools, define us as humans and have become fixed in our DNA over millions of years. Other traits that aren’t shared by everyone are more recent results of genetic adaptations to the very different environments humans lived in. But it turns out that genetic variations that once helped us are now causing trouble for human health.#Genetics #HumanEvolution #Migration #Variation #HumanHealth #DNA #Mutation***Subscribe to our channel:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrgCheck out our full video catalog:http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, and a panel of leading scientists and experts for a spirited conversation around the profound impact NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is having on our understanding of the universe since it began transmitting images and astronomical data in 2022. #JWST #EarlyUniverse #BigBang #Astrophysics This year’s panelists include Mike Boylan-Kolchin of University of Texas at Austin, Wendy Freedman of the University of Chicago, Priya Natarajan of Yale University, Rachel Somerville of the Flatiron Institute, and John Wise of Georgia Institute of Technology. Delving into the cosmic mysteries unraveled by the JWST, the discussion will explore the telescope’s recent revelations, including bright and enigmatic galaxies that emerge in the extremely early universe–challenging conventional cosmological understandings of how galaxies formed. The late Dr. Isaac Asimov, one of the most prolific and influential authors of our time, was a dear friend and supporter of the American Museum of Natural History. In his memory, the Hayden Planetarium is honored to host the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate—generously endowed by relatives, friends, and admirers of Isaac Asimov and his work—bringing the finest minds in the world to the Museum each year to debate pressing questions on the frontier of scientific discovery.

Paleontologists dig for Jurassic dinosaur fossils American Museum of Natural History 2023-11-18 | The Morrison Formation is one of the most famous dinosaur fossil sites in North America. Since the 1890s, it has been the site of discoveries such as Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Allosaurus. But there’s more to be uncovered. In 19th century, expeditions to the Morrison Foundation focused on the fossil remains of large animals, but today scientists are searching for fossils of species that were previously overlooked, especially in the relatively understudied northern portion. A team led by Museum paleontologist Mark Norell has returned year after year to uncover layers of the Jurassic. The results, both in the scale and quality of fossil discoveries, are exciting.***Subscribe to our channel:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrgCheck out our full video catalog:http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

What is a Tree of Life? American Museum of Natural History 2023-08-11 | A phylogenetic tree, also known as a cladogram, is a diagram that proposes how different types of living things are related. If you follow the lines connecting any two groups on a tree, you'll get an idea of how closely related they are. Tree of Life diagrams are phylogenetic trees that propose what are the evolutionary relationships for all species of life. Different software programs allow scientists to build Trees of Life in different arrangements so they can better understand how species are related. ******Subscribe to our channel:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrgCheck out our full video catalog:http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

The Future of Energy | 2023 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate American Museum of Natural History 2023-04-01 | What will fuel the future of civilization? Major advances in energy production, and the urgency of the climate change crisis, are re-shaping the conversation about what we use to power our world: fossil fuels, wind turbines, hydroelectric, solar panels, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. With the recent breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) National Ignition Facility, nuclear fusion has emerged as a leading candidate. Many see the ability to harness nuclear energy as a clear positive for reducing our impact on global climate, while some are skeptical of its practicality and safety for everyday use. #Energy #ClimateChange #NeildeGrasseTyson #AsimovDebate #ScienceDebate #TechnologyHow will science, engineering, and geopolitics shape how the future of energy unfolds?Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P.

Searching for Bat Fossils in Colombia American Museum of Natural History 2022-09-30 | Big animals like dinosaurs make big fossils–but how do scientists find fossils of small animals like bats and rodents? Join a Museum bat biologist on an expedition to Colombia as the team looks for fossils the size of a grain of rice. #Fossils #Paleontology #Colombia #Desert In June 2022, Museum Curator Nancy Simmons and colleagues traveled to the La Venta region of Colombia–a site world-famous for revealing a detailed paleontological history of New World primates and bats. Since these fossils are tiny, the researchers have to use different methods than paleontologists who look for big animals like mammoths or dinosaurs. The fossils may be small, but what they reveal could be key to understanding how bats evolved such incredible diversity in the present day. Watch to learn more! The Constantine S.

Cave Bear Facts! American Museum of Natural History 2022-09-20 | This fearsome fossil is Ursus spelaeus, a cave bear that lived 14,000 years ago. Cave bears, although related to the largest living bears the Arctic, lived only in Europe. Cave finds in the Alps are evidence that the bears’ habitat extended up to altitudes of 6,300 feet. Most of the tens of thousands of remains found are of young and old animals that died during hibernation. Skull accumulations and depictions in cave paintings show that the bears were important to Ice Age humans.#CaveBear #bears #paleontology #museumThis fossil is located in the Hall of Advanced Mammals.Ⓒ American Museum of Natural History
