thebrainscoop | Camel Spiders: Neither Camels, nor Spiders @thebrainscoop | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago

We've set out from The Field Museum in Chicago to collaborate with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Check out our first video on the Human Biology Collection: youtu.be/shKWGMdvmJQ
And our video with anthropologist Dr. Steve Nash, about their collection of Native American Peace Medals: youtu.be/3-AGSdwVQRQ
