When fishermen cast their nets, they often catch a lot more than the species they're after. Those unlucky creatures are called bycatch, and it's a huge problem in the industry. Fortunately, scientists have been working hard to solve it with high-tech nets and other innovations.

From your cell phone and computer to medical devices and spacecraft, all of the quartz that makes these things possible comes from to a tiny town in North Carolina called Spruce Pine.

Correction:
3:30 These figures should say that medium grade quartz contains 0.01% impurities, or 100 parts per million. We used a source that incorrectly calculated that conversion.

- In 1974, the chimpanzees at Gombe National Park in Tanzania began a series of violent attacks that stunned researchers, including Jane Goodall. Over the next four years, the Kasekela chimpanzees would decimate the Kahama group. The twist? These groups used to be one and the same. It's taken decades for researchers to understand why the chimp group split in two, let alone why they fought so brutally. And just as researchers have started to understand the complex dynamics that led to this war, another group split is beginning in Ngogo, Uganda. Thanks to Ian Gilby, Joseph T. Feldblum, Anne Pusey, Richard Wrangham, and Aaron Sandel for their help and participation in the making of this video.

You might have heard that a quarter of your skeleton is in your shoes, and that's true, as long as they're closed-toe. So why do we need that many foot bones? The answer is more complicated than you think, and to get to the bottom of it all, we need to talk tetrapods, hominins, and also define what a foot even is, anyway.
