What makes the 83 incident even more remarkable was the officer was filling in that shift for a sick comrade who most certainly would have called for launch. That’s three times in 75 years of nuclear weaponry that it’s come down to one person not pulling the trigger.

Don't forget before that; he was first being pressured to agree on launching while their submarine was literally raging to 90°C. but man still refused. really shows a lot about his character and morality. but it baffles me how until now he still haven't got any monument in Russia or US, whereas that recent infamous colored criminal got one instead the person who literally saved bunch of generations from possible wiped out.

Actually, I heard that the genetic evidence for the bottleneck showed that the human population went down to NINE. So it may have been closer than you think. That's small enough that there was a fair amount of inbreeding. Same with cheetahs, they also had a severe bottleneck and their genetics show a lot of inbreeding in their past.

The Toba eruption makes me wonder what would happen if (a) the Gulf Stream collapses due to melting ice from Greenland and (b) Yellowstone erupts... both around the same time. How big a temperature drop can nature achieve?
I know the “8 legged creatures attacking after dark” is a joke but it just makes me sad that this is how all the ancient aliens conspiracies get started.
The one that I liked the most was the first one. It’s the event I think about the most cuz that would’ve really been it. And from those couple of thousand came out about 8 billion today. Humanity is much more closely linked that we believe
Yep, humanity is actually among the more homogeneous species around. You can find more genetic diversity between populations of chimps living within 100 miles of one another than across the entire human population of 8 billion individuals. Yet another reason racism is utterly senseless. It’s kinda neat to think about all the legendary figures in human history and realize that, at least biologically, they were almost exactly like you.
Actually several potential humanity ending nuclear incidents have occurred starting with the Cuban Crisis. Doesn’t count still classified incidents and countries outside of Russia and the United States.
Infographic show! Please make a video about history of Tibet. It’s has a such a sad history, and I think it’s important to bring awareness about this topic. Basically, Tibet was always an isolated nation, which had its own Buddhist culture and traditions. However, after the civil war in China, Communists took over and invaded Tibet. They suppressed Tibet's traditions, they brutally murdered Tibetan people and put them into concentration camps just because the people were living in their own land. (I made a very quick summary, there is actually way more to tell). I think this event is very important to raise awareness about, as it’s not the only culture that is suffering from such colonization and oppression. For example, the Uighur people in China, and their ancient tradition are fading away; China, to this day sends Uighur people to concentration camps, like what nazis did to Jews. However, China is not to be blamed, this is a straight result of colonialism, communism and dictatorship.
There's a fact here we all got to think about, ever since that 1995 Norwegian missile incident there have been no near world wide extinction events since, the Ukraine war doesn't necessarily count either because Ukraine isn't in NATO, but the fact that such a situation hasn't come around in so long only means it's going to happen soon, somehow in a way we'll either 100% know about or with 0 warning.
Years ago there were multiple kinds of humans and we got into a war with each other and after the nuclear war only 2 humans survived " Adam and Eve " we were multiplanetory which explains the ruins in mars and the moon, all the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Mayans tells us the story of not aliens but ancient humans fighting each other.

Immunity to black death is actually quite common in Europe, save for Poland - which coincidentally had escaped the disease almost entirely due to mandatory quarantine before entering Poland imposed by guards on major roads. Since the rest of the country at the time was covered by wild forests that were hardly traversable by horse, and would take a long time to cross by foot, the disease rarely reached any town.
