5 Mysteries Science Created and Solved

The video explores five scientific mysteries and their resolutions. It begins with the European bison's origins, solved through DNA analysis and cave paintings. Next, it debunks the myth of Clarksdorp spheres as alien artifacts, explaining them as natural concretions. The video then reveals how Antarctic microbes survive on atmospheric gases. It also uncovers the aquatic nature of the long-necked reptile Tanistrophius. Finally, it addresses the Explorers Club's hoax of serving ancient meat, revealing it as a prank involving turtle meat.
