The scenes in Japan were filmed by me, Christopher Fryman, cinematographer....the director was Richard Wells, and the line producer was David Kennard. Glad to see this is on youtube.

I saw this on TV when I was 10. Left a major lasting impression, thank you Dr. Sagan.

My dad and Carl Sagan where the biggest influences in my life. My dad got me hooked on science and Sagan filled in a lot of blanks! The book Cosmos and this doc are the best overall coverage of scientific thinking to this day.

the crabs have a story too, about strange giants that imitate their shells, and keep suppressed the rival smooth-shelled strains

This is how to really educate people. Get them thinking and making their own minds up.

I have now shared this clip with a number of people, because it provides an excellent introduction to the bit of Japanese history which is relevant to the background of the new anime film, “Inu-Oh”, which played in select theaters last weekend. (The film is set several years after the battle of Dan-no-Ura, and the main characters are musicians and dancers who tell its story in their performances, set to some really BANGING music!). This clip was my first introduction to this history and its associated legends when I was in high school 40 years ago. The anime even shows the crabs once or twice!

The video was very nice. I learn many things about the artificial selection. Some of us are finding some more videos like this one that can educate some studemts and that can have some knowledge about many things. I hope that most of us can learn many beautiful and nice things about something specially in Science or in history. So many teen agers now a days use the social media to review or to learn some things. I hope many people can or could watch this video and have a knew knowledge.😘

Can you allow me to add Portuguese subtitles?

@machinaeftw It raises no such questions. If a crab elsewhere grows a carapace slightly like a face it is of no advantage, wouldn't be noticed, and the trait is bred out. Why are wolves not born that look like bulldogs?

he reminds me a lot of richard dawkins

What does a species do after they dominate? When does any of them "win" and have it made ? Can passivity ultimately win over aggression? Can any species truly control the irratic flow of nature's ways? I hope so.... why else would we bother working so hard to be so smart? Just to kill time?

Sagan had a very good grasp of many sciences, and he made sure that he only judged when he had the knowledge. This is a dramatized poem used to explain NS in layman's terms, to explain how creation myths can be born. Camil2221 is perfectly correct in calling this NS, and also correct in suspecting Sagan for using drugs, even if that drug allowed him to live a long and alert life. As carnivores spare brightly colored frogs, poisonous or not, so humans (of myth) spared some crabs.

anyone know what episode this was part of in Cosmos?

beginning of episode 2

I think it's a bit misleading to call Antoku the "leader" of the Heike (aka the Taira). What was actually going on there was that it was a thing for centuries in classical Japan for powerful clans (notably the Soga, Fujiwara, Tachibana, Taira, and Minamoto) to get themselves "behind the throne" by getting family members married into the imperial bloodline, where clan elders would then become grandparents of sitting emperors and exert influence over them to suit their own agendas. For example, the woman Carl Sagan refers to as "Lady Nii" (aka Taira no Tokiko) was Antoku's grandmother. So on paper, Antoku was the leader of all of Japan. But in practice, Taira clan leaders were the ones pulling the strings. This is part of the reason why the Genji (aka the Minamoto, as in the same clan that would go on to form the Kamakura Shogunate following Dan no Ura) went after them. That's a MASSIVE oversimplification (the fact that the Kanmu Heike and the Seiwa Genji were each only one family within their respective larger clans was also relevant, as were the actions of the emperor emeritus Go-Shirakawa and the ever-present Fujiwara clan), but if you're interested in the political machinations of this time period then it's vital to understand that these clans were more often than not *actually* the ones controlling things. Not really the point of this video of course, but as someone who's both a massive Japanese history nerd and a massive evolutionary biology nerd, I'd be remiss not to elaborate 👀

As you said, not the point of this video, but thank you for the additional information about these events and times in Japanese history. Fascinating! On one occasion a few years ago, I had a conversation with business acquaintance from Japan about this historical event, and was surprised how intense his interest in the Heike was. Obviously not a dry bit of history to some.

@Longover1986 The story wasn't true, but I don't see what that has to do with the educational benefit in using it as an example of Artificial Selection. Greek Mythological figures didn't exist, but are used to explain things to laymen often, and that is precisely the purpose Sagan had for Cosmos. Teaching the masses in such a way as to make the content easier to understand.

Never before seen ancient footage - where the mythic Carl Sagan filmed a Japanese conflict.

Its just a shame so manys will be Kesha and Lady Gaga, Nikki Minaj, all these less than apes that are even less advanced than an amoeba, either by birth or their own choice.

Do Umans eat Erbs?

its is like natural selection, hte difference is we are making the selections instead of nature.

Agree with the comment below. But still, you can still watch this video for its concept despite its inappropriate example.

i did my research on artificial selection and yes i was wrong. i am 100% right in my resoning. the only difference between artificial selection and natural selection is that the human came into play during the selection, thus it is the humans who is involved during the natural selection. and i dont get why you say that the peppered moth was an accident? how can it be an accident? i dont understand.

Sounds so obvious, yet so many still don't get it. Saddening really.

he doesn't answer the real question. The question was: how come these crabs have these features? He simply regurgitates the answer he assumes: "it is random. this must have been the case before the myth and after the myth." If I ask, 'how come this is random? In fact, how come there is even a crab, a living being with so much artistry and purposeful structures for its life?' His answer is: "Well, I assume it must random, unintended, accident." But why do you assume that? Just because you coin a name 'artificial or natural selection', and voila, is it a scientific answer? Either don't call it science or admit that what you mean by science isn't neutral and doesn't really care about empirical data. How come unconscious events yield such impressive order and design?? No logical or empirical data. Keep repeating it and it becomes a "fact."!

In case you're being serious (though I suspect you're just baiting to try and do some silly god argument with the first idiot that responds to you, in this case me), he answers the question that he laid out in the beginning: why did those particular crabs have those faces, and why do so many have that face. What you're missing is that at this point in his discussion it is assumed that you understand the basics of evolution and the random compounding tiny differences in each generation that can eventually lead to significant changes in a species. If that is not the case and you don't understand those concepts - as it seems to be for you - then you should revisit the more basic principles of evolution before watching this video. What he is describing here is merely natural/artificial selection, i.e. how certain characteristics of a species can be selected for in nature based on the things happening around them. This example shows how that face pattern was selected by way of humans choosing to throw them back so that they can breed more crabs with faces.
