Throughout the Pleistocene Epoch, the range of the woolly rhino grew and shrank in sync with global climate. So what caused the climate -- and the range of the woolly rhino -- to cycle back and forth between such extremes?

(Like in this video, you seem to be firmly on the side of climate change being the killer of Woolly Rhinos, despite a lot of evidence suggesting human predation was occuring).

    @@blacklikeme88Depends on which part of your body you want to produce (and the underlying complexity). Currently, there are some clinical trials in which we transplant tissues which arise from stem cells (which on the other hand are often made from skin cells but I will talk about this in my next video). I am personally really looking forward to reading the results of a study which tries to cure type 1 diabetes through the transplantation of insulin-producing beta cells. There are many reasons why we are currently more focusing on producing tissues rather than whole organs. One very important factor here is safety. It is very difficult to control the development of stem cells to create whole organs (we need to understand developmental processes way better). If we try to transplant something as complex as an organ we could not guarantee that cells in this organ might not become harmful for the recipient (and provoke teratoma which are tumour-like cell aggregations). I cannot precisely tell you how long it will take until we have overcome all these challenges but we are making remarkable progress (about 15 years ago we were not even able to make stem cells from skin cells)!

Aurochs where hunted away and replaced with sheep, swine or domesticated cattle "bos taurus". The last auroch died in the 1700. Jaks are also a domesticated species of cattle but their wild ancestor still exist.

    Only your not. They’re using the flimsiest evidence to promote a contrived narrative. The earths axis was not “wobbling” during the ice age. At least not any more so than before or after the ice age. Gyroscopic dynamics doesn’t work that way. They try and explain it by saying the earth was hit by something large. Really? Wouldn’t that have cause a mass extinction event like it did with the dinosaurs? There is so much wrong with what they saying in video that it mustn’t be taken seriously.

    @@yomomz3921 Imperial is unnecesarily complicated. Metric is better because it has a uniform change of ten units and generalized prefixes that are added to any unit you want making the change (so moving through the system is extremely easy and intuitive). Plus, no one uses imperial anymore with the exception of the USA (because there is no reason to do so when metric is much simpler and easier to use). It is true that some countries use Farenheit but in that regard, Celsius and Farenheit are both bad units with the clearly better option being Kelvin. But since no one talks in Kelvin, going the more international option with Celsius makes sense (as Farenheit is only used in some english-speaking countries and nowhere else). Oddly enough, you could have a metric progresion with one of the imperial units, like centifoot, kilofoot and stuff like that. But I'm not sure how many people will understand you.

    The explanation of how the Earth's rotational axis moves is a bit simplified. It takes the Earth's axis 29,000 years to rotate in relation to the fixed stars. So where does the 23,000 years figure come from? Well, there is a second precession going on at the same time, the so called apsidal precession, during which the orientation of Earth's orbit slowly shifts. Basically, every year the perihelion (the point in Earth's orbit furthest away from the Sun) moves forward a couple of arcseconds every year, forming a cycle that repeats itself every 112,000 years. Due to these two phenome combining with each other, the rotational axis of Earth rotates once every 20,900 - 29,000 years, with an average of 23,000 years.

    Thank you, Mr. Spock! No, actually I really appreciate the correction. Thanks a lot. I was wondering if our planet's orbit had a precession of its own. Good job! Now, how does that relate to the varying eccentricity of the orbit? Would it have any effect on the amount of insolation either hemisphere receives? Or is it just "in the background"?

Regions experienced their LGM before and after the time mentioned, Putman, (2013) lists the LGM as 26.5 ka to 19 ka. Other recent studies have also suggested the use of Last Glacial Cold Period (LGCP) for this time period. P.s.
