What do you mean by "someone"? Its just the way you worded it ('got rid of them'), kinda implies intent, i.e. that someone or something wanted to kill them and then did just that, not just some natural disaster or a quirk of evolution. So I wanted to clarify that point. Perhaps your question has a personal side to it after all. I am not an environmentalist, but I do believe humans were responsible for much of the extinctions lately. Most notably the industrial revolution rapidly caused ecological changes, which caused many species to disappear.

Its just the way you worded it ('got rid of them'), kinda implies intent, i.e. that someone or something wanted to kill them and then did just that, not just some natural disaster or a quirk of evolution. So I wanted to clarify that point. Understood. Perhaps your question has a personal side to it after all. I am not an environmentalist, but I do believe humans were responsible for much of the extinctions lately. Most notably the industrial revolution rapidly caused ecological changes, which caused many species to disappear. Nowadays every time you read about some animal/plant that is about to disappear, the reasons are those you have mentioned. Humans want to survive, expand, not thinking about nature. And only after the damage is done we have such projects as restoration pupolations. There are alive translations how scientists work. The last one I was watching was about Siberian crane - no geat results. Now have no idea what hapenned with that project. Though at least one thing from the history is still present in history books (some historical events are not trustworthy anyway, so have no idea "truth/lies"): bison hunting. Used them for ecomony? Yes. But also used it to influenced native amercians who became trouble. Who cares if bisons vanish if military/economical/expansional goals are fulfilled? Such event can be described as "animals (almost) died out on purpose as there was that intent to get rid of them to get rid of others".

And then there are the rich, who hunt big game, because they can and don't care about the consequences. Deforestation is another problem. It's usually done for agricultural purposes or because the wood looks nice in our homes. I am not a fan of China, but I like this: China Shocked The World By Planting Billions of Trees... Our Turn! (by Anton Petrov).

China Shocked The World By Planting Billions of Trees... Our Turn! Funny - several sentences are dedicated to the topic "the source of information". Information comes only from official China government sources. Unofficial mentioning of this huge nature-friendly project does not exist. "NASA confirms" - satellite images prove something is definitely going on there. The Mongolian Plateau, also included into project, turned into desert, became the source of sand-dust storms, losing flora and fauna because of human activities - nothing new here. Interesting though: the damage is done, human activites are not going to stop, climate changed. Will greening efforts of already hugely damaged area help to do something? Return trees and bushes using advanced engineering? In part it is uncomfortable word combination. Huge nature-friendly project, but at the same time the scientists told that might not work at all or even make things worse. And again good intentions to fix nature with huge risks China knows about. People will see, maybe.

How Easy is It to Grow a Supermassive Black Hole? - Dr Becky. What is it that makes supermassive black holes grow so big? In this recent talk for the Royal Institution Dr Rebecca Smethurst wants to challenge some of the misconceptions that people have about black holes. As a researcher, Smethurst studies the role that supermassive black holes play in inhibiting different types of galaxies from forming stars.

Earth-Theia Planetary Collision Brought Organics Kickstarting Life - Anton Petrov. This is a 2019 video about one of the theories how life could have been started. One of the most disturbing questions explained in well-made presentation. It is always good to hear such words as "probably, unclear for now". Now all we have to do is "to catch" an asteroid somewhere nearby - one more piece to confirm this theory, though not 100 % in any case. Better not to catch it right into out face.

Ineresting resourse www.looduskalender.ee/n/en/node/4768 (this is a video of 2 months old eagle first flight). Cams can change - long ago there were different depending on whether "wildlife" returns to the same spot or no. On-line vdeos, if could not catch - vids are saved to watch, with pictures and explanations, videos how the youngsters are tracked down. Where else can see how proud huge birds make first steps falling down from the nest on the grond and survive (or not). Or watch the deer, usual bear guests, badgers were very rare guests. Or how herons, having way to many eggs and alive birds, ate them or killed right in the nest and after pushed out from the nest. Cruel probably, but seems logical. One thing - read about it all, another one - see it with your own eyes through cams (but whatever).

That is what I like about Anton's videos. He reports new developments, but he remains skeptical, until more facts are known and when research from others confirm those new developments. He always makes that clear. And that is why he links the research papers in the video description. He doesn't blindly follow what other news outlets write. I remember that one time he didn't investigate a topic enough when making a video. He was clearly shaken by that, he apologized publicly, and her removed the video. His viewers supported him and told him that it is only human to make a mistake.

Brady Haran is an Australian-British independent filmmaker and video journalist who produces educational videos and documentary films for his many YouTube channels. These channels cover all kinds of topics, usually backed up by scientist from the University of Nottingham. What I like about Brady is his remarkable talent to direct his videos naturally, which force the scientist to be more clear and down to earth. That way, many topics are explained, so that even I can understand them. One such channel is DeepSkyVideos, which he describes as: "Exploring deep space - one video at a time. Including videos about the famous Messier Catalogue and access to world-class telescopes." Professor Mike Merrifield is an astronomer, who describes himself as: "I study the structure of nearby galaxies, to try and reconstruct how they formed. This archaeological approach complements the research of other astronomers here in Nottingham who look at very distant galaxies, whose light has taken so long to reach us that we see them as they were in the distant past. The archaeological approach has two main benefits: first, we know what the "final product" galaxy looks like, and second the closeness of these systems means that we can obtain very high quality data to search for subtle clues to their formation. One particularly useful clue comes from looking at the dynamics of these systems, since the motions of their stars provide literally a whole extra dimension of information. In pursuit of this information, I have been closely involved in the development of the unique Planetary Nebula Spectrograph, which allows us to study the motions of stars in the outermost parts of galaxies, tracing both the dynamics in regions where the history of the galaxy is likely to be imprinted and probing the dark matter halo, whose mass dictates the orbits that stars follow."

Another of Brady Haran's YouTube channels is the popular Numberphile, which he describes as: "Videos about numbers - it's that simple." The videos range from fun videos about numbers to simple explanations of mathematical topics. The mathematicians involved like to do these videos to give back their knowledge to the community and to grow interest in their field of expertise. This one is about the mathematical genius of JS Bach. I read that Bach used math in his music, but I didn't know how. This video shows what tricks Bach used in simple way. Music on a Clear Möbius Strip. The University of Oxford describes the mathematician in this video as: "Professor Marcus du Sautoy is widely known for his work to popularise mathematics. He appears regularly in the media and has written numerous academic articles and popular books on mathematics. He gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 2006. His research interests include understanding the world of symmetry using zeta functions, a classical tool from number theory. His work uses a wide range of methods including p-adic Lie groups, model theory, algebraic geometry and analytic methods."

Brady Haran's Numberphile videos about numbers and mathematics often are intended to be fun to watch. One of the popular mathematicians on the show is Matt Parker, who is also a standup comedian. The following three videos contain a running gag about a "mistake" Matt made, that is going on for years now. Nerds like me, still find these videos funny, even watching them again. The Parker Square. Finite Fields & Return of The Parker Square. Become a MILLIONAIRE by winning The Parker Prize. Matthew Thomas Parker (born 22 December 1980) is an Australian recreational mathematician, author, comedian, YouTube personality and science communicator. His book Humble Pi was the first maths book in the UK to be a Sunday Times #1 bestseller. Parker was the Public Engagement in Mathematics Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. He is a former maths teacher and has helped popularise maths via his tours and videos.

Brady Haran's describes his YouTube channel Sixty Symbols as: "Cool videos about physics and astronomy." The channel covers more topics than the DeepSkyVideos channel, but you'll see many of the familiar faces from that channel. In this video Meghan Gray from the University of Nottingham and Brady are discussing how we understand and study the architecture of the Universe. Untangling the Cosmic Web. Dr Meghan Gray describes herself as: "I am an observational extragalactic astronomer with interests in galaxy evolution and large-scale structure. I employ tools such as gravitational lensing to trace distributions of dark matter on large scales, and I use multiwavelength observations to examine the luminous properties of galaxies. With the goal of linking galaxy properties with detailed knowledge of their environments, I am leading the STAGES survey: a 0.5x0.5 degree HST/ACS survey of the A901/902 supercluster to study galaxy evolution in dense environments. We are measuring the morphologies, star-formation activity, and AGN content of over 1200 galaxies in a massive structure at z=0.17 while simultaneously measuring the distributions of dark matter, hot gas, and galaxies in which those galaxies are embedded. Current Teaching: Image processing."

Mind Your Language: Thought, Metaphor and Imagination - Brian Greene. Steven Pinker "Language is pretty useful" while talking about other ways of communication. Turns out it just became useful when science adnvanced. No other way to describe and explain all those terms. Without such advanced science we could live just fine using other ways of communication which are in real life even more useful to understand a person even if we use language to communicate. People underestimate other ways of communication, all other signs, expressions, gestures to understand people. Not for science terms, but simple talk. Good or bad metaphor? Majotiry rules. Majority of people considers some metaphor is bad as it touches "wrong feelings and emotions" while another metaphor is just great reaching "right" emotions and morals, thus that author is very good at writing. So the rest part of the society has a bad taste because they have another understanding of the situations, has another perception of a dead child or anything else.

The part, which I did not agree with in the video, was that Noam Chomsky said that thinking involves speech without sound. It is true that it often happens, but some feelings, like discomfort, can spin through my mind, but not as a word. Not all things can be expressed by language.
