It kind of merges their eyes, but you can feel the border when you feel your cheeks here. And that hole anchors jaw muscles. That's a mammal thing. And there are so many other features that make mammals mammals that we have that other mammals have. In the world today, there are three major types of mammals. We are placental mammals. And about 95% of all mammals are placental mammals like us. Placentals are the ones that can give live birth to well-developed babies that can develop for a long time in their mother's boobs. So dogs and cats and bats and wells and elephants,
But these are the mammals that give birth to tiny little babies that are born very premature, that then develop more further in their mother's pouch. So these are the three major types of mammals. Placental mammals are the dominant ones today. But we see the roots of these three major groups back in the Cretaceous period. Now what we see in the fossil record is that those features didn't just evolve in one burst. They evolved one by one over time in many ancestors.
all these new food sources, insects and flowers and fruits and so on were there to be enjoyed. Mammals had to survive and endure and persist for a long time in a dinosaur-dominated world. I mean, a single footstep of a brontosaurus could probably obliterate a whole colony of mammals. So mammals had to learn how to live incognito, but it also set them up to take advantage of one of the
so huge. So the asteroid wipes away T-rex and triceratops. The classic dinosaurs are gone. Some mammals have survived. These mammals have never gotten bigger than cat size for 150 million years. Now their dinosaur overlords are gone. Those jobs at the top of the food chain, the top meat eaters, the top plant eaters, they're suddenly available. So what do mammals do? They get big and they get
scores a touchdown. The odds of success are very low because the pass is so long, but every once in a while, that pass connects. And your team wins the game. We see this with migrations. There are mammals in South America today, both primates and rodents. So the classic monkeys, the howler monkeys of South America, and some of the classic rodents of South America guinea pigs, capybara. They've been there for a long time. How did they get there? Nobody really knew South America was an island continent for many tens of millions of years. How did these mammals make their way? They
the gains not only are maintained but the patient continues to improve. In other words, if you'll excuse the bad Mammals can't look after themselves when they're little. They have to attach to a caregiver. And if they become separated

So it controls your breathing, heartbeat, digestion. Mammal brain, also called the limbic system, wants you to stay safe. In order to do that, it creates habits where you can actually predict the outcome.
So as you can see, often, human brain and mammal brain can have somewhat different agenda to your life. Mammal brain absolutely hates change and wants you to keep stuck in the same old patterns, as that's safe and familiar. Human brain wants you to grow and develop.

What about Mama Ru, RuPaul? Mama Ru-- well, I guess you said "mama," so I can't say mother, But-- Call her mother.
Wildlife has collapsed. When I was your age or in college, populations of wildlife have plummeted. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates-- leave out all insects, because they're in a more severe category.
Though we could potentially be the parents of a 23-year-old, we feel too young for parenthood. "Mama" and "dada"? How can these words apply to us? We still have trouble with "ma'am" and "sir." No, we have to remind ourselves.
Hey. Mama will provide. Hey, yeah. Mama will provide. I'm gonna provide.
Mama will provide. Hey, yeah. Mama will provide. I'm gonna provide. Walk with me, little girl, and I'll take you far.
And I don't even know if you, Lynn and Stephen, if you know what you were starting when you wrote it. "Mama Will Provide"? None of you had ever seen her do it, right?
Group six was 60 sixth graders, none of whom had any athletic talent whatsoever. Mamas had taken them to academy to get swooshes, and they were protecting the house. And they were doing it and could not back pedal the length of this stage, and they had a coach who couldn't coach.

Mamie Rheingold: You may know Howard Rheingold as a colorful and prescient anthropologist who defined concepts like virtual communities and smart mobs before we were all participating
Mamie: Okay, so over the last 20 years you've written 'Tools for Thought', 'Virtual Communities Virtual Realities', 'Smart Mobs' why 'Net Smart'?
Mamie: So I know when you wrote Tools for Thought, you were inspired by Doug Engelbart's 1962 Augmenting Human Intellect.
Mamie: Great so you mentioned that literacy.
Mamie: And so why is attention the fundamental literacy for and always on the world?
Mamie: Hmm And now, so in 2010 Eric Schmidt had this crazy statistic that every two days humans produce as much information as they did between
Mamie: And you've coined terms like virtual communities and smart mobs.
