Our image of dinosaurs has been constantly changing since naturalists started studying them about 350 years ago. Taken together, these pictures can tell us a whole lot about just how much we have learned. Let's explore the history of dinosaur science as seen through the history of dinosaur art.
Special thanks to these paleoartists for allowing us to use their work in this video:

I'm 31 years old. This video made me feel something I haven't felt since I was 8.
Phil Forbes why I love natural history and space, you get that feeling... of just like pure joy and wonder like you’re a dreaming kid again
idk why this made me cry, also the comment.
"dreaming like a kid again"
Phil Forbes I was fascinated with Dino’s in the early eighties
Your Scrotum Humanum?
Phil Forbes Same here man, the nostalgia is real
ME, at 1:38 : huh, fossilized testicles... neat...
SCIENTIST, in 1763 : huh, fossilized testicles... neat...
Times may change, but humans don't xD xD
also testicles cannot fossilize because they are soft tissue
you must be fun at parties
@@Xenotaris WHOOSH!
Whew. Not just me then. The narrators reaction gave me a good laugh though.
I also almost spit my drink out when they first showed the illustration.
A historian, a paleontologist, and an artist walk into a bar... pretty cool stuff happens
How did I not know about this channel? TH-cam needs to step up their "recommended" game.
Dynamitella I'd rather be recommend this, but TH-cam loves shoving talentless hacks who love acting like A-holes in my face all the time.
Dynamitella ikr
They need to stop recommending me prank channels and just idiots
Agreed they premote. Mind less content instead. Except some let's players
Lots of people arent aware of it unfortunately...
Hello to the PBS Eons team, many people around the world are aware/educated on the famous American mega fauna such as the saber tooth cat and mammoths etc., but I have noticed that not many people are aware of the Australian mega fauna such as short faced kangaroos, giant wombats (Diprotodon) and of course the marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex). I would love to see an episode on Australian mega fauna that might help spark interest into viewers and lead them on a path of interest just like I have been.
*+*
I second this! Australias prehistoric fauna is incredible and has a lot of evolutionary history.
I love megafaunal birds- Genyornis newtoni is one of my favourite birds ever.
πnk crow
The megafauna birds would be a good one too! Especially the ones closely related to emus and ostriches like the moa.

I grew up drawing dinosaurs and dragons constantly. They've gone from scaled beasts with terrifying power, to feathered beauties with grace while they kill prey. It's amazing how through more knowledge, our views of things change.
abing bengki Nice! Keep it up. Whenever I get art block, I draw fantasy creatures, dinosaurs, and TV show characters. It's also just really fun to draw.
Indoraptor Unstopable go for it! I bet your drawings look really cool! What’s your favourite dinosaur ?
And today Trex are scaled beasts again with Graceful peach fuzz like feathers.
I drew dragons a lot when I was 12-15 years old. I learned from early childhood how to draw mainly horses.
Thus, my dragons had horse ears... for some reason.
@@Aethuviel yes, my favorite dinosaur: the horse dragon
This video inspired me to go into Paleontology after 4 years of post high school depression bc I had no idea what I wanted to do, now this is my favorite channel and i'm restarting college in the fall. I rewatch this video every few months when it pops back up and it keeps me inspired, Thanks guys
How's it going? Also, are you studying geology? Because I don't think they teach paleontology at an undergrad level.
@@muhammadeisa1459 I'm studying marine biology for my undergrad degree, and i'm doing an internship through the field museum so I think it's going pretty well :)
@@MiguelXTulio I'm having a really hard time choosing what I want to go into when I graduate. I have some time but I'd love to know what it's like!
Using my drawing and painting skills I learned from drawing tutorials as well as Drawing and Painting class at my high school, I really need to make my own paleoart painting and drawings including ones based on the ones of non-avian dinosaurs (Theropods, sauropods and ornithischians), pterosaurs, marine reptiles (plesiosaurs, mosasaurs and ichthyosaurs), prehistoric mammals, ammonites and sharks and other prehistoric animals from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras from Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World, Mesozoic Art: Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals in Art, The World of Dinosaurs: An Illustrated Tour and the Princeton Field Guides to Pterosaurs and Marine Reptiles and Dinosaur Facts and Figures: The Theropods and other Dinosauriformes and Sauropods and other Sauropodmorphs as well as real original paleoart paintings and drawings based on Tarbosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus, Nemegtosaurus, Mongolian titanosaurs, Velociraptor, Protoceratops, Citipati, Monokyus, Nemegtabaatar and Gobi Azhdarchids from Mongolia in the Late Cretaceous and Tyrannosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Albertosaurus, Ornithomimus, Struthiomimus, Dakotaraptor, Dromaeosaurus, Alasmosaurus, Triceratops, Torosaurus, Styracosaurus, Centrosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Corythosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Ankylosaurus, Pteranodon, Nyctosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Cimolestes and Didelphodon from Montana in the Late Cretaceous don’t you agree?
"They went extinct, so they must be slow and decadent." They didn't know dinosaurs lived for a period three times longer than the time between them and us.
They were not strong enough
They couldn't launch a rocket in that that time? wasted.
@SHAHZEB MIR chimps have opposable thumb

Megalosaurus...
The piece of femur looked like nuts...
MEGALOSCROTUS

There's no better way to make a Monday better than to see a 12 minute long Eons episode.
How about having something very pleasant happen to your lower half?
Lmfao I'm watching this on a Monday too.
Or a tuesday, or a thursday basically anytime. ;)
P
Or another Qday
Literally watching this rn on Monday 😂
Dang it Hank, I will NEVER watch an explanatory video of yours and not experience a minor jolt when it doesn't end with "John, I'll see you on Friday"
Lol
Wait so that is hank green?? I was about to comment that he reminds me of him lmao thank goodness I found this thatve been embarrassing 🤣🤣
@@RoxxyFly LOL
@@RoxxyFly It's his clothing. He's swimming in it.
@@Smorgasbord. oh yeah for sure! Lmao
"The art of dinosaurs is always a reflection of the time it's made in "
A cranky man called Edward Drinker Cope, do you think he drank to cope?
Ben Dawson Quite literally I assume.
yes. you win.
Cope's life story can be summarized as a spiteful revenge mission against this guy who told him his fossil was backwards once. He discovered around 80 new species, including possibly the biggest thing to ever walk (hotly debated, mostly disregarded) all as revenge. He still didn't discover as many species nor were his discoveries as famous as that guy who told him he put his Elasmosaurus together wrong.
@@TeamClusterTruck thanks for the insight
Lmao
Loved this episode
Clickbait, though. This is the history of dinosaur research, not dinosaurs themselves.
+
Bill CZY - il·lus·trate - explain or make (something) clear by using examples, charts, pictures, etc. Enlighten me with a source that explains, please.
6:35 can we all just agree that Edward Drinker Cope is probably the best scientist name ever?
I know the credits say that Hank didn't write the script, but especially in the last third Hank shows how great of a story teller he's becomming. It's such a joy listening to him.
A small but funny detail. The dagger-like thumb of our old friend the Iguanodon was initially mounted on it's nose as a rhino horn. This is shown here in the early reconstructions. The discovery of extinct life could deserve a video in itself. The "dog tounges" that were recognised by scientist Niels Steensen as being shark teeth, fossilised and rather large from time to time. And Cuvier failing to identify some fossil bone sent to him - and admitting his failure (perhaps it was the Iguanodon? he really knew something about animal teeth).
Btw. I once made a model of an Anatosaurus in papier mache, an old dream from boyhood come true. 1,3 meters high it still takes a lot of space in my house. Other animals also take their place. I hope to make more some day.
Yeah, this one the video didn't touch on: Early researchers thought prehistoric life was just prehistoric versions of modern life, so naturally the iguanodon was seen as a prehistoric rhino. Some went so far as to claim rhinos evolved from iguanas because nobody quite knew how evolution worked yet and the idea of evolutionary "levels" got thrown around where everything becomes a mammal if it just evolves long enough.
Apparently, this was still taught in the Soviet Union, I vividly remember a pupil from there claiming dolphins evolved from ichthyosaurs as a fact everybody knows. Then again, the USSR did have a strange relationship to science.
That's really cool! Do you have images of the model?
@@wolfkitty42 Yes, but I seem not to be able to name the url. Try to google it.
Mixing dinosaurs and art history, you've stolen my heart Eons
The last sentence in the video sums up what we all have in common, imagination.
Imagination is why most of us are here, when i think about a dinosaur, i see feathers, leathery skin and scales, heck i even see dinosaurs with polka dots because a teacher once said "they could have polks dots." Dinosaurs are a part of our mythology that we can see, study and find in the dirt below us, the very dirt everything we know and love came from.
Many creatures are spotted, but none of the spots are regular enough to qualify as polka dots. Similarly, we speak of many animals as dancing, but none of them can actually polka (except a very small minority of Homo sapiens.)
I remember seeing the illustration of the two dryptosaurus in a book when I was a child, and being totally fascinated with it.
This was one of the most interesting short video I've seen this year, thank you to everyone involved in its creation.
Do your femur fossils hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Flintstoned Yeah, sometimes they do. Say, Fred, do you want a Winston's cigarette?
baranguirus Na, it's 2017. It's all about vaping now.
Flintstoned But dude,
"Winston's taste good
like a cigarette should!"
PS: excerpt from Flinstones Winston's cigarettes commercials
Can you tie em in knot, can you tie em in a bow.
Can you tie them in a bow? Do they like to get a blow?
I love that this is as much about scientific illustration as it is about the subjects. We need more episodes like these.
"Evolutionary failure" lol, humans will be lucky to be around even half the time of a dinosaur like the T-Rex.
We already have. Humans are two million years old. Tyrannosaurus was around for two million years.
No you're confused. Homo Sapiens are 200 000 to 300 000 years old. So We are 10 times younger than the species of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
@@IlanTarabula Homo erectus is said to have existed 2 million years ago. Anatomically human foot prints have been dated to 1.5 million years ago. How do you define "human"?
I define Human by Homo Sapiens. Homo Erectus, Habilis, etc are not genetically "Human". Humans appeared around 250 000 years ago. Before, they weren't really mankind.
@@IlanTarabula so Neanderthals aren't human?
I am in love with dinosaurs since I am a little kid, the difference was that I didn't love them because they were big and scary, but because they were beautiful.
Ovi Cephalus exactly dinosaurs are amazing creatures too bad some people think there just scaly monsters is a shame really I feel bad for them
They're just facinating. That something so huge and unlike anything have walked on this earth is sureal
So deep
When I was a kid I thought they were cool even when kids my age at the time thought they were for much younger kids.
Oh yeah. Definitely. Somewhere around here I still have a dinosaur colouring book my mom gave me for Christmas when I was like, 6? I loved the big weird ancient creatures we could never see in person ever since I can remember. (The colouring book itself has all SCALY dinos, of course, but...)
2:18 Admit it, we were all thinking it. Every last one of us.
yes lmao
Ok here's an off-the-wall wanna-know: The digestive system appears in every higher life-form on this planet. The one in the human being is fascinating and extremely complex. What do we know about its evolution?
A year late, but here's just what I know from some classes (probably not factoring in new research), maybe you know this already:
Humans are part of, and evolved from, the great apes (hominidae). Great apes, like gorillas, are hindgut fermenters, meaning that they carry out fermentation by bacteria in the intestines to digest cellulose in plants. To do this (and to extract enough nutrients from plant matter to survive because plants are relatively nutritient-poor), they have longer colons. This means more guts, and a bigger belly to hold it all.
Humans don't have bigger guts anymore, and it's likely due to 3 reasons: 1. Early "humans" started hunting and scavenging for meat, which takes less effort to extract nutrients from and is more nutrient-dense (see also expensive tissue hypothesis for the hypothesized relation to brain evolution). 2. Early "humans" started cooking with fire, and cooking can jumpstart digestion, meaning food spend less time in digestive tract. 3. Early "humans" started to walk upright, so a bigger belly is probably impractical for moving around on two legs. All of these led to the guts shrinking in humans. However, the stomach is still needed as its (very) generalized function in meat-eating animals is to process meats ("acid bath", like a much less extreme version of "destroying bodies with acid").
The summary, in one sentence: human guts became the way they are because of cooking and possible dietary changes.
And one last note: these are the simplified explanations born of the current scientific understanding of how humans evolved. It probably will be modified in the future when there's new findings.
@@xFirebird925x It's not the acid in your stomach that directly does the "destroying" like most people wrongly believe. It's the enzyme pepsin (activated by the acid) that is doing the breakdown of proteins in your stomach.
I'm not big fan of that term 'higher life form.' I don't know what criteria you place on the term, but perhaps you should reconsider its appropriateness since plants and fungi are very complex organisms. Some are extremely large----the biggest organism in the world is either a plant or a fungus depending on your preferred definitions----yet no species in either kingdom has a digestive system. Meanwhile there are some relatively simple microscopic animals which do have digestive systems.
@@picitnew Good point. Although the acid is absolutely important for defence from pathogens by causing their proteins to denature (basically unfold). Denatured proteins are functionally ruined, so bacteria and viruses and other pathogens get completely mangled by the acid.
@Mexican Scuintle I agree it's obvious he was talking solely about animals, which is precisely my gripe. It's neglectful to use the phrase "all higher life forms" when referring to animals.
Man I love dinosaurs.
This has to be the best channel on TH-cam.
9385dee7 I swear! I just wish the episodes we're an hour long instead of 10/15 mins
How about an episode with all the ancestors in the human evolutionary line? The ones that we know and / or speculate about? From protozoa, to sponge, to flatworm, first vertebrate, etc, etc... going all the way up to homo sapiens sapiens. A proper family album, going all the way back. Or at least till grandma's a mudskipping fish!
No, YOUR grandfather was a fish! :P
(From an earlier Sci-Show video--or rather, the description.) The idea itself is awesome and I would totally watch it. I've never found it an insult to say I'm related to everything else on Earth. I've always found it beautiful.
That would be good, but very long, episode.
AronRa is doing a series on it. You should check it out.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Agreed, I also find it beautiful. But there are people who still get a bit freaked out about it, which is kinda funny...
I'm surprissed you didn't mention John Sibbick, his art is on another level, D'Arcy too.
Knight's work was not only revolutionary but demonstrated just how much art can aid science, he's a legend.
This is a fantastic episode. I graduated college with a zoology degree and a minor in fine arts, and I love that this episode combines natural history and science with art and how they evolved and changed together. It really makes me happy when science and art come together like this.
I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. Remember a lot of these illustrations from my childhood books.
I was born in 1974. Dinosaurs books were big back in the 70's and early 80's. I had a ton of them. Like you I remember the illustrations being so real and life like looking. Charles Knight was the best dinosaur drawer I've seen so far.
This is one of the best things I've seen in a very long time. This was masterfully put together, and wove a visual and spoken story together in that most unique way that allows my imagination to run wild and maybe get lost in the world described--in this case, in the world of dinosaurs. This was a fantastic episode--pretty much an audio-visual piece of poetry. Props to the writers, editors, and Hank for the delivery!
I really enjoyed this episode especially that it shows our understanding of art, biology and behaviors
It’s just makes you realize how we see things subjectively most of the time.
The British researchers are always viewing old majestic and marvelous creatures best adapted to their environment in nothing less than perfect
Doug Henderson! He's a phenomenal illustrator and one of my favorite artists today. It's also worth noting that he took many notes from 19th century romantic painters, like John Martin who did that early watercolor of iguanodon. Henderson's work is much more somber though, and very beautiful work.
At the Science Museum of Minnesota, not too far from where I live, we have a beautiful mural of that painting of the trio of Allosaurs stalking a Diplodocus shown in this video in the dinosaur hall. Never get tired of looking at it.
I like how the illustrations and understanding of Dinosaurs has evolved so much while the toy line seems still stuck in the past.
Great episode!
I have a few suggestions of themes
Synapsids and anapsids
Origin of mammals
First reptiles
Origin of birds
Megafauna of mammals
Origin of amphibians
Fish phylogeny
Origin and dispersion of marsupials
Pterosauria
Pistosauroidea, Mesosaur, Ichthyosauria and other marine reptiles
Origins of snakes, crocodiles and chelonians
The basal taxonomy of dinosaurs and the discussion about the three groups
Outstanding list of intriguing topics!
This is why I fell in love with this creatures. The part of imagining their behaviour and how they move in the wild. In groups or alone and how they really look like strike my young self's imagination.
Wow, I grew up on these illustrations (slightly pre-internet!) and this really brought me back to a magical time while informing me on the new science. Love what PBS is doing with these channels!
I was feeling very immature, but then the guy who drew the picture took the words from my brain and made me feel like I'm not a child. I thought it looked like testicles and so did he and that makes me a well rounded adult!
Plants, more plants and maybe prehistoric weather? That could be fun! Lots of pictures! 😆
oh yes, please! And about when the fungi emerged!
Alice Ignis Yes! I love mushrooms!
It's remarkable how much power pictures can hold. When I was young (back in the 80s, sigh) the idea of birds being dinos seemed odd, because dinos had leathery skin and birds had feathers and dinos "just didn't look like birds". Now we know many dinos had feathers and we see them depicted with them and suddenly the idea of birds being dinos seems to make so much more sense.
My first thought: "Hey! That's Hank from SciShow. :)" My last thought as the video finished: "This is my new favorite video." I love how PBS helped explain the reasons behind the changing illustrations of dinosaurs and I totally love dinosaurs. I was born just as the Dinosaur Renaissance was starting up and in first grade I wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. Although I am all grown up and don't dig up dino bones for a living, I still love learning about them.
This is definitely one of my favourite videos on this entire channel, love the analysis and rationale given throughout each phase. Dont know how this channel doesn't have millions of subs.
This guy I like, good conversational tone and good pacing
My 4 year old daughter LOVES this channel, especially videos about dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs through art...what an original take! And thanks for naming the dino-artists and showing their works.
This might be my favorite episode of this series. Thank you!!!
Since you guys talked about dinosaurs today I think it would be cool for you guys to talk about the evolution of birds from dinosaurs to tge archaeopteryx to modern birds and everything in between. I think that would be a great video.
That would be something great to review at more detail, please make a video about this topic.
Oh I would love that! There's this miniseries called "Morphed", and there USED to be three of them up on TH-cam. There's now only two. The missing one was called something like "From Tyrannosaur to Turkey". :( (That said, you can still watch "When Whales Had Legs", which is also awesome.)
I think I see the trend today in paleoart being a shift from seeing dinosaurs as these huge fearsome monsters to being beautiful and majestic animals that almost reflect the diversity of life today.
I've never really been into history or archeology but I watch PBS Eons on repeat. You all do such a good job conveying information while making it easy to understand (and entertaining!) for people like me. Thank you for all your hard work!!
Can you guys do a Video about why early life split into plants and animals and what was there evolutionary purposes for splitting
Charles R. Knight's artistic works are so beautiful!
This was by far the most satisfying episode of the series. And Hank stands out as the best host.
This is taking me back to the time when I loved dinosaurs so much as a kid. But I stopped having interest in them when I was around 10. But thanks to you, you have sparked my passion again (I’m 15 now) and I’ll be pursing a career as a paleontologist. I’ve been watching these videos for about a year now and I am fascinated my these creatures and I want to learn more and more about them
Hows it goin?
This has been my favorite episode from this channel to date. Keep up the great work.
Wow, this was incredibly fascinating. I love learning not only about Paleohistory, but the evolution of our understanding of it.
10:26 that illustration by Gabriel Ugueto has some master level rendering and use of colors, it’s SO nice
I really appreciate that you include references in your description. Thank you for the great content.
Can you do an episode on fossils being found in places like Asia and Africa?
And Antarctica :-)
They kind of do that for a lot of videos, a huge portion of fossils are found in China and, especially with simian fossils, in Africa. Europe is actually quite underrepresented though we have the tar pits in Germany which they highlighted elsewhere.
This might be my new favorite episode -- great job, everyone!
I'm 22 and for two decades I've been obsessing over these animals. It's been a trip through nostalgia seeing all of these arguments and changing opinions synthesized in a 12 minute video, and remembering that I very much lived through the whole perspective shift regarding feathered dinosaurs. People were genuinely upset at seeing feathered dinosaurs and I was overjoyed. I went to the Chicago Museum of Natural History when I was 19 and seeing Sue's skull was like meeting a childhood hero. 65 million years ago and earlier dinosaurs simply existing led to making my day to day life a little bit brighter, just knowing I share a planet with beings as incredible as they. Thanks for the vid, great trip down memory lane. And thanks to the OGs, the dinos themselves, just for existing lol.
One of the best videos by Eons
Outstanding background score as well.
Oh man. I love every video on this channel, but this is my favourite so far!
Can you tell us about prehistoric Antarctica? What else used to live there besides Cryolophosaurus?
been hooked on this stuff since 93!! the first Jurassic park and starlight video was just down the street.
btw I'm 35 now....lol
This is so awesome....I recognized so many of these pictures from dinobooks of my youth (I'm 33 atm) and so much has been revised since the last three decades. Childhood feelings are coming back right now :-D
As an artist, I just love it when you actually recognize the artist behind the artworks. ❤ much love fam :D
This video was fantastic :D Love the longer videos. I don't really deal with art in my field of study so the idea that art encases what we know and how we view things was actually really interesting to me. Love this channel - keep 'em coming!
A proper dinosaurs movie is absolutley necessary in this hard times
My father still had his college Geology book when I was a kid way back when, and it was the Charles R. Knight art in that book that initially stoked my fascination with dinosaurs. I still have that book.
Towards the end he summed up how I feel watching this video. In a sense I feel "How wrong they were" 100 years ago. And my immediate thought was in a 100 years or however long people are going to look back and see how wrong we are today. Pretty crazy. I bet a lot of people then were as self aware as we are now. But you don't know what you don't know until you know it. Until they discover more!
While I’m sure that scientists hypothesis on dinosaurs physical appearance are extremely well researched and take root in the fact that almost all living things are generally more earthy in color, there isn’t any science definitively saying that dinosaurs weren’t hot pink so I am going to indulge in the belief that they are ✨
I believe you can get hot pink dinosaurs in Ark lol
Hot pink Parasaur
Well birds can ne pretty wild
Their coloring is mostly artistic freedom. You can imagine them as you want, especially the feathered dinosaurs. For one or two dinosaurs they actually think to have figured out, but of course there is no guarantee that they are totally right. One of the PBSEon videos is addressing it, I believe.
This was absolutely FASCINATING!
Thank you for mentioning Zdeněk Burian, the Czech painter. It is nice to hear, that scientist from big country like America still value the contribution to science of a small Czech man. And I forgot to mention I love your videos.
Do a video on T. rex with feathers or ice age mammal colors.
Im actually in love with this channel. My favourite science youtube channel + my favourite hosts + dinosaurs = nerdgasm . Keep up the good work ! 😁
9:52 can we just have a moment to appreciate the dinosaur named after a student's mother? that's so sweet:')
yeah
I would love a video about the history of dinosaurs in moving pictures.
I love these videos so much, they give me insight on things I didn't know much about the history of our planet Earth.
This is probably my favorite video I have seen it like 6 times and probably many more
All those paintings remind me so much of my childhood it's crazy
I love the piece at 7:40 as it looks like they're playing to me but could be happily killing each other. Its a really cool and beautiful work of art.
Such great videos! Well done, Hank and co!
Loved this historiography of the scientific/artistic view of the dinosaurs. Great! Continue being awesome!
Thank you very much for mentioning Zdenek Burian!
This is one of my favorite dinosaur videos ever and I have been watching since I was a young boy
Thank you so much for this show
2:17 The way he said "Really?"🤣🤣
2:20
All Yesterdays is an amazing book which talks about this. Really cool concepts and drawings
That was a great ride! Thanks for the run up though science and art at the same time
Loved the video! So great to see BHL books and our Megalosaurus blog post used as references :-)
2:22 well i dont blem em, i just thought of the same thing when 1st time in my life , i saw that image in your video.
Beautifully narrated.
8:27 Hey the Peabody Museum!! I used to go there all the time as a kid.
There was a lot of talk about changing the mural bc it’s not scientifically accurate but I’m glad they kept it around. It shows how scientists have learned so much more about dinosaurs since the mural was originally painted. Science is wrong sometimes and it’s important to remember that.
Best channel on YT right now
A video on how DNA studies have helped our understanding of dinosaurs. And, how the study of plate tectonics has helped our understanding of dinosaurs.
I'm loving that painting at the 4 min mark
I really enjoyed this video! Always interesting to look at information from different perspectives.
