TREY the Explainer

I've finally back with my annual Paleontology recap. In this video I list a few of the biggest discoveries made in the last year from giant worms to swan-like raptors to helmeted slugs. Hope you enjoy! Background music by Kevin Macleod Mark Witton's Post of Scaly rex: http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2017/06/revenge-of-scaly-tyrannosaurus.html

In this video, I talk briefly about a few interesting discoveries and experiments made over the years concerning evolution and natural selection in modern animals with the hope of convincing some people that evolution is indeed real and visible in the real world and that animals can change and evolve over time and in response to environmental conditions entirely naturally. Hope you enjoy! Intro by AwesomeMations Background Music by Kevin Macleod

Hello! This is my first video on Human Diversity and evolution. In this video, I discuss quite a bit about ancient and prehistoric human migration and evolution into East Asian, specifically Japan. I examine the strange and somewhat mysterious case of the Ainu tribe and other members of Y-Haplogroup D, and in doing so break down what exactly happened in Asia during our prehistory. Hope you enjoy! Sorry for the popping audio, its a new microphone and I'm still trying to figure things out. Background Music by Kevin Macleod

From Lascaux to Chauvet to Australia, in this video I discuss the many illustrations of now extinct prehistoric animals and how they can be significant to paleontologists. Additionally, artwork created by our long dead ancestors can actually tell us a lot about prehistory we wouldn't know otherwise from cultural norms to religious beliefs. So I've taken the time to examine what prehistoric art can tell us. We will talk about everything from Irish Elk to Marsupial Lions so I hope you enjoy! Most Images are taken from Wikimedia Commons

In this video, we return to the ocean and discuss/examine several mysterious unidentified corpses of strange sea monster-like creatures (called Globsters) and try to identify them to see if they belonged to undiscovered animals or are merely known animals that have been mistaken. Hope you enjoy and learn something new in this new installment of cryptid profile! Sorry if this video is a little graphic.

In this video, I will discuss the biblical sea monster named Leviathan. The Leviathan is often claimed by creationists to be a description of a dinosaur or prehistoric extinct reptile... however Leviathan's true nature is far more fascinating, giving insight into the mysterious extinct religion and mythology of the Proto-Indo Europeans and the connections between cultures throughout the ancient world.

Today I discuss the amazingly weird commonalities that appear in nature that evolve entirely independently. This video will examine the curious biological phenomena of convergent evolution and what it can tell us about life on Earth. We will discuss everything from dinosaurs to sea slugs in this video so I hope you enjoy! All copyrighted images are protected under Fair Use for reasons of education.

I'm supposed to say "Sometimes..." don't worry you didn't miss much. I was going to re-upload but I think its pretty minor

New video on a cryptid! This time I discuss the "mystery" of the De Loys' Ape, a Bigfoot-like primate that was photographed deep within the jungles of South America and is claimed to be an undiscovered ape man. We will tackle the question on if this really is an undiscovered species or not. Additionally, I discuss the history of European and American exploration into the "undiscovered" jungles of South America in the early to mid 20th century such as Percy Fawcett's adventures. Hope you enjoy! Edit: No don't worry, I wasn't dissing David Attenborough at 3:28. I was doing the opposite, I was praising him for being a person that's probably actually worth of the title of being an "Indiana Jones". I love the guy and the other scientists I listed as they actually did contribute to scientific understanding unlike some of the other people I mention in this video. It went by super quickly and my editing there was pretty bad for timing. My bad. Another Edit: I added some citations, my bad for not including them in the video originally Hemming, J.

Hello guys! New video discussing the anthropological/archaeological debacle called "the Kennewick Man" a mysterious 9,000 year old Native American skeleton that caused a great debate over many concepts like "kinship" and "family relations", ethnicity in prehistoric remains, human migrations, and the conflict between science and spirituality. This is the first one of a video series discussing various famous and infamous human remains throughout human history that give us great insight into our past and even our present. Hope you enjoy!

New episode of Anthropology Profile! In this episode, I discuss handicaps and disabilities visible in the archaeological and fossil record of humans and examine if that savage "caveman" stereotype is actually warranted or not. Hope you enjoy! My apologies for the downgraded microphone/audio this episode, my usual microphone is missing right now, but hopefully by next video it will be back. Also sorry for the extended wait my bad!

In this episode we investigate the strange and horrifying true story of how a mysterious “beast” terrorized the French countryside for years. Was a monster? Simply a wolf? Or something else? We will try to examine and breakdown what this “beast” might have been in this installment of cryptid profile with Trey the Explainer. Hope you enjoy.

New video discussing the religious and textual significance of the "Nephilim" or Giants and the "Sons of God" referenced in the Hebrew Bible. In this video I try to tackle the meaning of these strange and obscure biblical creatures/beings in the Bible in their original intended contexts. In this video I cover a lot of the history and origins of Judaism as well as the Bible itself. I talk about everything from the Documentary Hypothesis to the Dead Sea Scrolls to Greek Mythology! I hope you enjoy and learn something new ;) Citations: Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible by Karel van der Toorn and Pieter Willem van der Horst Yahweh and the gods and goddesses of Canaan by John Day From Creation to Babel: Studies in Genesis 1-11 by John Day Of Demigods and the Deluge: Toward an Interpretation of Genesis 6:1-4 by Ronald S.

Throughout the decades countless hair, tissue, and blood samples of cryptids or undiscovered organisms have been discovered and reported across the globe.Today we examine the DNA evidence of cryptozoology in order to determine if mysterious creatures like the Bigfoot, Yeti, and Loch Ness monster actually exist. Hope you enjoy!
