    What If You Mated With Neanderthals?

    About 50,000 years ago, we shared this planet with different hominids called the Neanderthals. Their species wasn't human, but they weren't far from it either. No longer walking among us, these early cousins of humans died out long ago. But not before they had a chance to, uh, get intimate with some of our ancestors. But if you were to mate with a Neanderthal today, what would your children look like? And how much money would you spend on a date? Watch the full episode here.

    What If 3I/ATLAS Collided with Earth?

    This is a simulation of what would happen if an interstellar harbinger of doom smashed into Earth. That odd cigar-shaped asteroid is Oumuamua, the very first interstellar rock on record. 'Interstellar' means it came from outside the Solar System. The force of a collision with this rock would carve a crater the size of a city, vaporizing everything nearby. However, Oumuamua is not the worst interstellar rock.
