At about 2:20, the narration says that the Jōmon period in Japanese prehistory is “traditionally dated from 14,000 to 300 years ago.” That would place the end of the Jōmon period at about AD 1700 — a startling error.

A quick look at the web reveals the source of the error. That part of the narration was obviously lifted from the Wikipedia entry for “Jōmon period,” which states that the era is “traditionally dated between c. 14,000–300 BCE”. That would have been all very well and good, except that the borrowing of the text was not done attentively, and missed the all-important “BCE”, instead reading the “300” (and, indeed, the “14,000”, as well!) not as a date, but as an interval into the past from the present.

So, to be clear: the Jōmon period ended 2,000 years ago, about 300 BCE, •not• 300 years ago, or about AD 1700.

And, on top of that, the narration states that the Jōmon period is dated as beginning “14,000 . . . years ago,” but a careful reading of the Wikipedia entry and the sources it cites shows that they actually date the beginning of the Jōmon period to 14,000 •BCE• — that is, •16,000• years ago.

So, the narration of the video •should• have said, that the Jōmon period in Japanese prehistory is “traditionally dated from 16,000 to 2,300 years ago.”

Y'know it's stories like this that can make paleontology fun with finding a story from just bones.

I'm an ichthyologist and I'm very happy to see that shark awareness is talked about here.

Thank you for giving the spotlight to some of the most misunderstood and wonderful creatures necessary for maintaining the health of our marine ecosystems

Sharks are friends, not food. Or as Steve Irwin would say, they aren't evil ugly monsters.

Don’t eat sharks eat dolphins

Ichthyologist is the most bullshit title ever, lmao. "Dolphin guy" is better, I think.
