00:00Speaking of monsters, I think we can all agree that one movie probably taught the bulk of
00:05us how in-vitro fertilization and cloning actually work.
00:09Jurassic Park.
00:11Thank you, Mr. DNA!
00:13It's kinda weird that you aren't a doctor, but we love you anyway.
00:16And historically, cloning hasn't been much more complicated than Spielberg made it out
00:20to be.
00:21For example, in 1928, Hans Spemann forced a salamander egg to produce clones just by
00:27tying a baby's hair around the egg as the cells split to push some of the nuclei into
00:33a separate little area.
00:34Naturally, he had to perform the act many, many times to verify the results, and we thank
00:38all the bald babies who sacrifice so much in the name of science.
00:42Of course, that kind of cloning is a lot easier to pull off with animals that are already
00:46parthenogenetic, which means they produce an egg that doesn't need to be fertilized
00:51to produce offspring.
00:53Parthenogenetic animals include aphids, tapeworms, jellyfish, marmor crabs, boa constrictors,
00:59lizards, wasps, and sponges, including the ones with square pants.
01:03And I know what you're thinking.
01:04What the f*** is a marmor crab?
01:07Look man, I just copy and paste Wikipedia and add jokes, okay?
01:10It's probably an eel or something, I don't know.
