TED: You have no idea where camels really come from | Latif Nasser

The video tells the story of Natalia Rybczynski, a paleobiologist who discovered a 3.5 million-year-old camel bone in the Arctic. Through collagen fingerprinting, it was confirmed to be a camel, challenging the traditional view of camels as desert animals. The video explores camel evolution, suggesting their adaptations may have originally evolved for Arctic conditions. This discovery prompts a reevaluation of how we perceive camels and highlights the dynamic nature of scientific understanding.
