Crash Course Big History #1- #7- Documentarian

So I watched #1 through #7 of Crash Course Big History and have learned many things. One thing that I thought was very interesting was how I learned that Australia had broken off of Antarctica, but the thing I thought was interesting was how marsupials were the majority of the creatures that lived and evolved on Australia, resulting in kangaroos, lemurs, and many other creatures now on Australia. I also learned, or might I say clarified, on how we are more like cousins to Chimpanzees than a predecessor to them. They are like us  in how we both are from a close ancestor from a long time ago. We are no more genetically advanced than Chimpanzees. I also learned and thought it was interesting in how we share 98.4 percent of our DNA with the Chimpanzees. I enjoyed learning about the many different time periods including the Permian, Devonian, and Cretaceous.
