My mother always confuses Hank and Joe. On her defense I'll say that she's almost 90 years old and has poor eyesight, so confusing two tall, blond-ish guys wearing glasses, both of them hosting a Youtube show about science is not so bad.
Is it possibly that someone who looks like you, might actually be related to you? Welcome to the science of doppelgängers. In this fun episode of SciShow, two bespectacled science YouTubers enter, one bespectacled science YouTuber leaves ... because while they may look suspiciously alike, Joe Hanson has his own channels while Hank’s gonna stick around here. The only question is who will return to their home territory with a well-earned sense of victory? Hang out with these fun guys and our host, Michael Aranda, in this unique episode of SciShow!

Haa the collab exists!!
Time for a reunion of sm sorts :)

Looking for SciShow elsewhere on the internet?
Wheres her glasses? She looks mucher better with them. Without, you can really tell her age.

OMG Joe Hanson and Hank Green are different people. How could this be!
PS: The fish that used the mimic octopus as a taxi definitely has some intelligence. Fish aren't dumb, clearly.
PPS: 16:08 One day we're going to be able to play with genes, not just eggs and sperms, and when we can do that we will be creating tailormade children from a bunch of eggs from each parent, making an actual pool of genetic material and combining them as needed. That would probably be the last step before tailormaking children by mixing genes from multiple mothers and multiple fathers to produce ideal offspring. There will be Godawful messes in this process and I predict there will be a few interesting inheritance and maternity / paternity lawsuits depending on how courts (mis)interpret the situation.

Oh. I realised now, that they are different people. I had thought: "That guy sure makes a lot of content, but hey, some people have a lot of energy."

All this time, I thought It's Okay To Be Smart was another Hank Green channel. Today I learned.

Myself and my mother had gone to the market and one of the ladies behind the deli counter greeted me, "Hiiii, Kim, how are you!!?? I informed her I wasn't Kim. She didn't believe me! She told me I worked with her for six months. I have never worked at a market, let alone that one. 😂 Also myself and my mother have been mistaken for two other ladies and they seem to be mother and daughter too. 😂

Quick observarion: Joe looks like Hank, Michael soinds like Hank.
Also, all three of them are weirdly attractive, in completely different ways.

The jawfish thing is kind of crazy to me. If this were a long standing instance of coevolution that would be one thing but the fact that it is pure opportunism makes it so much weirder. Coevolution doesn't imply intentionality. Jawfish could just have had a habitat that overlapped with mimic octopi at some point and the ones that swam next to octopi made more babies than the ones that stayed put or swam next to something else so now they have this behavior of swimming next to octopi. But it's different when this is just an opportunistic behavior involving species that have little overlap. How does the jawfish "know" it looks like a mimic octopus? What made it think this octopus would be something it could hide next to? I don't imagine jawfish just swim next to anything that happens by so there had to be some intentional selection going on here on the part of the jawfish and that is sooo much crazier to me than the mimic aspect of it.

Intelligence is so hot
More User Perspectives
Ohh the thumbnail changed i was searching for this for a hot min
@Radi_vvankerhello what’s happening in the prize zone this is so chaotic
@madsringswaldegan1058i thought they were they were the same person………….
@giovannab.4587Friends beyond the binary is perfect
@whorerisingWhy am I so attracted to these nerds
@whorerisingIf you used the doppelganger criteria for a match within a few millimeters, many "identical" twins would not pass. If you know them you can tell the subtle differences, and it's not just hairstyle or makeup.
@TaldaranAlways interesting, thanks.
@Articulate99there are quite number of people who have found doppelgängers - sometimes even to how they dress. no, they don’t match in many details, but they still look quite a bit alike. i’ve seen photos of people who are living now, where they have found look-alikes in old photos or even good portraits before cameras. amazing!! 🌹🌱
@feralblueeJoe looks more like John than Hank.
@LizzyMarieTinaThey dont just look similar. They behave very similar.
@d.christianrathjens7209I am just starting to watch this. Love it. 😂 Great!
@d.christianrathjens7209I'm tripping balls, man! Having Joe and Hank in the same video is just wild!
@djgulston"Huh, is that Joe in the thumbnail? No, no, that's Hank talking, I must need to clean my glasses. ... Okay now you're just screwing with me."
@JetstreamGWi dont get why neither chose fish. many fish have symbiotic relationshisp with bigger animals........
@serenityq26I got three wrong 🙂
@codyanderson7409My two favorite dudes, let's see if I can beat them 🤔
@codyanderson7409I can't believe stefans REALLY straight:O
@everythingStardustShinesWOW THEY MADE THAT BATTLE CATTLE GAME AT THE WOOOORST TIME considering Americans tend to reject things like oh... science
@everythingStardustShinesGo get them Hank
@nancyswass119With a haircut and a clean shave, my boyfriend could be a third, even smaller version of the two of them 😆
@kittiehonohanlast one is in ratio not fraction
@patriciaangelapainter8278sharpening pencils again...
@patriciaangelapainter8278hahahaa
@patriciaangelapainter8278Joe Hanson is just what would happen if Caldwell Tanner was Hank Green
@jacklandismusicSciShow should have cloned Hank and tested him against himself.
@asinglebraincell6584Ha, ha! I'm one of those people. Some time ago, I thought the host of Be Smart was also a host of PBS Eons.
@chiphogFriends beyond sci show, you just died to me. If a show about science doesnt teach and uphold simple science as truth and opposes the nonsense thats going on, it isnt a sci show its a objektiv reality show. And something like an objektiv reality just doesnt exist. There is 1 reality. If sci show opposes these easy, long time accepted as indisputeable, concept.... it doesnt deserve the scy nor to to be a show.
@vinlaster6204How am I just finding out Hank and John green are brothers wtf 🤯
