|     1:15    |     NEWS    | Ancient Remains Offer Clues About Early Americans I'm always amazed by how skeletons, just like yours and mine, can become clues for studying our millenia-old ancestors. Two skeletons unearthed during a dig in El Salvador show the burial practices of an ancient group similar to the Maya. Pottery found in their vicinity may tell how they viewed, and likely feared, the afterlife. —Sarah Gibbens, online writer WATCH NOW SHARE

|     2:48    |     NEWS    | Dian Fossey’s Life With Gorillas Revealed in Rarely Seen Film National Geographic has a treasure trove of documentaries spotlighting world-class explorers and pioneers. It was a pleasure to view this vintage production featuring the famed zoologist Dian Fossey, and to see her intimate work with the mountain gorillas of central Africa. So much of today's conservation efforts—and successes—can be traced to Fossey's immersive, humanizing observation of her animal subjects. —Jennifer Murphy, producer/editor WATCH NOW SHARE

|     3:25    |     101 VIDEOS    | What You Need to Know About Polar Bears About two weeks ago, I walked into National Geographic and started work on my first official video project: Polar Bears 101. Equal parts commanding and charismatic, these enormous mammals never cease to amaze. I was surprised to find out that approximately 80 percent of all polar bears live in Canada, and many are forced to hunt further inland due to melting sea ice. From the basics to the bizarre, this video covers it all. —Crystal Solberg, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE

|     1:43    |     NEWS    | See Two Spacecraft Journey to the Outer Reaches 40 years and 10 billion miles ago, the twin Voyager spacecraft were launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It boggled my mind to learn that Voyager 1 has actually left the solar system (the first human-made object to do so)—but what really amazed me was the idea that these cow-sized probes will travel so far and so long, they might outlive the sun. Knowing humans were able to make such spectacular things in 1977 gives me hope for the the work we do today. —Rachel Brown, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE
