PBS Eons explains 'How Animals Got Butts' for World Toilet Day

Happy World Toilet Day! I'm celebrating with PBS Eons explaining How Animals Got Butts.

While the evolution of the butthole was a major breakthrough in animal development, its story might actually end with redefining what it means to have a butthole at all.

Corrections: 06:10 Starfish are actually deuterostomes! Earthworms are protostomes. 06:18 Earthworms are actually protostomes! Starfish are deuterostomes.
I left two comments on this video. First, "It's literally a fundamental question, as fundament means buttocks or anus in addition to the foundation or basis of something." Second, "It took me five days to realize that you uploaded this on World Toilet Day. To be fair, it seems that no one else noticed that, either, so I think I'll be the first to wish Kallie, the rest of the Eons crew, and the viewers a belated happy World Toilet Day!" I knew then that I would be posting it today.

That's a wrap for PBS Eons doing for bathroom humor what it did for stoner jokes, telling the smartest ones on YouTube. Stay tuned for an evergreen educational post followed by a Storied video for World Television Day.
