11:30 pm
can get really crowded on certain the main season. lucas steger investigates. how does the idyllic north sea island handle over tourism? check in in 30 minutes on d. w. a global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect habitats? we can make a difference. global ideas, environmental series in global $3000.00 on d, w, and online c settles are remarkable creatures, but they're under threat. we had to kenya this week to meet people trying to help. also on tomorrow to day, why do humans have different skin colors? and how do they come to exist? but 1st, robots on the rise. we take
11:31 pm
a look at them in action in traditional handicrafts that and more coming up on the show. ah, hello and welcome to tomorrow. today the science show on d. w. in the movie i, robot, humanoid robots who serve humanity, suddenly turned on their master's should we be fearing a similar fate from these guys? not for now. quite the opposite. collaborative robots have been assisting us with tedious tasks in factories for a long time. but can they also be of help with traditional fine craftsmanship? this is vance funding. a berman based company that makes 3 d models. employees here are used to working with conventional industrial robots, my key,
11:32 pm
whether shaping 3 d models um architectural projects. the machines are generally program to perform a single, extremely well defined task, such as creating a specific shape. but this robotic arm, both some new capabilities lie. so unlike with regular industrial robots, you can guide this one by hand off hughes, a release button. so you can tell it, here was your working area. you might be exact like you do with industrial robots. it was, i was a molten on these new specimens are known as co bots. short for collaborative robots. they're easier and safer to work with. you the ox. there is a sensor in every accident and as soon as it encounters too much resistance, you can just go like this and it's dogs and lab testing. that's for that sort of that way. you can work closely with the robot based on this. and that's the idea,
11:33 pm
at least. but what's it like in practice? can co bonds really perform the jobs of highly skilled crafts people? hustle is a family run woodworking business, which specializes in chairs. once a furniture series has been designed, the 15 staff members must often produce a large number of identical items. a repetitive and labor intensive undertaking. for these days, a new calling helps them fashion share links. the man responsible for the coban concert mazda is impressed by the new team members collaborative credentials
11:34 pm
position on them. it's exciting super programming. a robot is interesting because it's relief to see that it works by itself, and you don't have to hover over it the whole time when it motivation. the comments job is to position wooden parts in front of the saw. these are then shaped for use and the length of the chair a fully automated process. mussa used to have to do this work himself. the company employs conventional industrial robots as well as the co bought. this one here has just one job painting chairs. it's not designed to perform any other task, but commas are more flexible and don't have to be kept behind a protective barrier. could these new colleagues replace their human counterparts
11:35 pm
managing director peter hosso isn't worried populated, to pick homer finding, especially since isn't actually that easy. and the time we saved can be much better spent by say, developing products or building devices, conflicts and things that are incredibly important each day to day. but for which there's often too little time because you're too busy getting other urgent things done. thinking leading almost on top of that experienced and skilled craft, people must train the co bought in the 1st place. the machine needs time to master new work, clothes and processes and was quickly shifting. you have to give things much more thought than usual at all with all kinds of and a robot doesn't have eyes. most is, it can't see if something was dirty or when there's an crack or not hole in a piece of wood with a ingles. as the give chance, so there's quite a bit to learn is to lana because the co bought itself can't
11:36 pm
see what it's doing. the one worker must anticipate each potential stumbling block . and that's a lot of work back at the model maker vac furniture in berlin. they're already working on a potential solution to this kind of limitation with the support of the cities technical university. they've equipped the co bought with a 3 d camera programmer, tilo really explains the benefits will be recorded with we fitted this co bought with a stereo camera because even though it recognizes its position in the room with its limbs, it can't see its environmental type deal table the camera makes that possible and let us create a 3 d image shackleton doubling. as a result, the coma can no fashion a piece of wood independently responding to the curved surface and adapting its movements accordingly. it's a capability that could one day be applied to other tasks like detecting dense and sending them down. this kind of work is usually quite tricky.
11:37 pm
and labor intensive is the situ stove, as it generates a lot of dust and it's noisy, it'll, in the few. but it's really common in woodworking diocese. when i did something we'd like to delegate to a callback. and so people can focus on more enjoyable tasks, noises. the tournament in the shifting can, will co bonds become more widespread and woodworking shunts, if the attitudes of their human colleagues or anything to go by the chances are good. did you know that sea turtles hope many reco breaking title? like when they sleep underwood? sometimes it's up to 9 minutes between individual heartbeats. mm hm. they can travel long distances up to 100 kilometers a day with
11:38 pm
a sea turtles of deep dive is they can plunge over. so miss her under was in kenya, a conservation organization wants to protect the endangered marine creatures. a turtle rescuer. fi key re key. ponder is heading out with a 3rd time in one day, a turtle got caught in a fishing net. if it's injured, keep aunty will provide 1st aid. i think it's a green sea turtle. the most common species here on the coast of kenya. it's around 12 years old and healthy weighing almost 30 kilograms to record data on the turtles . the rescuers have developed an app glass of a voe for use. we fishermen caught and killed the turtles to eat them or sell them, grew radical them yet. when the c conservationists came here, they raised our awareness about the importance of the sea turtles for the ecosystem like any ha, that guy iraq, so we don't do those things anymore. i really misha,
11:39 pm
barrier my us. the turtles that are caught and registered by the fishermen are assigned individual numbers. each animal is easily identifiable. if she would have been sick, you would see that the flesh on the neck would be floppy aunt with as if she would be sick. you would see that there much thank any the ice in the sockets, but because the protruding like that, that means the tattoo is sick and because she has been caught inefficient care, that means the tattoo woo has heat. the sea turtle must be returned to the water as quickly as possible, but not in places where dangerous nets and motor boats are lurking. instead, keep on the releases the turtle in the wood. tom o marie national park where she is safe for now. secure rec, upon the rescued 5 turtles to day this month, he save more than a 100 quite an accomplishment. the climate crisis,
11:40 pm
the destruction of habitats, and the increased plastic waste in the oceans are all problems that make life more difficult. for turtles all over the world, some species even faced the threat of extinction. ruth carissa is a nurse who takes care of the sick and injured animals. for 10 years, she has been nursing the particularly difficult cases back to health. one of them is patty. the so called olive ridley sea turtle has been in this turtle hospital for 2 months. a fisherman saw it in a dock floating on the surface, a clear sign of float, or syndrome. patty came in as a filter and we say a filter, meaning that she cannot go under water and water normally strikes and mines and they come through that hospital like that is 2 things. a living just at plastic and build gas in their body cavity. and they can not go under or they have an issue with their lungs out in the ocean. patty would have starved to day. she's undergoing some tests to convince nurse co,
11:41 pm
hindi chung gower that she can dive again, and that she's strong enough to survive in the ocean. with a touch to align patty floats over the sea. we'd meadows of the what tom will marine national park. she appears to have overcome the illness. patty spent 30 minutes under water before katy chunk. gower pulls the line back in . that's enough swimming for to day. but soon patty will be able to return to the indian ocean permanently. to have a rental. she, they are currently 28 workers involved in rescuing kenya's turtles. these nightly patrols of the beach are especially important. carlos fonda tracks, turtles that lay eggs and nose which nests have eggs that will soon hatch?
11:42 pm
and sure enough he finds a green sea turtle. he knows the location, so we can find the nest again later. the eggs can fall as far as 80 centimeters. it's a big effort and can take up to 3 hours. in the end, this turtle lays more than $100.00 eggs, though not all of them will hatch. my passion is to make sure that we see they didn't get a species that be the future that generation common. see them because they thought was up endangered. saw by doing these were to thing them living then taking care of the nest, but a means in the future. we're going to have the vip religion of them. the battles like be increasing. lots of turtles hatched to night in barking on a battle against the odds. this month, more than 1500 baby turtles made their way from the beaches of war. tom moved to the ocean where they'll continue fighting to survive as
11:43 pm
a species. species becoming extinct is often related to our agricultural practices. mano cultures destroy biodiversity and make plans more susceptible to pass. crump diversity is increasingly being sacrificed for ease of cultivation, noticed fruit and vegetables, but grains to focus is now shifting back towards the so called o variety, ah, wheat. the most important food crop on our planet. people have been growing it for 12000 years. the grain varieties we eat to day were developed over many generations . each variety has its own unique advantages. green researcher fleet, week long in nose, their strengths and their weaknesses. the 1st grain that humanity cultivated
11:44 pm
successfully was the primitive and corn wheat. 5000 years ago i in cornwall was the last thing this guy ate betsy, had it in his stomach when his dramatic tour of the alps came to an end. what makes i'm corn wheat so special? his numbers icon of i'm born is unique because it has twice the minerals of other types of wheat that's crucial for nutrition. on a returning bread or whole wheat is considered a key source of vitamin and lights, and i and corn wheat has even more uncle no have us mail icon is even considered more resistant to pass but fine corn we was replaced by emma emma was the main grain of egypt and boasted much higher yields. julius caesar was a fan. he was introduced to em or when he conquered egypt. and then he ordered it to be grown throughout the roman empire. the star of
11:45 pm
a success story does is about the feel emares much higher yield was what made it so popular than that more people needed to be fed. it worked better. no press off unless if you're off i see it. if you look at the ears of grain here, put a single ear next to the other and they're completely different dimensions. so dim and so on and to day emma has become popular again because of its robust flavor. but spelt is much better known, especially among the health conscious. oh, st. held a guard of being and once said, spelt is the best grain. it keeps the blood fresh and healthy. but what makes spelled so special jarvis of your din? good. do a lot of research on spell it. i'd like to confirm hildegard claim missing. we're looking for the substance that she might have meant to debbie's. but what we've seen is also in weight, while we can't really say it's healthier yet. sawgrass viscous info. now,
11:46 pm
right. the green of the north right thrives were other species fail in cool climates and sandy soil. ry grains are slightly darker than wheat. bread made of rye was long considered the food of the poor until the 19th sixty's ryan was very common in germany. but then the triumphant advance of modern wheat began. sweet varieties emerged that were hardy gave very high yield and were easy to work with. tightened ist and wheat is easy to produce. it stores very well. and if you grind it, you get the 1st simple ingredient that fills you up and brings many key nutrients to our daily diet. feel everything out of so yes, so 20 percent of the world's calories, and nearly as much protein. what come from willa dryden and ellen homeless and lifeless? lots of calories and lots of protein from lots of people. that's the crowning
11:47 pm
achievement of modern wheat. but it warm sweetly, longings hard to find a field of ancient and corn level as gunsmith. if you're looking for something very unique try, i'm point it's him attractive. nice crop that brings back different flavors and interesting nutrients to our daily bread. and it can be used to make super cool foods law, but i'm corn yields less than half as much as modern weight, which is why i'm corn is considered a luxury product. if i was let is read, why i do you have a science question, you'd like us to answer things send it in. if we answer it on the show, you will receive a little surprise from us as a thank you. come on just don't. ah, you can find us online at d, w dot com slash science,
11:48 pm
or on twitter at dw undisclosed science. john gutierrez from kenya asked, why did people have different skin colors? we didn't always. all early humans were black. the ancestors of all modern humans come from eastern africa, but more than 100000 years ago, homo sapiens spread out from there. and before long, practically every corner of the planet. in the process, some humans changed their outer appearance in many ways. for example, the skin's color altered at some point, homo sapiens arrived in europe and ended up in places like this, northern german beachside resort. and by the time they settled there, their skin had turned pale. nowadays, some people deliberately head out into the sun to get a tan with these
11:49 pm
messiah in eastern africa, are still as dark as early humans. dark skin protects you more effectively from powerful ultraviolet radiation in the tropics. dark skin is dark because it contains a lot of natural pigment called melanin, and the protection it provides is important because u v raised destroy a vitamin in the body that is important to cell division. for example, during prenatal development, the further away you get from the equator, people evolved to have pale skin with less melanin. as movie radiation is so much weaker there than in the tropics. and as the body also needs a certain degree of u. v raised to produce vitamin d. it plays an important role in building bones and helps ensure the immune system works perfectly. oh,
11:50 pm
where the human animal, o living organisms still cub in attendance. with to the organism has dine, it's age, can be estimated using the so called radio carbon method. the 1st reset it to do this in africa was senegalese historian shake and her d up the deed you series african roots features a short profile of him meets jake on to deal with after intensive study of traditional islamic teaching. young jake, on to the op, left, his son a go home in 1946 and headed to paris, france. with he studied the great western thinkers only to discard their euro centric views
11:51 pm
and disprove them, ah, ancient egypt was a case in point. the mighty pharaohs, he said, would not white is often depicted ah, they were black africans. ah, he backed his findings by examining archaeological finds in his radiocarbon laboratory the 1st of its kind in africa with after his death center goals, oldest university took take on to the ops name to honor the leading african scientist and precursor of africa. centrism
11:52 pm
in an innocent band aid or the concealer from the pharmacy. subtle examples of structural racism because the colors of these products are made for fair skinned people. when whiteness is considered the norm, bull, other skin tones, appear as a deviation. in many cases, even unconscious. why thinking leads to discrimination? journalists, charlotte are viewed am on reports from countries in asia and africa. it took her quite a while to realize she has colored skin white. i spieth ski again in over example, when i go somewhere in india or an african country. and i'm in the lobby of a lavish hotel that i could never afford. no one stops me. fineman doesn't know. i can simply walk in because people think i look like someone who embodies wells
11:53 pm
fargo who has a respectable passport or whatever a mock. she's also been confronted with her white privilege at home in berlin, hadn't of either anna lynn's with yet for a while. i had a west african partner, amelia, and once when he was visiting me in berlin, he went to the supermarket. i always used to go to, to pick up some fresh lettuce for ha, because they'd run out he left without buying anything. he was stopped. and his bag was champ because he was suspected of shoplifting. but that never happened to me. there's research has confirmed the systemic advantages. white people have a study by the social science center in berlin says job applications from white. it's 17 percent more positive responses compared to people of color. even with matching qualifications, read among delves into whiteness in her book, white supremacy. long farewell vertical whiteness studies have been taught at german universities for about 10 years. but black people have had to deal with
11:54 pm
white privilege for centuries. today, people like journalist malcolm or hon way are using social media platforms to colon white. people to reflect on their privilege was it was honestly, it was really interesting to see how some twitter users reported that they gave other white people favorable treatment because of their whiteness. his own and for tyler to give him a let me read you a story that was unexcused and so much be his asthma. fought for yamaha 2 years ago, i had an apartment to give away, and i could choose candidates, osby in the shop, and then i chose a white journalist because i thought i'd have the least stress with that person. that many people of color had no chance that still bothers me to this day. hash tag critical whiteness. i thought it was great. that person could admit that so openly, even though it's obviously sad that things like that happen. many german white people claim not to notice skin color, but in practice they speak to people of color in english or stop and search them more often, not seeing race also means not taking people of color seriously when they talk
11:55 pm
about their experiences or when they point out privileges that give white people power for charlotte avita man, letting go of a white supremacist mindset means rethinking what we've learned schoolbooks, historical analyses and memorials like here in berlin's vill him strada a small plaque commemorates the dividing up of africa by colonial powers. in 1884, they are dogs of german colonialism cons to approximately 1000000 deaths in africa . one for me, this is not an appropriate place to commemorate a 1000000 dead when people come here once a year to pay their respects. read amman is usually the only white person present who gets commemorated, who gets jobs and apartments. who do we punish critical whiteness tackles these questions? what else can be done? some of them at money fight. you can never go wrong by listening men's group. i'm lucky not to be physically disabled. then. if i want to learn about that,
11:56 pm
and i'm fortunate enough to have someone with whom i can talk about these issues, then it's best to listen instead of interjecting the entire time and making myself the focus even in mythical, sustain. actively listening to people of color online in daily life and in research, one way of overcoming a white supremacist mindset that was tomorrow to day for this week. genie next week for more exciting topics from the world of science. until then to stay healthy and curious. ah with
11:57 pm
who hi there and welcome to fill in where summer sunshine nature are abundant. but it can get really crowded on the main season.
