You Are Statistically Impossible

There are blood types so rare that fewer than 50 people on Earth are known to carry them. Fewer people than have walked on the moon. By the end of this video, you'll understand why a handful of completely ordinary things about you, combined, make you statistically rarer than that. In this video, we explore the most extraordinary biological traits known to exist, what happens when you start stacking rare probabilities together, and the number that proves something genuinely surprising about every single person watching.
