About Stickfolk
Stickfolk is a YouTube channel of stick-figure animated explainers about why people are the way they are: memory, fears, habits and the two-million-year story behind them, followed back through psychology, anthropology and evolution. Recent stories take on everyday rules and myths, such as the eight-glasses-of-water rule, forced password changes, insurance denials and padded flight times.
The website collects the long videos, films and Shorts, with topic filters (memory and mind, evolution, psychology, deep history) and pages with transcripts, chapters and sources. The channel says every story stands on named research, and that its frames are made with AI image tools in one stick-figure style under its direction.
The videos play on YouTube, and an e-mail list sends one message when a new story is out.
The makers' launch note
Why we built it
We built Stickfolk to make people feel less weird about being human, one drawing at a time. Each video takes one everyday experience or rule and follows it back to the research behind it, in plain English and in stick figures. The site has every video with transcripts, chapters and sources. The channel is brand new, so the comment section is still a blank page.
