Andy mentions at the end of the video that JavaScript needs to be turned on in the browser for the HTML5 Canvas element and all of its functions to work, And then says that all of the previous jQuery programs would run without JavaScript?

Why is that? Isn't jQuery JavaScript? How can all of the previous projects in the jQuary basics course run without JavaScript?
