@@EasyWinking Those kinds of free-floating planets are called "Rogue planets" and they mostly happen in the early life of the star-system. Most of them get gobbled up by the Gas Giants like Jupiter and Saturn or get flung into the empty void between the stars. Some get fused into smaller planets and produce moons around the formed planet from the debris.

[@CinJyxxe]

Also, when the rogue planet that became the Moon hit the Earth, it literally liquified them both for a while, and it was the impact force that shot out some ejection matter that eventually reformed into the moon. That's why there doesn't seem to be any impact crater - it was such a massive event that it basically restarted the planetary birth cycle, and both the Earth and Moon essentially became brand new planetary system.

5:18 Guys going on land probably started with fish living in shallow waters, and kind of scooting around in the most shallow areas. Those that could survive in areas that are more shallow get more food, and end up being more likely to make more fish that are more similar to them. Eventually, some started being able to quickly jump onto land, eat the food others couldn’t reach. Eventually, that turned into amphibians and stuff like that. Not just one fish changing like that all in one day, but one that was born slightly better at getting that food, and then being more likely to make a baby that is even better at it.

i laughed too! there were two atomic bombs dropped- on to two cities full of women and children, Hiroshima and Nagasaki- the belief by many Americans and others is that the US had no choice and needed to end the war- the truth is (there are many govt docs declassified that prove it) that the bombing campaign had destroyed many industrial areas and not only were the people starving the army and navy were massively under resourced. all experts said japan would be forced to surrender under collapse in 6 weeks. The US only had to wait it out, however billions of dollars had been spent on the Manhattan project to develop atomic weapons and the president decided to bomb civilians to a) test the bombs and b) show "strength" to the international community the effect on the bombs and victims were meticulously studied by the US govt (much like the nazees did experiments on Jewish prisoners of war) and then used to plan for any future similar attack's that might be coming for americans. In fact the reason American kids in the 1950s were told to "duck and cover" was that American scientists observed that some victims of the Hiroshima bomb had survived by simply being blocked by a table or wall, while the people next to them were incinerated. really f**ked up stuff. there are still people alive today who are suffering from radiation diseases and defects from the effects. if you haven't already you should check out Grave of the fireflies, or if you are VERY brave, barefoot gen. two excellent anime about the war from Japan's perspective.

5:07 The best way I can explain this is by saying nature isn't perfect. Like if it made something complex, it's gonna be pretty hard to replicate it. Pretty relatable. So there's bound to be mistake(mutations) some good and some bad. Sometimes, when shit happens, these mutations could be what makes a species survive. So those that don't survive, die, and those that survive because of their mutation gets to reproduce and pass on that mutation they just so happened to have and live on. So no, things don't just evolve whenever it suits them, it comes more from natural selection and genetic variation... if that makes sense

13:00 To address this point, I think the problem tends to be when religion gets mixed up with politics. A lot of times in history, religion is adopted by governments as a way of uniting the people (so that everyone has a common belief in something, on what is right and wrong, on the view of the world or how the world should be, etc.), but the problem with governments is that historically they have also manipulated religion into something to pit people against each other when they wanted to do something and wanted to get people on their side for it (for example, conquering a land). Often these things have little to nothing to do with the actual religions themselves, which is also why we see IN-fighting among religions with different sects beefing with and killing each other. I think the same problem exists with race, sex, or really anything else that involves group distinction or an us vs. them mentality, and if religion didn't exist, people would find another reason to hate or kill each other over (as they already do), but religion is a common one that gets manipulated because it involves something as grand as how people understand the world and the human condition. If that makes sense.

[@CinJyxxe]

My high school history teacher stopped during a lecture on the crusades, and asked us what he thought wars were fought over. We gave a bunch of answers like religion, economic systems, land, etc. The teacher stopped us and asked us to think of what the root of every single one of those things was. It came down to resources. In every single situation of war, the rationale can be boiled down to 'they have something we want.' The Crusades weren't about spreading Christianity, they were about reclaiming land that the Christians believed belonged to them. The Taliban and ISIS aren't fighting to spread Islam, they're fighting to retake what they feel America has taken from them. The Evangelicals aren't waging political wars in America because God decreed it, they're doing it because there's money to be made in the business of corruption. While the average believer in these causes might truly think it's because of their religion, it doesn't take much critical thinking to realise that the people actually making the decisions are happily taking advantage of the zealotry of their followers to achieve their own goals. Religion is never the point. It's just a convenient excuse because telling your religious faithful that you intend to slaughter thousands over material resources kind of defeats the whole point of the 'peaceful lie' that is religion. Religion creates a scaffold under which any selfishness and hypocrisy can be forgiven as long as they're aimed at the enemy.

4:44 "how does [evolution] work?" Im not a professional but i am studying and this is one of my favourite subjects. Many people think evolution is "hey, we need this character trait in order to survive, time to spend millions of years developing it." Which isnt entirely incorrect but is the wrong approach, which ends up with people getting confused. It works the other way around, and remembering the phrase "survival of the fittest" is one of the easiest ways to explain it. Instead of species evolving the traits they require in order to survive, nature really just tries a bit of everything. Whatever survives long enough to successfully mate, passes their genes to the next generation. If one particular trait is very successful, it keeps getting passed down. Anything that cannot survive as they are, or traits that are unhelpful, die out and dont get passed down to the next generation. Picture this - the evolution of the giraffes long neck. Im not saying this is exactly how it went down, but this is the example that helped me understand evolution. Imagine there used to be a giraffe species that had shorter necks. But for whatever reason, the only plants they can eat are high up in the trees. Only the girraffes with the longest necks would reach the food, and the others would starve. Over time, the giraffes with the longest necks would pass down their genes to their offspring, creating more of them. And the shorter necked girraffes wouldnt get the chance to reproduce, reducing the short neck trait. Eventually, you're only left with the long necks. Recently, scientists are starting to realise that evolution doesnt have to happen over millions of years. It can happen quite quickly. Its usually based on the pressures of their environment. Imagine a species of moth with two different coloured traits. Most of the population are green, with only a few brown moths. As they can both camoflauge in the trees, they both survive just fine. Then, a massive wildfire dominates the landscape, charring all the trees and reducing the leaves to ashes. Out of the surviving moths, the green ones stand out a lot more, and are therefore more likely to be eaten by predators. If all the green moths get eaten, only the brown moths are left to reproduce. In a relatively short amount of time, the entire population could be brown.

[@robertjohnson7877]

Explaining how life came about is my favorite thing ever. Chemical evolution is so cool. To start you have to talk about the Urey-Miller experiment. Back in the 1950s these two biochemists did an experiment in which they took a containment chamber, filled it with water, ammonia, methane, hydrogen, and all the things you expect to find on any fledgling planet. All the things you would expect on any new Earths. They put a fire underneath so it would evaporate, go into another container to be zapped with electrodes, cooled, funneled back to the original container and cycles back through. They are simulating the patterns of an early Earth, and simulating all the elements you could find on Earth. You take early simple ingredients, get them hot, get them cold, zapped with lightning and other normal processes. They ran it for a while and when they come back they took samples. To their surprise, the water is no longer clear, but is a gross reddish brown. They test it and find it is now full of amino acids. Amino acids are the things that build proteins and make life happen. That is called chemical evolution. Very simple inorganic ingredients come together via totally natural means and form organic macromolecules. There are 4 macromolecules that make up life. Lipids, proteins, carbs and nucleic acids. Those are the 4 macromolecules that make up everything alive. Each one is a polymer meaning its a molecule that forms a chain. I'll explain each of these below: PROTEINS are made of chains of amino acids that fold up on themselves. A chain of amino acids is a primary structure. Then it folds into an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet called a secondary structure. Then it forms a glob called a tertiary structure. Sometimes some globs come together and thats then a quaternary structure and so on. Thats how proteins work. Proteins make up skin, muscle, bones, and everything like that. CARBS are sugars. Long chain simple sugars such as glucose or fructose. If you stick them together you get sucrose. A bunch of those together makes a polysaccharide. This makes carbs like starche, cellulose and such. LIPIDS are fats. You have a twisted hydrocarbon chain that repels water and thats a lipid. There are various kinds like phospholipids where a long hydrocarbon chain comes off it to repel water and on the other end is a phosphorus group that attracts water. This makes a hydrophilic and hydrophobic end. One attracts and one repels water. If you take any lipid like cooking oil for example and put it in water it forms a bubble all by itself. Nobody has to tell it to do that. That's because a sphere is the smallest possible surface area and is the most energetically protected from the water around it. It would take more energy to make any other shape and the universe is lazy. Everything is always as energetically simple as possible. Lipids that naturally form out of normal stuff under normal circumstances, naturally form spheres. Amino acids which make proteins that naturally form out of natural stuff can get stuck in one of these spheres, and you now have something that practically represents a cell. All this stuff formed by totally natural means and naturally assumes the shape of a sphere can naturally come together and form a cell. You can do this in a jar. Now imagine that on a planet taking place over millions of years. The Urey-Miller experiment has been redone in different ways many times by putting other things in, leaving some things out, and hundreds of combinations and it just always works. Later, we figured out this happens in hydrothermal vents. They pump out acids and bases. These have proton gradients. Whats that? Well an acid is a chemical with a bunch of extra protons and a base is something that doesn't have enough and has too many electrons. When they neutralize they give off electrical charges that move one place to the next. This is how your cells make energy today. Mitochondria pass protons across a membrane. This turns a protein called ATP synthesis which makes adenosine triphosphate and thats how our body works. It's how most cells today work. Where can we find natural proton gradients right now? Hydrothermal vents. Where can we find the building blocks of lipids and proteins? Hydrothermal vents. We can even find amino acids, including all the ones important to life, in space. Just floating on asteroids. They form naturally all by themselves all over. You have the building blocks of life, the thing that makes energy in cells even today happening naturally all by itself in hydrothermal vents and all over the universe. Life then starts all by itself. Now we also have NUCLEIC ACIDS, the 4th macromolecule, which is DNA and RNA. We do debate what came first, but the most common consensus is RNA came first. I also follow the RNA world hypothesis. Let me explain why. RNA is cool because it isn't just something that carries information, but it also works as a catalysts to make reactions happen. A catalysts is something that lowers the activation energy of a reaction. It makes a reaction happen easier and faster with less energy. So RNA carries genetic information, it can also make more of itself, and it can make other reactions happen faster. Think about how proteins are made in your body today. It's like this. You have mRNA(messenger RNA) that makes proteins happen. How? It goes to a ribosome to be read. What are ribosomes made of? They are made of rRNA(ribosomal RNA), and aren't membrane bound organelles. In the ribosome something brings over amino acids to make the protein. What brings them over? tRNA(transfer RNA). So when your body makes proteins it uses RNA to tell RNA to use RNA to make a protein. Again, you can do this in a jar. That is why the major consensus is that RNA came first. RNA is something that is so unbelievably useful. Why do we have DNA then? Because once it happened to form DNA was/is really good at long term storage and it's far more stable meaning it stuck around better. You can divide it, make more of it, pack it into a tight wad and have it twist around proteins called histones to makes a tight rope called chromatin, and then chromatin forms a body called a chromosome. Thats how DNA works. It wraps around proteins, wraps into a thick rope, and those thick ropes form a chromosome. It's super easy to divide these and split them up. Is it so hard to believe that some of these naturally forming nucleic acids found their way into a blob of naturally forming lipids? THEN they split, THEN you have 2 sets of chromosomes in a cell THEN cytokenesis happens where actin filaments tighten around the cell in a contractile ring, and remember lipids form bubbles naturally, so once squished together you now have a cleavage furrow that then splits into two seperate bubbles! You now have dividing life out of literally "nothing". It's not difficult at all to say that very simple ingredients found all over the universe that naturally form organic molecules by natural processes then naturally stated making more of themselves. You then get a VERY early organism. Something so insanely simple. Not bacteria, that would be unbelievably complex in comparison. Just a very simple membrane, very simple genetic material and very simple proteins. The very basics of all of this. That is what we call LUCA. There was probably a ton of very early life, but LUCA is the one that stuck around. Everything that ever lived past that point is related to LUCA. We have a very clear picture of how everything evolved after that. I can gladly get into that if anyone want me to. I'm an evolutionary biologist so this tickles me all over when I get to explain it.

We’re actually highly adaptable, I think what you’re thinking about are highly specialized species who have adapted to a particular environment. They’re actually more prone to extinction because they’re so specialized and dependent on their habitat.

[@evorock]

Your question at 0:42 is a very good one, and something that even physicists don't actually know. However, they are working on it. at 4:08 that wasn't the ice age, but an event called snowball earth, which has been postulated to have ushered in a period known as the Ediacaran, which then led directly to the Cambrian explosion, which was where all major animal forms appeared (so chordates or animals with a spinal chord), segmented animals (so animals with a head something called cephalochordates), thorax and trunk). To answer your question at 5:07, evolution works on constant small changes to the population which become advantageous to the population. So in the case of what they call the 'fishibians' their gills became more concentrated with oxygen capturing villi. Then eventually these became so condensed that they could have formed very primitive lungs (similar to what you find in the lungfish today). The reason for this has been possibly linked to increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, raising temperatures and causing a greenhouse effect. Another reason could have been the divergence of apex predators such as the anomalocarids. Also whilst it may not seem like it, we are evolving. 20% of us are born without wisdom teeth now, some tribes in the Himalayas have evolved so that their lungs are better adapted to lower oxygen levels at altitude, and some in the Caribbean, have had specific genes called sonic hedgehog genes (which cause the breakdown of the skin between your fingers and toes) turned down to allow for webbing to appear, allowing these pearl fishers to be more efficient in water, when diving. at 06:39 you asked about the moon and the dinosaur extinction (KPg extinction event). The moon was formed ~4.51 billion years ago, after the earth was hit by a Mars sized planet called Thea. The KPg impactor was about 10 miles wide and hit a peninsula off of the east coast of Mexico in a place called Chixilub, which wiped out the non avian dinosaurs

[@jigstraw2809]

I think my favorite random science trivia is that time travel(to the future) is actually real. And Albert Einstein predicted it over a hundred years ago. might be a bit of a stretch calling it time travel, but his theories of special and general relativity included the idea that gravity is not a tethering force between objects, but rather a consequence of the curvature of space-time( which are actually the same thing and not two separate concepts) in close proximity to objects of incredible mass. the most accessible demonstration of this concept, at least where the explanation of "gravity" is concerned, is covering a round empty container with a piece of stretchy fabric. If you place a heavy object in the center, like a large steel bearing ball, the fabric becomes distorted into a funnel-like shape by its mass, which causes other less massive objects sitting on the fabric to roll towards the middle. Now imagine that instead of only space, the fabric also represents time. the closer to the object of incredible mass, and the greater the mass of the object, the more spacetime becomes stretched and distorted. all of this is to say that if you could leave earth and go take a lap around a celestial body of incredible mass, such as a bigger sun, or a black hole, or even a supermassive black hole (there's one at the center of every galaxy) you would experience time differently than those who remained on earth. specifically time would move more slowly for you. You would not be able to perceive this difference whatsoever, but when you returned to earth, time would have advanced significantly faster. This concept is called 'time dilation' and it isn't a theory or a hypothesis, it's a proven fact. Scientists took two identical timepieces and synced them as perfectly as possible. They kept one on earth, and sent the other up to the international space station for a period of time. Eventually when they brought it back to earth, the clocks were no longer in sync. The one that went to the space station was faster by a predictable and measurable amount. It was a very small amount, but it still serves as tangible evidence. (it was further away from earth's center of mass and as such, experienced less time dilation than the one on earth) so yeah, if you accept a couple of limitations, time travel to the future is a real possibility. The obstacle right now is space travel and all the compound problems associated with that.

[@BN_ECHO]

the moon formed long before the planet had life. it was a mars sized planet that hit earth, causing the entire planets solid mass to become liquid, and the moon formed from a small portion that was ejected and caught in our gravitational pull.

[@timelordacaelus5959]

13:20 That's called agnosticism. There are a few ways to define it, but one is to acknowledge the existence a higher power without specifying who or what it is, on the concept that such a power might be unknowable or too complex for us to understand. People are more comfortable with what's familiar to them, and so when thinking about whatever it is that is responsible for - or at least in charge of - all existence, we like to make it something familiar, like ourselves, animals we know, or even something we made. Hence why most gods you see in the world's religions are at least somewhat like us. 13:26 That's called zealotry and fanaticism, some people take their belief so seriously that anyone who believes otherwise is wrong and needs to at least be taught what to believe, or at worst be killed. "God's will" is also a great motivation for war in general. Convincing people that they have the approval, or even the encouragement and support of a divine power can make them much more confident in risking their lives for whatever cause you're fighting for.

humans are actually incredible at adapting not only because of our intelligence but also because our DNA actually changes to fit your environment, these would only be small changes and take time to make an effect but its the reason we can live in such diverse places. i also want to say that human civilization only goes back 100 thousand years but it takes millions of years to evolve, not to mention the fact that there used to be other species of humans such as the neanderthals and many others some of with had some form of civilization with jewelry and graves. if you want to see a bit of evolution over the course of our civilization, the average body temperature has dropped in the pass few decades, and looking at our early history we can see that we have gotten taller and our brains have gotten smaller. even though our brains have gotten smaller this doesn't impact our intelligence but rather our ability to process sensory input, this is because it is much easier to survive in modern civilization so we dont need to be able to detect predators from far away anymore. this is just my understanding so its probably not that accurate, so you should look into this yourself if you want to know more.

4:05 Hate to burst your bubble, but those few events were called snowball earths, hens why he used the term snowball. We are currently in an ice age as we have polar ice caps, however they are melting due to the fact we are entering a warming period of the earths cycle and climate change is speeding up the process.

[@horsebox5138]

The thing is animals have been around wayyyy longer than us so we haven't evolved much in recent history. Like as the video pits it, it took the fish 5 million years to be able to walk on land. Think about how long that actually is for a sec and it makes more sense

[@LuvMeeka]

Humans have developed physically in some regions where they fish in the sea. We can say they almost breathe underwater, because they can spend time more than the average time. We can adapt only when we put ourselves into the habitat.

[@ShotokanRed]

Common misconception about the "big bang" is that it was the beginning of everything. The problem with that thinking is you can then ask "what came before?" A great analogy I've heard from an expert went like this: "Asking what came before the big bang is like asking what is north of the north pole." Gravity stretches time, so if you could make time move in reverse just to see what happens before the big bang, your relative time frame would keep stretching, and you'd never actually get there.

The question at the start is basically the biggest question in science, the universe is currently expanding but one theory is that eventually it will start shrinking again into a tiny space until another big bang happens and everything restarts, so theoretically there’s infinite big bangs spanning back forever

[@temerodiavolo470]

i like that tons of people confuse the snowball earth for the ice age at the start of the video

[@Dxs4all]

Tot be fair, the earth had had multiple ice ages. We're actually still in one now. An ice age is defined by the presence of ice at the poles. Currently we are in what is called an interglacial period, that's where the ice has receded to just the poles.

[@kayzeaza]

My theory is that people think that during “the” ice age the entire earth was covered in ice

[@twylanaythias]

Even in fairly recent history, humans have evolved considerably. 10,000 years ago (which is indeed fairly recent on an evolutionary time scale) most humans were just over four feet tall, with women and med generally the same height and our skeletons were much more similar. With the introduction of agriculture and animal husbandry, we began to gradually mature faster and grown larger. Those with increasing mental capacity (bigger brains) became more successful and gradually dominated, while women with wider hips had an easier time with childbirth and passed this trait on to their daughters. Taller men with more upper-body strength and 'tunnel vision' were more successful in hunting and combat; women with more lower-body strength and better at multitasking were more successful at child-rearing and social nuance. Men's spatial cognition and ability to track movement made them better hunters; women's enhanced color perception and sense of smell made them better foragers. You can see evidence of this throughout the world. In western societies, with access to better food and medical care, women are generally around 5'7" and men are generally over 6' tall; in eastern societies, with lesser access to food and medical care, men and women are both generally shorter than 5'5". (As of around 1800; things have improved considerably in the past two centuries but you can still see this influence; South Koreans are typically a few inches taller than North Koreans, etc.) Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis, our ancestor from roughly 3.1 million years ago) was roughly around 3'6" tall - we only gained half a foot in height over 3 million years, then gained nearly two feet in height in the next 10,000 years.

Most people would say believing in a higher power/entity in a non-religious way would be agnostic. Some people call it cop-out atheism, and that's fine too. Basically, if there's no god, you win the "I told you so" contest and if there is a god, you still win.

This video (that you watched) isn't what I expected after the last one but it was easy to get into. It did move quickly! I anticipated another space-oriented video after the last one but I appreciate how the person who put this together was able to concisely capture all of the information presented; it's also cool to have a better idea of some parts of human history I didn't know (especially India, I feel like I didn't learn a whole lot about them in school?). I found your point about humans adapting the environment around them to be a really interesting one! I wonder if being able to process more complex information has had us evolve the environment instead of waiting for evolution to take place naturally/on its own? For instance, cheetahs aren't out there trying to build empires or invent rockets that go to space so I'd imagine their adaptation to environment tends to be on a more gradual scale than ours. I also wanted to comment briefly about you mentioning wars over religion: as I've gotten older, I've begun to hold the view that wars like that are usually about more than religion. Some reasons could include acquiring resources or even a desire for power (some folks seem to be especially into that); these aren't the only two reasons but it's what my mind can recall off the cuff. A lot of what I was taught about history growing up now feels like a righteous but not wholly honest telling of the world. An instance of that (which isn't religious but blew me away when I learned it) was about the use of m*thamphetamines in the Second World War. Politics aside, I didn't know it had been around that long or used militarily like that. I had a similar experience reading Viktor Frankl's book about that time (Man's Search for Meaning) and having to admit a portion of the victims adapted to the circumstances by becoming cruel themselves. I get it's not a pleasant truth but I felt more at peace with it, even though it was initially surprising. This hasn't diminished the positive in humanity for me; it's painted a picture I think is more honest for admitting the reality of the dark side with the same validity as I do for the light. (But I'm the sort of person who prefers the truth to a comforting lie - the latter has tended to make me feel dissatisfied rather than comforted.) ... All this to say that I think sometimes the topic of religion may have overshadowed a few of the other central issues at play in various historical wars. Anyway, thanks for another fun video!

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

About the Big Bang: it's not so much that a "bang" started the universe, but that "the universe" including all of space and time as well as matter and energy, used to exist as a tiny point, and then it started getting bigger. The reason it did this is not known, but there's no reason to assume there was an outside force or cause. It's just what the universe appears to have done.

[@genericsidecharacter8915]

Basically, different genes and mutations create variations in different parts that are slightly better for surviving than others. Slowly these genes become the norm as they get passed down. And this keeps happening until all of the mutations keep changing a certain part of the body to the point where it becomes an entire organ. And some mutations might have bigger changes than others.

[@pringle9279]

If you want to learn more about evolution, I'd recommend the youtuber Forrest Valkai, might be some interesting reactions there!

[@TheMarrification]

From chance mutations, lungs developed in some fish, and for those living in shallow water it was an advantage as they could then breathe air if the water was too low or they needed to move to a different pool. Gradually they spent more and more time out of the water. The mutations happen first, and then if they're handy, the creature finds new uses for them and those mutations get more pronounced. It's like today, you still have Lung Fish, who are in that transitional stage.

[@ShAdoWj1995]

That's the misconception. Evolution doesn't choose anything. Evolution evolves in every direction. Minor changes over time that add up to big changes. And only the adaptations that work survive

[@Hidet0shialt]

About the fish that got onto land (tiktaakik), the evolution does not work with an intention. Rather, the adaptations needed for land evolved under other pressures, like the presence of legs, which primarily probably evolved as a response to the need of proper locomotion in shallow/planted aquatic habitats. The way it works is, in resume, fish that has those muscular stumps can move better and catch more prey than others in it's environment, fish with neck can turn the head and catch more prey too, so these characteristics have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. Turns out that these characteristics are also advantageous for walking in land, and fish that managed to do that had access to more resources (bugs), thus being more likely to reproduce, and pass on. During this time, many mutations occur, but only the favorable ones were allowed to survive, reproduce, and fossilize. Ofc it's more complex than that but this is a KZbin comment so I recommend giving a deeper look into how it works sometime, if you got interest.. Also, the fun part is that we predicted where Tiktaakik would be, based on other fossils, and found it exactly where it was calculated. We got some real precise shit on evolution nowadays xD

[@honeybunnyhanni1931]

5:50 the theory of evolution is that groups of animals developed certain beneficial mutations which helped them to survive. Imagine, there was one species looking for food. Some of them were actively hunting while others decided that it's easier to take away someone else's prey. Over time they'd start drifting apart because they found their niche and adapted to become dominant in that niche. The one group would start showing signs of increased speed and durability while the others become bulkier with stronger jaws to break bones. And millions of years later you find animals that resemble wolves and hyenas (not actual biology in that last sentence). You might want to react to the TierZoo channel, they explain evolution as if it was some sort of MMORPG game

[@FormalFrog2748]

Damn I can't believe Hashirama did that to Japan, maybe Madara was right

[@Flovv_me]

5:48 our body’s don’t need to adapt to anything because there’s nothing we need to adapt to. let me put it in a context, if the moon moved too close, water would flood the planet requiring us to swim, as we swim more and more our bodies would find a way of making it easier by adding fins to let us swim faster

ice age was later (~2 million years ago) snow ball earth was before the Cambrian explosion (650 million years ago) the meteorite that killed the dinosaur and the moon are also million years apart (the moon formed 4.51 billion years ago) non-avian* dinosaur died (approximately 66 million years ago)(*avian means bird so all birds are dinosaur) a decently popular theory is the big crunch as origin/ end. meaning that the big bang was a restart point and before the big bang their was just another universe and at the end everything will collide/ implode than explode in a new big bang making time a Cyclic thing.

[@MrMentholSlim]

at around 5:30, humans have only been around for about 1 million years (according to fossile records) and we are pretty well adapted physically, our hands are a huge advantage as they are more mobile then other animals, as are our shoulders, which allows us to throw farther then any other animal, we also have the best physical endurance, most animals are stronger and faster, but we can run further distances and lift heavy objects for longer periods of time. in addition to our advance social structures and intelligence.

The universe began, scientists believe, with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe. Astrophysicists dubbed this titanic explosion the Big Bang.

[@repghost9481]

you can see the cogs turning in don head😂

[@Necrobadger]

5:30 Fish species with larger fins than others happens to find food source on land but close to water, gives it an advantage over fish with smaller fins. Since it requires being in open air, fish of that species with mutations that make them SLIGHTLY able to absorb oxygen from air just like from water (Absorbing oxygen from air is actually VERY similar to absorbing it from water, in the grand scheme of things, thought it's a bit harder to go the other way around, hence whales still needing air ages after going back into the ocean) are more likely to survive, and that trait slowly grows stronger, and the organs responsible slowly begin to change. Over time, their eggs begin to change as well, adapting to shallower and shallower water, until they don't need external water to survive. Fins get more and more adapted to land, gills slowly become proto-lungs, then lungs, scales change function, eyes adapt to different wavelengths of light, and they find ANOTHER adaptation more likely to make them survive. Life is a constant arms race, the only rule is procreate more than you die.

[@Necrobadger]

Also, humans have adapted a lot physically in the past centuries, comparatively. It's just that a lot of the catalysts that caused those changes are uh.....very hard to talk about, considering they involved groups of people and their relatives. One big one is America from 1776 to 1865.

[@simonsmasher1771]

4:40 Humans have evolved super rapidly physically just like those fish long ago, it's just impossible to tell because our civilization is currently going on like 12,000 years (only 2000 on our calendar), and that level of evolution takes place over millions of years. So we are constantly evolving, it's just so incredibly slow that it seems like we aren't.

[@camerontredway5294]

13:23 so people killed each other over religion because governments (and society) used it as a way to become homogenous.

[@Thor_the_chad]

11:52 bro said nice to slavery🗿

[@grantarmstrong2968]

5:15 this a really good question, and the answer really lies in the fact that genetic adaptation is something that takes millions of years to produce significant results. The only exceptions are instances with extremely high selective pressures, but since humans as a species thrive in most environments, genetics play a much smaller role in our individual survival compared to our education, lifestyle, and experiences.

[@anotheremptiness4316]

0:37 yeahh that's the mindbending thing about trying to conceive of a time before time. string theory seeks to explain it, but we haven't been able to reconcile string theory with what we know about our universe. the explanation i usually land on is just that the notion of "causality" is actual part of our universe. whether there was just a different universe before the big bang, or an incomprehensible void, it's safe to say that natural laws like causality simply didn't exist then; nothing caused the big bang because there was no such thing as "cause and effect" back then. even calling it "back then" as though it existed in time is probably wrong, we just don't have the language to talk about it

[@AedanODonnell]

the leading theory for the big bang explosion is that at a certain point in time, all of the matter in the universe was packed into a space smaller than an an - day marble. Then, all of this suddenly pushed outwards, creating the universe

[@klankbot]

0:32 In response to your question. Most scientists don't actually know what caused the big bang. Moreover because the big bang isn't really the "start" of the universe so to say. The Big Bang is moreover just the earliest point in time that scientists can speculate the rules of our universe existing in the state that it exists as it does now, if that makes any sense. That is also to imply that there is a time where the universe existed before the big bang, but it's impossible to even begin accurately speculating what that existence was like, how long it lasted for, what it would mean, or anything else regarding it. Keep in mind that this is also widely (and "enthusiastically") debated about, even among the scientists that would be considered to know the most in this subject, so take my explanation with a grain of salt.

[@michalkuban9888]

13:23 Even weirder is that Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in the same god (Allah just means god, point is there is only one, not multiple weird ones). Quran even acknowledges Christ as the previous prophet. Problem is that religion can be an amazing weapon to use people by the power hungry. There are also people with extremist tendencies (not just religious ones) in any group. Radical group's biggest enemy is a very similar radical group with slightly different opinion.

[@KyrialArthian]

5:12 Keep in mind that humans have not been around for very long, geologically speaking. All this stuff was happening over MILLIONS of years. I think there's a common comparison made saying something like if you condensed the entire history of Earth into one day, humans wouldn't even show up until literally the last second of that day. Hell, if you condensed human history itself into one day, the 2023 years of "AD" would only be the last 14 minutes of that day. Really puts things into perspective.

[@methos4866]

[@Dornick_]

21:40 did my man just say "the hashirama bomb"

[@lunamusic4923]

so basically for lungs like the ones we have form fish needed to hold their "breath" to go and eat higher nutrient foods on land or to avoid predators. so the more generations that survived like that started growing water sacks to store extra water to keep around the gills and over time those sacks started to also be able to take oxygen as a gas instead of a liquid.

[@aquashuriken1634]

In the Eoarchean, the period after the Hadean, life was believed to start around there, being Unicellular and mostly Prokaryotic.
