Great video!👍 Ever considered looking into evidence for evolution in Plants, and more specifically Plants capable of Cross Pollinating and Grafting? The logic behind using Cross Pollinating & Grafting Compatibility as evidence for Common Ancestry works in the exact same way as the logic behind using Sexual Compatibility and Hybridization as evidence for Common Ancestry. It is a well known botanical fact that only closely related Plants can Pollinate and Graft successfully. The more closely related two or more species of Plants are to each other is the more likely they'll compatible,... and the further you go Phylogenetically speaking, the least likely they'll be compatible [4,5]. Crossing and Grafting success would vary among different groups of Plants (in the same way hybridization would), but the rule still holds that only closely related Plants can successfully Cross and or Graft and they're no known exceptions to this. Thus, the ability of two or more Species to successfully Hybridize, Pollinate, or Graft is indisputable evidence of their common heritage, regardless of any apparent differences between them. This information was originally intended to tackle Creationists arguments on evidence for Evolution, but they still serve the same purpose of demonstrating the reality Macroevolution. I think there's plenty strong evidence for common ancestry in Plants that many are either unfamiliar with, or not interested in, but nevertheless I think it was worth while sharing this. Thanks again for taking the time to read this. - Call Me Emo ------------------------------------------------ References: 1) Plant Baraminology (Kinds) and Grafting Compatibility; Call Me Emo, 2020: [citations within link] m.imgur.com/a/OqFnplf 2) Cross Pollination within well known Plant groups; Call Me Emo, 2020: [citations within link] m.imgur.com/a/jWPGgGR 3) The Extraordinary Evolution of Brassica and the emergence of Phyllotaxis in Romanesco Broccoli (Brassicaceae Kind); Call Me Emo, 2020: [citations within link] m.imgur.com/a/Ad30Zfz 4) Propagation of Plants by Grafting and Budding; G.N.M.
