Rosetta Stone of Bird Brain Evolution |

[@miguelisaurusbruh1158]

I will be forever grateful of the people who advance human knowledge, and hope to one day become one of them

[@impendio]

Especially in a world where truth no longer matters for most people…

[@red..ridding..h00d]

@@impendioit’s so upsetting. I feel like most people on the internet are optionally ignorant :( science is so cool and there’s so much to learn

[@pedrovogeley]

Incrível! Parabéns a todos os pesquisadores envolvidos, mas principalmente os brasileiros! 👏🏼👏🏼

Perhaps the oddly large balancing organs follows a similar pattern that is observed in human evolution: While our brains were evolving advanced levels of cognition our brain cases become absolutely huge compared to modern brains, but once our brains reached an effective cognitive complexity our brains started becoming smaller but more efficient. This reduced energy costs while keeping us just as smart. Perhaps the balancing organs in birds underwent a similar trajectory, where they got big to find the perfect right shape and then fine tuned the design to be smaller but just as effective. Interesting find! Well done in your work :)

[@danielsykes7558]

Love this. Not sure Rosetta Stone is quite the right analogy, but very good work

[@danielsykes7558]

But it did get me to click

[@necroseus]

Yeah, the unfortunate reality of science communication is that it needs to be as accurate as possible while also being as accessible as possible. A difficult balancing act for certain Giving people the right general idea about a topic by utilizing recognizable symbols and simplification is more important than being perfectly accurate but not capturing the attention of enough people to make a difference Such is life, I guess

[@tpower1912]

I really see absolutely zero relationship to the Rosetta Stone at all

[@RussTillling]

Fascinating thank you!

[@rolfw2336]

Amazing research, loved the 3-D reconstruction.

This, please!

Maybe instead of thinking about flight manouvres, it was like living gyroscope that was always the right way up. Like floating vs swimming.

a reminder that we know but a fraction of a fraction of the world around us.

[@SilentSalad]

I wonder if the large balance organ could be directly related to the fact they they were "Early" flyers, 3D movements would have required rapid evolution in order to not get confused about where the ground was. We might notice a similar growth, re-shaping, and re-miniaturization of flight related organs in other early adopters of flight, like bats or the first lineages of pterodactyls. Either way, fascinating discoveries, thank you for sharing on YT.

Thank you for this interesting video.

[@ranjanjoshi3454]

Excellent insightful

[@penguinista]

They know it was an early bird because it was fossilized with a worm in its mouth.

[@DefinitelyA_Person]

No???

Wooow, it was found here in Brazil. É noiss kkkk

How do you know that the single fossil doesn't have abnormal or atypical features?

[@TheRaptorsClaw]

We don't, but on the balance of probabilities, it's much more likely a fossil represents a typical feature than an atypical feature.

[@estrogencow9885]

Bilateral symmetry, this is (somewhat) consistent in vertebrates

[@guiltystress509]

@@TheRaptorsClaw this, but also the more fossils we find help us either cement that conclusion we had or disprove it. happens all the time in paleontology. Being wrong is what drives science forward, that's why a disprovable hypothesis isn't a useful hypothesis

I don’t know why they felt the need to diss evolution in the title

[@AgroAcro]

They didn't?

[@the_grand_tourer]

Isn't 'bird brain' evolution an oxymoron ?

[@estrogencow9885]

Haha funny joke. But on a real note, surprisingly no! Some birds show neural striations like mammals.

[@crow-dont-know]

Also on a serious note, evolution isn’t directional - favouring bigger/more powerful brains comes at a cost (they require a lot of calories), so if an animal can fit a niche well without having much use for brain power, it would be at an advantage to have a smaller/less powerful brain.

[@Robert-pg2id]

Adaptation or evolution? I think adaptation is more likely, and it shows the superiority of a design, to change and adapt to new conditions. Evolution requires chemical changes, and is not mathematically and statistically possible considering all the variables that would have to be in place at just the right time, in the right location, and at the right temperature/climate to support, and then protect the changes.

[@tonysims1560]

Evolution of course!

[@Carlos-bz5oo]

Oh look, a creationist idiot. Thought those died off

[@christopherholder9925]

You appear to have an inaccurate understanding of evolution. Firstly, how exactly do you define adaptation and how does it differ from evolution. Secondly, you will need to provide some level of confirming evidence for your comment about mathematical and statistical improbability to be accepted.

[@The-KP]

🤦 The ramblings of an undereducated christofascist who desperately is trying to justify Genesis 1 as literal reality, and Earth as 6K years old 🤦‍♀️. Both a god and evolution coexisting is possible, but only one is proof positive: evolution. Your invisible friend has yet to step up and say hello.

[@silverschmid4591]

adaptation on a biological level, is evolution. that's the principle, and given billions of years, enough changes can accumulate that you end up with something unrecognizable. it's pretty much a coin flip wether or not a mutation is beneficial, not nearly that unlikely. and they don't need to be protected, but to prove themselves. "intelligent design" has all the proof against it, and it's only still believed because of dogma. though you have the means to find that out yourself. and don't seem to know much, at the moment.
