Matter of fact some of us would be lesser life forms diluting the "superior species" justifying Hitlers atrocities because if their is no God, there is no moral law. If there is no moral law, right and wrong is relative. So what they did would have been right in their own eyes. But it wasn't it was wrong. Evolution is built on a foundation of Death and lies. Seeing 2021 unfold you would think more people would be turning towards God and lots are. They have plenty of time to learn the truth wile they sit on their butts not working. But lots are willfully ignorant or chose to look for ideas suggesting that God isn't real because if would affect their life style and sexual mores.

It's also completely false. Most diggers aren't great swimmers - armadillos *can* swim, but only very short distances by gulping air to inflate its intestines to counter the weight of its bony plates. To call that a great swimmer is reaching. Most similarly sized animals do better, don't they? Armadillos also prefer to crawl underwater. Animals develop or lose the ability to swim depending on how useful it is or whether other abilities it has to give up for it are more useful, it seems. Naked mole-rats that live in dry chalky soil drown when thrown into water, whereas basalt-dwelling animals of the same species (sic!) living only a few meters, up to a few hundred meters away (sic!) away can swim. There's little to support the hypothesis that “good diggers are also good swimmers”.

Depending on which method, turtles have been found either related more to lepidosaurs or archosaurs ,though more evidence leans towards archosaurs though turtles morphology matches more with lepidosaurs and some parareptiles (which could be a paraphyletic grouping, with some like mesosaurs and bolosaurs being basal sauropsids, and others pareiaosaurs being diapsids closely related to turtles)

Great vid again, thanx! The evolution of the turtle is by far the most intriguing and complicated gap=filled puzzle in all species evolution I think. One just has to witness the complexity of the species in real life, and its mind starts boggling right away!

My call is that the whole beak and shell thing actually evolved multiple times. The ribs actually make more sense to me as terrestrial defense too- we've got lizards that will wedge themselves in rock and puff up so you can't get them, and salamanders (yes unrelated but convergence) that poke their own ribs out at you. That said, evolution is far from linear. The turtles we've got may just be the ones that survived extinction. I'd also think that tortoises will be their own thing that split off way earlier than we thought. Loggerheads I'm a lil more unsure about.

Awesome video as always. I would love to see a video on birds from the period just before to just after the kpg extinction event (couple of mya). I am very interested in what types there were before, why certain groups made it and how they radiated after the extinction. I know there are videos on this subject more focussing on certain species or families etc, but I would love to see sort of an overview.
