[@CandiceGoddard]

It's great that you can mock the very thing that makes this video unwatchable. Why state unproven and unprovable theories that have absolutely no evidence as facts? Uniformitarianism is an absolute joke especially when we now know that the speed at which the earth rotates on its axis has changed significantly over "time" and even a large earthquake can alter this (I'm not implying that earthquakes dramatically alter the passage of time, so no one reading this can use what I've written as an excuse for insane theories). When the concept of time is just human perception, how can we know that anything happened 15 million years ago, if there's no way to prove that geological processes are stable because no one can observe them according to the 'scientific method'? Humans can only live 120 years according to how we measure 'time' so nothing we observe is representative of the scales we're talking about. It's actually worse than if a doctor observed a patient for 1 second and then claimed to know their entire condition because the scale of 1 second to a human life is more representative than the entire span of a human life to the geological timescales. My point is, don't teach people theories as if they are facts. It's very easy to say, 'To the best of our knowledge', 'it is theorised', 'as of 2024 'scientists' believe' and so on before statements on impossible to prove concepts.

[@jacksonhamilton6302]

If a species evolves as opposed to going extinct, is it truly a failure and did it really go extinct? I mean, Australopithecus Afarensis is extinct but it also has living descendants. I feel that this view of species success is myopic. Species don't fail after fifteen million years, they succeed if they produce descendants.

[@taproot0619]

I second this. In order for a species to survive to 15 Million years unchanged, that means they have to he in an environment that remains unchanged for that entire time, AND that genetic drift is so miniscule that you could reasonably consider two specimens separated by millions of years to be the same species (which depending on your definition means they would need to be able to interbreed) both of which just sounds ridiculous on its face. If a species is successful enough to diversify and continue to have a successful body plan/lineage, I say it gets a pass. Trilobites would definitely fit this description if 15 million years is the milestone we're looking for.

[@scientistx5717]

In my opinion true failiure is if there is no descendant species that emerged from said species before it gone extinct I mean homo erectus is extinct and it co existed with us for some time befire getting zeroed but I would say it succeded in the end just got outdone by its own children Wouldn't it be greatest succes of a psrent if its surpassed by their own children its genetic legacy still lives on in homo sapiens altered as it may be

Strange way to act surprised about this. A species on average lasts 1 million years. After 15 million years a species has either evolved into 100 new ones or died out.

What is the basis for that 1my?

[@eljanrimsa5843]

@Dr.Ian-Plect It's a ballpark number roughly observable both with the fossil record and with genetic distance. E.g. if the genetic distance between populations is more than a million year people tend to split up the species, as happened with the giraffe since 2016. Species is a man-made concept after all, so somebody will have to draw the line somewhere.

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

@@eljanrimsa5843 I don't think you took that basis from the literature, just smokescreen wording.

[@ewfse364u35jh]

There is no basis for that 1mil as it is made up. There is an article about what this video is about, but their definition of what is defined as species is wildly different from what is now considered as species. The video is giving disservice as it is not defining what are species and that should have been an entry chapter. To make it as an example Homo Neanderthals are not regarded as different species to us, but as a subspecies, as they can't be classified as distinct species, where distinction of species has to start from 1% DNA difference amonmg other things like dietarry and behaviour differences. And while Homo sapiens sapiens are indeed only 300 000 years old, it is just one of the subgroups of Homo Sapiens species, that includes 800 000 years old Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, so this whole salad should be consumed with caution, that it will change in future, not to mention that there is an ongoing discussion in regards to classification of dinos, as we can 't get hold on their DNA, but there are signs that a lot of those species are probably just subspecies or even belonging to the same species, that has natural variability in size, so this whole video is outdated already and the same guy will make a different video with updated changes, but as long as Alphabet is paying for ads on content all is good.

Paleontologist and Zoologists routinely equivocate when they use the word 'species'. If we go by the strictest definition of "A biological species is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another in nature and produce fertile offspring" then I would argue 'humans' have been around at least since Homo neanderthalensis (about 800,000 years ago) or possibly even Homo habilis (1 and a half million years ago).

Factually its impossible to truly know all the extinct species that existed on Earth because fossilization is a rare phenomenon thats only naturally occurs under certain environmental conditions, also the species needs to have body parts that are able to be fossilized. On top of that the Earth is a geologically active planet, so we are physically unable to unearth all the possible fossils that exist or have existed due to being inaccessible. As you have stated, we only know 1% of all extinct species that have existed, and even there we lack crucial info about those species, with only rare finds that give us more insights beyond just bones.

[@infinitemonkey917]

True, but it would be even sadder if there were no plate tectonics.

[@MarengiOmnisystems]

It's staggering that we've discovered as many as we have. How many species do you think the other animals got to know? 30, 50? Maybe 250 for a particularly cosmopolitan animal (or another hominid)? But that's a drop in the bucket next to what humans see and know. Would you think whales or giraffes or Pando were real and out there if you hadn't seen books, photos and videos about them? If I'd never seen them myself, and they were just stories passed around orally, I know I'd doubt at least some of them.

[@abdulazizrex]

11:14, that’s arguably a massive reason why species rarely survive for 15 million years, conditions hardly ever stay the same for that long. Heck for a genus to survive for 10 million years is a massive achievement.

[@gentronseven]

It's also why humans might survive longer because they're in every ecosystem and aren't specialists

[@bigedslobotomy]

One thing that you didn’t touch on was some of the species (or families) that go extinct, don’t actually disappear. They simply change and adapt. For example, birds are thought to have descended from a line of the dinosaurs (as they have many of the same characteristics). Also, humans carry a significant percentage of Neanderthal genes, so can we say that they are truly “extinct?” This still means that the individual species dies out, but the family line still lives on (although in a greatly changed form).

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

Your point has no validity. Birds evolving from dinosaurs is not a species living on, or a family. It is a lineage of species changing over time, one species to another. Contrary to you stating "some of the species (or families) that go extinct, don’t actually disappear", yes, they do. The passing on of genes is not a 'species living on'. Consider this, which ought to have you realising how misplaced your comment was. The changes between us and our immediate ancestor are far less than between non-avian and avian dinosaurs (the distinction is because birds are dinosaurs). Yet that ancestor is a different species, and we split off from it less than 1 mya, a time scale far less than the transition between the 2 dinosaur groups. The same applies at family level, it is still much too specific to allow it to span non-avian and avian dinosaurs. Neanderthals; yes, we interbred with them and still carry a genetic legacy specific to them. But that doesn't change the fact they are extinct. Extinction refers to the entire taxon, a taxon being a population of distinct organisms. Neanderthals as a population are gone, extinct.

Sorry to be that guy(i quite like your videos) but... actually, genetic diversity, at least with our current information, might not have been the cause of the demise of the last(known) population of woolly mammoths, in Wrangel Island; though it certainly could have been a factor, we just don't know as of now. That information that you cite probably comes from an article done on the genetic material from one single individual that possessed negative genetic mutations(such as a lighter colored mane, and hair that was bad at repelling snow, if im not misremembering it). It also showed that this population origined from as few as eight breeding individuals, and estimated that the island could support a population of about 300-400 individuals. This all mantained to be true but a later study with a larger population size reveiled that despite the low genetic diversity and subsequent negative genetic mutations the population grew rapidly and steadily and eventually weeded out most of the negative mutations and it became almost as genetically healthy as those in the mainland. I got this from a video i saw from Stefan Milo, where he talked with one of the researchers from this latter study. He talks mostly about ancient homminins, but go check him out if your interested on this topic. Otherwise greate video as always, i haven't seen anyone else aproach the topic directly, so thank you for that.

I feel like, this is an interesting idea, but it tautological based upon how we define species. Species(especially ones that we only have fossil/death records for) are defined by unique features and adaptations that come from niche specialization and genetic isolation. This makes the species at risk for extinction BUT if that species adapted for new specialization and had new adaptations(arguably 'surviving') we would define it as a new distinct species which would not count toward the original species. SO this method of defining species inherently means species always die and never survive changes that require adaptation because survival via adaptation is inherently precluded.

I believe it was an interview on Stefan Milos channel. I'm sure you know better, but that's what i took from that interview.

[@FreedomTalkMedia]

I think there is a difference between extinction with a dead end and extinction because your descendants evolved into something else. I suspect humanity will probably still be around in a million years but maybe our descendants will be different from us. Humanity is already several million years old. We've just had a number of model upgrades.

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

There may be a difference in that the one leading to a new species is the lineage continuing, but there's no difference in that the original species is extinct in both cases.

[@analystic3745]

700,000 years? nah shorter

nonsense

[@user-ci2fd8vc2f]

So if a nuclear weapon hits a country, does that mean human evolved? Random events != evolution.

[@statsguy1446]

That's like saying we evolved from monkeys.. No we as well as today's monkeys and primates evolved from one monkey like species and all our increasingly different ancestor species simply got extinct.

Let's just hope that the next "intelligent" life form to emerge on Earth is a lot smarter than the current, disappointingly stupid one!!

[@ber093]

The reason we make dumb mistakes is simply animal instinct. The new "intelligent" life form that would emerge would retain animal instincts, and the cycle would keep repeating. Take a look at the behavior of intelligent animals. There's no avoiding malice, unfortunately, and it's best to fix our current mistakes than to hope our future replacement is better than us

you forgot humanity's socio-self-destructive ideologies can cause extinction, too.

[@monkeking8394]

That's only for humans, atleast

[@PrimordialOracleOfManyWorlds]

@monkeking8394 i agree. my reply was hinting at that. especially at the low human fertility rate driven by neo-ideologies.

[@thatguychris5654]

I always had this uneasy feeling that globalization may have ruined humanity's genetic insurance against the constant change of the Earth.

I find the use of Triceratops in the thumbnail interesting since it didn't go extinct naturally.

[@digigalbytes2445]

What constitutes a "natural" extinction? Sure, an asteroid is an unusual primary trigger for a mass extinction, but the effects on the environment and therefore on species were pretty much the same as the fundamentals of the other mass extinctions.

[@irenafarm]

Major mass extinctions still count. Some species managed to survive into the Cenozoic.

[@KAZVorpal]

Hard to trust a video where they get this many things wrong. For example, those mammoths did not "make their way to" Wrangel Island, they were trapped there when sea levels rose. It was not paradise, it was a bad situation from the start. They actually began to suffer from island dwarfism long before the end, because the resources there were so limited.

[@firohot5476]

If species evolve into a new one, then it's not true extinction but evolution But if there are no direct descendents, then it's extinction in true sense

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

You missed another outcome.

[@ToeNibbler-ss1vv]

Good day, I hope my comment finds you well. If you have the time and don’t mind, I’d like to know what physical evidence was found to show that the mammoths on the island suffered from diabetes, a loss of smell, translucent hair, and infertility. Thanks for reading. Ps - As someone passionate about prehistoric life and evolution, I really appreciate what you do and how to explain things simply and clearly enough for regular people to understand. Your work is loved and cherished. Thank you for what you do.

[@kraftakuvtrash8832]

[@SpaceflightFusion]

Why did you change the thumbnail?

[@Tracing0029]

I do not see this as a problem, but a feature of evolution

[@Shizukuhinomorilover126]

I used to be a national geographic kid. (Was it the undiagnosed ADHD? Possibly.) When watching national geographic it would always be dubbed by David Attenborough. And if it wasn’t I couldn’t sit through it (an issue I found I still have after trying to watch some nature documentaries). But, after watching quite a few of your videos I would be quite content listening to you explain the depressing reality of our planet to my (smooth and likely small) brain. From a neurodivergent person this is a massive compliment, basically my way of saying I love your videos. Thanks for the great videos!

[@ScenicFlyer4]

Before watching past a minute and a half in, I wonder if this is because the species gets wiped out, or it just evolves into something else.

[@haraya_manawari]

18:04 wish you included their survival time

[@ml_serenity]

The extinction events were absolutely brutal. Sharks, Crocs, and turtles are obvious exceptions.

[@Raymondt81]

Where do you get your info on what dinosaur coexisted with each other. Can you recomment a website or book on that matter?

[@RealILOVEPIE]

Generally a larger gene pool makes the species more genetically adaptable.

[@1ns1ne]

Sharks are in the that 0.1% They truly escaped the matrix

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

No point made.
