- Discover the evolutionary purpose of nails, and explore the theories of why they evolved from claws over 55 million years ago.
--
Consider the claw. Frequently found on animals around the world, it’s one of nature’s most versatile tools. Bears use claws for digging as well as defense. An eagle’s needle-like talons can pierce the skulls of their prey. Even the ancestors of primates used to wield these impressive appendages, until their claws evolved into nails. So what caused this adaptation? Matthew Borths investigates.

Imagine having huge ears like an elephant then hearing with your toe nails.
That size is for thermoregulation. not hearing
@@RoScFan R/whoosh
The elephants ears are big helping them to comunicate at long distances
Omggg I laughed out so loud.....
One word

“Animals with nails on the other hand”
2:18 I see what you did there Ted-Ed
Hiding poison in honey ...
MrFatilo yes we are big walking plants from fairy land
Takafi Elias
How in the world is that poison?
Getnoob And sub to pewdpie
I don’t understand why it is called propaganda if most people who are specialists in those areas agree that this is true. If we are not animals, then what are we? Lego people?
MrFatilo huh
I love tha fact that the script incorporates puns more often than not.
It's an indication that the people are having fun at work.
@@fayyaz5785
Well... I'm a 'glass half full' kind of guy.
@@GajanaNigade That glass is half-full of air molecules.
@@indigofenrir7236
Mmmm... Air. Yummm...
Puns are also funny and if you weren't paying attention before, you do when a pun is told. It breaks up the mono-ness of a flat, straight to the point, sentence and makes it just a little bit more interesting.
Gajanan Nigade and I’m an “it’s matter” type of guy
"Nails and claws are the same."
*looking at some nails art trend these days*
.
Weeeeell, that make a sense.
I have claws on my pinky toes
@@zyaicob what
@@hzzx0739 well, we kinda do
TH-cam users admit to having claws on their feet.
That punch line at the end though 😂 4:50
Nailed it
"scratched the surface"
Golden nail 😂😂
You laughed at that?
its called a pun and sometimes it's painful

Undderated comment
Kristi A. Teguh true
I wish I had such animations and narrations in my school
*Great Going TedEd*
#TeamTrees
Thanks TedEd for a heart!!!!
So true
@The Flaneur lmfao
They nailed it!
Spot on Ted Ed even put nail pun at the end, spot on
One could say, they nailed it
Yeah, spot on! One might even say that they... nailed it.
"I nailed it!"
~Naily, BFB, multiple occasions
You could say they NAILed it.
They scratched that off their bucket list
Love it when puns aren't announced. I roll my eyes whenever I hear "pun intended."
2019: nails are evolving to become claws again
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me imagine touch screens.
How retro of them!
That's not how evolution works. Evolution doesn't have a target that it aims for. A variety of traits presents in a given generation and those traits which do not hinder the possessor from reproduction get passed on. It's a very important distinction.
@@roguishpaladin Hey, I don’t think you got that. It was a joke.
And that’s called an r/wooooosh
The cells grow out from the matrix, Mr. Anderson.
Alfonso J. Ramos yup
this is extra funny because the narrator really is mr.anderson
When I was a child I used to clip my nails into the shape of claw and pretend I was any clawed creature whilst scratching my other siblings
OML i gotta try that on my sis -muahahahah-
@@emza8964 hahaha do it. 😈
That’s tight
I still do it and I must say it even has some useful applications.
Im gonna assume you are a girl because something like that is too complicated of a plan to annoy siblings as a boy
Also long nails look kinda weird idk
Okay, just finished the video, you guys have done a fantastic job! What a lesson. I'd usually say " I wish this was presented at school" but instead I'll say: Thank you so much for taking the time to create this. I've always wondered why do we have nails and now I've been given an answer!
Very well done, incredibly well animated, narrated and loads of actually useful information. Bravo!
Pretty handy that we evolved these dandy tree grabbers. They help me get a handle on a situation when I'm in a pinch.
scratched the surface
nail down
why we itch
lul i love this channel
Nails on the other hand!
Animals with nails on the other hand!
Anyone else took a look at their nails 😂
I had to go google if monkeys have fingernails. I know it says so, but it wasn't *super* clear...
Oh god my nails are long. If I was a girl that’d be fine, but I’m a guy and my grandma freaks out seeing them
@@sirrivet9557 Wear your long nails with pride! Nice nails are for everyone!
😂
No
Advantages of Nails:
Can always win a match of rock paper and scissors with claw bearing animals.
I saw that pun, well it's fine being a claw *bear*ing animal
When you drop some acid with your homies 4:46
10/10
Nails are also useful for cleaning, not only can they scratch skin without doing to much damage but they can also remove dirt or biomass from tools primates use.
“Welcome to the Keratin Matrix.” -Morpheus
1:24
Clear, Simple & Vastly informative!
Creativity overload! From the animation to the narration.
Love it
We may have lost them but we created a better version, the pointy or sharp rock, sharp and pointy rock, and the refined rock (metal, for knives)
3:49 that is what happens when you get false nails at the salon
I always wondered if (even if they’re not claws anymore) nails have the capacity to truly hurt or mangle tissue, like, in self defense, can you actually make a deep wound just by scratching someone with your nails? Specially if you keep them long and well.
Yes
This is a really a good and thought-provoking lesson in claws and nails.
I guess you could say Ted-Ed really...
*Nailed it*?

Humans were to op when they started throwing things so devs removed claws to nerf them a Little
Little did they know it would backfire
Paweł Andonis Gawralidis Dobrzański herbu Leliwa. u here from tierzoo?

Can they remove our little toe and finger ? No more hitting a furniture on the toe !
Tierzoo
BRILLIANT animation! Just gorgeous - goes beautifully with the great text and the narration! That was truly a gem! 💎
Bright too.
"We've only scratched the surface of all the incredible ways nails and claws are used throughout the animal kingdom, but as for which of these adaptations is better, that's an answer we may never nail down."
How many puns can they put in a sentence?
2 as you can see
Beautiful animation and interesting video, Teded never let's me down 👏👏👏
You nailed it! Great job!
Another Great video, thanks Ted - Ed!

Man, the pun delivery is good. I'd say you guys nailed it.
Very creative video. Can you guys do a video of what goes behind the scenes to make such excellent videos?

Good as always!
Such a cute animation, but still visually helpful where it counts :)

You Nailed it Ted-Ed
Question: do Nails have layers?
I asked this beacuse when i was playing a guitar, a part of my nail was folded, but not the whole thing.
Mico Lim i’ve has that before. i think so. gotta check google.
Ok
Theyre like ogres or onions. They have layers
Connor Simmonds ogres?😂
They do.
You nailed all the puns. Congrats brother
TED-Ed just *nailed* with this video.
Another cool and fun thing evolution took from us
Ted-Ed did a really good job animating this...
Wow i always wondered the starting point of nail on the fingers. Thx teacher
Awesome and informative video
You guys nailed it
Every night before I go to sleep, I would watch a few TED Ed videos. When I eventually go to sleep, my dreams are often would like the graphics you’d see in the videos 😌
My dreams look like borderlands graphics
It just feels so nice to hear these nail puns.. It's fun and creative .,❤️💫
I was clipping my nails when this showed up in my recommendations. Impeccable timing
Good work
You really *nailed* the puns on this one.
4:51 Nailed it!
WOW this really cut deep in my life
those animations are really good
Great video! You nailed it!
Stop, just stop...🤣😂
There's something hilarious about the way the ape moves and acts
Do hair vs fur next. I always wondered if our hair evolved from underfur or guard hairs.
I just love this old school animation.
aww Ted you nailed it again!💅🏻
"scratched the surface" nailed it!
They nailed this animation! 👌
Admit it, you were checking your hands at least once in this video. Btw, thanks for another great animation Ted Ed!
Please do a video one what exactly is a protein and what are the different kinds?
i love the voice of this narrator so soothing
Yeah you’re weird.
This videos sheds a light on how my wife reacquired claws when she got back from the nail salon.
Love how this video ended around the campfire ☺️
you really ... NAILED that last joke there
THE ANIMATOR DESERVES A NOBEL PRIZE ❤️
I think those are Oscars for short animation.
Good job, Ted-Ed, i loved the pun at the end! And never have i known, that, our ancestors actually had claws! And Manatees actually have nails?
3:38 that walk though.

This artstyle is so pretty!

Nailed it!
Love the animation
thank you
Man, animals have better manicures than I could ever have
"We've only _scratched_ the surface"
I see what you've done there. ;)
OMG! I was just thinking about this!
i like how they sat in front of a fire and ate the food they acquired. pretty nice ted ed.
Right when they said scratching your head, I literally scratched my head at the exact same time 😅
They are also useful for protecting our fingers from being decapitated by mouse trap pranks
TED-Ed nailed it

I feel called out by that opening quote
3:38 I see what y'all did there lol
I was extra excited about that Zoboomafoo.
