      Your scientific theories have clouded what is clear to see that everything is by creation not from a Big bang theory scientific theory maybe you should define theory for yourself again.
      Nothing about evolution is observable testable or repeatable or apes monkeys and chimpanzees would still be evolving* into humans. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

    My mother died from Esophageal cancer last May. The first tumor they found was wrapped around a vocal chord which they had to remove. She was no longer able to speak. Unfortimunately the other tumor was farther down and had grown through the esophageal wall. It was inoperable because it would've caused severe damage to the esophagus. Well, she ended up with a tracheostomy and was no longer able to speak or eat. It was heartbreaking not to hear her voice again. A mother's words are always so comforting and sweet. I sure do miss hearing her. This really made me appreciate speech and how beautiful it is. Great video Justin.

    as an extreme vocalist, theres a LOT more the human voice can do than just talk or sing.
    the human throat has three or more structures that can be rattled in different ways for different voices or sounds. all are safe techniques that ive done for years.
    your "true vocal cords" are what you use for singing, or talking. these are delicate, protect them at all costs.
    "false cord" (the typical metal growl) is a technique done by exhaling, and loosely rattling the vestibular folds in the throat, which are the structures used for coughing. sometimes a note is sung underneath, sometimes not. .an example would be the song "moonspell, first light". the technique sounds like a monster.
    "fry scream" is a technique where the false cords are tightly shut together, and your true cords sing or shout a note through the very tight gap. producing a wet screeching hiss. an example of fry scream would be the song "in this moment, wh0re". (this one was the hardest to learn for me)
    inhales are done by closing the false cords tight, and sucking air through them forcefully. makes terrifying, unearthly noises lmao. (its almost never done in music tho.) sounds like a banshee. an example would be "anomia, omega centaurii"
    epiglottis vocals, an ancient norse technique, are done by rattling the epiglottis, the flap of flesh used for swallowing. feels weird, sounds weird, its used in the song "dethklok, murmaider" or "eivor, trollabundin."
    "kargyraa" is an ancient Mongolian throat singing technique, done by rattling the false cords, with the true cords, though i dont know exactly whats happening in the throat that differentiates it from basic false cord. "batzorig vaanchiig, chinggis khaani magtaal" shows many Mongolian techniques, including kargyraa. (which is the low rumbling sound. one of my favorites)
    and because these techniques do NOT use the delicate true cords, (except to provide a supporting note) they will not damage your singing voice, provided you dont push yourself too far, and rest up when tired. as with all singing.
    hope that was interesting, let me know if you also know how how to do these techniques, or any others im missing

    Very interesting. My son is non verbal autistic. He used to choke all the time from age 0-3 years. Probably due to a short SVT. Since then he has barely been choking. Now that he's about to turn 5 he is trying to talk. I know he can talk because he has when he was 1 years old. I've also heard of lots of non verbal kids starting to talk all of a sudden between the ages of 6-8. This is probably due to the vertical SVT getting longer. I know if my son does talk he will have a speech impediment, but after watching this video I have so much hope. All I want in life is to be able to have a 2 way conversation with my son. Thank you for this video.

      My son is autistic and was non verbal as well. He turned 6 last November and his speech has improved DRASTICALLY. He says everything and really communicates with us well. He still has a ways to go. But he is talking questions answers expressing his emotions. Just saying all this to say keep pushing. It is like a crazy kick in all of a sudden. Just keep a book in front of them and he will blossom 😊

I did take some pretty hard hits to the dome though. I was dropped on a linoleum floor when I was an infant. And when I was a toddler I ran up the stairs and ran straight into a closet door and split my forehead (I still have the scar lol)

    This, as all of your videos, is fascinating. I have a history of thyroid cancer, including a malignant tumor that was wrapped around one of the vocal cords so tightly that it permanently pinched it off so I now have no 'high pitch' The third/last surgery was in 1982 when a total thyroidectomy was done & concerns that damage was done to the remaining vocal cord, potentially leaving me permanently mute. Spoiler... I CAN still talk but I have a deeper voice, not gravely but I was told a 'very distinct' & memorable voice. Oh & yes, I have been thyroid cancer-free since 1982.

    About the the remark about risk of choking: what is said in the video does not touch on the most important aspect.
    Vertebrates have inherited from the common ancestor the body plan where the trachea is at the front of the neck, and the esophagus is _deeper inside_ the neck. It is also inherited from the common ancestor that the mouth, with the teeth, is located _below_ the nose.
    Now imagine a body plan where the _breathing_ passageway and the _swallowing_ passageway are anatomically _separate_ .
    One way to have that separation is to have the nose _below_ the mouth. Then the air for breathing passes directly from the nose to the trachea, and the food in the mouth passes directly into the esophagus.
    While the position of the larynx may make some difference, the actual reason for the choking risk is that there is a _crossing_ of the passageways. Food in the mouth, when chewed, must be moved to the esophagus. Air must have a passage from the nose to the trachea. Those two paths cross each other.
    All vertebrates with the common nose-mouth-trachea-esophagus body plan can breathe while they are _chewing_ , with minimal choking risk. In different animals the breathing-while-chewing ability may be achieved differently, but it is achieved.
    What is anatomically impossible, for _any_ vertebrate with the common nose-mouth-trachea-esophagus body plan, is simultaneous _swallowing_ and breathing. That is anatomically impossible because the two passageways are _crossing each other_ .
    People are always focussing on the position of the larynx; I don't see the position of the larynx making a significant difference.

      Interesting yet obvious observation. If I extend your thought, we actually have turned one "weakness" (or really bad, bad design) into an "advantage". OK, not "we", rather "evolution", this mindless process, made us evolve. Another example of the marvel that we and everything living around us exists exactly as we/they do. Btw. I do agree that the position of the larynx is not that important, when compared to what you observed. The "almost" 1:1 ratio of horizontal vs vertical length has little to do with the fact that we can speak and articulate, heck even create a set of symbols that describes things not based on what they look like, but based on what they sound like. Like this very letters I am typing. And I even know and make use of a certain, culturally specific system of written form of sounds to communicate from my brain to your brain some ideas. I wonder if there can be an absolute, abstract way of communicating brain-to-brain, that does not rely on any sound, culture, or "sound-related-notation". I believe there is and research in this direction has long been going. Direct brain to brain communication. What was the name of the I think he was Brazilian professor? Miguel Nicolelis. I had to google that. Another "extension" of our brains. I am overthinking everything past this point. Aaaaaa.... Help. :-)

      Many species are smart in many ways, but once you really go into all this stuff, you start to see the "leftovers" from what once was. Our DNA, for instance, is a mess! Like, we have remains of old viruses scattered around, and some pieces of DNA, called transposons, have more or less randomly inserted themselves in our DNA, sometimes disrupting perfectly good genes. This applies to the vast majority of organisms though. Specifically for humans, we have situations like the palmaris longus, a tendon missing in 15% of people, but it doesn't make any difference. Or how we, as fetuses, all still have tails. Even goosebumps.

  • @erikziak1249
    @erikziak1249 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Humans truly have unlocked the amazing power of brain to brain communication. The downside is, that it is "noisy", both in the literal sense, as well as the "misunderstanding" sense. And I do not mean different languages. I mean each brain has its own sets of "boxes" and associated "meanings". Usually they overlap between individuals who speak/listen to each other, harnessing this "telepathy". Physically it can be described as acoustic waves, pressure changes, or "vibrations" on air, or another medium that can be utilized to "transmit" those longitudinal waves (not transversal like light). What amazes me, that our ears are not that special at all, nor is the neurological/brain "connection". Many animals can learn to "understand" human language, e.g. dogs, but they still lack the possibility to "speak". Conclusion: The "sending" and "receiving" parts of the brain to brain communication are separated. Also, I had to drink 6 bottles of beer to write this. If sober, I would hesitate to write anything at all. I am not sure if I even would grasp my thoughts they way I did now. They fly too fast, with me being unable to slow them down in order to think about them and process them.

      This is absolutely not just in humans, I'm sorry to tell you. Individual Voice Recognition (IVR) has been very studied in many different species, and is particularly important for mammals, birds and amphibians. These animals use the recognition of a voice to determine if it's a friend or foe. Think of wolves howling - they do this fx. to scare off stranger wolf packs or individuals, and therefore the wolves must be able to determine whether they know this pack of wolves or not.
      In addition to this, humans have been found to be incredibly bad at recognizing voices, so maybe we shouldn't boast about that, lol.
      Some sources:
      IVR:
      - Individual vocal recognition across taxa: a review of the literature and a look into the future, Carlson et al. 2020
      Voice recognition in humans:

Babies can still drink and make general noises before the drop, but the drop allows for actual speech development. :)
