I was watching a TH-camr not long ago and it showed a small town in Alaska where they are actually allowed to hunt whales because it’s part of there culture. Than showed them bringing in a dead whale they had killed. It was the saddest thing I had seen in a very long time. I think it should be illegal for anyone to kill a whale.
They are beautiful animals, but if people indigenous to the land are to eat in a way that can be sustained, there should be regulated exceptions to the animal’s protection
It’s a small amount that they hunt for their OWN consumption!!! And they have been eating whale for thousands of years! That’s how they survived in that climate! Whale and seal meat had all the nutrition they need. It’s not to make money, they only collect the meat and divide it up among all the people in the community. That food is a vital part of their culture! What if someone said you can’t eat chicken McNuggets anymore because some people in another place think doing that to chickens isn’t right. It’s their right to harvest those whales. They do it ethically and sustainably like they have for millennia. I think we should just leave them alone, indigenous people know what they are doing.
An excellent documentary, further solidifying the reality that interaction between species is the only way for life to flourish. Our selfish stance is systematically annihilating the very world we rely upon. And yes, we even ended the giant Tolstoy likely because he was feeding off of crops we grow in his land.
I Have this in my DVD collection. Including 2 copies as a little insurance. 12:31 & 13:18 If it isn’t the Wankel T.Rex. Or should I say the Nations T.Rex now?

I think crocodiles are the #1 survival beast ever created by life through evolution.. time.. climates.. etc.. on planet Earth !! Crocodiles are totally insane ! 🤘😎👍 📌Awesome video documentary ✅
@39:05 Why feathers though (which happen to be conducive to flight and would catch air incumbering the animals clutching speed)? Why not fir? What we have here is a chicken or egg conundrum (pardon the pun). Perhaps it leapt from perches or trees onto its prey and feathers evolved, that way, to cushion its fall. But I don't see the evolutionary niche in feathers as warmth.
What is so amazing is that hominids eveloved to the sound of birds belloing ,belling ,svreetcjimg and singing ,before we where birds already where . Most likely this why we find birdsong and sounds ,beautiful ,evocative and hypnotic . Before we began our very earliest evolutionary steps ,before us birds where there ,we evolved to all the variety of sounds that birds make.

It's amazing, this is the first Nova documentary I've ever seen that was narrated by someone who was almost asleep. I can just picture him, not recording his lines in a sound booth, but in his pajamas, tucked into bed with a snuggly warm blanket and his teddy bear, very close to drifting off to sleep, barely able to get his lines out between yawns. Can someone please get this man a very large coffee? Or perhaps can we get a narrator who at least sounds even mildly interested in the subject matter he's discussing?
The discussion on whales is forwarded with a lot of hindsight, things that seem "natural" on the basis that it must have been so to make sense to us. It just couldn't have been otherwise. A single bone allows all these inferences, with other, lesser bones "naturally" falling in line as supporting evidence. And there we have the graphic product hunting in coastal waters! A few dates are given, so we do know now that about 10 million years appear to have been enough for the massive changes necessary from wolf to whale. Biology and genetics might help us there. We would need to know about the time it takes for all the adaptations, i.e., for the beneficial mutations to be realized and become fixed. We would need to resolve the issues of interdependent functionality arising at once, and we would need to know about population sizes that enable the entire feat. Perhaps 10 million years is a gross underestimate, after all, considering the vast number of mutational changes necessary, which could not have happened simultaneously in the Darwinian purposeless world. Not all of the palaeontological community is by no means behind the story presented here. Of course, a lot of scientists need to protect their jobs and to do so they need to stick to the current paradigm that rules their "scientific" world. But I can't help being unenthused about Darwin's macro-evolutionary feats and contemporary fossil wizardry. Even the National Geographic has bought into this evolutionarily peaceful and relaxing picture of whale evolution being portrayed in this video. Well, rest with it and look no further, or go on and watch Richard Sternberg's "Whale Evolution vs. Population Genetics."
I think the most interesting question is what happens if humans die off and go extinct. I think many of our domesticated animals, that we've spread across the world would evolve into some of the most predominant lineages. The chicken, the cow, the very few species saved or increased dramatically by humans, rather than made extinct by them. Imagine chickens evolve into apex predators, in an ironic note towards their dinosaur history.
Domesticated animals came from their wild counterparts, so I'd assume they would kinda revert to that. Dogs will be like wolves, chicken will be like their wild ancestors, etc.
My favourite evo story. Does anyone know if there is any video footage or pictures of small changes in the fossils of Pakecetus indicating it was changing to ambulocetus and small changes in ambulocetus had evolved from Pakecetus. All we currently have to observe from what gets floated online is these 2 animals once existed and are now extinct. Anything else beyond that requires imagination and a accept and believe attitude
Amazing, wonderful, spectacular. Loved every second of this. It made me happy and sad. People are mostly stupid and all consuming, busy with war, religion and simply greed, no interest in natural world, no interest in preservation. We are about to lose all these incredible creatures forever, soon after it will be us.

Interesting content, appallingly ham-fisted sound design. Intrusive and childish. Let the images speak for themselves. Use dramatic music sparingly. Watch some Attenborough documentaries to understand how it should be done.
Don't act sick of it it's already affecting billions, you haven't noticed the increased frequency oland intensity of storms, wildfires, floods etc, as well as more extreme weather? The degraded ecosystems due to poor carbon fixing and temp increase? I don't care if people are sick of it it's happening and it should be our first priority.
The recepie for making a documentory in the US: -Find a narrator with a deep, soupy voice. Then get them to speak as overly-dramatically and sloooooly as possible -Don't forget the overly intrusive and dramatic music -Manufacturer lots of false jepordy -Spend as much time concentrating on emotional talking heads and their feelings as you can squeeze in, rather than what they do or know. -There's nothing so embarrasingly pathetic as seeing an adult shedding a tear over nothing, so include that to make the audience more uncomfortable -If you can get a talking head to spout some hockey philosophy semi-related to the blindingly obvious, or just plain nonsense so much the better -You can really stretch things out by repeating everything in excruciating detail after every advert break -If you can't avoid saying someting of worth, drag it out and repeat it with a musical crescendo to the point the viewer's brain shuts down in self defense -The names of the people who worked on your programe are there to list in detail at the start and end to chew up as much run time as possible ...so with all that in mind, let's see how well this US made documentory did. Well... it didin't disappoint. But well produced with more actual information than I've come to expect. Well done..?

1:40:00 it shows elephant lineage, but to my understanding, Asian elephants are more closely related to mammoths than they are to African elephants.
You are correct, the vid is flawed.
@Dr.Ian-Plect You'll both get over it!
Actually they're more closely related to Masterdons more so than Mammoths
@@Athlonite69 I'm talking about the genus (which contains wooly mammoth). Asian elephants are more closely related to them, then are African elephants. But from what I understood quickly looking at it, mastodons are an earlier species that are either transitional species or a common anscestor of both living elephant genus. But correct me if I misunderstood that last part or your comment.
@@Athlonite69 "Actually they're more closely related to Masterdons more so than Mammoths"
- the name is mastodon
- wrong; Asian elephants are much more closely related to mammoths than to mastodons. Mastodons are well outside the elephant family, whereas mammoths are within it
Love It. Well produced
This one of those narrators who puts on what he thinks is a "windswept and interesting" voice (to paraphrase Billy Connolly) and ends up just sounding like he's half asleep.
The world will miss Attenborough, in my view the greatest of communicators; how I wish he'd provided the narration for this.
It sounds like Lee Pace actually 🤔
strange to open with crocodiles in a documentary about whales lmao
Yeh I agree
Came to comments to check there was any whale section
52:34 I completely agree with this 'declaration of love'. So... we have to sink the Kangei Maru (the largest whaler ever built and recently launched), and, ye, also all the others.

It's full of lies. ***Is the Fossil Record "observable evidence" for Evolution?*** Lets test this.
1) Who saw the geologic column form? No one.
2) Who saw the sediments get layered? No one.
3) Who saw the time eras get laid? No one.
4) Who saw the fossils get sorted into the time eras? Nobody.
6) Who saw how the fossils lived, died, went extinct, and supposedly evolved? No one.
So what does all of this mean? It means that the Fossil Record 100% solely relies on eisegesis which does not replace observation, nor does it trump observation. And what's worse is that only those who already believe evolution is true are the only ones allowed to the evidence. That makes the data partisan and bias.

An intriguing question for me as an Australian non-expert in crocodilian study, is: in what way, if any, does the Australian salt water crocodile, I believe the largest and most ferocious of the species and long isolated from its counterparts elsewhere, differ from its relatives?

I was watching a TH-camr not long ago and it showed a small town in Alaska where they are actually allowed to hunt whales because it’s part of there culture. Than showed them bringing in a dead whale they had killed. It was the saddest thing I had seen in a very long time. I think it should be illegal for anyone to kill a whale.
Indigenous Alaskan people kill very few whales compared to what European people did and still do on one island.
They are beautiful animals, but if people indigenous to the land are to eat in a way that can be sustained, there should be regulated exceptions to the animal’s protection
It’s a small amount that they hunt for their OWN consumption!!! And they have been eating whale for thousands of years! That’s how they survived in that climate! Whale and seal meat had all the nutrition they need. It’s not to make money, they only collect the meat and divide it up among all the people in the community. That food is a vital part of their culture! What if someone said you can’t eat chicken McNuggets anymore because some people in another place think doing that to chickens isn’t right. It’s their right to harvest those whales. They do it ethically and sustainably like they have for millennia. I think we should just leave them alone, indigenous people know what they are doing.

An excellent documentary, further solidifying the reality that interaction between species is the only way for life to flourish. Our selfish stance is systematically annihilating the very world we rely upon. And yes, we even ended the giant Tolstoy likely because he was feeding off of crops we grow in his land.
Great episode
I Have this in my DVD collection. Including 2 copies as a little insurance. 12:31 & 13:18 If it isn’t the Wankel T.Rex. Or should I say the Nations T.Rex now?

To think 80k years ago we were almost extinct via Neanderthals except for a few dozen that we all hail from today.
Time and resilience are the best way
Didn’t Homo sapiens kill off the Neanderthals?
I thought Charles Darwin settled this argument a long time ago
Some people still beat up on a piece of grass where 150 years ago there used to be a horse.
He identified the broad process for ALL spieces, not the individual lineages of specific modern animals.
He knew nothing about genetics.
He nudged the science of evolution in the right direction, but still left many problems and questions.

You are the realisation of Biological "AI". "It is clear evolution could have not occurred." - Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
**Evolution Requires Faith**
For many, a belief in evolution comes from the desire to remove the need for God as Creator. Some would say evolution comes from what the evidence says to us. But evidence never speaks for itself, it’s always interpreted using your assumptions and starting points. And only when you examine the evidence through the lens of the Bible does it makes sense.
Evolution is rooted in the belief system of naturalism that doesn’t allow for anything outside the laws of nature to explain how our world operates. Ironically, naturalism requires the violation of several known laws of the universe.
- The law of biogenesis [life only comes from life]
- The uniformity of nature [uniformity cannot exist or be expected without a creator]
- The laws of physics [the big bang requires the suspension of the laws of physics, nor could those laws exist without a Creator]
- The laws of probability [he fine tuning of the universe requires a Creator]
- The laws of logic/arithmetic [logic requires a logical source]
- The laws of chemistry [the consistent properties of the elements require intelligence]
- The laws of information [information can only come from an intelligence]
To accept that all of these things truly operate in the world without God as their Creator and Organiser requires an immense amount of faith. While it is often used as a criticism of Jesus followers, those who have an evolutionary worldview must accept all of these things by blind faith since there is no naturalistic explanation for the existence of these laws. While Jesus followers also accept certain truths by faith, it is faith in the Creator and Lawgiver who provides a basis for those truths, not a blind faith in blind, chance processes.
The "laws" may exist but your definitions of their workings are ludicrous.

Well one thing is certain is that ungen’s tie needs to evolve .
@39:05 Why feathers though (which happen to be conducive to flight and would catch air incumbering the animals clutching speed)? Why not fir? What we have here is a chicken or egg conundrum (pardon the pun). Perhaps it leapt from perches or trees onto its prey and feathers evolved, that way, to cushion its fall. But I don't see the evolutionary niche in feathers as warmth.
When are the walking whales

Hello
What a boring documentary 😬 just bla...bla...and doesn't show how they really lived .
The chicken is the most prolific and numerous bird on the planet
Isn't that because we have bred them that way? We breed them for food. And that is just one species of bird.
Only because we farm them.
WRONG its the sparrow if u dont believe me try counting them
This narrator is rather annoying. Why does he talk like he’s struggling to stay awake?
PBS is so different from overall PBS. It is so dumbed down and narrated in a way as if secrets are to be revealed.
I swear, the narrator sounds alot like Lee Pace!
What is so amazing is that hominids eveloved to the sound of birds belloing ,belling ,svreetcjimg and singing ,before we where birds already where .
Most likely this why we find birdsong and sounds ,beautiful ,evocative and hypnotic .
Before we began our very earliest evolutionary steps ,before us birds where there ,we evolved to all the variety of sounds that birds make.

The discussion on whales is forwarded with a lot of hindsight, things that seem "natural" on the basis that it must have been so to make sense to us. It just couldn't have been otherwise. A single bone allows all these inferences, with other, lesser bones "naturally" falling in line as supporting evidence. And there we have the graphic product hunting in coastal waters! A few dates are given, so we do know now that about 10 million years appear to have been enough for the massive changes necessary from wolf to whale. Biology and genetics might help us there. We would need to know about the time it takes for all the adaptations, i.e., for the beneficial mutations to be realized and become fixed. We would need to resolve the issues of interdependent functionality arising at once, and we would need to know about population sizes that enable the entire feat. Perhaps 10 million years is a gross underestimate, after all, considering the vast number of mutational changes necessary, which could not have happened simultaneously in the Darwinian purposeless world. Not all of the palaeontological community is by no means behind the story presented here. Of course, a lot of scientists need to protect their jobs and to do so they need to stick to the current paradigm that rules their "scientific" world. But I can't help being unenthused about Darwin's macro-evolutionary feats and contemporary fossil wizardry. Even the National Geographic has bought into this evolutionarily peaceful and relaxing picture of whale evolution being portrayed in this video. Well, rest with it and look no further, or go on and watch Richard Sternberg's "Whale Evolution vs. Population Genetics."
Wanton ignorance. And, they didn't evolve from wolves.
Australia has crocodile that runs like horse from pond to pond .
No we don't, clown ...

My father always said if someone asked you a question if you don't know the answer make it up cuz they don't know the answer 😂😂😂
Yeah but there's google now so that's terrible advice
And yes happy new year every pbs fan 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 this is the party night.
The amourd scales of the crocodile must suggest that they were once also prey from vicious predators.
They fight eachother and many species take down large and powerful prey. Armour doesn't always mean predation.
The loud background music is very off-putting. Perhaps lower volume if not absent at all.
I think the most interesting question is what happens if humans die off and go extinct. I think many of our domesticated animals, that we've spread across the world would evolve into some of the most predominant lineages. The chicken, the cow, the very few species saved or increased dramatically by humans, rather than made extinct by them. Imagine chickens evolve into apex predators, in an ironic note towards their dinosaur history.
Domesticated animals came from their wild counterparts, so I'd assume they would kinda revert to that. Dogs will be like wolves, chicken will be like their wild ancestors, etc.

My favourite evo story. Does anyone know if there is any video footage or pictures of small changes in the fossils of Pakecetus indicating it was changing to ambulocetus and small changes in ambulocetus had evolved from Pakecetus. All we currently have to observe from what gets floated online is these 2 animals once existed and are now extinct. Anything else beyond that requires imagination and a accept and believe attitude
Amazing, wonderful, spectacular. Loved every second of this. It made me happy and sad.

If the theory of benefits of great size in the water "held water", all species in that habitat would increase. Any account of size of organisms in any habitat woult have to explain small sizes also, down to micro organisms.

Ok homo erectus, I pray for your ascension to sapiens one day
Don't act sick of it it's already affecting billions, you haven't noticed the increased frequency oland intensity of storms, wildfires, floods etc, as well as more extreme weather? The degraded ecosystems due to poor carbon fixing and temp increase? I don't care if people are sick of it it's happening and it should be our first priority.
The recepie for making a documentory in the US:
-Find a narrator with a deep, soupy voice. Then get them to speak as overly-dramatically and sloooooly as possible
-Don't forget the overly intrusive and dramatic music
-Manufacturer lots of false jepordy
-Spend as much time concentrating on emotional talking heads and their feelings as you can squeeze in, rather than what they do or know.
-There's nothing so embarrasingly pathetic as seeing an adult shedding a tear over nothing, so include that to make the audience more uncomfortable
-If you can get a talking head to spout some hockey philosophy semi-related to the blindingly obvious, or just plain nonsense so much the better
-You can really stretch things out by repeating everything in excruciating detail after every advert break
-If you can't avoid saying someting of worth, drag it out and repeat it with a musical crescendo to the point the viewer's brain shuts down in self defense
-The names of the people who worked on your programe are there to list in detail at the start and end to chew up as much run time as possible
...so with all that in mind, let's see how well this US made documentory did.
Well... it didin't disappoint. But well produced with more actual information than I've come to expect.
Well done..?
