Bro, I freaking LOVE your videos! It's like the speed of minute physics, the information of vsauce but all spiced with a sprinkle of sarcasm! Keep it up!
At 3:10 - The route through which hominins left Africa is the Bab-el-Mendeb by the Horn of Africa, not by the Suez route. There is no evidence for that. A loop back from Asia to the Middle East is more likely.
what if the other 6 species had never gone extinct? Could be the basis for a pretty cool science fiction book! What would history have looked like if we had evolved civilization next to different species so similar to us?
Great series/channel. Everything from production, content, and narrative, up (or down) to sarcasm, smooth innuendo, and cheesy jokes. Well done Hank and team.
This was published in 2012. I recall several exciting finds since then. I would very much enjoy a detailed video going over the new additions to the Human family. Please?
*REPENT!!! Repent and accept the one true god! TALOS!* Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man! Trust in me, TH-cam! Trust in the words of Plato! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
i vote that we all, all of humanity, go to sleep for 7 million years and allow Merkats to evolve into adorable tiny-ferret-people. Our species will probably clash, killing millions and possibly destroying the world, but they'd be so adorable!
neanderthals would sure make some beastly football/rugby players (for anyone un-aware they had waaaaaay denser bones/skeletal structure than us, they could take a hell of a lot harder of a hit)
Shammo Hamid >> a scientific theory isn't a guess. It's a collection of facts and guidelines to understand those facts. It isn't a guess like every mainstreamer think it is. A scientific guess is called a Hypothesis. It's something which is mathematically possible, but is yet to be proven in reality. Cause here's the thing. Math is also "just" a theory. Have a nice day
I kind of wish I had gone to a religious school for my high school education. It would have been much easier. My bio class would have been only 2 minutes long, my earth science class, about 1 min long and chemistry about the same length too. "Hello, students, I am your science teacher and the administration, school board and clergy have made sure that you get the best science education on the planet. Please turn to page one in your bible. If you have any questions, the answer is 'God did it'. Test tomorrow. After your test, we will sing some hymns and hold our hands up high while we worship sky daddy, the guy who 'did it'." But, my parents chose a public school for me to attend so that I could get a proper education. Thanks Mom and Dad.
saxmanchiro I'm a Athiest that goes to a private Christian school. I choose to go because of the small classroom size, personalized education and lack of harmful standardized testing. There are a lot more factors that go into choosing where you get you're education then what meets the eye. I choose to educate myself and do my own research because a lot of the public school curriculum is skewed also.
Nate Boltz "public school curriculum is skewed.." Not in sciences. As to the other things you listed re private schools, I understand since I attended one for high school. Just make sure the school is not pushing their particular religious views re science and you are good to go.
Mark, you are one of the most scientifically illiterate people i have had the displeasure of hearing from. Do a little research before spewing your ignorance.
You are one of the best speakers I have listened to in a long time. The subjects are informative and alive, I hope you continue on the voyage and I am looking forward to many more interesting talks. Thanks
Phrasing matters, SciShow. Especially in topics like evolution. Statements like the one at 7:51 are not helping. Don't say "The only solution was for babies to be born before their brains were fully formed." This implies that our genes are making the decision to give birth earlier as a solution to the large head problem. Not only isn't this true, it also confuses people who are already at a disadvantage in understanding how evolution works. It sounds like a small thing, but I have made this clarification many times when discussing this topic and you might be surprised at how often it becomes the "lightbulb moment" for people who were unsure about evolution. You might think it's a harmless little verbal shortcut that makes it easier to explain evolution. Trouble is, it ascribes nonexistent motivation (and functionality) to our genes (a strange form of anthropomorphism) and is so obviously logically problematic that even young children spot it. Worse, it creates seeds of doubt in their minds, leaving them susceptible to the non-science of the Creationist crowd. Instead, say "That meant babies who were born before their brains were fully formed were less likely to die or kill their mothers during childbirth. As more early-birthing mothers survived, they passed that early-birthing trait onto their children until early-birthing women became the norm." Every time we explain science poorly, we open the door to non-science.
plus many animals are born before their brains are fully developed and the human genome project showed all humans are missing a gene that shows up in most primates that give them a strong muscle that come over the top of their heads and connect to the jaw giving them more bite force but also forces the skull to close fully and earlier in life than our own. Here is my thing if food lead to increase brain size along with being bipedal then manny of our domestic animals who are fed better than in the wild would be showing the same signs especially rabbit and rats as we have been feeding and breeding them along with dog (who are proven to be LESS intelligent than wolves) WOULD ALL show these signs of change even horses would have show signs of this change and there isn't much change at all even with our assistance to say food caused the mutations that started in our brain to lead us to now is stupid I mean I have read about 15 papers on the subject each being like a book in itself and there is no sign that this is even close to accurate. it is just a theory a guess that has no standing but COULD be so but very unlikely it is more likely that aliens gave us our mutations I mean come on just look at the thousands of years of evolution this would have happened to at least one other animal or at least started in another animal . It is more likely that our line started to become more specialized in its DNA and got rid of excess DNA after all many things have more DNA than we do so there is more room to hide traits but more ability to adapt each generation. people are good at creating but without our tools we would be in very select places of the world and would die out quickly do to world changes.
Nicky s there's already been a sci show episode with a possible new discovery of a multiplication of a gene which could be the reason we have higher intelligence, although protein would help fuel a large brain, when you think of all the animals who eat just meat it does not create a pattern of higher intelligence vs those who don't.
Best part of the video for me (10:44) "...some of our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-(...)grandmother spent a crazy night in a cave in Israel" HAHAHAHAHAHA
I think a few of you need to understand the difference between fact, theory, law, and hypothesis. A fact is an observation. Like there is water dropping from the sky. A Theory tells us WHAT and WHY. A Law tells us HOW. Facts are just observations. GRAVITY is a LAW and a THEORY. Not one or the other. The Law part tells us HOW in MATHs and the Theory part tells us WHAT and WHY. Theories and Laws are supported by EVIDENCE, EXPERIMENTS, MATHS, and PREDICATIONS. A Hypothesis is a possibility, an idea. It takes many of the above evidences, experiments, and maths and predictions that come true to solidify something as a theory and as a law. There are stronger theories and weaker theories. However evolution IS a stronger theory, having been tested more than every other theory. Some of our strongest theories are: Evolution, Big Bang, Quantum Mechanics, and Gravity. Evolution IS adaption. It is not one or the other. Being able to see how this adaption happens on smaller scales and then larger scales is truly a beautiful thing. Many of you have a wall up that does not want to let evolution in. For some of you this is because of pride. For others this is because you truly are not educated on the issue and for others it is because of your religious beliefs. I recommend researching the issue on the internet about the facts, evidence, experiments, maths, and predictions all supporting evolution. For example. The LAW of NATURAL SELECTION is a LAW supporting the Theory of Evolution. So is...The LAW of Fossil Succession, DNA, the age of the universe, the age of the Earth, and so much more. I highly recommend a class in or an internet search on HOW TO READ GENESIS. Most of you are not taught how to properly read the Bible and this is one of the gravest mistakes modern churches have done to the public. If you have a question, please email me. I'm happy to help. A book of mine of this very topic is called THE ANCIENT GENESIS. I'm more then willing to discuss the religious viewpoint on evolution.
Exceptionally long? Not at all. Difficult to summarize the history of humanity. Hank, you are so completely awsome. Keep up the fantastic work SciShow and in the ever so wise words of Bill and Ted; be excellent to each other 👍🏻
They were probably thought creationism in school, I think that they still teach creationism for example on Faroe Islands and I suppose at some places in USA too, but I am not sure about that, either way it's sad that it still happnes. Even the pope now admitted that evolution is true, like come on christians.
My old/favorite archaeology professor used to always say "as long as our ancestors could have sex with each other, they did, all the time, all over the place"
stlchucko were too stuck on fighting to beable to support a growing eveolving species...hell we might be the reason for our own extinction simply b/c were greedy all for the sake of status and power..everyone wants to be a boss but everyone is a sheep...we care about a piece of paper b/c were told to believe its value wen reality its just a useless piece of paper...but ppl fight and die and cause wars for it......if all of huamnity worked together not only would we be much more advanced...we would further develop due to a increased need for isues that would occur..without war we would probably progressively become more aware..as in more intelligent simply b/c we would be so much more socially pushed for inteligence due to a lack of powerstruggles between different powers...but were at war b/c ppl are morons..and then u have ppl who are smart and see profit in it b/c they like the valueless pieces of paper that have only as much value as we say they do...ooooh shiny..my shiny..and so money was born...
Zach Schmidt What does that have to do with biological evolution or the belief "man came from dirt"? Even if people fight over trivial things or humans appear determined to end it's own species, it has no bearing on the topic... unless you want to relate it to natural selection; where a species that kills itself won't survive.
You should have a cable channel! Everything is clear to understand and very informative. The kids I tutor look forward to viewing your channel every Friday! Keep up the great work!!✌✌😀
Lots of people think that before Darwin everyone a creationist or something. Not at all true. Linnaeus classified all living things accouring to their relationship with others 70 years before Darwin was born because hundreds of years before him naturalists assumed all living things were decneded from a common ancestor. What Darwin did was describe the method in which one species changes to another. Long, long before him everyone knew that they did.
Interesting info about other knowing about evolution before Darwin. I never knew that. Thank you. Take care from Buddhist/agnostic Lee. See you in the next life. Ha ha!
How can you disprove something that in its very nature is unproveable? Religion is based on faith which is believing without seeing, so there is no proof of it existing and so no proof that it does not.
@@joshgoodman6534 well that's like saying you believe in santa but you can't prove he's real or he is not real.. come on. We all know santa isn't real. The question comes to religious people. Why do you believe in a god in the absence of evidence? Of course there is no evidence god doesn't exist, but why did you even assume that god even exists in the first place?
NotAFoolMan why did we assume that , ? Really !! U didn't even assume that ?! And u really believe that believing in Darwinian macro evolution doesn't require any kind of blind faith?
Neanderthals were always doomed due to having such a small population. There were just not many of them, so being interbred into extinction was inevitable.
I'm afraid to look at the comments. I'm typing this and telling my self not to look. If I look I'll turn into a troll. Ahhhh...... I looked… I looookedddddd......
I'm a Christian and I totally believe evolution is the way all things change in respose to themselves and the environment. Lets be honest, the Bible is a great guidebook to how to find personal enlightenment but what worked 2000 years ago ain't gonna fly today when there are facts. Remember, religion is man made. God is what you see when you look out into the universe.
I guess you can say I believe in intelligent design. I believe that whatever religion one follows is a personal decision and once it becomes forced down anothers' throat, it becomes facism. I was just sharing a thought really with my comment. I really wanna end any topics on religion because like politics, it's all a matter of opinion and anything one way or another will always cause heated debate. It's just good to know we're all here, really.
I prayed to God that when i clicked this video the comments wouldnt be plagued with religious bickering. oh, how humanity never fails to disappoint me.
Well I think that is a pretty rock solid case against God. If there shouldn't be any religious bickering on a video like this it can only be a miracle.
Cloud Seeker Please explain how this is rock solid evidence against God? Also, please do explain exactly how evolution works on a DNA level. How do beneficial random mutations occur in order to add (or scramble) the DNA to create a completely new kind of animal or plant? Please don't add the magic ingredient of millions of years as an answer for evolution to happen. I've never heard a decent answer to this question and I'm just curious of how you think it happens? Everything that is known about DNA changing to create a new kind of animal proves it is mathematically impossible for this to occur.
James Jameson hes joking... please stop.. denying science is only going to look bad on other theists. besides, evolution is not purely for atheists. a majority of christians and other theists believe in it as well.
James Jameson What the fuck are you talking about? When have I talked about evolution? Also as Dante Wynter say, evolution isn't purely something for atheists. All big religions have accepted evolution apart from the backwater denominations of the religion. Evolution denial is pretty much only something you see in the US among fundamentalists and in undeveloped countries where knowledge is overall hard to get.
Notice this video says facts about evolution? That's because there are scientific facts of evolution. A scientific theory explains facts, such as mutation which causes variation and natural selection which picks successful mutations. The majority of people who believe in God accept evolution, because it describes facts. The Theory explains the facts.
Whenever I speak to religious fundamentalists, I try to met them halfway by suggesting they read the Language of God by Francis Collins, the scientists who mapped the human genome and became an Evangelical Christian. If they read his book, at least they'll have a grasp pf the facts of evolution, mutation and natural selection. Detrimental mutations tend to result in miscarriages.
GoodScienceForYou Of course there are no ‘facts’, Science deals with evidence. Surely one of the smartest people alive, that’s you, should know the only people who can outright deal with facts, are Mathematicians, not Biologists. However, there is a mountain of evidence, for example; a continuous line of hominid fossils that becomes more and more human like, the earlier the fossil is.
Sophie Doon What about the modern Homo Hominid found in Australia? When it was first discovered they thought they found the missing link. "1000" cc brain capacity depressed skull and all these dumb ass beliefs were triggered. evolutionforum.info/yabbfiles/Attachments/pintubiangl.jpg evolutionforum.info/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335717542 It turns out to be less than 100 years old and and extinct tribe from Australia. IT IS JUST LIKE ALL THE EXTINCT HOMINIDS THAT DEGRADED AND WENT EXTINCT FROM MUTATIONS. It amazes me how silly Evodelusionism is. If you have no DNA and you dig up an extinct creature with absolutely no trail of existence after it went extinct, then it is not evidence of any form of evolution. It fits with all the other DNA evidence we have today on modern humans. There is only one path of "evolution" and that is we were put here and as time goes on we are destroying our own genetic structures from ignorance. If you are weak and needy, you will want the fantasy. If you are a seeker of the Truth, then you only want absolutely irrefutable physical evidence before making any conclusions. This type of evidence is all around you. Evodelusionists ignore it. That is why it is called living in the darkness of "ignor----ance". For over 40 years, with the first DNA testing, we have never found any form of evolution. We have well over 1,000,000 DNA studies with upwards of 100,000 deleterious mutations causing us to be weak, need medical and technology to survive. Humans have NEVER improved in any way shape or form. We are more tribal, separatist, hateful, and make up all sorts of new religions to keep us hating each other. Evodelusionism is the worst religion to ever plague humanity. evolutionsciencenow.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
If we could revive extinct animals, then could we also do the same for humans ? Like brining back the neathertaler or homo erectus ? Man would that be awesome :D
It's possible to revive species now, but it includes putting the dna from the old specie's remain into a female's eggs and that will be considered inhumane so I doubt they would do that. Plus keeping them alive would be hard too. This chanel has a video about that topic, so watch that if you wanna
You know how unlikely it is that extraterrestrial genetic material is compatible with hominid DNA? It's like throwing a sword in the air, and then catching it perfectly in its scabbard while blindfolded and drunk.
If every single creationist learned about physics, geology, and biology as much as i have, probably less than 5% of them would still accept the fairy tale of young earth creation. But we all know they won't do that.
there are over 7 BILLION religious.. there are over 100 millon scientists who are religious.. that the stupidest statement ever made.. there are more phd religious scientists than atheists..go home child
i have 4 phds sonny..geophysics and biochemengineering, thats rocket scientist to you.. i have an md and vmd and have worked at nasa. you were saying something foolish, again, but all i hear is blah blah blah
Why? Because water is physical proof we don’t live on a spinning ball but you will claim gravity which you cannot prove. We all know water cannot be contained on the surface of a spinning ball.
Also ignore the evolutionists who have no fossils except one which only the pelvis which is curved is their "proof". Lol not like it could've been squished or anything by a boulder.
You think that these are articulate fully formed skeletons we're finding? Cause they're not. It's a mixed bag of bones found sometimes miles away from eachother.
cr1ticalRevenge Well it only start because people still think bronze age knowledge is correct. Only 1 side is correct and the evidence doesn't support the creationists.
Well I was raised to believe it and I enjoy the stories. A lot of stories coincide across cultures. The Bible, the Greeks, and the Romans all have flood myths, creation myths, stories about evil coming into the world, etc. And I feel sorry for people like you who pity those of us who are enjoying a perfectly good life. Don't waste your pity on me.
Bolt Thief If you enjoy the Bible stories for what they are - just stories, you are perfectly fine. I love fiction, too. Lord of the Ring is awesome, for example! If you think, however, that all these stories were based on facts, you're delusional.
This video goes into so much details about human evolution, and the comment section is filled with god-fearing, "evolution is a myth" comments from Neanderthals! oh calamity!
Gooners Rule That is true. I still kinda wish there were other hominids around though. Like, just to be able to see what other species of us are like, you know?
Greg. Sym. No, like scientists think we've evolved a bit more, so we're now the subspecies "Homo sapiens sapiens." I'm curious what evidence (if any) there is of the evolution, like what's actually different. Or if there's no actual proof we're different, and it's just a sort of guess.
+gingergamergirl98 That's not what happened. It is suggested by some scientists, because of evidence of inbreeding, that Neanderthals and H. Sapiens are subspecies of the same biological species. If this view is accepted, it would necessitate reclassifying the two groups as subspecies. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens.
Justin Burrows Hm. Curious. My biology teacher said that scientists think that we've changed a bit in the last several thousand years or so. He even had us answer questions on assignments, tests, etc like, "What is the scientific name of humans?" with 'Homo sapiens sapiens'. And we had to say all classifications (like from domain to subspecies) for humans as well, and again we were to say Homo sapiens sapiens. I think he only took off half a point if you said 'Homo sapiens' though.
gingergamergirl98 I, personally, only had to answer with h. Sapiens. I think I may be in a different country though so syllabi are naturally a bit different.
there are over 7 BILLION religious.. there are over 100 millon scientists who are religious.. that the stupidest statement ever made.. there are more phd religious scientists than atheists..go home child
From Darwin's son: "Lady Hope's account of my father's views on religion is quite untrue. I have publicly accused her of falsehood, but have not seen any reply." [15] From Darwin's daughter: "I was present at his deathbed. Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. The whole story has no foundation whatever.
Warren and how many of them actually have +100 IQ? how many of them ACTUALLY believe in God? Because my Christian uncle has been to Africa (dont know which country) and the statistics were saying that 90% of population there are Creationists. Guess what, almost people were lying
Yeah, I'm very careful about my phrasing, especially when talking to other Christians. People who believe in a young Earth like to equate evolution with religion, and being familiar with both, I can testify that there's a profound difference between the two.
Karp Calmari It's a common misconception -- I know I used to believe it when I believed in a young Earth -- that the idea that the Earth and universe are billions of years old is only supported by a couple of pieces of evidence, and if you can discount those then there's no evidence whatsoever. This simply isn't the case. Everything attests to the great age of the universe. It isn't just fossils or radiometric dating, though those are certainly part of it. It's the clear history of plate tectonics on the planet. It's ice cores that record climate information back hundreds of thousands of years. It's all of the meteor craters on the Earth, the evidence of the havoc they've wreaked, and the great apparent age separating them (compare pristine Barringer Crater with the almost completely eroded Vredefort Crater). It's supervolcanoes like Yellowstone and Toba and Taupo and all of their eruptions spanning back millennia. It's volcanic islands that have been building from the deep sea floor and are still building. It's the different states of erosion for different mountain ranges, like the Rockies and the Appalachians, and the ongoing uplift of other ranges like the Himalayas. It's iridium deposits from meteorite impacts and ash from volcanic eruptions and even forest fires that are embedded as layers in the Earth's crust, layers that couldn't possibly have been laid down by any kind of worldwide flood. It's the genetic ties we have to other species. It's features such as our Chromosome 2 or our inability to produce Vitamin C or our inactivated genes for strong, ape-like jaws that tie our ancestry to African apes. It's the genetic diversity of people in Africa compared to the relative lack of genetic diversity everywhere else outside of it. It's the genetic information we find in other species, like the inactivated genes for producing teeth that we find in birds or the inactivated genes for smelling in the air that we find in whales and dolphins. For the wider universe, it's not just the expansion of space or the light we see from stars and galaxies millions and billions of light-years away, though those are certainly part of it. It's how we witness the births and deaths of stars. It's the features, like our Local Bubble of space or distant supernova remnants or planetary nebulae, that clearly take a great deal of time to develop and are still developing. The entire universe screams that it is ancient, that it has deep, deep history. For a young-Earth believer, two options are available. You either have to demonstrate that all of these events and features were caused by natural processes within 6-10,000 years, and show that all of these processes are consistent with each other, or you have to claim that the Earth and universe were made with the appearance of age. If you choose the former, you have to demonstrate how rapid plate tectonics, dozens or hundreds of supervolcano explosions, and dozens of giant asteroid and comet impacts have taken place without boiling away the oceans and liquifying the crust. If you choose the latter, you have the philosophical problem of defending a God who at once is a God of truth who cannot lie and yet has created the universe to be a deliberate fraud. It's not just one or two pieces of evidence that you can dismiss with a hand wave. Everything attests to the antiquity of creation. Put another way, if God has created the universe only to look old, then he has put so much effort into deceiving us that it must be very important to him that we believe that it is all billions of years old. In such a case, I think we ought to believe him. Let me turn your assertion around. You can accept a 6,000-year-old creation as much as you like. There is still no evidence for it. Not a shred of physical evidence that it's only all been here for a few millennia. I challenge you to present data that could only defend your position and no other. And you don't just get to fall back on Genesis 1-3. The church worldwide has been wrong about biblical interpretation too many times (the Earth being flat, the Earth being the center of the universe, God hating the Jews, etc.) for anyone to simply rest upon a specific interpretation of Scripture unexamined.
Thomas Beard None of your fossils or radiometric dating work. They pick and chose when it fits their evolution theory. They never carbon date stuff when they assume a bone is millions of years. And you eat all that shit up. There is no geologic column other than in the textbooks. Of course you're never gonna find humans or mamals in the lowest layers of earth, humans never live there. Fish like and water creatures live at the bottom of the ocean, not reindeer. I'm not here to prove young earth. It's not thought in schools biology classes. The burden is on the evolutionists where the evolution tale is being thought as science. Just because you can't prove evolution doesn't mean you automatically need another explanation.
Karp Calmari Those are the same old, tired talking points. But they don't reflect reality. Scientists don't pick and choose; they account for everything they can. Because genuine anomalies in evidence lead to discoveries, and discoveries lead to success. Every scientist wants to be the one who finds something that doesn't fit the model, because that's when you make headlines. That's when you get grants. And they do it all the time, they find things they never expected, and evolution still works. Evolution as a theory has lasted this long because it keeps getting upheld in light of new discoveries and evidence. You can say that fossils don't tell us anything. But they make a pretty solid column. You're never going to find rabbits in the Cambrian. You're never going to find dinosaurs above the KT boundary. Arguing that this arrangement is natural because mammals don't "live at the bottom of the ocean" contradicts the usual young-Earth assertion that the layers we observe were laid down by a worldwide flood. Yes, you should find chaos on the fossil record if all fossils were laid down by a cataclysm. But we don't. We see order in the field. No side is off the hook for having to provide evidence. Any scientist who is trying to overturn an established idea has to present solid arguments as to why. In my post above, I gave you twenty-something verified observations that attest that the Earth and universe are far older than 6-10,000 years and that life evolves. If you want to say I'm wrong, you have to put in the effort of demonstrating why the examples I've given you don't add up. You don't just get to say someone is wrong and leave it at that. You have to earn it.
Question... Without having the DNA of hominids(Neanderthal not included) and flesh and skin. Is't the fossil record nothing more than just subjective? I mean Hyena's look very much like a canines (dogs) and yet because of genetic understanding, we know they are more closely related felines (cats). Just because the bones of an animal look a lot like another animal doesn't prove they are even related or even came from the same family. Many carnivorous marsupials, like the tasmanian tiger look a ton like a dog based on its bones. But because of an understanding of what they really looked like and genetics, we know that they were in fact not of the same family at all. Without these key elements, how can science know for certain whether we evolved from these animals or not? It seems to me that evolution is based to firmly on evidence that is subject to heavy interpretation and not enough on solid facts.
Fossils and DNA are compared with evolution predictions, if they match evolution still valid. If you find a fossil, or a DNA result,that contradicts evolution you can say evolution is wrong: not the case at this momment in time. The only evidence a Creationist needs is something that contradicts evolution predictions...nobody found such thing. Evolution is getting more and more solid because all whats found matches it,and fills the puzzle, nothing contradicts it.
Well for one thing you are making a statement against Creationism, which I don't see as a solid science either. But I wasn't talking Creationism anyway, I was making a point about macroevolution (change of one animal into another) no real scientist argues changes within a species, this is a fact and it does happen. But as far as it goes there is no such DNA evidence that has been found that shows this has happened, the only evidence might be in the fossils which are subjective and not solid evidence that any lower animal changed into another. It is left up to interpretation. I'm not saying that evolution can't teach us things, I just don't see it as a solid fact that can't fall into some level of scrutiny.
Alma Gordon The scrutiny is continous. There are tons of people all over the world analyzing rocks,dna,fossils,animals,plants..everything. Paleontologists,Biologists,etc. But the thing is...what i said before: all that information is supporting evolution and not contradicting it, the "three" of life is getting more complete every day....and points to a common ancestor for all live creatures.
Well there isn't any different kinds of humans at all right now, there is only 1 kind of human alive right now and that is us. There are different tribes of humans but they are all the same kind of human.
kyle krzemien So I am not allowed to state my opinion? What the hell am I to say when I want to state what *I* think? Also I can't care less about what the majority think, just because the majority think someone doesn't make it correct. It was once the majority opinion that the earth was flat and mythological monsters existed in the deep oceans & forests. To just care about what the majority think is a "argument from popularity" fallacy, just because something is popular doesn't make it correct.
Cloud Seeker I was fucking with you lol........ But, really don't saying "I think," cripples everything else you have illustrated to someone. It shows how uninformed you're about the topic you're debating upon, and will hurt you on the side you're defending.
I think we all know the real truth... God created us and the world in just 6 days, incredible really.. (incredible that most people today are still stupid enough to believe what I just said...)
Kenny l Its alright If you get confused cause scientists shouldn't have called it 'theories' but before you talk about something learn the terminology of the subject. Theory is the explanation of lots of facts. So when it gets to the theory stage it is as fact as 'the world is not flat theory'
This is a scientific video on a channel that talks about everything science related for people in the comment section to discuss. What purpose does a creationist have coming here besides to start up shit that they can't back up lol?
PacifistKraut well I guarantee you in 99% of scientific videos there's always at least 1 creationist spewing bullshit and it gets annoying so there's gotta someone who says incoming Christians coming to talk about their god. You're original comment would make sense if it was an atheist commenting on a video about christianity
+jefferson steelflex There are literally no creationist posts on the front page, yet there are still several commenters explaining to those non-existing creationists how much more intelligent they are then them.
I am a Liberal Secular Christian. I prefer to think of it as sane Christian, but that's just me. I support gay marriage, abortion rights, teaching of evolution and not Creationism, the separation of church and state and of course I believe science. The way i'm capable of believing this is that the earth is as old as science says it is and that God directed the Big Bang, the formation of Earth and the evolution of humans as science describes it. I have a very Liberal interpretation of the Bible in both senses of that word. My reasoning is that while God is perfect, his word transcribed as the Bible was written down very fallible humans. Essentially, i'm saying that the Bible has been changed and altered by humans so much that only a couple of parts are direct quotes from God. That is all, thank you and good night!
Do you know what you should do? If you live in the US you should tell the rest of your people to stop being stupid and stop allowing their religion to dictate your policies. How exactly can anyone from the US support the Texas school board of education to accept books that teach that Moses was a real person (its mainstream with rabbinical scholars to accept that the events in genesis never happened and that Moses never existed) and that Moses played a fundamental role in creating the USA. Not only is it wrong and religious indoctrination but it is also rewriting the US history and changing it to suit a religious and political aganda. Its like rewriting history so you can remove the slavary the US took part in and then claim it never happened because that part have been edited out.
Cloud Seeker You bet I try my best to tell them that they are wrong and giving my religion a bad name. They are not servants of God, they are horrible creatures that destroy Christianity. By giving Christianity the bad name they're giving it, they are doing Satan's work rather then God's.
Billy Weed so murdering your own unborn baby is okay with you? It is a human being! It doesn’t matter if it is a zygote, embryo, infant, toddler, child, adolescent.......... these are stages of human life. Why is it okay with you to kill a human being? If God is perfect then so is his creation. Who are you to stamp it out? Even if he designed it thru macro evolution he still designed it. Abortion is playing God! That’s okay with you?
Hank actually did a video once for vlogbrothers where he basically said that in his experience, it was easy to stereotype about people based on religious affiliation and telling people his own beliefs would tell them little about Hank the person. It's clear he considers it a personal issue and doesn't wear his beliefs (or nonbeliefs) on his sleeve.
After bipedalism, one of the most important changes was the accumulation of muscle in the gluteus. This allowed us to run quite fast, outpacing predators that were more dangerous on the savanna. There was a documentary I saw that went over this in good detail ("Mankind: Story of All of Us"?) Anyway, it was pretty interesting. It's why you'll notice other apes have scrawny ass muscles.
+fuzzyone99 I think you meant to say that we could out pace our prey, not our predators. We would outrun an antelope until the animal would drop from heat exhaustion. This is because we evolved the ability to sweat and stay cool; while most other animals can run much faster than us, but in short bursts, and need to stop in order to pant and cool down. We are the only animal that can run marathons. When it comes to speed we are one of the slowest animals out there, even dogs, chickens, and rabbits, can outrun us; but mile for mile we are unequaled. A horse can gallop at about 30mph yet after about a mile he starts to overheat and needs to stop in order to pant and cool down. On the other hand, a healthy human can jog or trot at about 5mph but cover a distance between 30 and 50 miles without having to stop.
roner61 Just going to say that Egypt wasnt necessarily the most outstanding ancient civilization. The Mayans and Aztecs were able to build pyramids that were in some cases more intricate than the Egyptians. The Greeks were probably the most scientifically advanced civilization of the ancient era.
I think the reason Africa is the least developed continent in the world is because everywhere else humans were an invasive species. Invasive species always tend to really well. www.fs.fed.us/pnw/invasives/
What is ironic is that your kicking Africa in the teeth for being least-developed makes you like the man who beats up a beautiful woman and then criticizes her for exhibiting trauma and unattractive bruising.

You should do an update video on this, a lot of work has been done in the field since then, especially in relationships between species!
Yes, this video was disappointing. We've learned a whole lot more in the last 4 years, especially with early homo and the australopithecines.
Yes, an update every year would be nice, unless you have time to do one a month. There's nothing we like hearing about so much as ourselves.
At 3:10 - The route through which hominins left Africa is the Bab-el-Mendeb by the Horn of Africa, not by the Suez route. There is no evidence for that. A loop back from Asia to the Middle East is more likely.
uh huh huh huh He said "homo"
I'm sure I heard "Hobo Habilis" at 5:31
"If humans come from apes, why are there still apes?"
If humans came from dirt & ribs, why are there still dirt & ribs? Lol

what if the other 6 species had never gone extinct? Could be the basis for a pretty cool science fiction book! What would history have looked like if we had evolved civilization next to different species so similar to us?
Is impossible, humans kill any competitive specie they meet.
Im pretty sure we are the survivors, we killed all the hominids we met.
roner61 yes yes but that's why it's called science Fiction, not science Real.

Great series/channel. Everything from production, content, and narrative, up (or down) to sarcasm, smooth innuendo, and cheesy jokes. Well done Hank and team.
This was published in 2012. I recall several exciting finds since then. I would very much enjoy a detailed video going over the new additions to the Human family.
Please?
*REPENT!!! Repent and accept the one true god! TALOS!*
Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise!
We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars!
But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."
Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel!
And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit!
The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!
So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine!
For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever!
Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment!
And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man!
Trust in me, TH-cam! Trust in the words of Plato! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
+Plato I love the epic skyrim quote
Aren't you scared the guards will arrest you?
+Plato I used to be an adventurer like you ....
+Tom Reade enough! I will not stand idly by while a dragon burns my hold and slaughters my people.

i vote that we all, all of humanity, go to sleep for 7 million years and allow Merkats to evolve into adorable tiny-ferret-people. Our species will probably clash, killing millions and possibly destroying the world, but they'd be so adorable!
XD
Don't forget about Raccoons. Those things are smart as hell and have opposable thumbs.
Yup. The raccoons get my vote.
so basically a 100k years ago earth was MIDDLE earth
If your saw some of my neighbours, MIDDLE Earth was like... yesterday!
So is there like a Top and bottom Earth too? Why is it called middle Earth?
Lol. I wish we knew how advanced they all were 100k years ago.
neanderthals would sure make some beastly football/rugby players (for anyone un-aware they had waaaaaay denser bones/skeletal structure than us, they could take a hell of a lot harder of a hit)
Though they'd probably be a bunch of intellectuals, since some scientists think they were smarter and more peaceful than us.
Saskia Hadaway
Smarter and more peaceful... we sure showed them!
thatotherguy27 Naturally.
My bones are insanely dense. Small but mighty I also get so tired lmao and just need sleep for 12-16 hours at a time. 🥺
It's kinda sad that people still debate about whether or not humans evolved. It's not a debate anymore, evolution and human evolution is a fact.
I did notice that he emphasized the word "fact" whenever he said it, probably to avoid bringing "debate" on a settled matter
Alex Hansen Evolution is indeed a fact...but how it occurred is a theory. Then again, gravitation is also a theory.
Alex Hansen this is a dumb comment there talking about how they evolved.we know we already evolved is HOW? thats the question
For something to become a theory in science is a big deal.
Shammo Hamid >> a scientific theory isn't a guess. It's a collection of facts and guidelines to understand those facts. It isn't a guess like every mainstreamer think it is. A scientific guess is called a Hypothesis. It's something which is mathematically possible, but is yet to be proven in reality. Cause here's the thing.
Math is also "just" a theory.
Have a nice day

I kind of wish I had gone to a religious school for my high school education. It would have been much easier. My bio class would have been only 2 minutes long, my earth science class, about 1 min long and chemistry about the same length too. "Hello, students, I am your science teacher and the administration, school board and clergy have made sure that you get the best science education on the planet. Please turn to page one in your bible. If you have any questions, the answer is 'God did it'. Test tomorrow. After your test, we will sing some hymns and hold our hands up high while we worship sky daddy, the guy who 'did it'."
But, my parents chose a public school for me to attend so that I could get a proper education. Thanks Mom and Dad.
Lol it's not like that man sorry
Lily Votruba Could you explain your post a bit more for us?
saxmanchiro I'm a Athiest that goes to a private Christian school. I choose to go because of the small classroom size, personalized education and lack of harmful standardized testing. There are a lot more factors that go into choosing where you get you're education then what meets the eye. I choose to educate myself and do my own research because a lot of the public school curriculum is skewed also.
Nate Boltz "public school curriculum is skewed.." Not in sciences. As to the other things you listed re private schools, I understand since I attended one for high school. Just make sure the school is not pushing their particular religious views re science and you are good to go.
Mark, you are one of the most scientifically illiterate people i have had the displeasure of hearing from. Do a little research before spewing your ignorance.
The video forgot to mention Homo idioticus, usually found gracing the comment sections of various websites.
almost forgot about that one

Phrasing matters, SciShow. Especially in topics like evolution. Statements like the one at 7:51 are not helping. Don't say "The only solution was for babies to be born before their brains were fully formed." This implies that our genes are making the decision to give birth earlier as a solution to the large head problem. Not only isn't this true, it also confuses people who are already at a disadvantage in understanding how evolution works.
It sounds like a small thing, but I have made this clarification many times when discussing this topic and you might be surprised at how often it becomes the "lightbulb moment" for people who were unsure about evolution. You might think it's a harmless little verbal shortcut that makes it easier to explain evolution. Trouble is, it ascribes nonexistent motivation (and functionality) to our genes (a strange form of anthropomorphism) and is so obviously logically problematic that even young children spot it. Worse, it creates seeds of doubt in their minds, leaving them susceptible to the non-science of the Creationist crowd.
Instead, say "That meant babies who were born before their brains were fully formed were less likely to die or kill their mothers during childbirth. As more early-birthing mothers survived, they passed that early-birthing trait onto their children until early-birthing women became the norm."
Every time we explain science poorly, we open the door to non-science.
David Haskins this should be top comment! Bothers me too that they don't name the crude thruth behind the evolutionary mechanism
Dude that explanation is exactly the same as the first one. How stupid do you have to be to NEED that explained?
Tyler Baraby Americans...?
plus many animals are born before their brains are fully developed and the human genome project showed all humans are missing a gene that shows up in most primates that give them a strong muscle that come over the top of their heads and connect to the jaw giving them more bite force but also forces the skull to close fully and earlier in life than our own.
Here is my thing if food lead to increase brain size along with being bipedal then manny of our domestic animals who are fed better than in the wild would be showing the same signs especially rabbit and rats as we have been feeding and breeding them along with dog (who are proven to be LESS intelligent than wolves) WOULD ALL show these signs of change even horses would have show signs of this change and there isn't much change at all even with our assistance to say food caused the mutations that started in our brain to lead us to now is stupid I mean I have read about 15 papers on the subject each being like a book in itself and there is no sign that this is even close to accurate. it is just a theory a guess that has no standing but COULD be so but very unlikely it is more likely that aliens gave us our mutations I mean come on just look at the thousands of years of evolution this would have happened to at least one other animal or at least started in another animal . It is more likely that our line started to become more specialized in its DNA and got rid of excess DNA after all many things have more DNA than we do so there is more room to hide traits but more ability to adapt each generation. people are good at creating but without our tools we would be in very select places of the world and would die out quickly do to world changes.
Nicky s there's already been a sci show episode with a possible new discovery of a multiplication of a gene which could be the reason we have higher intelligence, although protein would help fuel a large brain, when you think of all the animals who eat just meat it does not create a pattern of higher intelligence vs those who don't.
Best part of the video for me (10:44) "...some of our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-(...)grandmother spent a crazy night in a cave in Israel" HAHAHAHAHAHA
love your show, just discovered it a few weeks ago and now I'm watching it everyday.
I think a few of you need to understand the difference between fact, theory, law, and hypothesis. A fact is an observation. Like there is water dropping from the sky. A Theory tells us WHAT and WHY. A Law tells us HOW. Facts are just observations.
GRAVITY is a LAW and a THEORY. Not one or the other.
The Law part tells us HOW in MATHs and the Theory part tells us WHAT and WHY.
Theories and Laws are supported by EVIDENCE, EXPERIMENTS, MATHS, and PREDICATIONS.
A Hypothesis is a possibility, an idea. It takes many of the above evidences, experiments, and maths and predictions that come true to solidify something as a theory and as a law.
There are stronger theories and weaker theories. However evolution IS a stronger theory, having been tested more than every other theory.
Some of our strongest theories are: Evolution, Big Bang, Quantum Mechanics, and Gravity.
Evolution IS adaption. It is not one or the other. Being able to see how this adaption happens on smaller scales and then larger scales is truly a beautiful thing.
Many of you have a wall up that does not want to let evolution in. For some of you this is because of pride. For others this is because you truly are not educated on the issue and for others it is because of your religious beliefs.
I recommend researching the issue on the internet about the facts, evidence, experiments, maths, and predictions all supporting evolution.
For example. The LAW of NATURAL SELECTION is a LAW supporting the Theory of Evolution. So is...The LAW of Fossil Succession, DNA, the age of the universe, the age of the Earth, and so much more.
I highly recommend a class in or an internet search on HOW TO READ GENESIS. Most of you are not taught how to properly read the Bible and this is one of the gravest mistakes modern churches have done to the public.
If you have a question, please email me. I'm happy to help. A book of mine of this very topic is called THE ANCIENT GENESIS. I'm more then willing to discuss the religious viewpoint on evolution.
+Ami Blackwelder How much is the book?
Interesting

Not bad for a self-professed "professional goofball".
Silly scientists, obviously Satan put all those bones in the ground to test our faith. And you failed.
Lol, I hope you are being ironic
😂😂😂😂
Sarcasm?
Satan sure did put a lot of bones in the ground and then buried them in different strata also giving them different DNA
Easy now…. We’re not allowed to use science to disprove religions that were written by power hungry humans.
"and... will this be on the final???" HAHA
lmaoo
God i love this show. I feel so smart now. Im gonna be fun at parties. XP
Dammit grandma!!!you just couldn't help yourself ,could you?
Exceptionally long? Not at all. Difficult to summarize the history of humanity. Hank, you are so completely awsome. Keep up the fantastic work SciShow and in the ever so wise words of Bill and Ted; be excellent to each other 👍🏻
The real question is what level did humans evolve, or did we need to be traded to another system.
Reading the comments honestly makes my head hurt. I mean, did you people even attend a bloody school?
They were probably thought creationism in school, I think that they still teach creationism for example on Faroe Islands and I suppose at some places in USA too, but I am not sure about that, either way it's sad that it still happnes. Even the pope now admitted that evolution is true, like come on christians.
Where they teach lies..
Thank you for correctly pronouncing 'neandertals'! You guys are the best.

To steal some creationist logic....
If god made man from dirt, why is there still dirt?
Spartan Films We didn't evolve fast at all. not until recently anyway.
We still aren't evolving fast. Our technology and intelligence as a whole is advancing rapidly, but physically the changes are still very slow.
stlchucko were too stuck on fighting to beable to support a growing eveolving species...hell we might be the reason for our own extinction simply b/c were greedy all for the sake of status and power..everyone wants to be a boss but everyone is a sheep...we care about a piece of paper b/c were told to believe its value wen reality its just a useless piece of paper...but ppl fight and die and cause wars for it......if all of huamnity worked together not only would we be much more advanced...we would further develop due to a increased need for isues that would occur..without war we would probably progressively become more aware..as in more intelligent simply b/c we would be so much more socially pushed for inteligence due to a lack of powerstruggles between different powers...but were at war b/c ppl are morons..and then u have ppl who are smart and see profit in it b/c they like the valueless pieces of paper that have only as much value as we say they do...ooooh shiny..my shiny..and so money was born...
Zach Schmidt What does that have to do with biological evolution or the belief "man came from dirt"?
Even if people fight over trivial things or humans appear determined to end it's own species, it has no bearing on the topic... unless you want to relate it to natural selection; where a species that kills itself won't survive.
Because man is still made of dirt according to science. Better question to you is what is your grate ape grandmothers name?
You should have a cable channel! Everything is clear to understand and very informative. The kids I tutor look forward to viewing your channel every Friday! Keep up the great work!!✌✌😀
Lots of people think that before Darwin everyone a creationist or something. Not at all true. Linnaeus classified all living things accouring to their relationship with others 70 years before Darwin was born because hundreds of years before him naturalists assumed all living things were decneded from a common ancestor. What Darwin did was describe the method in which one species changes to another. Long, long before him everyone knew that they did.
Interesting info about other knowing about evolution before Darwin. I never knew that. Thank you. Take care from Buddhist/agnostic Lee. See you in the next life. Ha ha!
I wish scishow would do a show disproving religion well more to the point creationism
+Ethan McCormack AronRa has a series of videos doing that.
+suicune690 thank you I will check them out. :-)
How can you disprove something that in its very nature is unproveable? Religion is based on faith which is believing without seeing, so there is no proof of it existing and so no proof that it does not.
@@joshgoodman6534 well that's like saying you believe in santa but you can't prove he's real or he is not real.. come on. We all know santa isn't real. The question comes to religious people. Why do you believe in a god in the absence of evidence? Of course there is no evidence god doesn't exist, but why did you even assume that god even exists in the first place?
NotAFoolMan why did we assume that , ? Really !! U didn't even assume that ?! And u really believe that believing in Darwinian macro evolution doesn't require any kind of blind faith?
Neanderthals were always doomed due to having such a small population. There were just not many of them, so being interbred into extinction was inevitable.
I'm here six years later. STILL AMAZING.
I'm afraid to look at the comments. I'm typing this and telling my self not to look. If I look I'll turn into a troll. Ahhhh......
I looked… I looookedddddd......
I'm a Christian and I totally believe evolution is the way all things change in respose to themselves and the environment. Lets be honest, the Bible is a great guidebook to how to find personal enlightenment but what worked 2000 years ago ain't gonna fly today when there are facts. Remember, religion is man made. God is what you see when you look out into the universe.
Would you like an award?
John Mcleavy Sure, a Darwin award would be nice.
What if it worked 3000 years ago and is absolutely verified by modern science?
I guess you can say I believe in intelligent design. I believe that whatever religion one follows is a personal decision and once it becomes forced down anothers' throat, it becomes facism. I was just sharing a thought really with my comment. I really wanna end any topics on religion because like politics, it's all a matter of opinion and anything one way or another will always cause heated debate. It's just good to know we're all here, really.
chris boyd Pantheism is a religious system involving multiple gods and/or goddesses.
I prayed to God that when i clicked this video the comments wouldnt be plagued with religious bickering.
oh, how humanity never fails to disappoint me.
Well I think that is a pretty rock solid case against God. If there shouldn't be any religious bickering on a video like this it can only be a miracle.
You prayed ...nice irony lol ;)
Cloud Seeker Please explain how this is rock solid evidence against God? Also, please do explain exactly how evolution works on a DNA level. How do beneficial random mutations occur in order to add (or scramble) the DNA to create a completely new kind of animal or plant? Please don't add the magic ingredient of millions of years as an answer for evolution to happen. I've never heard a decent answer to this question and I'm just curious of how you think it happens? Everything that is known about DNA changing to create a new kind of animal proves it is mathematically impossible for this to occur.
James Jameson hes joking... please stop..
denying science is only going to look bad on other theists. besides, evolution is not purely for atheists. a majority of christians and other theists believe in it as well.
James Jameson What the fuck are you talking about? When have I talked about evolution? Also as Dante Wynter say, evolution isn't purely something for atheists. All big religions have accepted evolution apart from the backwater denominations of the religion. Evolution denial is pretty much only something you see in the US among fundamentalists and in undeveloped countries where knowledge is overall hard to get.
"will this be on the final" killed me.
I'm here for the angry irrational creationists in the comments. Comedy gold.
Notice this video says facts about evolution? That's because there are scientific facts of evolution. A scientific theory explains facts, such as mutation which causes variation and natural selection which picks successful mutations. The majority of people who believe in God accept evolution, because it describes facts. The Theory explains the facts.
There are NO facts showing human evolution, for example. All the evidence we actually have only shows we are rapidly heading for extinction.
GoodScienceForYou
Actually, there are plenty. I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand them, but that's no reason to spout lies.
Whenever I speak to religious fundamentalists, I try to met them halfway by suggesting they read the Language of God by Francis Collins, the scientists who mapped the human genome and became an Evangelical Christian. If they read his book, at least they'll have a grasp pf the facts of evolution, mutation and natural selection. Detrimental mutations tend to result in miscarriages.
GoodScienceForYou Of course there are no ‘facts’, Science deals with evidence. Surely one of the smartest people alive, that’s you, should know the only people who can outright deal with facts, are Mathematicians, not Biologists.
However, there is a mountain of evidence, for example; a continuous line of hominid fossils that becomes more and more human like, the earlier the fossil is.
Sophie Doon What about the modern Homo Hominid found in Australia?
When it was first discovered they thought they found the missing link. "1000" cc brain capacity depressed skull and all these dumb ass beliefs were triggered.
evolutionforum.info/yabbfiles/Attachments/pintubiangl.jpg

IT IS JUST LIKE ALL THE EXTINCT HOMINIDS THAT DEGRADED AND WENT EXTINCT FROM MUTATIONS.
It amazes me how silly Evodelusionism is. If you have no DNA and you dig up an extinct creature with absolutely no trail of existence after it went extinct, then it is not evidence of any form of evolution.
It fits with all the other DNA evidence we have today on modern humans.
There is only one path of "evolution" and that is we were put here and as time goes on we are destroying our own genetic structures from ignorance.
If you are weak and needy, you will want the fantasy.
If you are a seeker of the Truth, then you only want absolutely irrefutable physical evidence before making any conclusions.
This type of evidence is all around you. Evodelusionists ignore it. That is why it is called living in the darkness of "ignor----ance".
For over 40 years, with the first DNA testing, we have never found any form of evolution. We have well over 1,000,000 DNA studies with upwards of 100,000 deleterious mutations causing us to be weak, need medical and technology to survive. Humans have NEVER improved in any way shape or form.
We are more tribal, separatist, hateful, and make up all sorts of new religions to keep us hating each other. Evodelusionism is the worst religion to ever plague humanity.

If we could revive extinct animals, then could we also do the same for humans ? Like brining back the neathertaler or homo erectus ? Man would that be awesome :D
***** No they died. Some have similiar DNA because they decend from Neatherhals+humans.
***** Because we would know, and the neathertaler ived in Europe and there sure are no ones in europe right now.
***** Haha you are ridicoules. As if there would be neathertales among us...
It's possible to revive species now, but it includes putting the dna from the old specie's remain into a female's eggs and that will be considered inhumane so I doubt they would do that. Plus keeping them alive would be hard too. This chanel has a video about that topic, so watch that if you wanna

If every single creationist learned about physics, geology, and biology as much as i have, probably less than 5% of them would still accept the fairy tale of young earth creation. But we all know they won't do that.

Great video. Should make more this length as you're never boring to watch
Don't mind the annoying creationists who think that their bible is a scientific document.
Also ignore the evolutionists who have no fossils except one which only the pelvis which is curved is their "proof". Lol not like it could've been squished or anything by a boulder.

Every creationist much watch this educational video.
You do realize that some people that believe in the Bible in fact also enjoy the idea of evolution?
Bolt Thief Yes, 34%.
Bolt Thief The bible is bullshit, if you believe it I feel pity for you
Well I was raised to believe it and I enjoy the stories. A lot of stories coincide across cultures. The Bible, the Greeks, and the Romans all have flood myths, creation myths, stories about evil coming into the world, etc. And I feel sorry for people like you who pity those of us who are enjoying a perfectly good life. Don't waste your pity on me.
Bolt Thief If you enjoy the Bible stories for what they are - just stories, you are perfectly fine. I love fiction, too. Lord of the Ring is awesome, for example! If you think, however, that all these stories were based on facts, you're delusional.
This video goes into so much details about human evolution, and the comment section is filled with god-fearing, "evolution is a myth" comments from Neanderthals! oh calamity!
+SciShow You guys can make longer videos any time you like. The short ones kick my ADD in, hard.
I feel so oddly lonely now. ANYONE ELSE WISH WE COULD HANG WITH NEANDERTHALS???
+nmsnerd I know right?.
It'd be so cool! I want there to be other hominid speicies!!!!
+nmsnerd Most Europeans have Neanderthal DNA.
Gooners Rule That is true. I still kinda wish there were other hominids around though. Like, just to be able to see what other species of us are like, you know?
+Gooners Rule (Goonersrule) yep. I've got 4%
But what's the difference between Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens sapiens?
That's just got to do with the whole 'were Neanderthals a different species or not debate'. It's not really important.
Greg. Sym. No, like scientists think we've evolved a bit more, so we're now the subspecies "Homo sapiens sapiens." I'm curious what evidence (if any) there is of the evolution, like what's actually different. Or if there's no actual proof we're different, and it's just a sort of guess.
+gingergamergirl98 That's not what happened. It is suggested by some scientists, because of evidence of inbreeding, that Neanderthals and H. Sapiens are subspecies of the same biological species. If this view is accepted, it would necessitate reclassifying the two groups as subspecies. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens.
Justin Burrows Hm. Curious. My biology teacher said that scientists think that we've changed a bit in the last several thousand years or so. He even had us answer questions on assignments, tests, etc like, "What is the scientific name of humans?" with 'Homo sapiens sapiens'. And we had to say all classifications (like from domain to subspecies) for humans as well, and again we were to say Homo sapiens sapiens. I think he only took off half a point if you said 'Homo sapiens' though.
gingergamergirl98 I, personally, only had to answer with h. Sapiens. I think I may be in a different country though so syllabi are naturally a bit different.
So if an ancient human was hungry and ate a lot it, would they be called a Homo-Hominominom? :)
Lmao.... I think that's a transitional species after Homo Sapien that's commonly seen in Walmart, McDonalds, and All-You-Can-Eat Buffets.
Thanks! That was a great video, the length was just perfect !!

From Darwin's son: "Lady Hope's account of my father's views on religion is quite untrue. I have publicly accused her of falsehood, but have not seen any reply." [15]
From Darwin's daughter: "I was present at his deathbed. Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. The whole story has no foundation whatever.

You should do a follow up video. Its been 7 years and surely this video can be longer now
The comments are almost as entertaining as the video itself.
Ugh. The comments section makes me angry and embarrassed.
I'm a Christian who accepts evolution. AMA.
Yeah, I'm very careful about my phrasing, especially when talking to other Christians. People who believe in a young Earth like to equate evolution with religion, and being familiar with both, I can testify that there's a profound difference between the two.
Thomas Beard You can accept millions of years of Evolution theory as much as you like. There is still no evidence for it.
Karp Calmari It's a common misconception -- I know I used to believe it when I believed in a young Earth -- that the idea that the Earth and universe are billions of years old is only supported by a couple of pieces of evidence, and if you can discount those then there's no evidence whatsoever. This simply isn't the case. Everything attests to the great age of the universe.
It isn't just fossils or radiometric dating, though those are certainly part of it. It's the clear history of plate tectonics on the planet. It's ice cores that record climate information back hundreds of thousands of years. It's all of the meteor craters on the Earth, the evidence of the havoc they've wreaked, and the great apparent age separating them (compare pristine Barringer Crater with the almost completely eroded Vredefort Crater). It's supervolcanoes like Yellowstone and Toba and Taupo and all of their eruptions spanning back millennia. It's volcanic islands that have been building from the deep sea floor and are still building. It's the different states of erosion for different mountain ranges, like the Rockies and the Appalachians, and the ongoing uplift of other ranges like the Himalayas. It's iridium deposits from meteorite impacts and ash from volcanic eruptions and even forest fires that are embedded as layers in the Earth's crust, layers that couldn't possibly have been laid down by any kind of worldwide flood.
It's the genetic ties we have to other species. It's features such as our Chromosome 2 or our inability to produce Vitamin C or our inactivated genes for strong, ape-like jaws that tie our ancestry to African apes. It's the genetic diversity of people in Africa compared to the relative lack of genetic diversity everywhere else outside of it. It's the genetic information we find in other species, like the inactivated genes for producing teeth that we find in birds or the inactivated genes for smelling in the air that we find in whales and dolphins.
For the wider universe, it's not just the expansion of space or the light we see from stars and galaxies millions and billions of light-years away, though those are certainly part of it. It's how we witness the births and deaths of stars. It's the features, like our Local Bubble of space or distant supernova remnants or planetary nebulae, that clearly take a great deal of time to develop and are still developing.
The entire universe screams that it is ancient, that it has deep, deep history.
For a young-Earth believer, two options are available. You either have to demonstrate that all of these events and features were caused by natural processes within 6-10,000 years, and show that all of these processes are consistent with each other, or you have to claim that the Earth and universe were made with the appearance of age. If you choose the former, you have to demonstrate how rapid plate tectonics, dozens or hundreds of supervolcano explosions, and dozens of giant asteroid and comet impacts have taken place without boiling away the oceans and liquifying the crust. If you choose the latter, you have the philosophical problem of defending a God who at once is a God of truth who cannot lie and yet has created the universe to be a deliberate fraud.
It's not just one or two pieces of evidence that you can dismiss with a hand wave. Everything attests to the antiquity of creation. Put another way, if God has created the universe only to look old, then he has put so much effort into deceiving us that it must be very important to him that we believe that it is all billions of years old. In such a case, I think we ought to believe him.
Let me turn your assertion around. You can accept a 6,000-year-old creation as much as you like. There is still no evidence for it. Not a shred of physical evidence that it's only all been here for a few millennia. I challenge you to present data that could only defend your position and no other. And you don't just get to fall back on Genesis 1-3. The church worldwide has been wrong about biblical interpretation too many times (the Earth being flat, the Earth being the center of the universe, God hating the Jews, etc.) for anyone to simply rest upon a specific interpretation of Scripture unexamined.
Thomas Beard None of your fossils or radiometric dating work. They pick and chose when it fits their evolution theory. They never carbon date stuff when they assume a bone is millions of years. And you eat all that shit up. There is no geologic column other than in the textbooks. Of course you're never gonna find humans or mamals in the lowest layers of earth, humans never live there. Fish like and water creatures live at the bottom of the ocean, not reindeer.
I'm not here to prove young earth. It's not thought in schools biology classes. The burden is on the evolutionists where the evolution tale is being thought as science. Just because you can't prove evolution doesn't mean you automatically need another explanation.
Karp Calmari Those are the same old, tired talking points. But they don't reflect reality. Scientists don't pick and choose; they account for everything they can. Because genuine anomalies in evidence lead to discoveries, and discoveries lead to success. Every scientist wants to be the one who finds something that doesn't fit the model, because that's when you make headlines. That's when you get grants. And they do it all the time, they find things they never expected, and evolution still works. Evolution as a theory has lasted this long because it keeps getting upheld in light of new discoveries and evidence.
You can say that fossils don't tell us anything. But they make a pretty solid column. You're never going to find rabbits in the Cambrian. You're never going to find dinosaurs above the KT boundary. Arguing that this arrangement is natural because mammals don't "live at the bottom of the ocean" contradicts the usual young-Earth assertion that the layers we observe were laid down by a worldwide flood. Yes, you should find chaos on the fossil record if all fossils were laid down by a cataclysm. But we don't. We see order in the field.
No side is off the hook for having to provide evidence. Any scientist who is trying to overturn an established idea has to present solid arguments as to why. In my post above, I gave you twenty-something verified observations that attest that the Earth and universe are far older than 6-10,000 years and that life evolves. If you want to say I'm wrong, you have to put in the effort of demonstrating why the examples I've given you don't add up. You don't just get to say someone is wrong and leave it at that. You have to earn it.
Question... Without having the DNA of hominids(Neanderthal not included) and flesh and skin. Is't the fossil record nothing more than just subjective? I mean Hyena's look very much like a canines (dogs) and yet because of genetic understanding, we know they are more closely related felines (cats). Just because the bones of an animal look a lot like another animal doesn't prove they are even related or even came from the same family. Many carnivorous marsupials, like the tasmanian tiger look a ton like a dog based on its bones. But because of an understanding of what they really looked like and genetics, we know that they were in fact not of the same family at all. Without these key elements, how can science know for certain whether we evolved from these animals or not? It seems to me that evolution is based to firmly on evidence that is subject to heavy interpretation and not enough on solid facts.
Fossils and DNA are compared with evolution predictions, if they match evolution still valid.
If you find a fossil, or a DNA result,that contradicts evolution you can say evolution is wrong: not the case at this momment in time.
The only evidence a Creationist needs is something that contradicts evolution predictions...nobody found such thing.
Evolution is getting more and more solid because all whats found matches it,and fills the puzzle, nothing contradicts it.
Well for one thing you are making a statement against Creationism, which I don't see as a solid science either. But I wasn't talking Creationism anyway, I was making a point about macroevolution (change of one animal into another) no real scientist argues changes within a species, this is a fact and it does happen. But as far as it goes there is no such DNA evidence that has been found that shows this has happened, the only evidence might be in the fossils which are subjective and not solid evidence that any lower animal changed into another. It is left up to interpretation. I'm not saying that evolution can't teach us things, I just don't see it as a solid fact that can't fall into some level of scrutiny.
Alma Gordon The scrutiny is continous. There are tons of people all over the world analyzing rocks,dna,fossils,animals,plants..everything.
Paleontologists,Biologists,etc.
But the thing is...what i said before: all that information is supporting evolution and not contradicting it, the "three" of life is getting more complete every day....and points to a common ancestor for all live creatures.

That thing about the Hyenas is not true all three Dogs, Cats, and Hyenas are all in the order of Carnivora but are all in different Familys.
Exceptionally good episode
In this comment section: ppl pretending they know way more shit than they actually do.
Richard 👌 dumb people have enough knowledge to think they’re right, but not enough to know when they’re wrong.
Reading through the comments proves that creationists never fail to make us laugh
If there was 6 diff kinds of humans today, it wouldn't work out.
Well there isn't any different kinds of humans at all right now, there is only 1 kind of human alive right now and that is us. There are different tribes of humans but they are all the same kind of human.
Cloud Seeker Yes, I know that. This is why I started my statement off with the word 'if' as you can see.
Cloud Seeker Hey, never start a statement with I think. Because truly no one cares about what you think, but the majority of peoples think.
kyle krzemien So I am not allowed to state my opinion? What the hell am I to say when I want to state what *I* think? Also I can't care less about what the majority think, just because the majority think someone doesn't make it correct. It was once the majority opinion that the earth was flat and mythological monsters existed in the deep oceans & forests. To just care about what the majority think is a "argument from popularity" fallacy, just because something is popular doesn't make it correct.
Cloud Seeker I was fucking with you lol........
But, really don't saying "I think," cripples everything else you have illustrated to someone. It shows how uninformed you're about the topic you're debating upon, and will hurt you on the side you're defending.
What an awesome video. Another fascinating episode.
I think we all know the real truth... God created us and the world in just 6 days, incredible really.. (incredible that most people today are still stupid enough to believe what I just said...)
Yeah, but then again these also are nothing but theories...
Kenny l They're theories based on evidence and logic, not hocus pocus fairytale
Kenny l
and you obviously don't understand the definition of a scientific theory....
Kenny l Its alright If you get confused cause scientists shouldn't have called it 'theories' but before you talk about something learn the terminology of the subject. Theory is the explanation of lots of facts. So when it gets to the theory stage it is as fact as 'the world is not flat theory'
Human culture existed long before the Genesis story was ever dreamed up.

Not as much as your imagination thinks he does.

There are literally no creationist posts on the front page, yet there are still several commenters explaining to those non-existing creationists how much more intelligent they are then them.
I am a Liberal Secular Christian. I prefer to think of it as sane Christian, but that's just me. I support gay marriage, abortion rights, teaching of evolution and not Creationism, the separation of church and state and of course I believe science. The way i'm capable of believing this is that the earth is as old as science says it is and that God directed the Big Bang, the formation of Earth and the evolution of humans as science describes it. I have a very Liberal interpretation of the Bible in both senses of that word. My reasoning is that while God is perfect, his word transcribed as the Bible was written down very fallible humans. Essentially, i'm saying that the Bible has been changed and altered by humans so much that only a couple of parts are direct quotes from God. That is all, thank you and good night!
Do you know what you should do? If you live in the US you should tell the rest of your people to stop being stupid and stop allowing their religion to dictate your policies. How exactly can anyone from the US support the Texas school board of education to accept books that teach that Moses was a real person (its mainstream with rabbinical scholars to accept that the events in genesis never happened and that Moses never existed) and that Moses played a fundamental role in creating the USA. Not only is it wrong and religious indoctrination but it is also rewriting the US history and changing it to suit a religious and political aganda. Its like rewriting history so you can remove the slavary the US took part in and then claim it never happened because that part have been edited out.
Cloud Seeker You bet I try my best to tell them that they are wrong and giving my religion a bad name. They are not servants of God, they are horrible creatures that destroy Christianity. By giving Christianity the bad name they're giving it, they are doing Satan's work rather then God's.

Billy Weed this just makes you a whole new level of lazy😂
Billy Weed so murdering your own unborn baby is okay with you? It is a human being! It doesn’t matter if it is a zygote, embryo, infant, toddler, child, adolescent.......... these are stages of human life. Why is it okay with you to kill a human being? If God is perfect then so is his creation. Who are you to stamp it out? Even if he designed it thru macro evolution he still designed it. Abortion is playing God! That’s okay with you?
Am I the only one who wonders about Hank's religious beliefs?
I've heard his brother John is a bible nut.
From Wikipedia: "Hank identifies as an atheist, while his brother, John, belongs to the Episcopalian Church."
+Christina Hunt As far as believers go, Episcopalians are pretty mellow.
Hank actually did a video once for vlogbrothers where he basically said that in his experience, it was easy to stereotype about people based on religious affiliation and telling people his own beliefs would tell them little about Hank the person. It's clear he considers it a personal issue and doesn't wear his beliefs (or nonbeliefs) on his sleeve.
As long as he knows and is willing to teach science, I really couldn't care less what he believes.
That's between him and... Whatever.
After bipedalism, one of the most important changes was the accumulation of muscle in the gluteus. This allowed us to run quite fast, outpacing predators that were more dangerous on the savanna. There was a documentary I saw that went over this in good detail ("Mankind: Story of All of Us"?) Anyway, it was pretty interesting. It's why you'll notice other apes have scrawny ass muscles.
+fuzzyone99 I think you meant to say that we could out pace our prey, not our predators. We would outrun an antelope until the animal would drop from heat exhaustion. This is because we evolved the ability to sweat and stay cool; while most other animals can run much faster than us, but in short bursts, and need to stop in order to pant and cool down. We are the only animal that can run marathons. When it comes to speed we are one of the slowest animals out there, even dogs, chickens, and rabbits, can outrun us; but mile for mile we are unequaled. A horse can gallop at about 30mph yet after about a mile he starts to overheat and needs to stop in order to pant and cool down. On the other hand, a healthy human can jog or trot at about 5mph but cover a distance between 30 and 50 miles without having to stop.
Anyone else find it ironic how we evolved in africa and it's the least developed place in the world? (if you don't count Antarctica)
No...those are different things.
BtW the biggest and outstanding ancient civilization was Egypt,in Africa.
But human moved all around the world.
roner61 Just going to say that Egypt wasnt necessarily the most outstanding ancient civilization. The Mayans and Aztecs were able to build pyramids that were in some cases more intricate than the Egyptians. The Greeks were probably the most scientifically advanced civilization of the ancient era.
roner61 Also Sumer was as old as Eqypt!
I think the reason Africa is the least developed continent in the world is because everywhere else humans were an invasive species. Invasive species always tend to really well. www.fs.fed.us/pnw/invasives/
What is ironic is that your kicking Africa in the teeth for being least-developed makes you like the man who beats up a beautiful woman and then criticizes her for exhibiting trauma and unattractive bruising.
