    Filmmaker Jan van IJken's Becoming reveals the fascinating genesis of animal life. A single cell is transformed into a complete, complex living organism with a beating heart and running bloodstream. Observe the stages of development that occur within an Alpine newt embryo (Ichthyosaura alpestris) in this fascinating six minute time-lapse captured over a three week period.

    After more than six months of filming and countless tweaks, Jan van IJken was able to shrink what would take around four weeks in nature down to just six minutes of otherworldly beauty. If you'd like to learn more, read on here: on.natgeo.com/2DVOnUN

    Amazing how you can see the process of Gastrulation (cells apparently "flowing inside" make up the mesoderm) start at around 1:00 and Neurulation at 1:46 (formation of the neural tube, which will make the central nervous system).
    Human embryos undergo the same processes and are quite similar at early stages of development.

    • @rafas3941
      @rafas3941 2 ปีที่แล้ว +74

      @@mirabelch5439 Cells guide themselves by following migration factors, substances encoded by DNA, as you say. Imagine someone in a room puts perfume on, the closer you get to them, the stronger the smell will be. This works similarly. For example, cells which are supposed to go to the developing heart, and become heart cells, will have receptors for factors that “smell strongest” in the mid thorax.
      So when an organism develops, key structures like the spine or the digestive tube will release these substances locally and cells in migration will guide themselves to their final destination by detecting them.
      It is all about how they play with the intensity of these “smells”, which allows cells to adopt a very specific location.
      For complicated processes like these, there are thousands of genes which are expressed during embryo development and, after birth, never used again.

      @@benjamin4321 there are genes called structural genes, which encode the functional molecules making up the “perfume”. But then there’s also regulation genes, encoding molecules which will determine when, where and for how long the structural genes are expressed.
      These regulating molecules (proteins) act through various mechanisms to silence/activate genes. It is an extremely complex system: a molecule regulates a molecule which in turn regulates others, and so on. The moment when different regulating proteins interact with one another determines the moment when genes are expressed, and thus when different types of “perfumes” (transcription factors, etc) are released.

      however, the cells that would migrate to form the head has to know to travel in only one direction e.g. north instead of dispersing in all direction and stopping at the same radius away from the source. how does the cell know and decide to only send the precursor cells for the head to only ONE direction?

      After watching this you still believe molecules without the ability to 'think' designed and created this process? Science still doesn't understand the complexity of a single cell after 70 years of scientific scrutiny, yet its immensely complex design is still attributed to molecules that do not have 'thoughts'. It took 2,800 scientists from around the world 13 years to map a human genome using intelligence, knowledge, understanding, and intent, yet people still believe dumb molecules designed all the mindbogglingly complex organisms like the Salamander in the video. Think about the most complex object ever discovered, the human brain, how does matter without a mind and therefore incapable of abstract concepts like numbers, emotions, metaphors, and abstract actions, design a brain that can comprehended the abstracts that the matter building the brain does not. This is the paradoxical lunacy that's required to believe in the absurdity of evolution. There is certainty variation within a kind but all life was designed and created by God, not molecules that got bored one day and without the ability to 'think' designed living organisms that are more complex than anything mankind has devised. Evolution requires a faith in dumb mindless molecules that is orders of magnitude greater than any persons faith in God. We understand complexity necessitates an intelligent agent and this is our observations, God has a mind, he is a creator, and designed all of life, within a finely tuned universe, with a complex ecosystem that absolutely requires symbiosis between many living organisms. Only a blinding worldview prevents any rational person from seeing that everything was created by God.

      It actually makes me want to pause the development of the embryo very early on (say when it's at 4 cells), rotate one of the cells (nucleus and all) by 90 degrees, then let it resume developing and see what happens. Would that destroy the embryo? Will it survive but come out all wrong? Will the cell rotate back to its original orientation? Does cell orientation matter at all?
