I freaking love you guys. Babu was spot on about why monkeys are still around despite the fact that we evolved from them. I love how honest he is and he's always making the others laugh.

Babu was partially spot on, although all of the monkeys are still different than their ancestors meaning even they are still evolving. But yeah it was nice to see their reaction to this video. The video they were shown was well done and easy enough to teach someone the basics who might not even heard of evolution.
babu is a very intelligent man. he can see the point in things and catches on to complex concepts quickly. wish more people in this world had his good sense. we would be far better off.
They have a really good grasp of how evolution works, subtle changes over extremely long periods of time, adaptation to different environments and how primates have branched off to become different but similar species like ourselves. Nailed it! 👍
Yes, these are smart people. The only mistake I could make out was the concept that apes are a less evolved predecessor of humans. They developed as well but into a different direction after our species split from a common ancestor.
Very gratified by that. People who scoff at evolution almost unanimously seem to believe scientists are saying, for example, that one day a monkey gave birth to a human, or that a reptile suddenly hatched out of a fish egg. And they'd be *right* to scoff at that, if it was what scientists were actually saying, but it isn't. Unfortunately, even the, "small changes via mutation and natural selection over millions of years" description stumps a lot of people, since it's very challenging to wrap your head around just how long millions of years actually is. I wish there was one very clear and easy to understand lesson on evolution that was taught in every school on Earth, so that we'd all be as close to having the same concept of the subject as possible.

The sparrows in my parent's garden are huge, they're like 150% the size of the sparrows I see in the city. But they've been feeding them excessively for thirty years now. I'd like to believe that over time these sparrows (one generation per year) micro-evolved to the abundance of food.
You are likely correct. Body size is one of the first things to be affected by resource availability. Poor availability leads to multiple, smaller creatures, while abundance allows for larger, fewer creatures. Your parents may not be actually helping, in terms of Nature, as the descendants of these birds in the wild may have a harder time. Meanwhile, as long as people feed birds, perhaps they will become a thing of their own, a sub-type living among us, adapted to us, and will be fine. I don't judge. Nature is neutral to our concerns, but we can think. We are natural creatures, so... Maybe we are the conscience of Nature on Earth.
The wild (or otherwise previously human fed, before your parents) population of birds were likely larger than the average city bird (because smaller populations would have been the ones to eventually move into cities once they were built), but I don't doubt they've contributed a bit to the biggening of one family of sparrows haha.
Humanity is composed many subspecies who compete with eachother for resources. Even academics blind themselves to this fact. I am further diverged from a Chinaman than the difference between Wolves, Dingo and Coyote.
Some are willfully ignorant, but others just don’t understand it, admittedly, it does sound like a pretty outrageous idea if you don’t build up from the basics and are exposed only to the broad ideas first. Understanding the concepts of inheritance, natural selection, evolutionary pressures, mutations, are needed first, that’s how they teach it in school.
IQ is genetically inherited and it's just a fact that an IQ in the bottom 50% of the population just isn't adequate for comprehending something like evolution.

How long does evolution take? For bacteria, it can take a few weeks under controlled conditions. For insects, a few years. For complex veterans, it can take anywhere between a few thousand to a few million years for special to accor. Sometimes it can be sooner depending on the specific species. In 2017, scientists observed a new finch species emerging in real-time.
My understanding it's directly proportional w/ 2 factors - how long the organism lives - the longer, the slower the evolution process, the shorter the faster. And also environmental factors which cause the need to evolve in order to survive. Finches live 10 years - more or less humans live about 77.5 years, by the end of 2024 that's supposed to be raised to 79.25 (in the USA, anyway - I know country to country this varies on many factors). Must be an environmental change - global warming, maybe? Spurring the evolution.

Would be really nice to find some video demonstrating how we all came up from the primordial soup, from munching space rocks at the bottom of the ocean to 'fish', 'to reptiles' to mammals.
Right. I like that they got an informative video. But a more basic explanation of evolution, from the first sparks of life onwards, would be great to show them too. How the concept of genes that are advantageous leads to the wider spreading of those genes, (survival the fittest). The idea that evolution is an ongoing process, and happens everywhere. Still, good that they acquired this knowledge, and their grasps of the basic idea was spot-on. Raeen seeing how crucial Darwin was for the understanding of evolution. I hope more of these videos will follow. Great channel, endearing characters.
the primordial soup is technically abiogenesis. That's a different process from evolution. Abiogenesis is still valid of course, they're two different fields of research.
beginning of carbon based life and the changes in carbon life forms over time are two different things. Bear in mind, that DNA is at it's core a molecule made up of Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. To think that abiogenesis isn't valid is like saying chemistry doesn't work.
Glad to see they got the gist of evolutionary process. Please show them something about concepts of atoms/molecules and how all things are made from these.
I like how babu is so good at fusing science and religion, kinda shows you can accept the facts we see yet still have that faith, i mean for all we know a god could exist that simply makes the base stuff and lets things play out and only fixing actually bad stuff
One of the thing to realize with the Darwin "finches" (technically they aren't finches) is that this separating had led to different SPECIES. ---- There is so much good content on TH-cam. For a starter, look at Forrest Valkai's content.
Awesome video choice! Quite sophisticated too, even. And I'm very impressed of how well the grasped it. The classical creationist question came up: 'If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?' :D And Babu delivered a really good explanation. As I like to put it: Because the world still has space for monkeys. Totally right: It's diversity. Evolution uses its possibilities, and 'human' just isn't the only possibility monkey evolution could go. What seemed to fly a bit over their heads, though, were all the genetical terms. There might still be great potential for an interesting react, to show them a bit more about how genes, DNA, and heredity work.
Best example to start this lesson if you are unfamiliar with it would be to study skin color. Humans that lived in lands with extreme sun developed darkest skin to protect them from the sun. When some people moved to lands with less sun they need less protection from the sun. When people moved to lands with very little sun their skin became very pale or light. This process took thousands and thousands of years or more. All living species on Earth adapt and change to survive where they live or become extinct. Nature changes slowly and gives time for species to change. Humans destroy where animals live and they do not have thousands of years to change. This is why we preserve animal habitats to save them and stop animal extinction.
My bottom wisdom teeth had 4 roots instead of two, it took them awhile to remove. One had already broken from regular chewing. I wonder how modern medicine is helping but also hurting the natural selection process.
I love that you are sharing science videos with them. I do wonder, though, what their understanding of genes and DNA was before this video, as this wasn't the most base level material. I would be very interested to know what biology they have learned, either in school, through books, or through this channel.
Better to explain in terms of animal husbandry, which they would know firsthand from selective breeding of cattle and dogs. Then simply add that nature also exerts selective pressure, it doesn't have to be a human farmer.
Sir, make them watch : -The history of Cold War. -Charles Darwin's biography. -The history of British empire. -Selective breeding. -Health related topics which is useful for them. -How penguin evolved from flying birds. -How whales evolved from mammals.
Leave the Cold War and the British empire out of it. They are delicate subjects and we’d just end up with a low quality short youtube video made by and for Americans and or British.
@@rachelpage6884 Those short videos would make this channel more popular and eventually generate more profit which would be used to fund them traveling to another countries.
please explain to them - or find another video that explains their ancestors stayed in the area they now currently live, resulting in either lighter than their ancestors who came there, or darker skin if their ancestors came from more northern areas, because their skin required less (if it lightened) or more (if it darkened) protection from the sun. but over thousands, likely hundreds of thousands of years. Just as my ancestor's skin lightened to better absorb the meager sun exposure to be able to better make vitamin D. I know that especially Babu was confused by the differences.
also, you asked a very popular question: “if people evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” as far as i am able to understand it, scientists think humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor species who is now extinct. one set of descendants evolved into monkeys and another set into humans. and the descendants who evolved into monkeys continued to become better and better at being monkeys, so they continue to survive alongside of humans today as a matter of fact, i would say that monkeys have become better at being monkeys than humans have become at being human :-)
Humans by direct classification are still monkeys, we're great apes, which are a subset of apes, which are a subset of monkeys, which are a subset of primates, and so on. :)
Homo Sapiens are apes. Apes are basically monkeys without tales. Like gorillas, black apes and us. There are around 20 ape species and over 300 monkey species. Only Homo Sapiens and gorillas are not suited to climb in trees, but genetically, we are closest related to chimpanses. All primates have the same ancestors, so the question why there are still apes when man evolved to Homo Sapiens, makes no sense. And there were parallel apes to us, that evolved into human like apes, like Neanderthals. They are just extinct now.
They aren't Christian or Muslim lol. They're Hindus where they literally have the theory of evolution through their myths as can be seen in the Avatars of Vishnu.
Thank you for this video❣ It is again a good example for the difference between education and intelligence. You saw a new information (education) and you immediately looked at it from all sides and thought about the consequences and what it will implicate (intelligence). 👍 To call people with that behaviour village idiots is mean and you should not call yourself like that. Even not in a joke, because other people will do it without joking.
Babu is very right when it comes to the issue of other species of monkeys/apes. The fact is, we are a single branch of the family that adapted specifically for versatility and intelligence. It took very specific circumstances for that to happen. That isn't to say our cousins are any less evolved. Evolution isn't a linear path toward the things we consider "advanced". A chimpanzee is doing perfectly well at what it does. In short, it's very good at being a chimpanzee, so why be a human?
Humans didn't evolve from monkeys, we just share a common ancestor (as well as with any other living being), but apes are probably the closest animals that we share a common ancestor with. Also, there's a common misconception that evolution means to become smarter through time, which is not the case. Otherwise, bacteria would no longer exist if that were the case. If an animal is well adapted to its environment, it will have less mutations through time that those organisms that are in very unstable environments.
@@martiddy You got a lot wrong, but you are aiming right. Apes are a derived form of monkey, meaning we., too, are a derived monkey. Sharing a common ancestor means we were all once that that creature. That creature diversified, and most of their lineage stayed tree-dwelling, fur-covered monkeys, while our line became more ground-dwelling apes, who became upright walkers, lost our fur, etc.. Evolution does NOT contain the idea of "becoming smarter over time." An organism only gains intelligence if it would help it be better adapted to find food or escape danger, which is why there is an intelligence race in the Animal Kingdom since ancient times, for prey to outsmart predation, before predators outsmart them. An organism well adapted to its environment does NOT have fewer mutations than those in unstable environments. It is that, in a stable environment, mutations may not rise to the level of being helpful, while in an unstable situation, old mutations may suddenly have new value, and seem to "suddenly" emerge, while they have been there for millenia, simply unneeded. I mean no disrespect. One of my minors in college is Biology, and my mother is a professor of Education in Biology.
They make many correct assumptions. Also consider the bird being very diverged small dinosaur, feathers are just very diverged fluffy reptilian scales. So do not consider dinosaurs to be entirely extinct, birds are true and valid group of dinosaurs. No matter how weird it seems, the closest living relative to a bird would be a crocodyle (crocodyle not being true dinosaur, but related group - "cousin").
I watched a group of Muslim guys watching a video on evolution once. Most of them were fascinated, but the Imam said "this is dangerous to our religion". My view is this...if your beliefs are undone by provable facts then you should rethink your beliefs, not dismiss the facts. Many Christians believe the world has only existed for 6,000 years despite all the proof to the contrary. As they say, "ya can't teach stupid ". These guys are sponges who soak up information and welcome knowledge. Knowledge is power and power builds civilisation. Ignorance stands still. 🖖🏽❤🇬🇧
@@lbell9695 yes. Hinduism is quite fascinating. There are theories that judging by the descriptions and actions in the stories that the hindu Gods were aliens fighting for control of the earth. It's fascinating stuff and I would go so far as to say maybe even more believable than christianity or Islam who believe in an invisible being that had no basis or proof. I'm an atheist and rely on proof and science, but I'm also open minded and willing to rethink when someone presents me with new information. 🖖🏽live long and prosper
What this didn't do was to explain the single species origin, which it claimed at the start. It would be good to show them something that proved the development of life via the examination of the DNA fingerprint and species development now they have this broad overview.
Im sorry to say it, but the logic behind evolution is plain to see, and the villagers grasped it immediately. They are smarter than people who are well- educated and deny evolution for religious reasons. The latter I never understood cos Genesis spells it out for us anyway...
99% of western academics deny that speciation has occured within the modern homo genus, despite the fact that different human races are further diverged than different canine species like Wolf, Dog, Coyote and Dingo. If a dingo is its own species, why not an aboriginal also their own species? I will tell you why: POLITICS AND DOGMA.
@@lamaglama6231 Since science refutes any non-evolutionary discourse, how can it produce any papers refuting evolution? No, it's not religious either as creation - such as it is understood by creationists - is as bogus as evolution.
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 I know it is impolite to answer with a question, but let me do it nevertheless. How long, in your opinion ,would it take - according to the evolutionary theory - for one species to evolve into another? I know I am extremely oversimplifying now, but just for the sake of the arguent let's use those oversimplifications, to make matters easier: how long would it take evolution to transfer an ape (or, if you prefer, the common ancestor of apes and humans) into a human (by which I mean homo sapiens)?
i would like to tell the villagers about a phenomenon people have been talking about here in the united states - that the more a person learns and becomes smarter, the more he understands how little he knows and how stupid he is. only a fool thinks he knows everything and is wiser than everybody else today this is called the dunning-kruger effect, but i think wise people realized it long ago :-) :-) :-) never stop learning!
Here’s a question for you guys. Do you have the sound on at the same level that you watch other videos, even tho you don’t understand their language. I keep turning it up if the sound is too low then I tell myself “what are you doing, you don’t understand them anyway?.”
Yes. And also interesting was how Babu combined both his belief of god and the fact of evolution, when he explained to Raeen how a certain breed of monkeys was "blessed" to evolve into humans, while the other monkey breeds stayed the same. Here is hoping that that they will get a video that will explain that question: Why did so many species stayed apparently the same over the same long time-span? A video that will show that humans are still evolving, how the various regions where people life form their morphology and other adaptation (People high in the mountains can do with less oxygen, etc.)
@@Blackhole-TON618 It is both a theory and a law. The law of gravity calculates the amount of attraction while the theory describes why objects attract each other in the first place.
@@0101tuber similarly, the laws of biology show that living organisms must be changing over time somehow (shown by things like the fossil record), and our current theories of evolution describe how this happens very well (through mutation and natural selection).
Nice video, it did give me a chuckle when they started talking about the monkeys as if some didn't evolve. Those monkeys as well as apes they see today are not the same as their ancestors.
This video isn't a very good on for explaining evolution honestly. there is no "micro" or "macro," it's JUST evolution. The difference is just in time frames, but those fames can be anywhere from 10,000 years to 3 billion years. And even then, evolution can also result in changes or reorganization of ones organs. Spleen, gall bladder, wisdom teeth, and appendix are useless organs that we no longer need because the food we eat is healthier and more processed than our cave dwelling ancestors had. You can lose all of these organs, and still lead a normal life and lifespan. Vestigial organs/limbs/bones are the biggest pieces of evidence for evolution among other things.
Babu has to realize that when you talk about science you have to leave your faith outside the conversation. Evolution in and of itself disproves religious explanations of how humans came to be and saying "God blessed some monkeys to evolve and others not to evolve" is just so very wrong. Every species on the planet right now is the result of hundreds of thousands or millions of years of evolution and every species is continuing to evolve, those that don't keep up with their rapidly changing environments will go extinct and most of those extinctions are a direct result of human activity, global warming being the major factor.
Sure, but where would we be if everyone thought the same way or believed the same things? It's the process of not following a script that has brought us to know all that we do. For his age and the culture he was born into and has lived his whole life in, one that lives surrounded by religion, he's quite evolved himself❤
@@missmee7210 Well, in India if you don't think the same way or believe the same things as the Hindu church, which is a 4th Branch of Government making it a Nationalist country, then you're a 2nd class citizen. Practicing a religion IS a script, a set of rules you have to follow, one of those rules is to disregard the scientific evidence that debunks and contradicts religious beliefs and claims.
@@missmee7210 All I'm saying is that the more science he learns the less he's going to attribute things he doesn't understand now to a god. Saying things like "god blessed certain monkeys to evolve" is called the God Of The Gaps fallacy, it's simply not true, it doesn't respect science, it's an argument based on presupposition. In order to understand science, not misinterpret it as Babu did, you can't go into a scientifically educational video with the mindset of a theist, it defeats the purpose. And yeah, Babu is an amazing guy, but he assumes too much based on his faith and it skewers his understanding, his faith is hurting his ability to learn and that's not a good thing.
I hope I can explain something for the boys: they were speaking about the monkeys and humans, and how some monkeys evolved into humans while others did not. The truth is that all current monkey species and humans evolved from common ancestors. Monkeys did not turn into humans, as the current humans and monkeys all came from an older ancestor. Also, I hope the boys take advantage of the income from this channel and go to school: it opens so many doors!
Evolution is a fact. There are few things in this world that have better and clearer evidence to support it. A theory is the best explanation science can develop to explain facts like evolution. So, there is indeed both the Fact of evolution and a Theory of Evolution. Information and evidence are readily available should you be willing to look past your preconceptions.
Scientific theory isn't the same as non-scientific theory. Non-scientific theory: the word "theory" often means an untested hunch, or a guess without supporting evidence. Scientific theory: has nearly the opposite meaning. A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts.
@@philbarrows2431 it was never made a fact. You can push the narrative all you want to but there’s been no proof of one species becoming another. The Cambrian explosion proves that. Scientific theory is nothing more than a best guess.
How long do you want the videos to be? The understand the dating of fossils, geographic layering, species migration and who knows what else, would be very involving. The good thing is, for anyone curious enough to understand the evidence, or proof as you put it, all the information is readily available.

It is frustrating. I keep hoping that they will work with a science educator to identify a progression of high-quality videos on a variety of topics so that as their knowledge base increases, they get ones with added complexity.

Excellent video! Excellent reaction! Big thumbs up!
Would be really nice to find some video demonstrating how we all came up from the primordial soup, from munching space rocks at the bottom of the ocean to 'fish', 'to reptiles' to mammals.
Right. I like that they got an informative video. But a more basic explanation of evolution, from the first sparks of life onwards, would be great to show them too.
How the concept of genes that are advantageous leads to the wider spreading of those genes, (survival the fittest).
The idea that evolution is an ongoing process, and happens everywhere. Still, good that they acquired this knowledge, and their grasps of the basic idea was spot-on. Raeen seeing how crucial Darwin was for the understanding of evolution.
I hope more of these videos will follow. Great channel, endearing characters.
the primordial soup is technically abiogenesis. That's a different process from evolution. Abiogenesis is still valid of course, they're two different fields of research.
beginning of carbon based life and the changes in carbon life forms over time are two different things. Bear in mind, that DNA is at it's core a molecule made up of Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. To think that abiogenesis isn't valid is like saying chemistry doesn't work.
@@tubularap 100%. I made the same comment before I saw yours.
Glad to see they got the gist of evolutionary process. Please show them something about concepts of atoms/molecules and how all things are made from these.
I like how babu is so good at fusing science and religion, kinda shows you can accept the facts we see yet still have that faith, i mean for all we know a god could exist that simply makes the base stuff and lets things play out and only fixing actually bad stuff
One of the thing to realize with the Darwin "finches" (technically they aren't finches) is that this separating had led to different SPECIES.

There is so much good content on TH-cam. For a starter, look at Forrest Valkai's content.
What an excellent video to show them! Well done!
Awesome video choice! Quite sophisticated too, even. And I'm very impressed of how well the grasped it. The classical creationist question came up: 'If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?' :D And Babu delivered a really good explanation. As I like to put it: Because the world still has space for monkeys. Totally right: It's diversity. Evolution uses its possibilities, and 'human' just isn't the only possibility monkey evolution could go.
What seemed to fly a bit over their heads, though, were all the genetical terms. There might still be great potential for an interesting react, to show them a bit more about how genes, DNA, and heredity work.
Best example to start this lesson if you are unfamiliar with it would be to study skin color. Humans that lived in lands with extreme sun developed darkest skin to protect them from the sun. When some people moved to lands with less sun they need less protection from the sun. When people moved to lands with very little sun their skin became very pale or light. This process took thousands and thousands of years or more. All living species on Earth adapt and change to survive where they live or become extinct. Nature changes slowly and gives time for species to change. Humans destroy where animals live and they do not have thousands of years to change. This is why we preserve animal habitats to save them and stop animal extinction.
I just adore these gentlemen - so smart! Best of greetings from a random person in Norway
10:26. I have always wondered the same thing Raeen
10:26 is the end of the video...?
You know here's a thought if the villagers these guys right here could react to this the SCP universe when they should watch SCP videos
These villagers are smarter than some people in the West with an education and college degree.
Another modern example is me! I was born with only 3 wisdom teeth 😂.
I was born with a rare chromosome disorder. geneticists have never seen my type yet.
My bottom wisdom teeth had 4 roots instead of two, it took them awhile to remove. One had already broken from regular chewing. I wonder how modern medicine is helping but also hurting the natural selection process.
@@TechNextLetsGo I only have one half erupted wisdom tooth and its like a fang. Other 3 no room to erupt lol.
Excellent presentation about forces driving evolution. The gentlmen noted the one thing the animation failed to emphasize, deep time.
I love that you are sharing science videos with them. I do wonder, though, what their understanding of genes and DNA was before this video, as this wasn't the most base level material. I would be very interested to know what biology they have learned, either in school, through books, or through this channel.
I believe that GOD created all things. Nothing remains the same we are always growing and moving forward..
Even the Catholic church accepts evolution now
That's cute. The catholic church accepts anything that makes them money now.
@@NatPat-yj2or not as much as the US evangelical "churches" which are basically tax fraud schemes
The gentlemen got it!
I love your song! Beautiful.
Better to explain in terms of animal husbandry, which they would know firsthand from selective breeding of cattle and dogs. Then simply add that nature also exerts selective pressure, it doesn't have to be a human farmer.
Sir, make them watch :
-The history of Cold War.
-Charles Darwin's biography.
-The history of British empire.
-Selective breeding.
-Health related topics which is useful for them.
-How penguin evolved from flying birds.
-How whales evolved from mammals.
Leave the Cold War and the British empire out of it. They are delicate subjects and we’d just end up with a low quality short youtube video made by and for Americans and or British.
@@rachelpage6884 Those short videos would make this channel more popular and eventually generate more profit which would be used to fund them traveling to another countries.
patronizing series
you should show them a timelapse of human evolution
please explain to them - or find another video that explains their ancestors stayed in the area they now currently live, resulting in either lighter than their ancestors who came there, or darker skin if their ancestors came from more northern areas, because their skin required less (if it lightened) or more (if it darkened) protection from the sun. but over thousands, likely hundreds of thousands of years. Just as my ancestor's skin lightened to better absorb the meager sun exposure to be able to better make vitamin D. I know that especially Babu was confused by the differences.
oh WAY longer than centuries my friend :3
It would be awesome if they react to the 2014 Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey episode about evolution, "Some of the Things That Molecules Do".
also, you asked a very popular question: “if people evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?”
as far as i am able to understand it, scientists think humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor species who is now extinct. one set of descendants evolved into monkeys and another set into humans. and the descendants who evolved into monkeys continued to become better and better at being monkeys, so they continue to survive alongside of humans today
as a matter of fact, i would say that monkeys have become better at being monkeys than humans have become at being human :-)
Humans by direct classification are still monkeys, we're great apes, which are a subset of apes, which are a subset of monkeys, which are a subset of primates, and so on. :)
Homo Sapiens are apes. Apes are basically monkeys without tales. Like gorillas, black apes and us. There are around 20 ape species and over 300 monkey species. Only Homo Sapiens and gorillas are not suited to climb in trees, but genetically, we are closest related to chimpanses.
All primates have the same ancestors, so the question why there are still apes when man evolved to Homo Sapiens, makes no sense.
And there were parallel apes to us, that evolved into human like apes, like Neanderthals. They are just extinct now.
No way these 3 believe in evolution. I can only imagine what they said to each other off camera!
They aren't Christian or Muslim lol. They're Hindus where they literally have the theory of evolution through their myths as can be seen in the Avatars of Vishnu.
@@lbell9695 The two guys to the left are hindus, and the guy to the right is muslim.

Thank you for this video❣ It is again a good example for the difference between education and intelligence. You saw a new information (education) and you immediately looked at it from all sides and thought about the consequences and what it will implicate (intelligence). 👍 To call people with that behaviour village idiots is mean and you should not call yourself like that. Even not in a joke, because other people will do it without joking.
good more stuff like this please.
if you can... show them prehistoric documentaries.
I love Babu.
Babu is very right when it comes to the issue of other species of monkeys/apes. The fact is, we are a single branch of the family that adapted specifically for versatility and intelligence. It took very specific circumstances for that to happen. That isn't to say our cousins are any less evolved. Evolution isn't a linear path toward the things we consider "advanced". A chimpanzee is doing perfectly well at what it does. In short, it's very good at being a chimpanzee, so why be a human?
Plenty of people with a high school education or better still don't get this, so I'm really impressed with Babu this time as well.
Humans didn't evolve from monkeys, we just share a common ancestor (as well as with any other living being), but apes are probably the closest animals that we share a common ancestor with. Also, there's a common misconception that evolution means to become smarter through time, which is not the case. Otherwise, bacteria would no longer exist if that were the case. If an animal is well adapted to its environment, it will have less mutations through time that those organisms that are in very unstable environments.
@@martiddy You got a lot wrong, but you are aiming right. Apes are a derived form of monkey, meaning we., too, are a derived monkey. Sharing a common ancestor means we were all once that that creature. That creature diversified, and most of their lineage stayed tree-dwelling, fur-covered monkeys, while our line became more ground-dwelling apes, who became upright walkers, lost our fur, etc..
Evolution does NOT contain the idea of "becoming smarter over time." An organism only gains intelligence if it would help it be better adapted to find food or escape danger, which is why there is an intelligence race in the Animal Kingdom since ancient times, for prey to outsmart predation, before predators outsmart them.
An organism well adapted to its environment does NOT have fewer mutations than those in unstable environments. It is that, in a stable environment, mutations may not rise to the level of being helpful, while in an unstable situation, old mutations may suddenly have new value, and seem to "suddenly" emerge, while they have been there for millenia, simply unneeded.
I mean no disrespect. One of my minors in college is Biology, and my mother is a professor of Education in Biology.
I think we evolved from Big Foot!
So good that they don't see the theory of evolution as a threat to their religious beliefs.
They make many correct assumptions. Also consider the bird being very diverged small dinosaur, feathers are just very diverged fluffy reptilian scales. So do not consider dinosaurs to be entirely extinct, birds are true and valid group of dinosaurs. No matter how weird it seems, the closest living relative to a bird would be a crocodyle (crocodyle not being true dinosaur, but related group - "cousin").
As tis said, animals never evolve out of their clade. We humans are great apes, are primates, are mammals, etc. and essentially are fish.
I watched a group of Muslim guys watching a video on evolution once.
Most of them were fascinated, but the Imam said "this is dangerous to our religion".
My view is this...if your beliefs are undone by provable facts then you should rethink your beliefs, not dismiss the facts.
Many Christians believe the world has only existed for 6,000 years despite all the proof to the contrary.
As they say, "ya can't teach stupid ".
These guys are sponges who soak up information and welcome knowledge.
Knowledge is power and power builds civilisation.
Ignorance stands still.

Hindus have the theory of evolution through their myths as can be seen in the Avatars of Vishnu. It's actually quite fascinating.
@@lbell9695 yes. Hinduism is quite fascinating.
There are theories that judging by the descriptions and actions in the stories that the hindu Gods were aliens fighting for control of the earth.
It's fascinating stuff and I would go so far as to say maybe even more believable than christianity or Islam who believe in an invisible being that had no basis or proof.
I'm an atheist and rely on proof and science, but I'm also open minded and willing to rethink when someone presents me with new information.
🖖🏽live long and prosper
Didn't mention human evolution, I wonder if these guys would believe that too.
What this didn't do was to explain the single species origin, which it claimed at the start. It would be good to show them something that proved the development of life via the examination of the DNA fingerprint and species development now they have this broad overview.
Im sorry to say it, but the logic behind evolution is plain to see, and the villagers grasped it immediately. They are smarter than people who are well- educated and deny evolution for religious reasons. The latter I never understood cos Genesis spells it out for us anyway...
99% of western academics deny that speciation has occured within the modern homo genus, despite the fact that different human races are further diverged than different canine species like Wolf, Dog, Coyote and Dingo. If a dingo is its own species, why not an aboriginal also their own species? I will tell you why: POLITICS AND DOGMA.
They have a pretty good (though basic) knowledge now about evolution that never happened (at least on the macro level). 🙂
Can you point me to scientific papers refuting macro evolution or is this some kind of religious coping?
@@lamaglama6231 Since science refutes any non-evolutionary discourse, how can it produce any papers refuting evolution? No, it's not religious either as creation - such as it is understood by creationists - is as bogus as evolution.
@@thelyricologist9568Ok, if it's neither science nor religion I wonder where you get the idea / information from?
@@thelyricologist9568 Why is evolution a bogus concept?
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 I know it is impolite to answer with a question, but let me do it nevertheless. How long, in your opinion ,would it take - according to the evolutionary theory - for one species to evolve into another? I know I am extremely oversimplifying now, but just for the sake of the arguent let's use those oversimplifications, to make matters easier: how long would it take evolution to transfer an ape (or, if you prefer, the common ancestor of apes and humans) into a human (by which I mean homo sapiens)?
This is not explained to them so they can understand it. This could he been done much better.
Show them the qncient Imdian Athetist philosophy schools.
THis is the kind of knowledge that i would like to see them learn.. destroying their ignorance is how you will help them and their people.
i would like to tell the villagers about a phenomenon people have been talking about here in the united states - that the more a person learns and becomes smarter, the more he understands how little he knows and how stupid he is. only a fool thinks he knows everything and is wiser than everybody else
today this is called the dunning-kruger effect, but i think wise people realized it long ago
:-) :-) :-) never stop learning!
I am not pleased that these villagers are being fed untruths disguised as truth. That is not the act of a friend.
What here is untrue?
Here’s a question for you guys. Do you have the sound on at the same level that you watch other videos, even tho you don’t understand their language. I keep turning it up if the sound is too low then I tell myself “what are you doing, you don’t understand them anyway?.”
They're listening to a translation in their language but playing the English version for the viewers.
You have made the Atheists very happy with this presentation of theory as fact.
Yes. And also interesting was how Babu combined both his belief of god and the fact of evolution, when he explained to Raeen how a certain breed of monkeys was "blessed" to evolve into humans, while the other monkey breeds stayed the same. Here is hoping that that they will get a video that will explain that question: Why did so many species stayed apparently the same over the same long time-span? A video that will show that humans are still evolving, how the various regions where people life form their morphology and other adaptation (People high in the mountains can do with less oxygen, etc.)
Gravity is also referred to as a theory, and evolution is not an idea purely entertained by atheists.
@@Blackhole-TON618 It is both a theory and a law. The law of gravity calculates the amount of attraction while the theory describes why objects attract each other in the first place.
@@0101tuber similarly, the laws of biology show that living organisms must be changing over time somehow (shown by things like the fossil record), and our current theories of evolution describe how this happens very well (through mutation and natural selection).
@@Blackhole-TON618 As surprising as it may seem to some, Evolution and Creation are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Nice video, it did give me a chuckle when they started talking about the monkeys as if some didn't evolve. Those monkeys as well as apes they see today are not the same as their ancestors.
This video isn't a very good on for explaining evolution honestly. there is no "micro" or "macro," it's JUST evolution. The difference is just in time frames, but those fames can be anywhere from 10,000 years to 3 billion years. And even then, evolution can also result in changes or reorganization of ones organs. Spleen, gall bladder, wisdom teeth, and appendix are useless organs that we no longer need because the food we eat is healthier and more processed than our cave dwelling ancestors had. You can lose all of these organs, and still lead a normal life and lifespan. Vestigial organs/limbs/bones are the biggest pieces of evidence for evolution among other things.
Agreed
Hundreds and Thousands of Millions of years.
@BarkrekObarkma Ok thanks Jesus 🤣
quik
Too complicated!
Babu has to realize that when you talk about science you have to leave your faith outside the conversation. Evolution in and of itself disproves religious explanations of how humans came to be and saying "God blessed some monkeys to evolve and others not to evolve" is just so very wrong. Every species on the planet right now is the result of hundreds of thousands or millions of years of evolution and every species is continuing to evolve, those that don't keep up with their rapidly changing environments will go extinct and most of those extinctions are a direct result of human activity, global warming being the major factor.
Sure, but where would we be if everyone thought the same way or believed the same things? It's the process of not following a script that has brought us to know all that we do. For his age and the culture he was born into and has lived his whole life in, one that lives surrounded by religion, he's quite evolved himself❤
@@missmee7210 Well, in India if you don't think the same way or believe the same things as the Hindu church, which is a 4th Branch of Government making it a Nationalist country, then you're a 2nd class citizen. Practicing a religion IS a script, a set of rules you have to follow, one of those rules is to disregard the scientific evidence that debunks and contradicts religious beliefs and claims.
@@ll7868 but he's showing respect for both things despite being raised in a place where that's not necessarily taught or wanted. He's wonderful.
@@missmee7210 All I'm saying is that the more science he learns the less he's going to attribute things he doesn't understand now to a god. Saying things like "god blessed certain monkeys to evolve" is called the God Of The Gaps fallacy, it's simply not true, it doesn't respect science, it's an argument based on presupposition. In order to understand science, not misinterpret it as Babu did, you can't go into a scientifically educational video with the mindset of a theist, it defeats the purpose. And yeah, Babu is an amazing guy, but he assumes too much based on his faith and it skewers his understanding, his faith is hurting his ability to learn and that's not a good thing.
@@ll7868 well said. To all of your points.

Mmmmmmm... Now replace all the birds in this video with human migration, gen migration, and look at it from a human perspective....hummmmm....
I hope I can explain something for the boys: they were speaking about the monkeys and humans, and how some monkeys evolved into humans while others did not. The truth is that all current monkey species and humans evolved from common ancestors. Monkeys did not turn into humans, as the current humans and monkeys all came from an older ancestor.
Also, I hope the boys take advantage of the income from this channel and go to school: it opens so many doors!
We aren't even monkeys, but apes. But that could be a translator problem.
Apes have no tails, like gorillas, chimpanzees and us.
Babu has no idea what is going on
Please show them a video about ethnicity and skin color difference
So there are only two choices, creation or evolution? WOW! That's incredible!!![sarcasm!]
all things flow in accordance to the dao
So evolution was never proven. It’s still just a theory. Stop passing this as if it’s a fact.
Evolution is a fact. There are few things in this world that have better and clearer evidence to support it. A theory is the best explanation science can develop to explain facts like evolution. So, there is indeed both the Fact of evolution and a Theory of Evolution. Information and evidence are readily available should you be willing to look past your preconceptions.
Scientific theory isn't the same as non-scientific theory. Non-scientific theory: the word "theory" often means an untested hunch, or a guess without supporting evidence. Scientific theory: has nearly the opposite meaning. A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts.
@@philbarrows2431 it was never made a fact. You can push the narrative all you want to but there’s been no proof of one species becoming another. The Cambrian explosion proves that. Scientific theory is nothing more than a best guess.

i am sorry, but you guys pick the most unsuited vids to show these folks afaiac. use vsauce, alpha phoenix, veritassium, planet earth(attenborough) and some such on these subjects.
It is frustrating. I keep hoping that they will work with a science educator to identify a progression of high-quality videos on a variety of topics so that as their knowledge base increases, they get ones with added complexity. I suspect that they might not know enough themselves to differentiate between the best, most up-to-date videos, at the right level, produced by highly reputable sources, and others that aren't as well researched.
