Genitals are the fastest-evolving organs in the animal kingdom. But why is this so? And what’s the point of having decorative private parts? Menno Schilthuizen explains how the evolutionary biology of nature's nether regions uncovers a hidden world of seduction, conflict, and rivalry.
Lesson by Menno Schilthuizen, animation by Mette Ilene Holmriis.
Can we just have some respect for the animator. They had to literally call him up and say we need pictures of a dozen different animal genitalia. And then they had to research it and look it up
Agreed! 😀
totally and they really nailed it!
copious amounts of marijauna had to be involved lollolo
Plot twist: he was Welsh and this was right up his alley
seriously, mad respect !
I'd like to meet the guy who spent his life discovering the wonders of the female genitalia of the flea...

So you’re telling me that ducks actually “screw” each other?
Not really if the female doesnt want to participate. Lol

This is what I love about TED-Ed videos. They cover such a huge range of topics and somehow make each and every one of them interesting and educational. Thank you for these incredible videos!
Thank you :) I am so happy you enjoyed our video. It means a lot!
I honestly think these videos would be a lot more educational than a teacher harping on about the exact same thing for an extra half an hour, don't you?

I knew Duck reproductive systems were messed up, but I thought it was just a weird scenario... Its actually a cool fact that the female can straight up reject the interaction by flexing her body because of its shape
If the info is correct, the animation is wrong. Corkscrew IN, corkscrew OUT.
Also, how "cool" do you find being allowed IN, then she changes her mind??? Kind of nuts, I'd say, or would that be in keeping with being female? If we did that, there would be no human species.
wish our could do that, actually ours seem really underdeveloped compared to other species
@@dinthevoidalspeck2582 Human evolution takes much longer because we live longer lives
@ZaHandle Oh yes we can. We just don't have a lifetime of practice at it so there's a learning curve, but we absolutely can. I often pee standing up when using public restrooms or camping.

I don’t really see the problem here. But ok, I guess I can see where you are coming from with that statement.
TBH the person who sent this topic to them has probably never thought it would be a reality
"most musical penises" Never thought I'd hear those words in my life.

I was always confused by the "arms race" factoid about ducks. This helps explain it a lot better. Wild to think that there is competition for control going on at the biological level.
I thought that was just a fall out boy song lyric

so why is human genitalia so comparatively simple structurally?
Rowan McMullan maybe because females select the best mate via socialisation so they don't need any needless actions to select their males
Rowan McMullan I'm guessing it's because we have a complex social system to distinguish good mates from bad, so theoretically, a bad mate will never end up in your bed in the first place? Obviously this isn't always the case, but we clearly don't go about sex the same way animals do.
Generational shifts are important, the more generations that can shift in a given time, the more things can happen, humans with comparativly long lifespans I gues simply dont mutate as oddly.
*also the other given reasons as per above.
I think it's because we don't mate much and in joung ages so it evolves much slower than the animals who reproduce quickly like insects. Maybe one day our genitalia will be something now unthinkable. Also we decide who to mate with.
Rowan McMullan , human genitalia ARE the most complex when you also count the external abstractions of genitalia to it, like cars, clothes, wallets, etc to it

Ted ed can get pretty weird, my guy
Lessons worth sharing
The narration and animation in this are top-notch. It's fascinating to see the myriad variations of equipment various creatures use to procreate. One of my favorites in clever natural design is that of the lake drake, which not only has a relatively enormous tool for the job, but also bears a brush on said tool's end to whisk away a previous suitor's offering.
Suddenly, 50 shades of gray seems tame in comparison
💀💀
I've never heard this new narrator before. But he sounds good!
Yeah. I heard that some animals have interesting penises and vaginas but now knowing it makes me feel uneasy.
That intro. . . Wow.
I bet the narrator had a blast saying that one 😂

Totally ASMR so?
commenting to see the results when (s)he gets back to you
*comments for ASMR's research*
Well arguably since both sex and masturbation has a lot of physical benefits, particularly the release of numerous chemicals in the brain upon orgasm believed to work as natural anti-depressants, yeah kind of I would think.
My parents walked into my room when I was watching this video.
I clicked out on porn. At least that would be easier to explain.

bed bugs are cancer so they all deserve suffering
Some animals only mate by being forced, it's a normal thing for certain species, we call it coercive mating in nature. That can be seen as a way to stop weak males from spreading their genes, since the female would resist them.
