With our current understanding of evolutionary history and our strategy of cladistic naming, if we wanted to have both goldfish and sharks under a single group called "fish", then mammals must also be called fish.
Thanks also to our Patreon patrons / minuteearth and our TH-cam members.

- Monophyletic group (or clade): a group of organisms that consists of all the descendants of a common ancestor
- Paraphyletic group: all of the descendants of a common ancestor minus one or more monophyletic groups
- Similarity trap: people can name different species the same thing, only to find out they aren’t even closely related. We made a video about this phenomana: • The Similarity Trap

Small brain: whales are fish because they look like fish

I spent a hole day classifying the whole tree of Animalia to the uneven levels I was interested to (depending on clades) for a project. I wrote a Python script to help me with that: I write the name of a clade and all its divisions, then I repeat for each one of those I wanted. From worms to mussels, from shrimps to lions, from spiders to primates, I got a total of 275 entries all organised in a branch up to the 15th level of cladistic division.
The next day, I discover _"Tree of life explorer"..._

In German it's even linguistically correct to (literally translated) say "whale fish" for whale, because they were named before we knew they're mammals.
Nowadays most people stick to "whale" without adding "fish", but in older texts (and that means only about 50 years old!) the expression "whale fish" can still be found regularly.
Or in SpongeBob, as in Walfischdreck 😅😉
i figure a lot of languages do the same
in vietnamese, we call whale "cá voi", and each individual element of the word: "cá" means "fish" & "voi" means "elephant" (cuz they are both big and we dont have a specific word for the concept of a [whale] before we had the concept of elephant)
When I realised we were reverse submarines, carrying our water with us to get on land, that made me think of scuba diving as a strange doubled scenario.
water carrying a body that carries water, that carries body parts, which also carry water, which carry smaller body parts, which also carry water, which carries singular cell organisms, which also carry water, which carries singular atoms.

Nope. Only cool people will become gyrados.
Nein Shubin's "Your inner fish" - fantastic book!
The paraphyletic (non-monopyletic) grouping is hardly ever useful, it may work for one feature but when you take the less obvious stuff in the account, the monophyletic grouping makes always much more sense.
That Tree of Life app is awesome! I was actually looking for something like that a couple of months ago and couldn't find anything!
Will definitely play around with it soon.

God damn it MinuteEarth, I didn't need this existential crisis right before my midterms.
Have you guys ever heard of the phylogeny explorer project?
I see, I am not the only one who knows Aron Ra
Another way to explain it, in a way I find more confincing, is :
- Technically, mammals are reptiles, just weird ones
- Technically, reptiles are amphibians, just weird ones
- Technically, amphibians are fishes, just weird ones
So, mammals are just really really weird fishes, but still fishes
All of the living reptiles(crocodilians, birds, turtles, rhynchocephalians, and lizards including snakes) form a perfectly valid monophyletic clade without including mammals. All of the living amphibians(frogs, salamanders, and caecilians) also form a perfectly valid clade without including the amniotes(mammals and reptiles). As such, while mammals must be fish in order for the grouping to be valid, mammals do not have to be reptiles or amphibians.
Another funny thing with Cladistics- Birds are reptiles. Crocodiles are closer related to birds than to lizards and snakes!
Basically-
Fish->Tetrapods-> Reptiles-> Birds
So all birds are both Reptiles and Fish according to cladistics!
There are still some evolutionary similarities we have in common with fully aquatic fish that we would normally only associate with aquatic fish. For one, we retain three of our gill arches that have evolved to be used as the auditory bones within our ears. Go further up the evolutionary tree and you’ll find your (as well as all other jawed vertebrates) mandibular component of the jaw as being a derived gill arch as well, which is still found in agnathan fish like lampreys for instance.
Every human is a fish ?

I actually knew this. I want to become a paleontologist when I get older, so I often watch videos about evolution, and once I came across a video that was about human evolution, and in that video was shown every single known acestor of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, including the earliest ancestor known, wich was actually a fish from the Paleozoic era!
MinuteEarth: You are a Fish
Me: **snorts water**
Me: what the -fuck- *_frick_*
Pretty much all life on Earth is interconnected and we are gifted with the intelligence to realize it.
But we waste that intelligence on nation-states, tribalism and ethnocentrism.
...So are you gonna do something about it, then?
This comment on a video about clade-centrism.
Heck yeah, always wanted to be able to breath underwater.
No wait, this is a technicality like how birds are dinosaurs.
Fun fact! Not all fishes can breathe in water! And this isn't a technicality, either - lungfishes* are obligate air breathers and can actually drown if they're unable to access air in time
*Specifically lungfish of the order Lepidosireniformes. The Australian lungfish, on the other hand, can breathe in both water and air.
love how easy this video is to understand. it explains science so well.
This isn't science. Science requires observation, making a theory, then testing it. ....Evolution was never tested successfully. Every single genetic experiment, you just get different strains of the same creature, be it mice, or cattle, or plants, or e-coli. The Miller Urey experiment produced life-destroying tar, and proved that you could not force amino acids to bind, much less to form a structure more complex than the computer you are using right now.
okay please don't get to offended or angry and if you are I would like to apologise. I just wanted to express how this channel has helped me understand so much more about who we are and the things around us. But thank you for explaining and taking your time to reply. 😃@@vanivanov9571

That's akward. I definitely don't know anyone who would say sharks are fish in Portuguese.
Video wasn't making sense for me, but TIL how English speakers treat them.
In English, sharks are part of the cartilaginous fish clade. What is the name of that clade in Portuguese?
@@UnPuntoCircular Speaking about technical terms, I do believe this clade is called "peixe" which means fish. There's an article about it in a pop magazine¹, although it's hard to pin-point scientific publication or relevant literature. Perhaps it could be easier if I were involed in this field of knowledge.
I'm relatively educated, so I'm not example of general public, as only 15% of population have a degree².
My point was about the statements at 1:49. I was going with this clade thing, but then he gave an example like "let's pick two animals we currently call fish" which implies what general public consider as fish, and my reaction was like "WTF? Nobody thinks sharks are fish!"
But then I began wondering why he said that. I don't believe narrator made a mistake, I was penchant for some translation and cultural differences as cause of this curious way of thinking.
