Blood is one of the most revolutionary features in our evolutionary history. Over hundreds of millions of years, the way in which blood does its job has changed over and over again. As a result, we animals have our familiar red blood. But also blue blood. And purple, and green, and even white.

I hated evolution, kept denying it. Watched this channel and then started to think its true. Then you get to the point right here whwre they say "we know it happened but there's no evidence, oh and somehow of course the first organism somehow "evolved" and survived it's initial selection and both genders somehow found each other, or one organism somehow could produce. Even worse go back all the way to the first organism. It comes alive. Then dies. Because it didn't reproduce and because it didn't have the genetic code to reproduce, it couldn't have survived and it died.

Metamorphosis is a trait found in a far wider array of insects than just butterflies! Beetles, wasps flies, lepidoptera(moths but note that butterflies are actually a diurnally specialized lineage of moths) From what I have read they really didn't appear on the scene until after the Great dying opened up the opportunity to diversify. I really wonder what they were like before diversifying? The older orders of insects all have incomplete-metamorphosis with both nymphs and adult forms (examples being Dragonflies, Antlions, True Bugs such as Aphids Roaches/Mantids(including Termites) etc. which is more like shedding a different skin)

They aren’t mirror images, but that’s not the point: they have a clear front and back, and a clear top and bottom. Bilateral symmetry is oddly not about where things are the same, but about how many directions are unique. A sponge is a rather formless blob that can make do with almost any shape. A Jellyfish has more order to it, but still is more or less just a ring. A Flatfish, on the other hand, has distinct parts that aren’t just “bumps”: it has a head where the eyes, brain, and mouth are located. It has a tail/aft section. It has a spine running along its body, from the head to the tail, also giving a direction.

@@pullupullupullup4687 You're wrong. Blood is a tissue composed mainly by plasma, red and white blood cells, platelets and dissolved gases, nutrients and enzimes. There are no microorganisms. Cells have organelles, not "organs", and of those, the only one with a symbiotic origin is the mitochondria, the other organelles are just, generally speaking, internal extensions of the cell membrane or protein-based structures (like microtubules). Blood cells work pretty much like any other cell in your body (of course, with specializations for the roles they fulfill). There are no microorganisms interacting in your blood (unless you have an infection of some kind).
@zddxddyddw 5 жыл бұрын
@@pullupullupullup4687 Also, they said all that they could about the evolution of blood. Like Hank said in the video, less complex animals just move gasses, nutrients and metabolic waste by diffusion through their body walls and internal fluids. All we can say without a doubt about the evolution of blood is that, at some point, animals developed proteins in ther internal fluids that allowed them to transport gases and nutrients more effectively, and thus they could get more and more complex. Not much more than that. You have to undestand that studying the evolution of soft tissues is already hard enough in the fossil record, studying a liquid tissue is even harder, even with tools such as the molecular clock. They even showed in the video when the different blood proteins probably appeared.

I might stick with describing arctic beasts having red blood because I'd like to avoid unnecessary semen jokes and the mental image of red blood on white snow is always very evocative.

Many kinds of venoms double as digestive fluids, so most probably evolved from that. Poison is even easier, some species or populations being less edible to predators is already an advantage without it being outright poison, with your predators providing an evolutionary pressure, your evolution is driven in a direction where the bodies of each generation are more and more toxic, to the point where it is not just a happy coincidence that your body fluids are poisonous to someone else, you outright produce poison that no longer has any other function.

You could also still use hemoglobin, but say that other proteins, compounds and/or minerals in the blood contribute to a different colour. In addition, arthropods here on Earth, have hemolymph and don't distinguish between a circulatory system and a lymphatic system. You could also say that these aliens use a completely different metabolic system which doesn't use oxygen, in that case the transport proteins for gas exchange could be wildly different. Just some things to think about, if you didn't already. Good luck on the world building.

There's no reason why an alien species would have a protein in their cells, which utilize the same 20 amino acids as us, and that has the same fold and general structure of hemocyanin.

Even pandemics and the collapse of civilizations got nothing on the violent end to the Mesozoic era. Thank you for enriching us and comforting us with knowledge. The pursuit of knowledge, the hunger for wisdom, and the light of Truth can save us all. Stay strong

@@ganaraminukshuk0 Yes there are quite a few different methods of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is unique in that it is aerobic uses oxygen or more specifically breaks down water and CO2 releasing oxygen as a byproduct which has a higher chemical potential than other molecules do allowing more energy per molecule but other forms of photosynthesis evolved billions of years earlier. The most familiar of these is the purple microbes that utilize sulfur instead H2S-> SO4 etc. (though there are different types) but who knows how many types of photosynthesis occurred before the atmosphere was oxygenated effectively killing off most microbes.... I remember reading a paper about some type of Iron based photosynthesis which is quite different in that its basically impossible on modern Earth unless you have an extremely anaerobic environment....

I’ve got a few ideas: Asteroid collisions and how they affected life. How mass extinctions occurred and their effects on food webs and life cycles. Environmental pressures that caused the convergent evolution of flight by different groups and species. How honey, fruits, and other sweet products became such an important energy source for many organisms. My favorite: What influenced animals (Tiktaalik) to leave the protection of the water, and then some mammals (whales) to return to an aquatic environment. This is an awesome series!

This has probably been requested more than anything else on the channel and for as long as I can remember this channel being a thing. So glad you finally made the video😁👍 Also, on a complete sidenote: I've been wondering lately, if on say an alien planet animals there evolved eyes with a type of photoreceptor cell that did the job of both rods and cones in one, would they see colour clearly in the dark? Would their view of the world at night be just like the day, just like our night or would they perhaps see in slightly muted colours during night time(because of less light reacting with the photoreceptor cells etc.)? Would nocturnal eyes be much or any different from non-nocturnal eyes? Would their sleep cycles be dictated by night and day and the rotation of their planet? Would day and night time really exist for them in a prominent way? I haven't really been able to come up with a conclusive answer but am leaning towards the muted colours one, but I'm completely prepared to be wrong. Any thoughts?(and thanks for taking the time to read this btw) Extra sidenote: I think videos on the evolution of crocodilomorphs like kaprosuchus would be interesting or something about bat evolution.😁
