Oh baby! this video is freaking well done! Worth the long hours :P

If our ancient ancestors invented music and dance in the Stone Age... I guess that's why we have Rock and Roll.

He’s so good because he actually answers the question.

The production quality is amazing!

Perhaps it is related to contagious yawning and laughter. In any case, I'm sure we've all engaged in the Chicken Dance at a wedding at least once. Now that is contagious!

You have better production quality than many TV shows.... I am amused, loving this content so much =D

Love your attitude man! And the way you reply to almost all the comments here, truly makes you special! Cheers!

Don't put patrons in the description, it can get ur vid taken down cause it's 'spam' of sort that a bot recognizes and takes down the vid

You're videos keep getting better and better mate

I love this. Every video is so well crafted and put together. It makes me more passionate about science every day! Keep it up!

saw your channel in an austing mcconnel video and I am so happy that he shouted you out. This channel is amazing!!

Ballet dancers use singing to synchronize their movements.

Ohhhh the social aspect of dancing to music makes perfect sense. Excellent video!

Love your accent and content mate ! Great one, quality of your videos are growing exponentially, keep it up 😊👍

I love this style choice of animations blended into the real world. It's unique and looks amazing. Just waiting for your channel to get the millions of subs it clearly deserves!

Very proud to be a patreon Tom, absolutely love the channel and seeing it grow. Another great video and love the quality and effort that is put in, nice one.

How much money do i need to throw down for you to do a dancing tutorial?

Love your style.

This was so interesting and well done!

Loved this video, I’m so glad Austin shouted you out and I found you

You're videos are amazing, really glad to have come across the channel. Also, disappointed to not see you dance :P

This is soooo good! I have always wondered why people danced outside of “seems like a good idea”. Well researched and fantastic production quality. Totally worth waiting for.

Gr8 video, mate! Never thought something so simple can be very entertaining and informative to watch

commenting before I watch to say YES A NEW ASPECT SCIENCE VIDEO

The production quality of this video is amazing! And I really loved the information presented.

Music IS movement in itself. 💕 ive never really thoughy about this, but im glad i do now.

This video quality is astonishing!!! Keep it up!!!

I am truly impressed by your ability to find fascinating topics in everyday science. So unique, and marvelously rendered.

Another great video Tom! Mirror neurons are definitely very, very cool

Great video. Your gaining subscribers fast. And to think just not too long ago you had less than 1k subscribers

Austin gang where are ya?

All the music you include in your videos is fantastic

Me: Dances to background music Also Me: What was this video about?

YAS FINALLY I'm loving the vids as always, I'm gonna start work next yr so will defo start donating to patreon asap

I love the topics and the quality on these videos, keep it up!👍

Notification gang you here?

This was one of my childhood questions 😂

I just want to add one more point: Dancing without music happens a lot in animals, mostly to show off to the ladies. It might just have started as a way to move in beautiful ways in order to look sexy. Add to that the human need to communicate, the way we infer meaning from everything and our sense for rhythm and music, and we end up with dancing as we know it today.

Talking of music... what is that song I can't remember its name at 4:33 It would be great if you put music you use in the description

Great video as always man

I don't think the activation of movement-related areas of the brain is a cause but rather the effect of "having to move on the beat". We have learned as a society that it's fun and somewhat normal to move to music. Hence, our brain learns to link both areas. The study should've done these experiments on babies, people who hate dancing or people who don't like music all too much. The examples you stated at the end of the video is the same thing I think: we weren't born loving moving to the beat, we learned it. The question then is: what *is* the cause? I dunno. Jammin' is still dope though. That's something I do know. Disclamer: I'm not a neuroscientist and haven't read the studie(s).

Very good video, looks like one from a multi-million subscriber channel! You have my sub

Please make a video on your setup and how you edit. Your awesome. Quick tip... Turn down the brightness of the lighting on the right side of your face and angle it to where you have slightly more of a shadow on the left side.

What is a pig's favorite ballet? Swine Lake!

Stumbled upon this video because of austinmcconnell and boy, oh, boy did I found a gold mine. Instantly hooked with your videos. I'm joining your army, Aspect Science. More power.

This is great stuff, as always! The related question I've always had is: Why is it that some sounds that are so pleasing to us, while others are so awful and physically irritating? What is it about a beautiful piano piece, or symphony, that makes it "beautiful?" And why, when I sit down and bang on my piano, does it sound so "terrible?" I've always figured it had something to do with the math and the arrangements involved in music, and something about how our brains find it to be pleasing when it follows a defined pattern, or when the sine waves from the various sounds themselves are complementary rather than discordant - but that's all just a completely uninformed guess! That could be a cool follow-on video! Keep making awesome content, man - really love your stuff!

Awesome, I have always wondered why do we get used to a song after listening to it for more number of times and then we don't like to listen to that song

Ohh, you are the recommended from Austin. Such a great channel.

Top job on this one mate

It such a simple question, why didn't I think of it? Kudos to you, sir! :D

I searched for “why do I want to dance all the time?” And found this 🦚 nice content ✌️

As always, quality video

Love your videos man. Quality content and high production value editing. Where do you get your background music, if you don't mind sharing? keep up the great work, I'm a long time subscriber :)

Yo my guess on that poll was really close! Also: why won't you dance? You should totally dance. Also also: it's really cool that you reply to so many of your commenters (including me!). Thanks for that! 😄

Can’t imagine how many time it would have taken you to reach us without Austin, even though you make great content!

I learn a lot with your videos, and I like how you edit them, you must put a lot of effort on it.

top notch production man!! you should do a set up tour or something! really curious to know if you do it on a budget cause you're just starting up or you have any experience working under any other influencer. that would make a great video!! cheers :D

Mate, brilliant film! It's so easy to not even think about why Dance exists. It's like breathing. We just accept it as a thing humans do haha. And Loved seeing the animated humans being used haha! The hours of character rigging was worth it.

I’m so happy that Austin (is that right?) showed me to you! You’re quality of video is amazing! Also you’re Earth is really tasty 😋.

The 🍏 as the unofficial mascot of this channel 😁 Good video in a constant good quality channel.

Well ... The musics in your video made me want to move... Anyway to have their name ? :) Great work as always !

Awesome video!

very underrated channel!

OMG I REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD 117 SUBS WTF YOU GREW SO FAST

Great video!

Great video mate

a little bit of comedy is new. I like it!

Why we move to music is a very interesting question indeed. But i do not believe it has to do with mirrir neurons, because we move even to sounds of which we have no idea how they are made and which movement goes with it. Someone in the middle of the Amazon forest can dance to a clarinet without having any idea what it is. Lets get back to a time before complex music insturments, before electricity and all that. This is a time when every sound was important and many sounds required action. Wether it is the sound of flowing water, the rustle of leaves, the cry of a baby or the annoyed souns of the hewad of the tribe... Especially sudden sounds needed action, usually juming up from a sitting position or prepairing to run wshen in a standing position. These reflexes are what makes us move to modern sounds, to music. At the same time we do know that there is no danger, so there is a release of positive hormones (similar to when your lover tickles you or bites your ear). Dancing is a reapeated reflex to sound that used to be important. [sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language].

While researching why we all do something is interesting, what about those few people that couldn't carry a tune if you gave them a bucket? Finding out why they can't keep a beat, may be the clue to the puzzle.

great video, what music is being played in the middle of the video?

When the background music makes me wanna start dancing even when it is so basic you know that your point is coming across. 10/10 video

cant help but be distracted by the host's eyes. and when he smiles i get reminded of Brandon Flynn

I love your content so much

I like how you've minimized jumpcuts with close-ups in between takes. It's a much better viewing experience in my opinion. Just one critique and that is you should either cite your sources in the description OR create a website and just put your script with sources as a blog post for further reading. BTW .. Do you do everything yourself? Animations were slick.

Only 10k views on a video with this quality?wow...

I love this channel

Good Job!

can we get links of the music you use in your videos? I love them and I couldn’t find them online.

I was expecting a dance at the end!

You're kidding! I was just dancing to pogo when this was uploaded! How crazy is that?

This is SO COOL

I'm a metalhead, I don't dance, I headbang.

🍏

Hey, love the video! Can you tell me the name of the song at the very beginning? Thx

It is literally impossible to not headbang to the breakdown from Domination by Pantera.

Hello! Awesome video as per usual. Would you mind linking/referencing all the music used in this video? I really liked it and it would be appreciated. Thanks

Great vidoe :) came here from Austin.

A little anecdote: I was never really someone that enjoyed music in the traditional sense. I listened to it when other people did, but I never went out of my way to listen to music; I absolutely never danced, not even in private. After I got convinced to learn how to play the guitar I found a new appreciation for music. I actually go out of my way to click on music videos that are recommended to me by KZfaq, and even get chills when I hear certain songs, even though I never did before. Still don't dance, but I at least move to music now. Bob my head, tap my feet, etc. Something else I was thinking about: Perhaps the synchrony of human movement is influenced by our hunter/gatherer past? Synchronous, complex hunting techniques could have been guided by the rhythmic patterns of human speech, though this is only a thought, and I have no evidence to back it up haha.

Good job on the video

Heyyy !!!! The good quality music used in tha background needs to be cited. Want to know the music, plss.

the guy looks so handsome and he's so eye-comforting. would watch him speak for a day 🤣

The social aspects are surely important for humans but the fact that there seems to be exactly one class of animals that _can_ synchronize their movements to music -- so called vocal mimics -- and more importantly the fact that they _will_ do this spontaneously and voluntarily when exposed to human music, even though none of these species themselves have any culture of music of their own, points to the incredibly fascinating fact that there is something inherent in this vocal mimic ability that leads animals to behave this way and to apparently find pleasure in movement that is synchronized with a regular auditory stimulus. In other words, all animals that can dance, like to dance. And all animals that can dance are vocal mimics. Interestingly, they do not share a common ancestor that was also a vocal mimic. Far from it in fact. There are bird and mammal vocal mimics and their entire higher brain development happened completely independently from each other. Call me biased, but I find this much more fascinating and noteworthy than the fact that something that a species likes will be co-opted for their social bonding.

hi

good call on changing the thumbnail.

I have an idea for the next episode. I am very interested in why we developed to do sports. We dont gain the ability to defend ourselfes nor how to survive. And we only get good at things that are oracticly usseless outside the court/ring etc. The only thing that sports help us is to stay active, but wouldnt it be more effextive to train karate or kickbox? They train our body and teach us how to defend ourselfes. To clarify i dont have anything against sports in jeneral im just curious to why we do it Ps sorry for any mistakes that i may have made in my grammar.

The animations are primitive. Lol I mean the Primitive animations are really good! Keep on!
