Usually when you think of evolution or natural selection, you think of survival of the fittest. But sometimes, the resulting traits of evolution aren’t the most efficient solutions to the problems at hand. With the bar set to “good enough,” here are some features that arose from evolution which get the job done in strange or roundabout ways. Hosted by: Rose Bear Don't Walk.

Honorable mention to human sinuses draining from the top, instead of working *with* gravity. Which is why we get colds and stuffy noses and other animals basically never do.
@nixon2tube
@nixon2tube 3 года назад
This might have to do with the fact that human (and other apes) have their face on the front of their head, but are descended from species that have their faces on the end of their heads (all 4 legged animals). Think about it: A dog or cat looks ahead, even though they are on all fours. A human in that position has their face staring straight down. To test that theory, we'd need to find out if other forward facing great apes have sinus issues.

@@nixon2tube Orangutans and gibbons can't get sinus headaches, for a start, because they lack sinus cavities behind the top of the face like we've got.

Yep There isn't basically any one thing that is a unanimous best as for every success there is another "screw up" limitation brought by the lack of a direction. The other big drawback for cephalopods is the whole generally dying after you mate thing. Kind of limits how far intelligence can go as knowledge can't easily be propagated onto future generations. I imagine that when/if we ever get a sufficient understanding to start doing designer organisms it will end up having to be largely piecemeal/ from scratch since you will want to make sure it not only works well but has good built in redundancy and thus is way far off in the distant future if we somehow manage to not wipe ourselves out in the next few centuries.

@TheDarkever
@TheDarkever 3 года назад
Technically, even this corrected version is still slightly incorrect. Evolution is good enough so that part of your genes are passed down to descendants, but they don't need to be your own children. For example if you have zero children but your brother/sister has ten, a big part of your shared genes are passed down even though you never had offsprings. This kind of evolution interpretation explains things such a homosexuality: if your genes give a competitive advantage to your siblings or provides additional caretakers for their children, it doesn't matter whether you have children of your own or not. This is also a BIG part of the reason we are hardwired to protect our families, including our siblings' children.
@lazywonderer4669
@lazywonderer4669 3 года назад
@@TheDarkever yeah it's called the selfish gene or gene-centered view of evolution, where a gene cares more about copying itself in a population rather than helping his carrier to pass on his genes. Who knows it may be the case for homosexuals, as it may lower the chance of the passing on of someone's genes but it increases the chances of those who have same genes like his siblings to pass on their genes by lowering the competition for them. Here the gene is being selfish because it prevents its carrier to pass on directly his genes by promoting others that carrie the same gene to have more kids, and at the end of the day the gene gets still to be passed on even if it may result in some of its carriers to be homosexual.

Human meat suits are deathworlders compared to horses. Margaret Mead said that the sign of human civilization was a broken and healed femur. What she meant was that most human cultures are civilized. Healed femurs are not uncommon and go back thousands of years. A horse would have died. Humans are good regenerators because our social behavior creates an environment where strong regenerators are helped to survive. If we simply abandoned the injured in every case, the strong would be favored no more than the weak, and we would become weak. Instead elder mother who broke her leg throwing coals at the wolves recovered, bore the child she had recently become pregnant with, and lived on to assist her daughters and help her sons assist their nieces and nephews. And note here there's no fatherhood. Matrilineal kinship only. Uncles are male caregivers, not "fathers". Makes genetic sense. A man knows his sister is his sister, but mama's baby, papa's maybe. To the extent that there are any patriarchial genes or any innate "pair bonding" behavior, these are a result of human evolution over the last ten thousand years.

Cephalopod eyes are a good design if the duration of a lifetime is short. Photoreceptor cells continuously renew their pigmented photoreceptive membranes, shedding the old membranes at the end of the cell. In vertebrates this shedding occurs behind the retina, which builds up pigment there and reduces internal reflections of light. In cephalopods, however, that shedding occurs in front of the retina, into the vitreous humour, leading to the accumulation of old pigment inside the eyeball, which eventually interferes with vision if the creature lives long enough. Also, the retina of vertebrates include "light pipe" cells that help the incoming light slip past the neurons and nerve fibres, so the neural network interference with vision isn't too severe. Yes, cephalopods don't have a "blind spot" where the optic nerve exits from the eyeball, but vertebrate blind spots are offset from central vision, so we are rarely aware of this deficiency.

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this, at a distance of roughly ninety million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, whose ape descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has, or had, a problem, which was this. Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn't the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy. And so the problem remained, and lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans."

It is a fascinating exercise to try and imagine what human-level civilization, but from cephalopod's would be like. Every part of their technology would so entirely different from ours. They are obv fantastically flexible, and live in water, so most of our concepts of ergonomics and comfort would probably be alien to them. I believe they control each sucker independently, so while the cartoons would have them pecking at a human keyboard with 8 leg tips, I imagine instead they'd lay a couple legs across a whole pad and activate each key with a sucker. How about cephalopod Martial arts? How would their combat evolve as they need to compete with each other? Fascinating. But as you say, the limiter in the earth's case is their life span, otherwise they are incredibly intelligent and have great eyes and dexterity. But who knows in a whole other evolutionary system. Maybe we'll find such an advanced cephalopod species beneath the ice of Europa or another similar moon/planet. How cool would that be.

And add in the reflective back coating cats have, even more efficient. And maybe work in seeing Ultraviolet and Near Infrared too, modern cameras can see both with the related filters removed and it's kinda facinating to me own much we don't see, and that's without mentioning *Thermal Infrared* and microwave frequencies which are a whole other world of information and hidden sights, even common things would look alien seeing them at these far different electromagnetic frequencies

"Marsupials can more easily stop when conditions get bad and try again later" - meaning, empty the pouch...

Kangaroos have been known to eject their joey from the pouch while running from a predator. Serves two purposes: offers a distraction to the predator, and removes that extra weight allowing the mother to run away faster. Placental mammals can't do that - a heavily pregnant deer can't eject the baby to allow her to escape. Kangaroos will often also have multiple babies going at different stages of development. One embryo inside in suspended animation, one pinky joey attached to the nipple, and one older joey that's in and out of the pouch. So repopulating when conditions improve after a drought, for example, is much quicker than a placental mammal of similar size.
