Evolving a Human! - Evolution Simulator 

I tried building my own humanoid. I found that by widening the stance (placing the legs and feet further apart), it was more likely to stay upright and try to get along by scooting. Around generation 25, it seemed like they were actually going to start walking upright, until one got the bright idea to curl itself up into a ball and just roll. Apparently rolling is much more efficient than walking. I have witnessed the next step in human evolution!

The problem you’re having is that standing doesn’t help the creature succeed. By falling over it can instantly beat out any standing creature.

>Sketching 3D human body (face siding with screen) >Expecting it to walk in 2D Dude, do you walk like a crab IRL?

"So our objective is to make a walking human" *_Ties its legs together_*

The biggest issue is you're trying a 3D creature in a 2D world

And that folks is how Michael Jackson was created 15:30

The main Problems: - Humans didn't evolve to walk sidewards. You should have build a human from the side, so he can walk forwards to the right. - You need to let it evolve more, at least 50-200 generations. - Falling to the right is an advantage.

I think this is more "intelligent design" than "evolution". XD

I can just hear them saying "Kill me"

I think the main issue is that this game doesn't recognize "crossing", like the way real legs work. So they instead try to "shuffle" their way across the screen. If this game were more 3D, the tactic you're trying to use might work

I like how his goal changed from “Running” to “Crawling” to “Scooting.” Baby steps. No, I’m not sorry.

7:57 Best of generation 1 started flossing lol😂😂😂

rare footage of god working on someones body

if you set the goal to jumping than they will try to stand

I've just been messing with this myself, and now have a functioning human. Feet, knee joints (that you shrink, as large knees weigh the guy down), and a fixed pelvis, seem the most important bits. With a diamond shaped knee you can attach muscle to both sides of the leg, similarly a diamond pelvis allows this too.. a foot with a toe is vital to get a spring in the step.

"Doctor help me to improve myself. I wanna be a better human, faster, stronger" Doctor: Very well *(Pulls out chainsaw)* Nurse! get ready for leg removal surgery!

If you want to make a walking human, why did you make a front view of a human?

when you made the triangle feet with muscles inside i cringed because i imagined what it would be like to have muscles in a cage of bone, unable to do anything but attempt to destroy themselves.

15:10 I BE FLOSSIIIIIIING

I love this game so much because if you think about it a lot this is kinda what nature does naturally, theres no "look" it's going for it just kinda throws stuff at the wall and sees what sticks, towards the end you couldnt even tell if it was human or not but it worked and that's all that matters in the end!

Your first human creation wouldve worked if you waited long enough

If you guys are wondering, there is mobile version of this game. I got it over a year ago.

Me: Make him look like he has Shoes! Blitz: Adds Shoes Me: Perfection👌

I'm sure your biology teacher would be proud of your tiny-armed human with the largest torso know to man. But other than your lack of knowledge of anatomy, I enjoyed every part of that! Great video, do more! :D

we're so dead, we're teaching skynet how to evolve

Anyone who has studied mechanical engineering, especially statics and dynamics, know how painful this is to look at. Just being reminded of trusses. *shudders*

“When your legs don’t work like they used to beforeeee”

11:13 usually more muscles means less stability, something the the learning thing you can edit i think sets rules per creation to help them learn better.

I made a human in this game that has muscles that are connected to arms and legs which are connected to the center, which is a head in the shape of a triangle. They can walk, jump, and... fall flat on their face.

less joints, the less complex the better

“Remove the LEGS. If only we’d known that...” JEEZ NOW I WANT MY LEGS AMPUTATED (jk jk)

human's skeletal structure is designed to be operated in 3D space

You should try to incorporate a elbow so if it falls over it can crawl

Make a bisected triangle of bones for the pelvis

I got pretty good results from starting with just the legs and hips, facing both foot triangles and knee bends forward, and adding a toe joint/bone that has a muscle that connects to the top of the foot.

MORE CAT GOES FISHING PLEASE I LOVED IT SOOOO MUCH

I feel like the problem is that it can’t pick up the back leg because it’s a 2 dimensional game

But this is simply natural selection

"You...will never be...a god." Refrences!

You can use the final creature as the pelvis, then you add strong legs, with a lot of bones to not bound and an upper body part with springlike arms to stand up again after falling. You should get a pretty good human.

you keep wondering if there are enough muscles, you forget to realize you need less.

Heyo! I played this game before, it's really fun. Nice attempt

I want this now, like really bad, thank you fro showing me this!

Multiply their score by the average height of their head node. Boom, now they will stand up, and maybe start to walk. They gained so much score by simply falling over that they would have to learn how to walk quite well before they could compete with the ones that just fall. One of the most important things about machine learning is tuning your fitness calculation. Do you want it to move? You maybe had the right criteria. Do you want it to stand? Just use the average height. Do you want it to walk? Combine the previous two criteria.

A small step for men, a large step for mankind!

Humans don't walk by shuffling to the side.

When I was trying to create a functioning humanoid in this, for most of the generations, one of the humanoids was trying to get around by wiggling its arms, which made it look like it was dancing XD

16:51 that poor dude in the left been lefted for dead

Dude, you're on Generation ONE, it's not going to walk "successfully" on Generation ONE.

I love all your videos!

I never new you new so much about the human anatomy

When you try to floss the first time 16:24

Make a dinosaur

in the end, it looked like the "humans" were doing the floss

So, i've been playing this game for a bit today and i started loving it, so i made a spider. The spider barely walked. I added a head, that could control the legs, he started to walk. I added a module on top of it's head, and now they can run, and when they flip they start boxing.

Humans have two sets of muscles in each limb with opposing actions - one set that flexes the limb at various joints and another that extends it. Not to mention, we also have restricted joint mobility in each joint, unless these creatures.

"lol lets teach the robots how to evolve"

They can't place the left foot ahead of the right, so they can't make steps.

Flaws: 1. humans don't walk sideways 2. You don't give them enough time, they need even hundreds of generations to learn how to properly walk and move

>Ties legs together >Expects it to walk

I tried the game out and I actually built a walking human!

When you stopped it after the knee cap one finnally walked and you ruined your chance for them to walk

the learning algorithm is very interesting, might be key to self learning machines

You should try put the second feet in the same direction of the first, so that he will unbalace to fall foreward to force himself to walk. Think about, when we walk (or run) we flect a bit

you dont give them enough time to learn... most things dont get an efficient run til like generation 100-400

You make a terrible god.

The problem with "Running" mode is that the creature is given some initial momentum to the "east" upon spawning. This makes most of them fall over if the "right" foot is not perfectly placed. And upon falling, the "brain" learns" about the involved muscles bending and "believes" this to be perfectly normal.

La estructura básica osea y muscular está bien resumida, el factor que no permite la estabilización postural es que los músculos antigravitatorios, tienen fuerzas de contracción (Tono muscular) de diferentes amplitudes, un músculo no actúa solo, y su concepción como tiras elásticas no es suficiente. Que buen simulador!!! Me encantó muchísimo. Perfecto para entender de manera superficial como funcionamos! Perdón por la pobre traducción. The basic bone and muscle structure is well summarized, the factor that does not allow postural stabilization is that the antigravity muscles have contraction forces (muscle tone) of different amplitudes, a muscle does not act alone, and its conception as elastic strips is not enough. What a good simulator! I loved it very much. Perfect to understand in a superficial way how we work! Sorry for the poor translation.

Your final “solution” just made it look inappropriate 😂

Everyone keeps making a front view of a human and expects it to move to the right naturally. That makes no sense, make a two dimensional side view and I think it would work better.

Thing is, we did not evolve standing up, so it's not really the right approach. The walking motion is incredibly complex and prerequisites the whole range of motion going back to when we were still four-legged. But you could do it more like QWOP where nothing but the legs actually move. The top should just be a static structure.

Have you tried putting two disconnected lines of bone going parallel, with a piece of muscle in between? It gets 100% fitness at 4 frames a second.

need to create a proper spine first of all then you should let it run on as you wont get results with just 20 generations

Reminds me of Conway's Game of Life, or Greg Egan's exceptional story "Crystal Nights." Evolution is cruel, messy, and painful - the definition of brutality. I have no doubt that functional AI could be produced like this. We experienced it, and I guess we're going to inflict it on our "children" as we take these first, infantile steps in the art of creation.

12:14 Guy on the left: ho ho youre approaching me

I luv ur vids also I’ve played this lol

world of goo: AI edition.

Human legs are not buckled

I died laughing around the part I saw one of the "humans" dragging himself across the floor with his "head"

I have this game before I found this vid and I was like Wow...

Who's ready to a mutate their leg? To be the ultimate humans!

Christians: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i would love to see an evolutionary biologist or an anthropologist playing that game and giving insights on how to build a human.

This game is also on mobile too if you want it (I know it's on Android but I'm not sure about iOS and Apple)

Make a dinosaur 🦖

Hi

He needs more bones and u don't need to shape it like a human on his foot remove joint and add two direct bones in his feet into the upper part, so it wouldn't go bounce when u add muscle on his leg

Normal humans: What do you mean by legs adding extra parts! Handicapped people: HURRAY!!!

Just wanted to say hi

Im 1.193 yeey im not like... i like this 😀 Chers 🍻

16:35 when you fail the floss

You can use the height judgement method to fix the problem

Wassup

The 200 dislikes are from Christians

Also make sure you can make it able to support itself

One human was like Human: why is my one arm short???

40th

Wow, absolutely pointless video. No real substance, and no real story -nothing was accomplished, he just gave up?!?!? -shows no knowledge of AI or coding -no clever AI jokes -no attempt to try to educate the viewers Just a low effort mash mosh of things happening and someone opening and closing their mouth for 20 minutes straight. I’d recommend going over to Code Bullet where these issues don’t exist

XD all the comments are funny. The main problem isn't that he's drawing the human facing the screen. Human beings are capable of walking sideways, even if it's not our most efficient direction of locomotion. The main problem is that this game is far from complex enough to allow for actual organic locomotion. Mainly because it only has 1 type of joint, with a very wide range of rotation. This sets the range of motion between parts at too high a limit. The human body consists of 206-300 bones (certain bones fuse as an individual grows older) and aproximately 640 skeletal muscles. The muscles are actually a controversial topic because it all depends on how you group these bundles of muscular tissue. This game is a very good example of how machine learning depends completely on the framework in which it is built. This machine learning algorithm is great at gradually optimising the forward locomotion of a static(non-changing, not non-moving) structure in a static environment (a flat plane). It controls a walking sequence of the structure by setting values to the tension of the muscles and sequencing when and how strong they activate.. But it doesn't know anything about creating the structure itself. It doesn't optimise anything that it isn't designed to optimise. Deep learning is so cool.

I remember when my brother showed me to your channel and you had 100 k and now I'm watching this vid and you have 2 mil good job
