The original is top 1% video in terms of education and entertainment. No doubt. I've seen it at least 5X and still have some things to back to. Love how you all responded to it as it can be quite an overload on the senses the first time through. Think about it - 150M+ views on a single vid. Great stuff!
My favorite Sarcopterygians are Lungfish. Florida doesn't actually have any I just checked. I assume you are talking about the walking catfish? Those are actually Actinopterygians. Most fish can indeed breathe air for a short time, but not all fish have lungs or lung sacks.
@@vekssi One man shared his information and people took notice. When those people saw him sharing his information they reacted to it. Some kept this reaction to themselves and others posted their reactions in the same space as his. More people saw it and also reacted to it only encouraging more people to do the same. Sounds like the movement has already started. Better this “religion” compared to having one where heads are chop off in response to the king and queen still living rich while the country was poor.
Explaining how life came about is my favorite thing ever. Chemical evolution is so cool. To start you have to talk about the Urey-Miller experiment. Back in the 1950s these two biochemists did an experiment in which they took a containment chamber, filled it with water, ammonia, methane, hydrogen, and all the things you expect to find on any fledgling planet. All the things you would expect on any new Earths. They put a fire underneath so it would evaporate, go into another container to be zapped with electrodes, cooled, funneled back to the original container and cycles back through. They are simulating the patterns of an early Earth, and simulating all the elements you could find on Earth. You take early simple ingredients, get them hot, get them cold, zapped with lightning and other normal processes. They ran it for a while and when they come back they took samples. To their surprise, the water is no longer clear, but is a gross reddish brown. They test it and find it is now full of amino acids. Amino acids are the things that build proteins and make life happen. That is called chemical evolution. Very simple inorganic ingredients come together via totally natural means and form organic macromolecules. There are 4 macromolecules that make up life. Lipids, proteins, carbs and nucleic acids. Those are the 4 macromolecules that make up everything alive. Each one is a polymer meaning its a molecule that forms a chain. I'll explain each of these below: PROTEINS are made of chains of amino acids that fold up on themselves. A chain of amino acids is a primary structure. Then it folds into an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet called a secondary structure. Then it forms a glob called a tertiary structure. Sometimes some globs come together and thats then a quaternary structure and so on. Thats how proteins work. Proteins make up skin, muscle, bones, and everything like that. CARBS are sugars. Long chain simple sugars such as glucose or fructose. If you stick them together you get sucrose. A bunch of those together makes a polysaccharide. This makes carbs like starche, cellulose and such. LIPIDS are fats. You have a twisted hydrocarbon chain that repels water and thats a lipid. There are various kinds like phospholipids where a long hydrocarbon chain comes off it to repel water and on the other end is a phosphorus group that attracts water. This makes a hydrophilic and hydrophobic end. One attracts and one repels water. If you take any lipid like cooking oil for example and put it in water it forms a bubble all by itself. Nobody has to tell it to do that. That's because a sphere is the smallest possible surface area and is the most energetically protected from the water around it. It would take more energy to make any other shape and the universe is lazy. Everything is always as energetically simple as possible. Lipids that naturally form out of normal stuff under normal circumstances, naturally form spheres. Amino acids which make proteins that naturally form out of natural stuff can get stuck in one of these spheres, and you now have something that practically represents a cell. All this stuff formed by totally natural means and naturally assumes the shape of a sphere can naturally come together and form a cell. You can do this in a jar. Now imagine that on a planet taking place over millions of years. The Urey-Miller experiment has been redone in different ways many times by putting other things in, leaving some things out, and hundreds of combinations and it just always works. Later, we figured out this happens in hydrothermal vents. They pump out acids and bases. These have proton gradients. Whats that? Well an acid is a chemical with a bunch of extra protons and a base is something that doesn't have enough and has too many electrons. When they neutralize they give off electrical charges that move one place to the next. This is how your cells make energy today. Mitochondria pass protons across a membrane. This turns a protein called ATP synthesis which makes adenosine triphosphate and thats how our body works. It's how most cells today work. Where can we find natural proton gradients right now? Hydrothermal vents. Where can we find the building blocks of lipids and proteins? Hydrothermal vents. We can even find amino acids, including all the ones important to life, in space. Just floating on asteroids. They form naturally all by themselves all over. You have the building blocks of life, the thing that makes energy in cells even today happening naturally all by itself in hydrothermal vents and all over the universe. Life then starts all by itself. Now we also have NUCLEIC ACIDS, the 4th macromolecule, which is DNA and RNA. We do debate what came first, but the most common consensus is RNA came first. I also follow the RNA world hypothesis. Let me explain why. RNA is cool because it isn't just something that carries information, but it also works as a catalysts to make reactions happen. A catalysts is something that lowers the activation energy of a reaction. It makes a reaction happen easier and faster with less energy. So RNA carries genetic information, it can also make more of itself, and it can make other reactions happen faster. Think about how proteins are made in your body today. It's like this. You have mRNA(messenger RNA) that makes proteins happen. How? It goes to a ribosome to be read. What are ribosomes made of? They are made of rRNA(ribosomal RNA), and aren't membrane bound organelles. In the ribosome something brings over amino acids to make the protein. What brings them over? tRNA(transfer RNA). So when your body makes proteins it uses RNA to tell RNA to use RNA to make a protein. Again, you can do this in a jar. That is why the major consensus is that RNA came first. RNA is something that is so unbelievably useful. Why do we have DNA then? Because once it happened to form DNA was/is really good at long term storage and it's far more stable meaning it stuck around better. You can divide it, make more of it, pack it into a tight wad and have it twist around proteins called histones to makes a tight rope called chromatin, and then chromatin forms a body called a chromosome. Thats how DNA works. It wraps around proteins, wraps into a thick rope, and those thick ropes form a chromosome. It's super easy to divide these and split them up. Is it so hard to believe that some of these naturally forming nucleic acids found their way into a blob of naturally forming lipids? THEN they split, THEN you have 2 sets of chromosomes in a cell THEN cytokenesis happens where actin filaments tighten around the cell in a contractile ring, and remember lipids form bubbles naturally, so once squished together you now have a cleavage furrow that then splits into two seperate bubbles! You now have dividing life out of literally "nothing". It's not difficult at all to say that very simple ingredients found all over the universe that naturally form organic molecules by natural processes then naturally stated making more of themselves. You then get a VERY early organism. Something so insanely simple. Not bacteria, that would be unbelievably complex in comparison. Just a very simple membrane, very simple genetic material and very simple proteins. The very basics of all of this. That is what we call LUCA. There was probably a ton of very early life, but LUCA is the one that stuck around. Everything that ever lived past that point is related to LUCA. We have a very clear picture of how everything evolved after that. I can gladly get into that if anyone want me to. I'm an evolutionary biologist so this tickles me all over when I get to explain it.
The fact you have no replies is criminal, this is fascinating! I'm more invested in later types of evolution, think animals and plants and how they adapt to their environment, but this was a treat to read through :D
@@fox-fluffl9002 I'm more invested in that too haha chemical evolution is fascinating, but I'm no biochemist, but rather a biologist. Animal evolution is where I really thrive. I specifically do work with out ancestors as a BioAnth student. I do paleoecological reconstruction of H. erectus as my current job. Evolution of life past LUCA is where I have the most knowlege of. I can recomend some excellent RU-vid channels who make content about evolution if you want or answer some questions you might have. I love spreading scientific literacy
@@TheMilkMan8008 i personally love human evolution and the evolution up til the first human, seeing how living things adapt to new enviroments etc. is really cool, also why i love games that has a clear progression/upgrade system
I think the most clever thing about this video is how dense and rewatchable it is, after all repetition is one of the keys to learning. Every time you'll catch more of the information, and solidify what you know further. Brilliant.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself "fake" implies an intent to deceive. OP clearly wasn't trying to deceive, and the actual meaning is obvious, so your point is pointless, so you have no point. Gotta love youtube commenters' double standards of hating "grammar nazis" while whining about people using "OCD" incorrectly
Bill Wurtz proves his brilliance with this one; the guy won an award; I watch it every now and then, & it always makes me happy to see others discover it for the first time. 😁💜 I've just now subscribed.
What’s really impressive is that he COULD have just started at the Dawn of humanity and done the history just of humanity. But he started PRE-big bang lol So it’s not just the history of humanity or even of our planet that he covers, but of the entire universe. Everything we know/understand
This video never gets old. I could rewatch it every day and still somehow find another thing I didn't catch the previous time. Also didn't realize this was a newer video which is super surprising considering the video is what 5 years old now...
Dad is all of us who love this video and enthusiastically force everyone we know watch it while we watch them watching it. Now that we've made everyone we know watch it, we come here to watch strangers watch it; and we decide how much we like them based on their reaction.
As long as I live I will never understand how people can be completely unbothered by a mouse pointer right in the middle of what they're trying to watch.
One of my history teachers in middle school showed the class this on one of the finals days 😂 Best summary of everything. Still think it should’ve been shown before the final exams tho
Love how up until humans the skips are millions of years and almost no info about early earth or peoples and most of video is only about last 2000ish years
It's an elite video. Of course, Daz knows how brilliant the OverSimplified videos are. (Never did do The American Civil War on the OBR channel, though.)
He never said America ended slavery. He said America decided slavery was bad, and the world agreed. Nothing about that indicates the order it happened. For example Canada had already banned slavery hence the underground railroad where black slaves were smuggled out of the US for their freedom. When America ended slavery, most of the world had already done so or was also on the path to end it.
Mental reaction I feel you guys 😂 I remember watching the original video on my own Time it’s like a review of everything I learned from elementary to highschool 😂
'British famly react' **american flag in background** ...what? Plus that mouse near the center of the screen is really distracting But i'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative
@@limeygaynor cool, I didn't know that. I still find it a bit odd because of the title, since it creates a bit of dissonance. Or perhaps it's because the flag covers so much of the background, so it's more obvious. Anyway don't mind me, I was just a bit bewildered
Why does this video have 1440p and 4K? I mean, you do you, but it's not helping. I'm watching the whole video, I just found it odd that you went to the effort of uploading it at 1440p when it makes your video look WORSE.
What it should do is make you want to go and learn more about each part. Thinking you know the history of the world after watching this is just silly, it is a cursory glance and that is it.
Even though it is focused on "Western" civilization, this is still very cool as it shows the interrelationships that there are different things going on in the world at the same time.
This basically serves to show people just how little they know about history. Most people only know about 10 things from this video, I'd assume. And considering that everything he says can be expanded to an entire book on it's own, there is far more out there than we even knew we didn't know. They only teach a tiny slice of this, and most people only remember a tiny slice of that. The rest is basically completely ignored.
Omg your family is so sweet 🥹. I didn’t know you had this channel too, I’m used to watching the office blokes channel. This was great 😊. Awesome reaction
I got a question, Why did you shook your head when he said we can make a religion out of this? (Islam) Did you know every religion based on God is mentioned is Islam? and even the name of "Jesus" is mentioned more than "Mohammad" in Quran!!! (in the middle of a desert in a tribe which didn't know what Christianity meant)
Вам так было весело когда показали отрывок про сброс ядерной бомбы на Японию....Но так стало грустно когда показали момент где упало 2 небоскрёба 11 сентября????)))))) Ну я понял........................... :D
If this was the YEC version you would have to slow the vid down to 1/4 speed and have 1 million frames per second and only have one frame that says - "And God said..."
This is not the way teaching should be done at schools. A little bit might be good, to get kids actually interested in learning about things, but it's not a good way to get them to remember stuff.
I know it's a funny video....but it strikes me as alarming when a British family, in front of a USAUK flag hybrid, all laugh out loud at "so Britain tried to get them addicted to opium."
The problem with using this style to teach is you miss a lot of details on why things happened the way they did. It’s be GREAT to do an overview like this and then get into the details depending on the topic. The classes I learned the most from don’t go straight into the material, but an overview of the topic and it’s real world applications before going into details.
True. also, My problem in school in the 80's was I had the details, but they were randomly taught, this vid is the first time I found the relationship between Rome and Byzantines for example
of course, this format leaves out many details about major events; but if everyone knew just this much about the history of the world, people, in general, would be much more intelligent
