Natural Selection, Adaptation and Evolution 

Thanks, Shayar! Glad it was helpful, I had fun making it. Sending love from Boston! -BOGO

@@BOGObiology thanks for replying mam 😁😁

Soon, within the next couple weeks hopefully! I have a full time "regular" job, so I have to squeeze in video-making on the side. Each video takes about 40-50 hours to make between the researching, scripting, animating and doing the voice overs. I used to make them in much less time but the quality was really poor (you'll FOR SURE see the difference if you look at videos from before 2016). Fingers crossed I'll have time to finish soon! Love, BOGO

I understand that...thanks for the reply

@@NoviceMGSYT My pleasure! Speed vs. quality is always a balancing act!

Thanks, Amit! Sending love and best wishes from Boston! -BOGO

Wow, great points. Yes, I'd say that absolutely qualifies as a type of selection. Definitely look into the idea of epigenetics; it hits on the intersection of environment and genetics including how trauma/prolonged stress can turn certain genes on or off. It helps us to appreciate the multigenerational impact of living through a war, witnessing genocide, being enslaved, etc. All of those have a measurable impact on our genes and on our health and wellbeing, but we're still trying to fully understand it. I made a video about it but it just barely skims the surface ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8BMP6HDIco.html&ab_channel=BOGObiology

@@BOGObiology wow, I’m definitely looking into this later

Human beings are actually going against natural selection and Darwin’s theory with our feelings of empathy, love, care etc. actually our growth rate is stagnant I think.

6000, OR EVEN 6 TRILLION YEARS STILL SKIMMING SURFACES ALLOWING SOME TO BELIEVE AND THE OTHER SOME NOT TOO? LIKE ALLWAY'S AND DIED LONG AGO SAYING WE ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE!!!@@BOGObiology

Thanks! I had fun making it, especially coming up with all the silly "dating apps". I was cackling to myself as I was drawing the icons. Sending love and best wishes from Boston! -BOGO

Hey Sling, great point about gene regulation. It's definitely a bit outside the scope of this particular video but I actually made another video about epigenetics that might be helpful if this is a topic you're interested in: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8BMP6HDIco.html&ab_channel=BOGObiology Ciao! -BOGO

Vittle is the app I use for animating, and then I add a voiceover and edit in iMovie. Here's a tutorial I made on using vittle. Hope this helps! -BOGO ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zXtA-xteSr8.html

Thanks a lot for your response 😊 This will help me a lot...

Yepp it's very low 🤔

Sure. If there are no environmental pressures to change, then no change.

Yes, it is possible for a species to survive for thousands or even millions of years without undergoing significant change and without evolving into another species. This phenomenon is known as "stasis" or "living fossil" and is observed in some organisms that have remained relatively unchanged over long periods of time. One classic example of a living fossil is the coelacanth, a type of fish that first appeared in the fossil record around 400 million years ago. Coelacanths were thought to have gone extinct around 66 million years ago, but in 1938, a living specimen was discovered off the coast of South Africa. The modern coelacanth is remarkably similar to its ancient ancestors, and it has remained relatively unchanged for millions of years. Another example is the horseshoe crab, which has remained virtually unchanged for at least 450 million years. The horseshoe crab species we see today closely resembles fossil specimens dating back to the late Paleozoic era. These examples demonstrate that certain species can persist for long periods without undergoing significant evolutionary changes. However, it's important to note that while some species may remain relatively stable over time, others may undergo gradual changes or speciation events, leading to the formation of new species. Evolution is a complex process influenced by various factors, including environmental pressures, genetic variation, and random mutations. So, the lack of significant change in a species over a long period is not a universal rule but rather a fascinating exception observed in some cases.

Thanks for stopping by, min min!

When you adapt you evolve.(how I see it)

You is populations btw x

Some people make up their own definitions of “adaptation” to suit their argument better on whether or not evolution exists. When speaking to those who argue adaptation is solely talking about an animal emphasizing it’s one characteristic of geno code within their set chromosomes, I would argue evolution = adaptation + mutation. But some people include “mutation” in their definition of adaption

I feel like their definition of adaptation is wrong, the textbook definition is "modification of an organism or its parts that makes it more fit for existence under the conditions of its environment"

What specific incorrect information did you notice?

@@BOGObiology 1 year later .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

​@@luish1498LMAO

You got this!

I couldn't resist!

It includes a joke about dating apps?? 🤣

@@BOGObiology except for that😁

Could you explain more for me ? So its not a valid theory ?

@@titicandysshorts8709he’s literally yapping the maths absolutely works out

So, what is your alternative? How do you feel life diversified?

I don't have a direct answer. I do have an analogy. Brueghel, Rembrandt, Picasso all used canvas, brush and oil paints to create their masterpieces.

@@CPHSDC we see organic chemistry happening naturally. So in your analogy the paint, canvases etc are all found existing in nature. We just found complex organic chemicals in the outer reaches of our solar system out past Pluto even. Further, we understand how they form. The stuff to form life is apparently ubiquitous. Now, can you answer my question? If you don’t understand or accept the current scientific consensus how did life diversify?

Ratio+bozo+yb better 😹
