The part about the mutated DNA is insane. During the process of evolution, some of these plants basically repurposed and readjusted their basic plant tool-kit for a drastically different purpose. The fundamental working remains similar, clearly establishing a link to the original version, yet the execution and result are completely new.

What I find most interesting of all of this is how the underlying mechanisms for carnivory are rooted-pun intended-in the genomes of many plants, since they're usually used for defense against pathogens and herbivorous insects. With how common knowledge carnivorous plants are, it really surprises me that they aren't used as examples of how evolution works with what it has. Also, makes one realise how plants are very much alive and "aware" of the world surrounding them

@ohokay4663 Год назад

NC resident here- a lot of people don't realize how fascinating the flora of the Carolinas is! It's considered a sub tropical climate, very warm with lots of rain and varied levels of tree cover. The Appalachian mountains are home to some microclimates due to unique conditions in a small area, making the shale Barrens of the blue smokies home to the Eastern prickly pear cactus. Not to mention we have a very similar climate to eastern Asian countries like China and Japan, so a lot of plants native to that area grow here- Nice for willow trees, and interesting with the bamboo, but a cause for concern now that kudzu has begun to swallow the entire southeast of America. There are so many interesting plants in these states, I love learning about them!

I think its unlikely that oaks would take the path of carnivory because they have such robust roots that they should be able to reach all the nutrients they need without resorting to "extracting" them from more mobile lifeforms. They all have the potential but that doesn't mean that the same evolutionary pressures will push them all in the same direction.

In the end, she talked about creationists, I'm wondering why they still exist in the face of the mountains of evidence for evolution

@pieter-bashoogsteen2283 2 года назад

Because they are set in their viewpoint and don’t want to believe anything else than the creation story they’ve been taught. I think because it’s nice and easy to understand, of course they’re wrong.

@@pieter-bashoogsteen2283 I don't believe in any god, but it's not like evolution goes against their god, they just think that the metaphors in their storybook are literal, so they think the idiocy that is the creation story is real

@pieter-bashoogsteen2283 2 года назад

@@molag-ballordofdomination2065 neither do I. I guess they do take the creation story literal, luckily most religious people try to combine their faith with scientifically established facts and theories. In some countries like mine their is also a growing segment of the population who are non religious. Right now more than half (54%) of the people in the Netherlands are either atheist or agnostic.

A not insignificant number of the ones that post in comment sections are just griefers or contrarians doing it out of some mental issue they have where they need to get the negative attention. It's basically the unlikable kids in class demanding to be old at so they get some internal itch scratched that they don't get scratched at home.

Thank you for this! Charles Darwin’s greatest discovery ,evolution, often leads people today to think that was his only contribution. But Darwin was a great and thorough scientists whose keen observations led to discoveries that would have made the careers of lesser men. The detailed discussion you provide shows the importance of understanding how things happen. I had a “pet” Venus flytrap when I was a child. I remember well the attempts to feed it little bits of meat and the excitement of the whole family when it finally caught a fly.

Darwin was a lying hack. If evolution is a thing, where's the proof? Fossil records? Genetic materials? There isn't any. Our history of creation is in the holy Bible. It can be backed up by secular history, & science. Humans were never apes, nor Neanderthals. God is a loving God, not cruel. God bless & may Jesus make himself real to you. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth & the life. No one comes to the Father, but by Me." John 14:6

@sirBrouwer 2 года назад

if it had enough it might even stay open. with the change that the fly or better some social insect will come back. Some ants have been seen working around a Venus fly and feet it. they give the plant there dead or dying ants. keep the Venus safe. and in return they do get the opportunity to collect the nectar with out being eaten.

Love your channel and I've been enjoying it for a while now. It's unfortunate that "creationists" most likely attack you in the comments or say insensitive things regarding your belief in how life has come about, however, just because they do that doesn't mean you have to belittle creationists in return. There are lots of plausible explanations for how life has come to be that is scientifically backable and lots of discrepancies in evolutionary science as well... so it's important to search for truth but recognize our limitations of understanding as humanity and being willing to put down our pride of "being right" and allowing space for conversation. Using "ammo" to fight against the creationists seems to just be a defensive stance against people who may have wrongly attacked you. I say this as a "creationist" as you would call me myself who understands the realities of evolution and where it is true, but also the limitations of evolutionary theory and where scientists are just really guessing.

@kennmcfarland2457 Год назад

I completely agree I myself am a Christian and think evolution is a completely plausible way God could have brought about biodiversity. Just like the laws of nature, I believe could have God created evolution and make it happen. A good source I reccomend to anyone struggling with this issue or wondering how a Christian can possibly believe in evolution is Biologos. I highly recommend it to Christian and atheist alike. It is an organization that shows how science and faith don't conflict, but are actually in harmony, and a main topic of theirs is evolution. HIGHLY recommend.
