The Insane Evolution of: Flight 

Flies and misquitos are true flies as they only have 1 pair of wings unlike other flying insects

@@youtubestudiosucks978 their rear two are just extremely reduced in size making it appear like they only have two, they’re adapted to act as counter weight gyroscope for balance iirc

@@youtubestudiosucks978 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halteres?wprov=sfti1

I knew that insects could fly since I was a little kid. Not unknown at all.

@@justincraig398 you know what I meant

yeah i always fing myself calculating the conversions in my head half the video

Even better: instead of?

@@peterfireflylund Why not both? Only using the metric system is more in line with the scientific praxis but it would make the video less accessible

@@char1211 Qu’ils mangent de la brioche! ;)

@@peterfireflylund Idk man, I don't think I'm strong enough to deal with ignorant peasants. At least they're tolerable if you educate them :/

Always. Great video production, excellent narration, and fascinating topics.

I agree

I'd give a 9/10 for the inaccuracies, pointed out by others. I have spotted some in about 1/3 of their videos.

@@stefan_popp dang, oh well. I'll have to watch more scrutinously

@@stefan_popp ahhh thanks, already got a bit suspicious after seeing the credits list and not seeing a researcher or at least a fat checker role in the team 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🤓

Pterosaurs, and dinosaurs in the theropoda and sauropoda clade all had the same method of breathing, so they all had phenomenal stamina. Other dinosaurs [ornithischians] and crocodilomorphs [including todays crocodiles] all have the same breathing method but with no airsac. Yes: crocodiles have extremely efficient respiration. For this reason it is believed that the ancestors of crocodiles {from the triassic} were warm blooded terrestrial animals. Another characteristic that points to this is that crocodiles are the only ''cold blooded'' animals with a 4 chambered heart. Aside from crocodiles, only birds and mammals have 4 chambered hearts.

Unlike this comment

thanks for sharing didn't know about the opposite birds :0

Also, birds don't beat their wings up and down, they beat them like swimming through the air. You can see a lot of videos slowed down so we can see how they move. It's like a butterfly stroke. like she described the old flying dinosaurs

@@morkovija the K-6 extinction event was a blow to almost all life on earth. Even among mammals there was an entire lineage that was wiped out. Crocodile species used to be diverse but got reduced in the aftermath, and so on.

​@@Ratty524 Could you tell me to what lineage of mammals you are referring?. There were lots of individual species and probably families that got wiped out within Mammalia, but I'm not sure which ones they were. There were lots of lineages of mammals that thrived during the Paleocene, including the multituberculates, pantodonts, tillodonts, and taeniodonts but these got wiped out somewhere near the end of the Eocene.

I might add that the iconic Hesperornis and Ichthyornis and their closest relatives (which were closer to living birds than the Opposite Birds) also got wiped out.

I appreciate the clarification. I had BVB read somewhere that bats are more closely related to carnivorans and pangolins than they are to rodents and primates

Thank you. I multiple instances they were referring to arachnids (chelicerata) as arthropods, and I was like "hmmm I I think they did a mistake here because they are all arthropods lol". Like at 6:15

It also didn't include beetles as animals that can fly 1:54

But it seems petty like a correction of grammar.

@@craigb8228 No, not really. It would be more like asking someone to stop using foreign words because they don't understand them.

1 meter is like 10 centimeters longer than 3 foot. this makes it a little easier over time

Do you give these small criticisms to male RU-vidrs? Seems like a dick move to me.

@@teej008 just women obv Male youtubers can not describe something in a way i wouldnt understand (: Brooo what are u thinking

While you wait. McDonalds.

EVOLUTION designed this?? A basic summary of what that means... In the beginning was nothing but then it somehow became as big as the universe. Then there was dirt and water but then somehow it became alive. Then there was an organism but somehow it had the structure and information to reproduce. Then one decided to be a male and somehow another organism became female and somehow at the same time, with fully functioning structure and information, they reproduced. Then they grew branches, then arms, then fins, then legs, then wings, and breathed water and then air and now we see them all perfectly mutated to flourish in their ecosystems! Seriously, Have you considered how a butterfly came to be? What came first, the egg? caterpillar? chrysalis? butterfly? What mutation could cause a crawling creature to suddenly hang upside down, dissolve its organs and appendages and 2 weeks later emerge as a flying creature? And then find another butterfly to reproduce? Truly a fairy tale! How did the grub get these incredible organs? Mutations don't give new information, they corrupt existing information. It is glaringly obvious we are part of creation. The world around us is so incredibly complex that design is the obvious, logical and scientific conclusion. Jesus was a real historical figure who claimed to be God. He also confirmed that he created the world and was coming back a second time to reward and judge the world. He proved this by rising from the dead and fulfilling many prophecies. He also foretold what would happen before he would come again. These things have been coming to pass more and more. He loves his creation and has a purpose for everyone of us! But the evil we see in the world is not from God. We have a cruel enemy and you can see the devil's handiwork more and more. Please look into this urgently and with honesty. God is not a policeman in the sky, nor is he a genie that grants wishes, he is a loving Father who is caring and merciful and rewards those who seek him. Do not decide who God is by looking at religious people, you must decide who God is by reading what he says about himself in the bible. Then you would have judged fairly. Start with John or Luke. These are eyewitness accounts of what Jesus said and did. There are many resources to answer your many questions. Especially on creation and evolution see creationdotcom. Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55) For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20) To realise that your life is precious, you are loved, and you have a purpose, is real freedom and responsibility. There is an epic heavenly battle for your soul! You're never alone, reach out from wherever you are, Jesus is there, trust Him.

Well u learning wrong she said land animal to sky animal, evolution evolved from sea ta sky den land🤦🏾‍♂️Dis world is dun 🔥

that and probably temperature regulation the same way mammals have! Like Yutyrannus which lived in colder regions and was covered in like a feathery fuzz.

@@SillyNep That´s probably right since pterosaurs had some type of feather covering as well, so they probably evolved in some ancestor for temperature regulation.

awesomely religion is declining. wich is logical sinds we know from history that religion isnt a good way to explain things. much better to ask questions instead of just assuming things. first step towards knowledge is realising what you dont know something.

@@theflyingdutchguy9870 True! It's a shame spirituality doesn't work that way. A faith without question is just fanaticism.

What is plain earth?

@@thegameranch5935 A translation issue. He probably meant flat earth.

It’s so funny how people can watch this video and believe in evolution. Literally every single thing that was said disproved it lol. Oh yea wings developed randomly and it happened on 4 different occasions.

Interesting point, so rather than developing flight, in their case it may have been more a question of a means to control flight. With that said, to be quite honest, I do think there is something missing in the theory of evolution as it currently stands, much as I try, I find there are just too many cases where an incomplete mutation will give no advantage or actually act as a hindrance against selection and no more so than in development of the wing. Add to that the behavioural changes that must accompany those physical mutations and, aye, there's just too many very serious issues there without any satisfying answer for us to be able to treat evolution as a working theory that describes how species are created in its current form.

That mega finger just kills me

@@Subfightr 😂😂 yeah bat wings seem very normal compared😂

would be pretty scary tho. maybe we would have never made it out of the jungle then. altho giant eagles did hunt our children in the past

"Would be interesting to research which kind of breathing they had" They had unidirectional breathing like birds. All archosaurs use the same breathing system outlined in this video, so that includes pterosaurs, dinosaurs (including modern birds) and crocodilians.

True. I think i learned more here than my 6 yrs in highschool.

absolute full endorsement 💯

Thanks for the tip

A foot is about 1/3 of a meter . An inch is about the length of your longest fingertip . A yard is about the same as a meter but a meter is longer by about the length of your index finger. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. Subtract 27 from the F temperatures and cut the remainder in half. This only works between or 32F - 104F and isnt completely accurate but will tell you if you need to take a sweater ( jumper) with you😊

@@dancingnature see, this is exactly the sort of thing that doesn't help. If I have to stop the video and take out a calculator I've already lost the plot

flight is flight whether self-propelled or not. Again I refer you to Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary p. 1023, which defines “wing” among many other things as “any of various organic structures esp. of a flying fish”. Don’t try to reinvent the English language. There is no such thing as a “true wing.”

It's arthropod-iest

Examine the counter perspective so your not just hearing from one side. Here are 15 PH.D scientists with a very different opinion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sCK1qFnB_zU.html

It didn't happen no such thing as evolution

I'm evolving to fly right now.

So aliens are evolved humans that adapted into space ?

I remember in one of the old Ratchet and Clank games, one of the planets has flying whales. At first I kinda laughed at how ridiculous it was, but after I thought about it for a minute I was like hold on..... I guess that could actually be possible, on a planet that has an atmosphere with the same viscosity as water on earth.

Even earthdwelling evolutions are miraculous to me

@@markzuckergecko621 Yep, water and air aren't just different density fluids, we and whales are buoyant in water because we are less dense. Flying whales would need very dense atmosphere and low gravity.

@@andytheindividual3862 what a retarded question.

Gliding is not flying.

@@AlbertaGeek not _yet_

Indeed not yet

Seems pritty close in evolutionary terms to me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QQ2Ij1tskno.html

Also flying squirrel

Most of the world is fluent in both, or at least able to figure it out. It’s the imperial countries that need all the help they can get. 😂

Thought the same except i belived there to be more then 3

Idk if you’re actually American, but most Americans do know the metric system. It’s taught to us in school from the time we’re in first grade lol.

@Hannah Winterhalder Is it the imperial that you can use without your head 😮😂

How?

@@FreedomAnderson I don't remember the specific parts of the video, but defects, which the early forms of adaptation would be, would usually be eliminated from a population, rather than proliferated. The assumption that the theory of evolution makes is that every single micro mutation had to be beneficial, which I don't believe to be possible. Also, evolution is also studied as fact rather than what it is, a theory - so a lot of inductive reasoning is used. It's like a detective who assumes someone committed a crime and only looking for facts that confirm their assumption. I know microevolution happens, but macroevolution leaves me skeptical.

@@Last6_Months "evolution is also studied as fact rather than what it is, a theory" Evolution is both a fact and a theory, they arent exclusive terms. Evolution is the phenomenon that we factually know has occured, and the theory of evolution is the mechanism and esplanation for that phenomenon. The theory of gravitation doesnt mean that gravity's existence is some unproven assumption.

@@ericpeterson9110 I said micro evolution is a fact. Macro evolution is still theory. Gravity is a fact, the mechanism by which it operates is a theory

@@Last6_Months Exactly. You understand what the therm theory means but refuse to use it correctly. When you say Macro evolution is "still a theory" you might as well say gravity is "still a theory".

can you make a list of mistakes from this video please?

It really bothered me when they didn’t talk about how birds have pneumatized bones.
