The evolution of the horse is often portrayed as a simple progression from small, 4 and 5-toed browsers to the large, one-toed grazers of the modern-day - but the truth is so much more complex than this.

@thenerdbeast7375 2 года назад

@@RC.- That is completely unrelated to what I am saying. Yes that is a valid issue but not at all what I am talking about. Just because someone else is suffering doesn't detract from issues here in the US. What I am referring to is how in poorer and more rural parts of the country some people don't have access to reliable internet and because internet is still considered a luxury companies can have full exploitative right to price hike if they see fit. When the pandemic started in particular there was a big problem with learning at home for children because the sad truth was some kids didn't have internet and were at risk of falling behind. Like how owning a cellphone has become a requirement to applying for a job now it is starting to be the case for internet as well especially with more folks working from home. The internet should be a right in this day and age, not a luxury.

Great video! I live in a flat on my sister's farm. And she has horses. I' m not around them much because she takes care of her own animals. But I think I'll go outside and pet them now, and reflect on this video.

@sampagano205 3 года назад

I really like this video, it's always nice when paleo youtubers give focus to the evolution of mammals given how it can feel underfocused on compared to archosaurs who kind of absorb all the focus. One thing I'd be interested in is if you have any plans to talk about the paleontology and evolution of squamate lineages, because as a herpetology student now, I feel like it's my duty to point out that they don't get nearly enough love.

Imagine if Anchitheriines never went extinct. Imagine how cool it would be to have forest horses be a thing, just roaming the forests of North America and Eurasia, along with deer and other forest animals.

Listening to these types of videos almost makes me amazed how much humans have changed the course of natural history, even well before we realized we were doing it. The fact that prehistoric humans made some species extinct and saved others is just wild.

The passion for evolution displayed in this video is just so good! I didn't expect it to be a 40-min video and just clicked it because I haven't watched this channel in a while. I'm glad I did~ But what's the difference between premolars that look like molars, to actual additional molars? I really got intrigued. A lot of new tabs to look things up were done~ Great content right here!

@Deeplycloseted435 2 года назад

@@thomasneal9291 as a professional student until I was 30, trust me when I say, that the student immersed in the literature, is often the most knowledgeable. What they lack in field and research experience, they make up for by having a voracious appetite for reading and adding to their knowledge. No one can truly keep up with the amount of science happening everywhere and being published constantly. Its just too much.

As someone who learned how to ride a horse before she could ride a bike this was an excellent video. I've loved horses all my life..53 yrs. Rode, shown, trained and bred several breeds in my years.

@tommyblansett9254 3 года назад

Interesting looking forward to part 2. If where to have a series covering animals of South America before the Great American Exchange especially those that resembled the Horses, Camels and Hippos should also be interesting. Developing and selling books on these animals should be a great source of income for your channel.
