Trying to Make Sense of This Overwhelming World 

Agree

There's a sore need for that these days, isn't there?

Появляется животное на 5.25 с головой и хвостом вытянутой формы . Что это?

Lmaoo kinda know what ya said but then again Ya completely lost me!😂😂😂 Either way hilariously put!

No matter where we find ourselves on the phylogenetic tree, for many of us age is the karma of youth.

I come to the comments just for rotifer

This made me very happy. Good work.

You know how normies be with isms, they misuse them

Noah Jalbuena-Cook to be distinct from the concept of being based on nothing real. The image is artificial, but it embodies something that is real.

The Tree of Life is a damn useful metaphore & tool in biology. The main thing about any Phylogenetic Tree is to realize that it's massively incomplete & (with our current tech) always will be. For every organism which goes into a cladistic diagram, there are 99 extinct (or undiscovered) ones that we know almost nothing about. Once you grasp this it becomes much easier to see why we use the signposts of Kingdom/Family/Class/etc. despite there being way, way, WAY more divisions than in the old Linnaean Phylogeny Trees. (Think about tranversing a lineage, using a phylogenetic tree as equivalent to traveling a journey using a road with signposts & significant milestones...) The most important separation to know is that of Species, who can no longer reproduce (an essential factor for Evolution) with any seperate Species (or higher 'signpost') in a cladistic phylogenetic Tree of Life. The remaining clades are there to help us understand & explain the staggering complexities if Life.

ninthRing if they were mapped in 4d space, the species would actually make a tree, since it would map where they have been

All Phylogenetic trees are hypothesis.

haha

I went: 👁👄👁

I had the exact same thing happen to me

I see what's happening here

I still think they appreciate us and Skillshare.

I loved that game. I wish they'd bring it back, minus the flawed DRM scheme.

"Spore"*

Hee for years I've been seeing your comments on some of my favourite videos. It's become a strange pleasure to recognize you in the crowd. Keep commenting my friend; you've given me so many laughs and I just wanted to say thank you!

@@Skittenmeow Well that comment was certainly more than whelming! * tips an imaginary hat *

Someone has never seen Robin in Young Justice. ;P

Been a while, NM. Delightful little Easter eggs.

@@NewMessage * takes a courtsy and trips over at the awkward forgotten traditional movement * oops you're welcome, sir

Disco never died in the micro-cosmos!

They’re groovin’

I mean Hank pretty much IS mainstream science media. It honestly feels like he is involved in (launched, produced, written, or starred) pretty much every RU-vid science channel. This one does have a different quality to it compared to his other stuff however, and I definitely appreciate that.

@@Tinyvalkyrie410 It's sort of like the Broadway, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway thing. When referring to "mainstream science media" I had broadcast media, such as Discovery, Science, and the like in mind. True, there's also a mainstream within the sub-mainstream culture, but the comparison was on a more elementary level..

Did you get your microscope?

@@BirdWhisperer46 I did!

YES these are the perfect mealtime vids

I always save them for bedtime :) though I got hungry late for some reason so I just finished eating and watching in bed. Lol

Our existence is made from existence that always exists.

@@randywatson8347 Tao

You and me both, fellow multicellular animal. You and me both.

If you want more educational content I would recommend Hanks’s other channels, especially crash course. This channel is more about surface education as an inspiration, as well as entertainment. Think of it more like a BBC nature documentary than a biology class.

How do you know, you have only watched for 29 seconds

@@katakana1 Haha🤣

Katakana! These videos are always excellent so, he’s technically still right

Exactly

I already know

Hence scientific inquiry

@@nathancasebeer4005 Yes, but I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at.

I mean that I agree with your comment, about the overwhelming and awe inspiring complexity of the physical world. We have only scratched the surface of what can be known, but what we have learned has been thanks to rigorous scientific inquiry. Science is about admitting what we don't know and investigating in pursuit of truth. I'm only getting at that this is path forward, and commenting aimlessly in a moment of quiet reflection.

@@nathancasebeer4005 Thank you for explaining!

Что за водяные медведи???

Don't know but even bacteria have methods to deal with infections. Restriction enzymes are the most known but there are many other means. Those can be seen as a "primitive" forms of an immune system.

If you count CRISPR and related systems found within Bacteria and Archaea to fight off viral infections it is going to be a tiny microbe. Defense plays an important role in surviving especially if you only have one cell.
