To start off Shark Week 2019, we're asking a seemingly simple question that might turn out to be more complicated than you had realised - what actually is a shark?

Biology just gets crazy sometimes. Or rather, nearly all the time

@dronillon2578 5 лет назад

This happens, when you are getting knowledge in pieces. Look at astronomy nomenclature. As we are understanding more and more the names we come up earlier stop being accurate and intuitive.

@nulllex0099 5 лет назад

@@dronillon2578 Aye, I can see that. It's just that I'm nothing more than an amateur with an interest in taxonomy, that studied for IT. In my field, ambiguity is the one bane we seek to purge at every turn, so looking at the other sciences that have been refined for centuries can get a bit mind boggling at times.

@dronillon2578 5 лет назад

@@nulllex0099 I have an IT background too, so I see your point. In my opinion, the difference here is, as You have mentioned, the time scales on which new discoveries are made. Physics and Mathematics have been researched for millennia, while IT is in decades range. In the former case it has been many generations, in the latter just a few if any. Plus IT builds upon Physics and Mathematics. But I agree, sometimes the naming in sciences can be very confusing. Specially when you are not an expert in that field. It does not stop me in trying to understand the fascinating world around us.

@nulllex0099 5 лет назад

@@dronillon2578 that's a terrific way to put it. Really, the death of curiosity is the death of advancing. It's just that, as far as personal feelings go, I'd just prefer it if it all were so tidy and neatly classified. Or if you want the OOP analogy, if I could run the whole script without raising exceptions. Alas, feelings don't really have a say in the matter. Still, funny to find someone else in IT in a biology video. You wouldn't happen to know a rather easy project that involved Big Data processing, would you?

@dronillon2578 5 лет назад

@@nulllex0099 I would want it tidy and classified too. The trouble is that once you start renaming things, you create confusion between old and new texts/data. So unless you can process it all at once (when we and all our knowledge is completely digital perhaps?), you might create more issues than solve. Or you would have to create the right names from the beginning, which is pretty impossible to do when you know almost nothing on the subject yet. Yeah, I have no idea if/when I will use the knowledge about sharks acquired here, LOL. It is amazing non the less though. Strangely enough, the more I learn about physics and space exploration, the more amazing and precious the life around us seems to me. Sorry, BDP is not my cup of tea, Im more of a user side kind of guy.

Swimmy things with a backbone. Herps and mammals are just strange land dwelling fish aside from the ones that went back to the water.

Fish are an informal collection of six vertebrate classes being Myxini (Hagfish), Petromyzontida (Lampreys), Holocephali (Chimaeras), Elasmobranchii (Sharks, Rays, Skates, Guitarfish, Sawfish, and Wedgefish), Actinopterygii (Ray-Finned Fish), and Sarcopterygii (Lobe-Finned/Fleshy-Finned Fish).

Back in the early eighties, I worked for a summer as a long line fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico. I will be the first to tell you, that sharks are a very diverse and complicated grouping of organisms. And those are just the currently existing species.

You can go back and add an audio overlay to that video, or just don't worry about it. Most people understand that science/biology is ever changing, always learning and evolving. I hope there's A LOT of reclassification in science!
