This Place Actually the title of the video contains ''Baby'', and they probably use terms and tags of the videos to pick the best suiting ad for the video. I don't know if they actually do that on youtube, but I know that they do on other types of sites. *cough* *cough*
It's because of the very short lifespan of the flies. Basically, after mating and laying eggs, they are either dead or really close, like within a day close.
They're just fruit flies, one of the nastiest horticultural pest in the world. Eradication is being attempted by a number of countries. Don't feel sorry for them unless you enjoy maggots in your food.
It sorta is about abortion..... The moral of observing these other species and comparing with our own is that if you can't provide for a child (so that it doesn't become a criminal or something) and also if the child is to be mentally handicapped to the point where it cannot live on it's own when it's older.... Abortion should be not be an option, but a requierement.
+Ginger Spice propaganda and an actual factual arguement on abortion are two completely different things. just cause its something you don't wanna hear doesn't automatically make it "propaganda". some prolife people actually take time to learn about fetus' and the abortion industry.
I clicked on this video thinking it would be about female infanticide that occurs in some rural areas in the world. Although it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm glad I learned something new. Keep up the awesome work!
Mia Mallett If you want to be philosophical it was "fated" to be a human. However in the present I'm pretty sure a fetus has the consciousness of a Mussel, you're basically aborting a computer, a biological machine with set processes that is not self aware or conscious.
BEI studios Nope, because I wasn't alive then. I'm sure some parts of my matter were parts of a plant some point before so does that count too? Also, I never asked to be born.
BEI studios again, that wasn't me, I biologically was never there. I became me when my brain developed into basic human levels- and even then I could've turned out completely different. I leave myself I when my brain dies and I become a sack of decomposing meat. I can see this is subjective and philosophical, so you're not wrong- I'm not either, but I don't see it as being "me" just yet when a couple of cellular level machines meet eachother in the womb.
Hey Jesse its great to See that some youtubers take a lot of effort to be scienticfically acurate (Provide sources, information rather than opinions etc.) and do a lot of research while not loosing a sense if humor so it is really fun to whatch :) Keep going, cant really think of much Vetter Videos ^^ PS Are you doing the complete Video alone? How much time do you need ?
*sad music playing* "It's the time they spend apart that feels more freeing and they long for the....*music ends apruptly* then you put them in another vial.." This was cracking me up xD
Ah you remembered your references! Can tell you went to college lol. It's drummed in our heads over and over! Don't forget to reference! Plagiarism, plagiarism, plagiarism aargh!
+A Commenter But the lovely thing about doing references on the internet is you don't have to follow any specific guideline or be exact. Nobody is going to detract marks.
This Place Lol yep. I've just spent hours meticulously typing out references so kinda hate you right now :P Nah keep up the good work. Enjoying the channel!
The more I learn about the fine print of evolution, the happier I am that we're approaching a technological level where we can take charge of genes ourselves, and leave the suffering of this ancient competition mechanic behind.
+Darwin Award Or society is falling apart because people aren't empathic enough so they look at everything as a zero sum game to be resolved with whatever is the best personal result, which, since 'best personal result' is relative and often conflicting, leads to conflict.
+Kabitu1 For the same reason I despise biological nature and all organic life forms, with the exception of humans. Funny thought, that the same system that is based on death and suffering has equiped us with morality, the tool that seems to be incompatible with it's other mechanisms.
+Kabitu1 These "ancient competition mechanics" are wiping themselves out. When you have two fighting for the same resource, and one species is killing their own young and constantly fighting and miscarrying to survive, and the other species is pair bonding and working together to raise their children the best they can, that species will out-produce the other. It happened with homo sapiens and neanderthals, it will happen to bugs and insects too.
Thank you for talking about insects Insects are so feared and underrated that they need educational videos like this, I'm glad they had representation, a positive one at that
Finished watching TedEd's videos and stumbled upon this channel. The quality of content are impressively not to far off. You deserve more subs but since the contents are few, you're maybe affected by RU-vid's algorithm. Do you upload in a specific period? I would like to add it to my schedule on things to watch out for. Cheers
Why would you kill a human baby? It's so cute! >Everyone goes apeshit because humans are disgusting Why would you kill a puppy? It's so cute! >Everyone signs 329 petitions to protect animals and makes up a shit ton of morals on why animals are better than human babies. wat
Flappy Pancakes .....you can train them....And yes. Humans actually pee and poop on their diapers and it takes longer to train them. And to be honest, they are painful, annoying and expensive. Not that animals aren't, they just aren't as much.
his subscribers kill and eat their babies more so instead of growing up to make their own RU-vid accounts and subscribe, they become crispy baby nuggets.
I love your videos so much. In just a few minutes you teach people more about evolution than they can learn from most books that are hundreds of pages long. You are one of very few people that I have seen make videos that are truly unbiased and knowledgeable about how evolution works. Many people fall into the error of making moral or judgemental assumptions about evolution (e.g. monogamy is better than polygamy), which are of course always inaccurate, as evolution has nothing to do with morality, only to do with survival and reproduction. I am curious about two things that I wonder if you can explain to me: 1) how did genes develop the ability to self-replicate? 2) How did life develop from non-life (I have heard of abiogenesis, but do not truly understand it. Could you explain it to me?)
***** I would say those questions are very related... and the answer to both is I don't know. They say it's difficult to know because the specific conditions are unknown (although I always hear deep sea vents was the most likely) and the first life forms would have been eaten or otherwise left no trace. People have ideas and have been able to create various molecules under specific conditions, but I think that there is no standard model for the origin of life/replicators. The idea I've heard is that the molecule RNA could have been very important early on. Because it can both be the information (be a gene), and read information (be a protein like molecule). I feel like I heard someone had created RNA parts in the lab from just base elements recreating a deep sea environment.... or that may have been some sort of fever dream. Google "RNA world" if interested. Of the hypotheses I've heard it was the most convincing.
This Place Alright, thank you. Evolution is so amazing. Though somewhat depressing from an emotional human point of view. I feel uneasy knowing that I am insignificant and have no 'purpose' besides serving as a puppet for my genes to ensure their own survival.
***** If you want a less condensed, a more comprehensive summary on where we are now on abiogenesis than what This Place has given, read users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/A/AbioticSynthesis.html. Scientisits have been able to synthesized, using various assumptions about what the earth was like 4 billions years ago, self replicating RNAs, Functional Ribosomes, amino acids as well as fatty alcohols which can spontaneously self-assemble into a lipid bilayer. Also, as of 2010, researchers from J. Craig Venter Institute have published in Science that they have synthesized a specific genome, from scratch, and delivered it in the cytoplasm of a related bacterium ( Mycoplasma genitalium) and it ran that bacterium successfully. So when you hear people saying that scientists have already built a self-replicating, synthetic bacterial cell, that's what they mean (Or should mean). www.jcvi.org/cms/press/press-releases/full-text/article/first-self-replicating-synthetic-bacterial-cell-constructed-by-j-craig-venter-institute-researcher/home/
Just discovered this channel, and your videos are enjoyable and informative and your knowledgeable-yet-humble tone is very pleasing! Keep it up! You deserve more views for sure as people have said. I think it'd be awesome to see you do a 'guest' episode for Sci Show in your style. One of the QQ videos or something. I'm nobody of course but I went ahead and mentioned you on their facebook page anyways since I really like what you've uploaded so far and would love to see more!
Hey, I just met you! And this is crazy! But here's my subscription for your highly entertaining and funny yet educational videos with hilarious, non-distracting animations and clearly delivered narration... So take it maybe? :P
Great video, again. Your videos are incredible and I've been subscribed since you had like 300 subscribers, I hope you can grow your channel even more in the future
Baby could be taught how to earn money when big enough and help support you. Jackson 5 children became richer than parents. Also they might be smart find a cure for cancer, heart diseases and so on so could help you be healthier, they can also grow food so you would not have to buy so much food.
You make very informative, clear, and well animated videos. Congratulations on your great job, and please keep doing it. I would also like to know more about you. What are you studying or studied? You seem very interested on biology.
Blanca Levine I switched around a lot. Went to art school. Quit that. Then took environmental bio but took mostly soil chem/physics stuff. Then tried to be a baker after uni. Lost interest in that. Decided to try this till the money ran out, got a job making env economics videos for CSF ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z4AXnZOsrK8.html and do ThisPlace on the weekends. That's basically me for the last few years.
+Dom x I think the female was miscarrying because she "thought" the new male that was now hanging around would kill her baby anyway, so why continue to develop it. A miscarry is "better" because although some time and resources are lost, they are both less then the time and resources lost on having a baby then having the male kill it.
+Ravinian Humans are very social creatures, I doubt any studies have been done to test miscarriage rates due to male interaction. You would need to separate pregnant females for months at a time from any male interaction. Even so at the rates people come in contact with each other if women miscarriage due to new males being introduced birth rates would be abysmally low. So I doubt simple interaction with males has a noticeable effect on miscarriages.
+supernova743 they could do a study on people who are were in a relationship, got pregnant, and when they found someone new if they miscarried or if they continued on to have the kid. I'm sure they would be able to get a decent statistic as it isn't as uncommon as you may think.
+Dom x, all I know is that I've been told that female sexual development in humans is shown to happen earlier in girls without fathers, and it's said that fathers produce subtle pheromones that restrict puberty until they are outside of paternal influence.
Seriously Informative and VERY HELPFUL in understanding Animal Behaviours that are so Despicable and Revolting and just Devestatingly Depressing for a Human to fathom or ponder ..... This helps open the Mind in understanding Parental Behaviours that just come off so incredibly shamefully UN-Parentlike ; when compared to the context of a Human Being's Parenting Duties or Obligations or Behaviours ....!
Can you breed a fruit fly to NOT like bananas? If we know even this much about their sex life we should breed them to dislike bananas only, all other fruit is okay though. Or could we breed them to fight or race? Seems WAY less cruel to fight fruit flies then dogs lol.
Thank you, now I have the fantastic image in my mind of fruit flies battling it out in an arena. You would have to be a really good camera man to film it though, I guess it'll never catch on...
+Emil S. I said lizards instead of reptiles. Whoops. When coming across someone who is wrong, if we correct them (especially where it can be seen like here) we can help them be right and help others see where they went wrong. It is very bad to think that we are superior because of the ideas that we hold or build an "in group" and "out group" based on ideas. If we ever think we are right, all we have to do is explain why we're right and they will resonate with people. Putting the thought process out there will help other people understand, and help put our own ideas under the microscope.
DragonhunterZeroSeven Nineteen I seriously don't get what is ''rekt'' in here. Nowhere in there did I say that I was superior, just that he was wrong and it was pretty self-explanatory: lizards aren't crocodiles, crocodiles aren't lizards, lizards aren't amphibians and crocodiles aren't amphibians. I don't know what else he wanted me to explain. Basically he ''rekt'' himself in a video where he wanted to sound smart and educative and I pointed out his mistake. I don't know why you all think his reply is so enlightened. Can't he just accept that he made a mistake?
+Emil S. He did make a mistake, great job, you must not have read his comment, he just said that he made a mistake, Rekt is a meme, dippy, it's not meant to be taken literally, he did not "Rekt" himself, he made a mistake, he accepted it, and didn't care, you need to not take this so seriously.
Love this. I'd add that it's not random when males or females are in charge and from what I know part of it has to do with the fact that females that get pregnant can't reproduce at the same rate as the males, are vulnerable and are usually left with most of the responsibilities of raising children, while laying eggs externalises the process so there would be a wider range of sexual hierarchies i'd think.
Me too man oh I’m so relieved I’m literally pro-choice for actual abortion but they are just pump pathological liars they were about everything and they even claim that we don’t really care because we support a woman’s right to choose but they don’t care about refugees that are actually in danger hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites
