  • so sad that she died so young and never fully mature like her mother.

  • she should be adopted to elephants when they clone her

  • i have always been attacted 2 lyba. i even saw her in chicago.

  • I now proclaim VICTORY.

    My superior intellect has silenced the uppity Tithonus Syndrome.

    A seemingly hollow victory, akin to playing a retard at chess, but an overwhelmingly comprehensive victory nonetheless, but not without it's rewards, as the red-faced Tithonus Syndrome has now realised his station in life and has stepped back in line, where he belongs, far, far behind me.

  • My friend...nothing is certain but health and well being. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a tool.

  • Your self-asserted victory and contemptible projections of your own impotent fury onto myself are about as reliable as every other claim you've made without evidence. Your gut feelings are infinitely inferior to the entire scientific community of the world, and the fact that you resort to fallacies and self-delusion demonstrate this.

  • Thanks NatGeo for uploading this!!!!

    I can go back to my prehestoric research (This wouldnt be any more interesting for any other 10 year old boy than me)

  • There was always evil after God. God created Satan and he was good and beautiful and extroidinary. Then Satan believed he was just as good. God gave him a choice and he chose against God. The first actual act of "evil" was not mortal, but immortal. God is a wonderful being. No sarcasm used. The second evil act that we know of was the deception that Satan used so he would get Eve and Adam to eat from the tree of good and evil.

  • mammoths are big.

    that's because they're mammoth

  • Faith is belief in things for which you do not have evidence. (Religion is man made rules and regulations which have little to do with the Bible)

    But more to the point, no one ever said faith is science. It isn't and so it needs no evidence.

    Evolution is touted as a science and so it needs hard evidence. It has no such evidence for the connection of the skulls to the dates of the rocks nor for the believed connection to other skeletons

    Scientists see a subjective pattern to these found bones.

  • Sorry but no it is only a theory. There is no hard evidence that _connects_ the bones of one skeleton to another. There is no hard evidence that the date of the rock, where the skeleton was found, _is_ the date that the skeleton was alive.

    It's only a theory.

    Repeat, I don't care how God made us - creationist or evolutionist - the Bible says that only one thing matters - and that is obeying God's commands.

    1) Love God, and

    2) love your neighbor as you love yourself.

  • god is also a theory, there is no hard evidence that god exists. there is also no hard evidence that the bible is true....

  • And there's is also no hard evidence that what your saying is true right? the only thing that that you would say is it's "theory",the only evidence of everything that we say about theory is not always accurate just so you know.

  • yep! totally agreed upon. no theory we say is true. thats why its called theory. a lot of science is theory. and a lot of religion is theory as well. yes evolution is a theory. so is creationism.

  • No, no, no, no, NO. I can tell from the context in which you are stating your ignorant opinions that you think the phrase "theory" is indistinguishable from "hypothesis". Evolution was once a hypothesis until it was proven. Creationism remains a hypothesis because it is unfalsifiable and therefore lacking in any scientific merit.

    Gravity is a "theory" too, NOT a hypothesis.

  • dude.....theories are not proven....lol

    theory means not proven, theorEM means proven.....so yeah theory and hypothesis is basically the same thing. and evolution is not "proven"....and gravity is just what he call that thing that holds us down...so it is a fact...not a theory. a theory would mean that it doesn't exist...and we can all tell that gravity exists....duh.

  • A "theorem" exists only in pure maths. You are a liar, an imbecile, a bluffer of the poorest and most incompetent class, and you could not have tried a more doomed tactic if you had thought on it for a loooooong time.

  • 1.cover ur mouth

    2. make a wish.

    3.close ur hand (MAKE IT INTO A FIST).

    4.hold ur hand ( this fist) to ur heart for 5 seconds.

    5.send this to 3 other vids.

    6. 2morow will be the best day of ur life

  • I love japan, wish I could live there

  • i think the scientists should make a clone of this mammoth... would be really interesting to see this animal alive

  • april 26-waking the baby mammoth

    27-prehistoric predators eps. 4-5

    27-death of the mega beasts

  • Tokyo!!!

  • Shanghai is way better

  • Simplified:

    It's a hairy elephant. They ate things, had sex and died. Next subject. Cut into it's stomach and find out what it ate. Then clone it. put it in with other elephants so that it can learn their habits and you still have nothing new.

    It is a good find.

  • but how do they clone it?

  • The baby mammoth is so cute! So sad that she died a terrible death at such a young age, but good for us that she ended up so well preserved so we can study her.

  • i wondder if they can get her back to life

  • Impossible to bring back that dead elephant... but they can use her genes to make a clone, essentially bringing her back to life in another way :S

  • I like "The Golden Bough",basically,people go through three stages of life."Magic",where things appear to happen and no reason is sought,"Religion"where things happen and the reason is ascribed to a "god"or "gods",and then science,wwhere things happen and an understandable explanation is required/found for the occourrence.When we have found all the explanations,we will be "Gods".But evolution is a fickle,chaotic,and everchanging thing,we are "chasing the Devil",Loki is alive and well.

  • Dan Fisher a legend on the topic of Mammoths...

  • The only people who don't understand evolution are those most in need of it...

  • whats this about killing african americans? are you stupid? if anything i would kil lall racists for being stupid enough to even try to do something

  • yeah ,.,.,.i agree all black guy should die.,,,.kill them all mindless niggas.,,.all black are stupid

  • Before they die , you should learn proper grammar .

  • fuck you and your mother fucking mama,.,.,,.

  • what did they ever do to you?

  • they're both just theories, there are no physical proof, just hypothetical proof etc.

    no one has the right to tell each other's beliefs that its wrong, just keep it to your own you know.

  • Waking the Baby Mammoth was a great documentary.

  • the problem that "why these ppl are annoyed about the fact that God exists " is because the relegious men in past "b4 the industrial revelution" were copntrolling the ppl in the name of God ...thats why the revelution happened and they said " we are free , no body control us in the name of God" . but that doesnt mean that every relegion is false , the true relegion says : "no creature controls creature like it , the only one who deserve to be obeyed is only the creator" . and WE NEED THIS :)

  • greatness, superiority or inferiority is all just a matter of perspective, and in what context we speak, in order to convey a point.

    Our beliefs are not important. Religion isn't the reason people fight, it's Pride, ego. What matters is whether we are compassionate and kind people, not what we believe or do not believe.

  • Its sad when people talk about religion. people always blow it out of proportion. what i suggest people do is stfu about religion and go find out more about yourself before your dead.

  • Why are some people so afraid of even considering there is some higher power that started and created everything? Every discovery that science makes only magnifies the greatness of this higher power.

  • Not really... not really at all.

  • evolution leaves very little room for a higher being.

    its not that people are afraid of considering a higher power, its just that it doesnt make any logical sense to them. like, you dont believe in zeus, but at one time people really thought zeus was on mount olympus. people believe its purely sciences fault for lack of belief, NOT TRUE. it can also be because of the history of humanity itself, the existence of THOUSANDS of other religions(alive and dead), dont agree with the "teachings".

  • Evolution is about adapting and mutating to live more sucsessfully with an environment,it ain't over yet,we are still evolving,who knows what the world will be like in the future,say a million years?

  • Props to the animators.

  • i believe in science

    but religion can give you a good moral

  • 2:00 beautiful clip

  • Hey foddy, where are you? I didnt wake up till 2, i only had 7 hours of sleep the last 2 days. Let me know whats up, and i got next weekend off too so we can chill if you want...peace

  • fuck the mammoths

  • lmao.

  • cool, scientists encourage people to do acid and hallucinate on a park bench....

  • how cute...I want one! :) lol

  • its actually will become history cause it will be the only ice age mammal to live on the 26 of april

  • no mammoth steaks for you slek84! Also, you are to stop using youtube and any modern science. No food grown using modern techniques. No purified water. Good luck!

  • Wow that was a waste of time... Look if you have something of value to put on a video do so. This guy "meditating" upon the Mammoth is well only of value to him.

    I am a religious man but I don't see the value in this video out side of a vehicle for some animation company.

  • Cool vid,.. 5/5

  • Why does every National Geographic video have stupid religious arguments? I like Nature because of it's complexities and how diverse it can be... how a single bee can effect an entire crop.

    Look at science and nature as it is, don't say God invented the banana for humans...btw stupidest argument for god EVER! Be intelligent and RESPECTFUL of other peoples beliefs and stop promoting religion on science videos!! just stop! if your too arrogant to understand that then please drink some Javex.

  • anychance to bring this species back to life?

  • well i heard in china scientists are putting mamoth DNA into the undeveloped eggs of an african elephant. They say it'll start bringing the species back over time, but they dont know if its going to work...after all ^^; the DNA is millions of years old

  • wow if that happenss china will be the country to be filled with mammoth and highest rate mammoth attacked place sorry for my lousy english

  • well ya but its not in africa its all over the world they wouldnt do it in just one place, when they do , do this, it will make over time for the mammoth to Actually LOOK like a mammoths so ya over a 30 to 50 year process, i really hope we do have mammoths in the future

  • Woh are they joking with us or is this really real? I haven't heard of it on the news.

  • Hopefully we can extract DNA from the baby mammoth to clone real ones and raise them as both pets and delicious steaks.

  • motherfucker u think clever people go through so much trouble cloning for over a year and the first thing you wanna do is kill them and eat them how could you asshole

  • i meant to say fucking A

  • eighty millionth

  • I really do hope we can unlock the secrets of the past.

  • I great clip; I'd love to see the whole special/show.  I'm glad to see that the Japanese are continuing to do new & amazing research in humanity's quest to understand the past.

  • I thought this was going to be religious, but it's not, so it's okay. Religion is the enemy of life on Earth and Science is the friend.

  • Religion is also the enemy of knowledge on earth. Creationists tell people that dinosaurs lived a few thousand years ago alongside humans, despite everything we know.

    It would probably be sick to saddle up on a velociraptor but this is just retarded disinformation. Goooo science

  • In a perfect world, there would be no conflict between religion and science. But in a perfect world, there would be no need for the comfort blanket that religion is. BUT... this is not a perfect world.

  • holy shit I can't believe I just read that on youtube. You pretty much summed it up perfectly

  • "human is created to be the master of the world".

    Says who? Your "book"? That is amazingly arrogant bullshit!!! Human is NOT created to be master of anything.

  • But who/what says humans are created to be masters of the world, and by what basis is that claim made? Humans weren't even created - we evolved from less sophicated animals over milllions of years. And I greatly doubt that the human race is the best creature in the universe. I mean, we totally fucked up the world, and we can't even live without having the need for war. Religion is only a hindrance to progress.

  • man , look around you ...every thing around us , even the physical laws are designed to serve us , the low of attraction , the position of earth in the solar system , then animals are working to maintain a suitable condition for us to live well .

    the one who created this system , sent us also instructions in the message of islam to make us happy as well ,and made us free to chose to obey or not .and according to that u will be judged . :)

  • waaaaaaaaaaaaaw :) love your comment best thing anyone cold say

  • Physical laws are "designed" to serve "us"....

    Bwahahahahaaa!!!! Incredible! You religious people are just too funny.

    Human species has ADAPTED to physical laws. Physical laws were NOT DESIGNED to serve ANYONE!!!

  • well , who gave the ability to human to adapt to the physical laws ?

    he is the same who gave u the ability to chose to beleive in him or not .

    thats why u r responsible of every word u r saying :)

  • I think your wording is off - you want to know *what* gave humans the ability to adapt. Evolution is what gave humans the ability to adapt... sorry, Allah doesn't come into the equation (or any equation).

  • OMFG, why cant I want any vid on youtube thats educational without some fucktard creationist talking crap,.. I wish youtube would ban religion,.. nothing but problems, RELIGION IS FAKE, YOU ARE STUPID AND I USE CAPS CAUSE I AM COOL!!

  • Replace eye with ANYTHING else and you will find your answer, whos to say this is our true form, maybe in a few million years we will have 6 eyes or wings, who knows,..

  • Human will kill themselves by them. Or Aliens will destroy us.

  • If only that were true,..

  • Or SPARTA!

  • or u can commit suicide

  • "Because an eye is useless unless it is whole"

    Not true.

  • the eye evolved because of light. and radioactive mutation of cells over a period of millenia.

  • *sigh* Here's your answer: watch?v=fOtP7HEuDYA - there aare plenty more YT videos on the eolution of the eye.

  • The "problem" with the evolution of an eye has been solved. Just look it up.

  • Tell me, are you being intentionally dense? My 'equation' statement was rhetorical... do you know what that means? It means it didn't need a response. Plus, I didn't mean mathematical equations..... fuck! If Allah exists and you want to prove it to me (or anyone else), you, I repeat YOU need to produce the evidence. The Burden of Proof is with you....

  • That is so fucking retarded right there...proof means REAL evidence,something you can see,If you can't see a god,of course you'd think it was real...but based on science which is pure fact,it's totally fake.

    Retards like you need to think before talking.

  • *sigh* You silly man, we know that the human race has brians inside their heads because science has proved this fact through study of the human body. In other words, it is a material substance/solid matter that we are able to see with our own eyes. If you don't want to make a fool of yourself continually, then think your responses through before you write them.

  • lol ..so b4 the science proved the fact that the VIRUSES EXISTS...there were no viruses ?

    the viruses exist whether u beleive it or not because their EFFECTS exist . and GOD exist because his effects "universe" exist , whether u beleive it or not .

  • *sigh, again* Before Science discovered them, the Viruses were yet to be discovered. Science didn't bring them into existence, just like a mythical entity people call 'God' did not bring people into being. The 'universe effects' you atttribute to your god are the laws of physics, nothing more. I pity you, I really do - you believe in nonsense, and I pity you.

  • please respect the religion of others

  • PizzaIP, I don't have much respect for people who are over the age of 20 and still believe in Santa Claus because, unless they are really mentally challenged, it shows that they have been badly educated and refuse to educate themselves. So, no, religions get no respect anymore. Please don't fly airplanes into buildings anymore and that will begin to restore respect, but you have a long way to go after that!

  • Absolutely NOT.  ALWAYS disrespect the religion of others.

  • you believe in nonsense, YOUR god is science. i pity you you poor misguided soul

  • What's sad is humans feel a superiority to all other animals. We are the most ruthless animal on the earth killing each other like no other species, raping the earth of its natural resources and polluting it to no end.. and yet people believe that we are the children of a god.... Only a selfish/greedy species could ever think this way. The human race answers to nobody but its self. We either put religion aside and unite under the banner of the human race or die dividing our selves under gods.

  • Well, I wouldn't say we're the WORST species but we're certainly no angels.

    I do agree however that the idea that we are "superior" is wrong.

  • You've thought about this for a while huh? I agree that we're not superior... but I can't say that there are many, if any, animals that we can honestly envy their "selflessness".

  • human can be the most destructive creatures , but they can be also the most benefetial creatures helping to fix the world ...they have the ability to represent their creator Allah->(the absolute Mercy) .

    and this ABILITY to chose ...make them the best when they can be bad ..but chose goodness :)

  • There would be nothing to fix if we lived in harmony with our surroundings but we don't.

    It's all about profit.... that's what it comes down to.

    PROFIT = GREED = MONEY

  • how we can live in harmony when we dont know that "there is sthing much much usefull than money after death in the hereafter if u chose to enjoy this life in the way that your creator like , which is the goodness for all humanity " ?

    otherwise it we will remain selfesh and destroy the world to get what we think is the best "profit ".

    we need our creator and his right way - islam:)

  • I don't really understand what your trying to say mate.

    You don't need a "god" to love your fellow man and if you think you do.. then I really feel sorry for you for feeling that way. Please try to make your ideas more clear. I think you missed on my sarcasm in my last statement.

    cheers

  • you are so right

  • Wow I feel so sorry for you I love my life and I would still love it even if I had no money pleas think what you are saying!!

  • I completely agree, I have no idea why you think I would have thought otherwise??

    You guys obviously didn't understand my initial statement. Money is the root of all evil, plain and simple. Look at just about any crime and the cause is due to Money (or the lack of it).

  • Money is the root of "all kinds of evil". Crimes of passion aren't motivated by money, although just about every other crime is motivated by money.

  • True, that is one that can truly be disconnected from money.

  • No , not really. Money makes chicks horny.

    Women are whores. Women prefer men of higher status. Money = Status. Women all want to marry the chief, and they will give it up to the nearest they can get.

  • Oh for christ sake, get a book on evolutionary game theory or stop insulting everyone with your gut-feeling layman's bastardizations of sexual relations.

  • Dude you got no game

  • No, in fact, I have about a billion times more than you ever will thanks to my thorough understanding of evolutionary game theory.

    All I can expect from swine is a grunt, just like how all I can expect from an anti-intellectual emotions-rule-me prole is gut-feeling nonsense without facts.

  • Haha wow, you sure are eager to impress people!

    All I can expect from a pseudo-intellectual is prattle. You have no idea how to express yourself other than to force your views.

    Your poor logic and show-pony pretentiousness do naught but draw attention to that which you seek to hide: your succinct lack of self-confidence.

    Not that it's your fault, there's just a lot you don't know, and no-one can blame you for not having been exposed to advanced human-logic concepts.

    You'll get there.

  • "Eager to impress"? This is not a parsimonious conclusion, and the fact that you would raise it unsolicited is suspicious. The most parsimonious explanation for this attempt would be that you are projecting your own loathing for your need of the approval of others onto your opponents.

    So too is the use of the old chestnut "pseudo-intellectual", utilized by dimwits like Sean Hannity who want to feel learned and articulate in the face of a demonstrably wiser foe. Unsupported claims get you zip!

  • LOL dude the bloodflow to your brain could be described as parsimonious at best.

    Your opinion is entirely right from your viewpoint, because it is based entirely upon what you know.

    Your ideas cannot be wrong, because they are the conclusion your brain reached based on all the information it has. Your only answer HAS to be right, because it is the result of all the information your brain has.

    However, we don't share the same information.

  • I realize that you desperately, pleadingly want to believe this for your own emotional gratification, but you are glaringly short on evidence. Not that you'll let that stop you, of course, and you detour into solipsism with a side order of moral relativism while simultaneously patting yourself on the back furiously for this simplistic PHIL 101 parlor trick, forwarded not for it's usefulness or accuracy, but rather because it's what you want to hear.

  • My comment appears to have been misinterpreted as a proclamation of facts.

    I will edit and re-post my previous comment so that it is not seen as a challenge, but rather as a shared postulate open for feedback.

  • As an idea, it seems that a persons opinion is entirely right from their viewpoint, because it is based entirely upon what they know.

    It seems thus far, logical to me, that a persons ideas and conclusions cannot be wrong, at their own instance of resolution, because they are the results of the equation your brain has processed based on all the information it has.

    Any new info obviously alters or reinforces any conclusions.

    It seems being 'wrong' is entirely retrospective.

    What do you think?

  • I think you're a dumbfuck who thinks that moral relativism is profound and novel rather than infantile and self-refuting.

    Please. I discovered and abandoned this baloney half a decade ago. Try to keep up, if you can.

  • I hear what you are saying, and your opinion is entirely valid.

    You project so negatively, ' everyone looked at the car, not the driver '.

    It seems weak to attempt to discredit someone with insulting and dismissive phrases, but have nothing other than more of the same to offer as weight, substance, or reason.

    Your retort is little but noise.

    Perhaps you are of so much dislike because such ideas undermine your proclivity to deem others wrong or inferior?

    Please, ante up or opt out son.

  • As I recall, I exposed the unfounded and laughable nature of your claims about women as being unfounded hunches from your gut instead of the work of thorough scientific analysis. Then you tried to veer off-topic and evade having to own up to this like any kind of real man would, instead trying Ad Hominem fallacies and Appeal to Motive Fallacies.

    Go ahead, let's see what the next canard, the next fallacy is.

  • Quack quack

  • Concession accepted, peabrain.

  • wow ur good but............

  • So evil did not exist before money? GROOOOOOOOOOOAN.

    The world is slightly more complicated than your childish hippie view of it would suggest. So too are good and evil, and neither has any one single cause.

  • I never said the world wasn't complicated. But would that change the fact about money?

    Arrogance is such a great indicator for intellectual immaturity.

  • Making up bullshit claims pulled from your asshole that have no scientific research to support them is a great sign that you're a hazy-minded hippy who thinks that he can figure out how the world works using his petty, unreliable "gut instinct".

    Money is an indicator of goods and services, fool, and all you're going to do by eliminating it is necessitate a return to a hideously inefficient barter system that will only cause more poverty and suffering. Guess your "gut" didn't consider that?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • You're wrong: I have no god, because of Science. Seriously, Biology in high school is what started me on the road to Atheism.

  • yea since you have no god science is your god. notice how you put down Science and not science like regular people

  • Yes, I rever science because it teaches the truth, but I DO NOT worship science as a god, for science can have no personality... I merely use a capital 'S' to signify the importance of Science.

  • you feel some strange desire to argue with people on the internet saying that what their beliefs are arn't real and that you "pity them" for it. really your the one who should be pitied :(

  • Why should I be pitied, freshpicked? For not beliieving a fantasy set forth in a book of fiction (the bible, which was written by numerous people).

  • unlike you i'm not a fan of spending hours of youtube replying to comments.

    maybe you should research atheism more and find out the "holes" in it.

  • Freshpicked, what holes do you refer to? Atheim is, by definition, a disbelief in a god or gods. Where the fuck can there be holes?

  • Comment removed

  • i meant the holes in how atheists believe we came to exist.

  • Freshpicked, read a book on Human Evolution (or just watch some YT videos - I recommend the History Channel's "Evolve") - there are no holes in what I believe. Atheists believe in human evolution, and science has prroved that this is how we came to exist.

  • The _theory_ of evolution is only a theory. It is not proven. It is a conjecture based on what Darwin's observations of birds on separate yet once connected islands.

    The idea is that since these birds evolved over decades, then man evolved over several millennium. There is no evidence (I mean real physical evidence) which can prove this _theory_.

    I for one do not care how we got here - the Bible says that only one thing matters - obeying God's commands.

    PS: I hope to get my PhD in Physics.

  • All creationists claim that evolution is not proven. It's a theory, yes. The 'theory of Evolution' is a scientific theory. There is 'theory' as in theoretical physics, and then there is 'theory' as in the scientifically proven Evolution. It's proven by historical evidence and fossils (go read a book on Archeology). Honestly, if you don't know about the proven theory of evolution, fuck knows how you'll successfully get a Physics PhD. After all, evolution is *not* denied by *real* scientists.

  • Yeah - "theory" is identical to the word "hypothesis"! Wow is my English ever good! The "theory" of gravity is only a hypothesis based on hunches, so excuse me while I jump off some cliffs, right?

    The only thing you primitive savages and your Bronze Age book of voodoo are worse at than English is science.

  • It is the Law of Gravity - not the theory. Once a theory is proven to be correct it is elevated to a law.

  • Wrong, wrong, wrong wrong wrong, you deluded and denial-driven primitive. If you are correct, then you should have no trouble locating supporting evidence from just ONE academic peer-reviewed journal that supports your baloney statement. The fact is that you won't, because no such statement exists other than in your tiny mind, which is incapable of showing the spine and maturity to admit you were wrong.

  • Freshpicked, you are about as smart as a bag of hair.

  • ur pure bullocks........ get ur self a life...... instead of preaching on youtube.....

    if u don't believe in science, why do u watch these videos? because ur skeptic about what ur fat book says i guess,,,,,

  • too... many... replies to me. i'm not talking about evolution i'm talking about how atheists believe the universe was started... nevermind i'm done.

  • god created people or people created god? =)
