So technically they are like a TV screen that has a electrical signal sent to them sending a message to the skin changing cells (much like rgb pixels) and making the skin change colors to match its environment. These things are HD tvs thats awesome.
@IncreaseProduction stfu, stop trying to come off as "noble" to impress your nonexistent girlfriend/boyfriend. the cuttlefish is not being mistreated, harmed, or put into any type of danger. how else are researchers supposed to study them if they can't examine them up close? and for all you know they released it right after doing this video. get over it.
@IncreaseProduction and im sure you would say fuck research lets just go back to living in a cave. Dont you lab mice it might hurt them they are breed to die. Its like the guy below me said they are feed everyday. no one is trying to eat them or hurt them . that sounds okay to me.
@litledevel15 they dont change much because they are already pretty close to being a perfect animal. that which survives well already wont change much. if a creature has trouble surviving, the ones best fit to survive reproduce. how is that hard to understand?
Because, of what you said, how could all of that of what you just said, happen by chance, along with ANYTHING in this universe, idk, it just doesn't make sense to me. I don't think we're here just for the hell of it.
@litledevel15 i tend to side with science over religion. i am agnostic i suppose, since the existence of god has never been disproven by science. evolution does exist, and i may be able to prove it to you. its as simple as this... do you believe that parents pass on genes and traits to their offspring? as in... do asian parents always have asian kids, or red haired parents will have red haired kids? if so, you have to believe in evolution.
hmm that example is a little concord. Parents who have red hair doesn't mean that their children are going to have red hair. Red hair is simply having two copies of a recessive gene on the 16th chromosome. Parents that have a brown hair can still have a blonde baby as well. And the Asian example? Explain how a mom in England had twins, one baby being black and the other being white. Or explain how a white couple has a black baby.,,
@litledevel15 yes, ok bad example. but since you do seem to have some knowledge about how this all works, you do in fact believe that parents pass on their genes to their offspring? good. in nature, those creatures who are most able to survive in their specific environment are the most likely to reproduce and pass on their genes. thus the species adapts over time since the ones able to survive reproduce. thats all evolution is really. small changes over time.
Yeah maybe for Deer, that works great! But Darwin even said that during the Cambrian period, it makes his ideas of natural selection false. Because Organisms had just showed up in that period with no evolutionary background at all. Here's an example as well, you have an organism with incompatible eye it keeps breeding with others and it eventually gets a fully working developed eye? That's all the backing of what you've proposed. I'm not being mean, I just don't get how it works.
@me700gnomes it would appear a little of both. More so evolved into a "second nature" subconsious reflex that it is able to do without thinking about. It would appear to be more reflexive though as the cuddlefish are colorblind
@me700gnomes I guess the closest anaology would be, it's like a human blinking, it's technically done manually but is a subconscious reflex that the body does without having to think about it.
These are amazing and intelligent creatures. Because they do not have a brain like ours does not mean their world is not rich and vibrant with color, form and socialization.
I'd like to hear an explanation of how natural selection could have incrementally selected for and blindly collected all the relevant complex data to have an accumulative functional color changing biological fabric (skin). Is it not true that these creatures color blind? We are supposed to believe these creatures who have no conscious knowledge of light unintentionally happened to gather the right information from generation to generation? A blind undirected process could create this? Rubbish!
@androcracy Lack of explanation doesn't make ME want to revert to superstition. Rather, I am inspired to use the scientific method to devise experiments to disprove falsehood and move toward truth. Or aren't we supposed to think?
@claycommons au contraire when (or if) you start to think you will realize the limitations of the explanatory power of Natural selection. Are you a Darwinist or Neo-Darwinist? Into Lamarck-ism? The scientific method is empirical and reproducible not theoretical on the Darwinian level. The hypothesis need to be confirmed before "facts" are asserted.
@androcracy natural selection has nothing to do with whether these animals have conscious knowledge of light. It's simply that those who began to mutate and develop this ability survived long enough to reproduce, and those who didn't died. It's not a blind or undirected process.
@livin4lax09 Yes Natural selection is an un-purposed, blind, un-directed, un-intentional, un-aware process. The adaptability to different environments already exists in the genes. Environment does not give information to the genes, it just pigeon holes the expression of the genes. Information has never been exampled to have been added to DNA by environment or mutation. The most that can be said is that genetic information is being re-arranged and if anything on a whole information is being lost
@androcracy u really dont have do think about it.. we proved it loggically (us muslims) the other way around so not much hearing from the "monkeys" is needed unless they will bring something else there lame theories that supports them in the end.. its like the whole thing is a "bully trying to ignore his principal so he can bully others comfortably".. so relax;).. you will probably find answers that look powerful and confident but you cant really squeeze out a solid point.. just some chitchat..
@mcdudly00 Hey guy, I know you're trying to communicate something, but I'm not sure what. You've got a couple of "run on" sentences. Also I'm not sure if there is a context your comments fit into? What's this about "Monkeys"? Evolution theory doesn't teach we've descended from Monkeys, but a common ancestor. What have "muslims" as a group proved? If you're talking about Islam itself, I'd say it hasn't proved anything in relation to modern Science.
@mcdudly00 If you're trying to argue the benefits of approaching scientific theory from a Monotheistic framework then why not instead be acknowledging the European Christian and Jewish contributions to Science. Leonardo Da Vinci, Nicholas Copernicus, Galileo, Nicholas Steno, Sir Issac Newton, Einstein etc. Even in the more recent decades it's obvious what Nations the most prominent scientists come from; Europe, British commonwealth, USA, Israel, Japan, South Korea.(I hope I haven't offended you)
