So in your proposed series will you have a video on beneficial and (what's the other word?) I'll try 'retrograde' genetic mutations? I've been reading about the evolution of the Y chromosome recently and the argument is that it has undergone repeated beneficial mutations leading it to become substantially physically smaller than it's X counterpart.
@XXY4Life1 I haven't taken a biology class that focuses on genetics so no. I'm just going to talk about the physical manifestations of these genetic changes that have developed over time to create human beings as we are today. I talking macroscopic, not microscopic.
I don't know about the beneficial mutations part because, again, I haven't really read about genetics, but the Y chromosome is indeed much smaller than the X chromosome so it's mutated in some way. That's why sex-linked traits exist.
@funsizedchoco An interesting idea has been proposed to me, that those of us born infertile can advance the evolution of the species by providing adequate care for offspring our fertile members. Something like that anyway.
good to see you back ,I do fear the information you are bestowing is not news to the majority of your subscription base, but I will forward this to steve harvey.
@Zito773 I dunno about that... Some people I know prefer politics and philosophy to studying science. Which is fine cause we each have our own interests. But this is going to be pretty detailed if I do say so myself haha
Forward away... but who's steve harvey? haven't been keeping up on YT things... lol
@Antichryst666 Had to look up the actual term so to be honest I can't really speak too much on it. They mentioned on the Wiki page that ppl have said that our head size is a result of neoteny (to look like baby primates) and I can't bring myself to agree with a statement like that... *shrug* It's not something we ever covered in class, and we talked about theories of why and how we evolved.
Oh this could be interesting. Tell me are mutants like men and women with Kallmann syndrome and males like XXY's beneficial to human evolution or the product of flawed evolution?
@XXY4Life1 Couldn't answer that cause I really don't know much about the syndrome... Given your YT monicker I'm going to assume that you have it, so you might be able to answer this question that would decide this. Does having this syndrome help you pass on your genetic material (ie. reproduce) in any way?
@funsizedchoco I don't have any genetic material to pass on, lol. XXY also affects other (or is it all?) mammals and fruit flies, and marsupials too I think? If we weren't human we'd be sterile and Kallmann people never enter puberty without medical assistance and would in the 'wild' never become sexually mature. I do know an XXY guy who thinks being XXY is an advancement of evolution, that we're a higher level of existence, which is not true, but some people are weird. :)
@XXY4Life1 I'm not sure how being XXY can be an advancement if you can't reproduce... That's kinda the whole point of life from a strictly biological perspective.
I hate to put it this way, but (in your words) being XXY is a "product of flawed evolution." My acid reflux is probably another flaw of sorts (sphincter malfunction), but it won't really affect my ability to reproduce so it can be argued that being XXY is negative to fitness, while acid reflux is relatively neutral to fitness.
@funsizedchoco Yes I agree, I'm hoping the person who made the suggestion sees my comment and your reply, and you are the perfect person to reply. Anyway on the level of macroscopic evolution, did you know that all people with a 'simian crease' I'm certain you know what 'simian' means, have a genetic mutation? But not all people with a genetic mutation have a simian crease. My simian crease causes me to have interest in primates that's all. :)

Oooh, I like the fancy new editing style. And I'm already learning (ape != monkey in English). Looking forward to the next video.

@NoNiceNameFound haha 'tis very fancy :D I'm glad you like and that you're learning. yay!

This sounds like a fun series. Good to see you back. I wonder your thoughts on neoteny and it's effects on human evolution.
