  • Thumbed up because I found it funny, even though the discussed science was bad.

  • Actually, humans have already adapted to different temperatures. Usually, the closer a population lives to the equator, the darker their skin is to shield against the sun. People from warmer climates tend to have bigger noses and less fat under their skin. Of course these don't always work. It seems like humans are actually rather slow to evolve. But, if we're gonna evolve due to climate change and such, I figure people will just all be black in the future.

  • the fallacy with liberal doctrine is that they dismiss the past as irrelevant. Not only in terms of politics but with the environment. They make Global warming out as the doomsday. It might shock them to know back in 900-1400 ad, a similar warming happened only, get this, humanity saw a period of growth and prosperity! If anything we should be thanking them for helping us, as this could be the thing humanity needs to get its economy back and running.

  • @ZKoftherebellion Global warming is not a liberal doctrine, however liberals believe it because it fits in with their general world view. Conservatives don't believe it for the same reason. However the fact that the earth is heating up is a fact. The BEST study which was in part funded by the Koch brothers, proves the earth has been heating up.

    The earth is warmer now then back in the medieval times. CO2 is at record levels and so is temp. It is a fact.

  • Photosynthesis metabolises all available carbon dioxide from the air

  • adaptation, evolution, mutation is all the same thing you fuckers.

    they all fall under the theory of "survival of the fittest."

  • The lack of understanding of evolution is astounding. The guy behind the scenes seems more knowledgable. It's a mistake to think climate change isn't a concern because individuals better adapted to climate change will survive and form new species. Evolution occurs over long time periods, and because climate change is rapid, organisms are unable to adapt. That's why climate change IS a concern, evolution will not "save" life as we currently know it, and we must act to reduce our impact.

  • 2 different sharks fucked, a hybrid baby was born, evolution.

    It doesn't have to be more complex than "individuals like to fuck, & the offspring is a blend of two individuals". I mean if 2 ants in the same hive fucked what'd that do? They all got the same DNA.

  • @MyTemporaryAccount88 That is not how evolution works. Hybrids are not how specification works. 1 species become 2 because of environmental changes. 2 become 4, 4 become 8 and so on.

  • + 1 Steve, for evolution in a nut shell

  • EVOLUTION CONNECTED TO FREQUENCY OF THE SUN THIS HAS INCREASED 1995,accelerates evolution, just as nano-tech increases information age=EVOLUTION. Technology doubles every years Organic info every 7-5 years Technology Dragging Humanity along!

  • The butchery of evolutionary theory and climate change brought to you by TYT... Embarrassing.

  • ....watching TYT talk about anything scientific is just plain embarrassing.

  • @SurvivorVeteran1 This planet has only existed for four and a half billion years. Life, for about three and a half billion years.

  • @Jackthemeat lol not by a long shot. I absolutely love this guys username i saw just the other day. I think he has the best one. I think im one of the worst ones.

    His username was "Jesussaveswithgeico" lmao

  • @Demarcoa Thats a simple wikipedia definition :P

    But thanks. :)

  • @BigTuna77777 Im actually white. So by my user ID you AUTOMATICALLY assumed i was racist? I guess its true that you really cant judge a book by its cover huh? :P

  • @crackerkiller89 omg omg so you're a white boy, you've never heard of someone hating their own race which I think is the case you have because why the fuck do you have that as your youtube id. In any event your name is HIGHLY offensive to many people and racist and don't be suprised if your id is flagged. Your fucking wrong in this one boy, either admit it and deal with the consequences or go get a new account dumbass. BOOM.

  • @BigTuna77777 My account ID was made to show that there are plenty idiots out there, such as yourself, that decide how someone is like just by superficial means. And to this day, it has not failed to show me who the idiots are, and who the curious people are. Thanks for showing me you are one of the idiots.

    And in case it wasn't obvious to you after that, i do not hate my own race. I do not hate the human race.

  • @crackerkiller89 All it does it bring hate upon the youtube community and you can't even admit that you need a new id name, wow dude man up, you have no fucking balls man, all your doing is trying to sound cute to cover up your bad choice. I'm done talking to your stupid ass. Fuck you.

  • @crackerkiller89

    "So by my user ID you AUTOMATICALLY assumed i was racist?"

    To be fair, having a racist name does suggest you're likely to be a racist, similarly if you went around with a shit with "niggers picked the cotton for this shirt" written on it, it would not be unreasonable to think that you might be a racist and/or a troll.

  • @sdrawkcabgnipytmi TYYYYY

  • One step closer to land sharks! I knew SNL was right!

  • Newsflash, were all going to die.

  • @tdt5000 So the numbers change a bit, ok. Still, A lot more than Wikipedia lists, so please provide a source, best one that does not place East Pakistan in America.

    Oh, and, any comment on the right-wing/christian terror I mentioned?

  • @tdt5000 One more thing: If your point would simply be that the name "The young Turks" was chosen a bit careless, then I might be inclined to agree.

  • @tdt5000 I see your point now! I disagree of course, it's silly to put the organized murder of 2.5 million people by the authorities into the same box as (accd. to Wikipedia) 13 deaths that you have to stretch to put the blame on jihadists.

    But these 13 are all from the Fort Hood shootings, what are the 66 acts of terror you are referring to?

    (Right-wing terror causes 43 deaths in Germany since 911, terror attacks by christian extremists caused more than 200 casualties in 2011 alone.)

  • Cenk.... evolution is a random process. If u gonna defend evolution theory atleast read a bit more. I love u man, but sometimes u fail.

  • @tdt5000 So what's your point?

  • its so hard to understand how people can deny evolution, and then even the people who accept it cant seem to understand it... its SO simple. and it's not spontaneously growing arms

  • Surely if climate is changing they evolve!?

  • @tdt5000 So Cenk and Ana (who is of Armenian descent) killed 2.5 million people a hundred years ago?

  • Then how about blacks fucking white and making babies? Is that evolution as well? The sharks just wanted to change their 'taste'

  • @polarspirit are you refering to polar bears mating with brown bears?  or are you being racist? . The first known hybrid bear was found recently and its believed that because of extensive change in habitat due to global warming polar bears are being forced to find new sources of food moving them inland and into brown bear territory.

  • Stupid phone...., breed. They just don't die all once. That's kinda what I got from the comment. But I may have gotten it out of context.

  • I believe that your coworker meant to say that the non mutated sharks die out and the mutated shark which can survive in the new conditions bree

  • I can't believe these idiots think it has anything to do with climate change. "Ugh guys we're running out of funding ... I KNOW!! Let's say it has something to d with climate change! HA We're genius!"

  • @PsychoKai97 The fact that humans are able to pass on hereditary diseases due to advances in medicine is still evidence of human evolution because there is a change. In the past hereditary diabetes was life threatening so it appeared infrequently in human populations. Today, its frequency is much higher since insulin can keep a diabetic alive long enough to reproduce. Just because this trait does not make humans "stronger" does not mean human evolution has stopped.

  • You don't know that man! what is that from? lol

  • I love evolution, but evolution and cross-breeding are completely different. They weren't used with enough distinction in this story.

  • I may not completely support evolution but I definitely support the idea of adaptation to newer things because that is common place and is happening.

  • @Laranarutolover You do not "support" evolution? I guess evolution will be very sad about that.

    Oh, and by the way, Evolution (the parts that are not simply fact) is one of the best supported theories in the history of science. We know much more about evolution than about eg. the theory of gravity.

  • @Laranarutolover then you support evolution as that is exactly what it is....

  • "Evolution" and "Survival" are two distinct traits. "Evolution" occurs through mutation... "all" organisms mutate, but not all mutations survive. "Survival" occurs when the mutation "adapts" to its environment... organisms that do not adapt to they environment become extinct. The current species of Humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are extremely adaptable... and have an outstanding chance of survival. However, considering the current Republican Presidential candidates, one might argue...

  • @nsx1com that's incorrect, evolution is the process of adaptation over generations, which is (in most cases) through mutation, selection AND recombination

  • @595o - Typical non-sequitur... in relating to the context of the video, I was differentiating between "Evolution" and "Survival". Please re-review the video.

  • @nsx1com 1) Evolution can also happen through recombinations (somewhere of course there need to be mutations, but not for a particular evolutionary step).

    2) Evolution is a form of survival.

  • @595o - Actually, evolution and survival are two distinct traits. Humans have proven that they are able to survive in a massively wide variety of surroundings: hot, cold, wet, dry, at the Equator, at the Poles, at sea level, at altitudes, etc... they have done so by "adapting" to those environments. Now, if you would have said "adaptation" was a form of survival, you would be correct.

  • @nsx1com Could it not be said that evolusion is the longer term result of adaptation. After all the theory is that environmental pressures caused beneficial genetic mutations that are passed through the generations. Your genes do change from when ur born to when u die. These mutations are one adaptation after another resulting in an over all evolutionary leap. It doesnt happen through one or 2 generations. So in a way adaptation and evolution are the same thing but on different scales.

  • @scottasing - I agree, but only as far as saying that Evolution, Adaptation, and Survival are similar. i.e. in an ever-changing environment, only the mutations that adapt will survive.

  • next were gonna have sharks with lazers on there heads

  • whoever does the subbing is freakin dumb..please listen well to the reporters so that you'll know the exact words coming out from their mouth.

  • @tootiekaixo Its automatic and run by youtube. If your referring to the transcript. But its really funny how bad it picked up what they were saying.

  • hybridization is different from evolution. The sharks may have evolved to adapt to colder or warmer waters. This allows them to mate with a species that is genetically similar to them (they must have recent common ancestor, this is the only way a species can mate with a different species, they must be enough genetic material in common) that they were once separated from either geographically or by climate.

  • @Ant1Live "3) Third variable problem. If a true correlation exists, how can we be sure it's a causal relationship?"

    When you know the mechanism. In case of CO2 concentration, simple experiments demonstrate CO2 absorbs the infra-red range of the spectrum. The CO2 heats up, and so does the air it forms.

    CO2 concentration is one of the players. For example, water vapour is another well known green house gas, but it can also help reflect some of the light from the sun.

  • I think they're mating because they like to fuck.

  • @Ant1Live Thanks for your interesting questions. I completely agree with Rushlimpballs, user/greenman3610 videos are very informative, and well referenced.

    1. Ice core is one of the best ways, as they combine temperature with CO2 levels. The amount of certain O2 isotopes are good temperature proxies.

    2. Are you asking whether CO2 is a greenhouse gas? maybe watch?v=SeYfl45X1wo answers your q?

    3. Good question. To be continued. :P

  • Seriously, for a bunch of atheists these morons have no understanding of evolution.

  • Evolution is tha DEBO!

  • i thought it was hybrids between lasers and sharks

  • BAD EDIT... AGAIN! Thumbs this up if you agree!

  • I want my 4 minutes back. This was not informative.

  • There is no such thing as human caused 'global warming'. Why is everyone ignoring the scientists that reviewed the data Al Gore used and found it to be falsified AND missing essential data on previous ice ages and heating/cooling periods? What about all the scientists AND DATA that have proved gw to be the scam it is? Are the majority of people in idustrialized countries so stupid they believe whatever the gov and media put in front of them without doing their own research to confirm or deny?

  • @JHandcock1111 Are you a scientist or just some dumb fuck that think most scientists are wrong?

  • @thezipguns - You may wish to read my comment again, as I am guessing from your response you did not comprehend what I wrote. At no time did i suggest that most scientists are wrong. Good luck on developing your reading comprehension, and I am quite willing to have a civil discussion about the matter after you have correctly absorbed the views in my comment, which I must say is quite easy to understand. :D

  • @JHandcock1111 You're right. Carbon emissions created by humans doesn't have an effect on climate. Good call questioning my reading comprehension when you obviously have trouble understanding scientific findings and logic, You must have been a Rhodes Scholar.

  • @thezipguns I wasn't questioning your reading comprehension, I determined how much you actually got from my comment from your response(Very little.). I understand the findings, as I have extensively researched both pro and con, including raw data, as should u if u wish to have a intelligent conversation about the matter. My point(once again) is the real facts are being ignored and scientists who publish those facts are being censored, demoted and fired. The public is being lied to-for what?

  • @JHandcock1111 GHG absorption of IR radiation is simplistic to track if you have a satellite and CO2 has a very specific absorption peak. We have seen that peak grow ever since we put the satellites up in direct relation to the amount of CO2 emitted and with positive correlation to the amount of global warming experienced. This is simple quantum chemistry of assymetrical absorption.

  • @cidvisions omg somebody with a brain. you get em.

  • @JHandcock1111 So, all a big conspiracy then? Tens of thousands of climate scientists trying to... do what?

  • We wont evolve.

    Republicans will still hold us back.

  • Shark remained the shark he dint't evolved into something else.

  • @MrPsychedelia101 you realize that evolution covers changes within a species as well right? You're attempting to differentiate between micro and macro evolution which as everyone should know is nonsense. This is only a religious distinction, not a scientific one.

  • @TheMorbidlycute It doesn't cover the changes within a species because these changes do not lead one species to transform into another.Lions may develop adaptation to a harsh enviroment, but they will remain lions, they wont transform into something else. Richard Dawkings decribed evolutionary processes as The Blind watchmaker, but do you honestly beleive that blind watchmaker, architect, or engineer can make anything?

  • @MrPsychedelia101 Yet again you are wrong... Changes within species over a long enough period of time lead to new species. evolution is a gradual process also it is not a blind process. The adaptations that are the most benificial to survival are passed on and adaptations that aren't are not for the simple reason that the animal doesn't live to pass on those genes.

  • @TheMorbidlycute That's a distinction without meaning. By the time the "new" species arrives, the "old" is dead anyway.

  • @yvranx not always. You can have break away groups of animals that develop separately. One may change quite alot while another may stay pretty much the same as the niche they fill didnt change much requiring them to adapt to survive. that why you have so many closely related species like apes and humans ect....

  • @TheMorbidlycute Ah yes, but that's a different case, since both species exist at the same time.

  • @yvranx how is it a different case? 1 species does not need to be extinct in order for another species to evolve. you seem to think that in order for evolution to function the entire species has to develop exactly the same adaptations. Only a few individuals within a species need adapt as long as they are isolated from the rest of the group in order to form a new species.

  • @TheMorbidlycute I know that, but I'm not the one claiming that a species changes over time, creating a new species. Change does happen of course, but unless you have a speciation event, ie. a fork, I would doubt that a "new species" is created.

  • @MrPsychedelia101 its really not a hard concept, i fail to see why you believe in evolution over a small period of time within a species but cannot see that over a long period of time with accumulated adaptations you end up with new species.

  • @MrPsychedelia101 Biology does not claim that Lions change into anything but lions. You are attacking a straw man.

  • @MrPsychedelia101 You obviously didnt bother to read that book. Dawkins was making an analogy based on a common argument used by christians that life looks to complex to be natural. Seriously... just look up the wiki. It'll dispel your ignorance on this particular claim. And yes i beileve that natural selection is the mechanism used in evolutionary processes. 

  • @MrPsychedelia101 Lions will develop adaptions and still remain lions sure, but after enough adaptations they will no longer be recognizable as lions, they will be a new species. Is that really so hard to understand?

  • @TheMorbidlycute I already made this point to him and he missed it. There is no micro/macro evolution in science.

  • @MrPsychedelia101 your ignorance of evolution is showing. Who makes the claim that in order for evolution to be true a species has to evolve into a new species in one generation?

  • They are just so stories...

  • @tdt5000 What the fuck are you getting at you childish get?

  • YOU DON'T KNOW MWE AND I DON'T KNOW YOU

  • Wow, this is one of the crudest explanation of evolution i have heard in a long time. It's good that they understand that evolution is at play here, but they really should look into it a bit more, because it's these crude explanations that make people doubt evolution... You need to explain it properly if you want people to understand you.

  • @Denixen They try, but yeah they do need a science advisor.

  • Natural selection: Those fit to survive in the new envorment pass on their genes because they survive better. If you survive less well in new enviroment, then less offspring from you. Obviously, those WITH those better qualities to survive have better fitness and thus get to spread offspring.

    Better fitness is thus variation which leads to speciation in time. Ofcourse, no human would ever grow 6 arms since our ancestors didnt have such. BUT our ancestors had tails and we dont... anymore. ;)

  • creationists dont deny microevolution, that is variation within a species. It is the common ancestor theory that is controversial.

  • @dogagas

    No, it's not controversial.

  • @dogagas Anyone who accepts one while arguing against the other doesn't really understand it. It really isn't that difficult, though.

  • @dogagas - Bull. To begin with, micro and macro evolution are meaningless words coined be creationists who can't even agree on their meaning. And there's nothing at all controversial about common ancestry - unless your dogma tells you to ignore every single piece of biological evidence.

  • @dogagas The "common ancestor theory" is only controversial amongst the uneducated and the mentally challenged.

  • Evolution is incredibly easy to beat. Even a mediocre undergrad can produce something in 20 minutes that evolution couldn't produce in 10 ages of the universe. Intelligence is the superior optimization process.

  • @DeJach To be fair though, the building blocks you'd use themselves evolved. It's like Carl Sagan said, "If one wants to create an apple pie from scratch one must first create the universe." ;)

  • @sammykaine Yes, the first Replicator arose from the simple and fundamental laws of physics, and it evolved into RNA which evolved into DNA. (And since then the replication method has been static until we, that is our Intelligence arisen from DNA, came along to -design-.) Counterexample of a building block that itself never evolved: rocks. (You still need to create the universe to get you and the rocks from scratch, of course.)

  • @DeJach "And since then the replication method has been static [...]"

    I disagree, Epigenetics is one new method, there might be others.

  • @DeJach So the intelligence created by evolution is superior to evolution?

  • @yvranx Yes, just like the superintelligence humanity will eventually create (if it survives long enough) will be superior to human intelligence.

  • @DeJach Not the same thing: The superintelligence will have a higher intelligence; you have a straight measurement.

    Both, however, will simply be part of Evolution.

  • @yvranx Except not really. Yes, the first intelligence is the product of evolution, the superintelligence is not. It's a product of something evolution made, but that's not useful to reason about. Similarly human intelligence is a part of fundamental physics which produced evolution which produced human intelligence, but that's not useful to reason about. What matters is optimization processes, and intelligence is the best one currently in existence.

  • @DeJach You initial statement is that "Evolution is incredibly easy to beat", yet all options you have presented are the results of evolution.

    Any AI is just a tool created by humans, just like sticks used by crows. Without evolution, no superintelligence would be possible.

  • @yvranx Yes, without physics, evolution would not be possible. Yes, without evolution, humans wouldn't be here. Yes, without humans, and therefore without evolution, superintelligence won't happen. This has no bearing on the statement "evolution is easy to beat", because evolution by itself could never make a Ford truck. Homo sapiens built the first in less than 100k years or so, now we can do it in a day; that's not evolution working indirectly, it's human intelligence working directly.

  • @DeJach So would you agree to the following statement: "Physics is easy to beat."

    I think our issue comes from another direction: I don't think it is useful to think about evolution (or physics) as something to beat. If a pilot aims his plane to the ground and accelerates, does he "beat gravity"? WGAS?

    In addition, evolution does not care about intelligence, so your statement is akin to "Picasso's paintings are prettier than evolution's".

  • @DeJach What remains is that humans can do certain tasks faster (not necessarily better) than evolution. BFD.

  • @yvranx I don't think you fully understand the notion of an optimization process. Allow me to anthropomorphize the fundamental laws and evolution for moment. All the laws "care" about (at least in quantum electrodynamics) is stretching and shrinking and spinning little arrows. They are very good at this, and nothing else. (I wish I knew where reality got its computing power.) All evolution "cares" about is increasing the copies of a gene, it's good at that and nothing else.

  • @yvranx So the notion of a process is what something "cares" about. Now the notion of optimization. If evolution were smarter, it'd hate mutation, and we'd just have a single gene making more perfect copies of itself. It'd also work faster. We optimize evolution's cares (and introduce some of our own) and get around natural selection and enforce artificial selection--we cross-breed plants, animals, introduce new chemicals, etc. We're not masters yet but we're getting there.

  • @yvranx I'm also not implying more IQ when I say superintelligence, I'm talking species-level. For example, our superintelligent descendants ought to look at modern humans the same way modern humans look at ants on the intelligence spectrum.

    Evolution has simple equations behind it that we discovered over 60 years ago. So does intelligence, but they're different equations and intractable to compute directly.

  • Cenk understanding of evolution #fail.

  • climate change has had a huge effect on north dakota but because most of the people here are under educated, they are not dumb, just ill informed, they do not see it. There is so little snow that the normal winter hobbies are impossible and the high temperatures are so high people are saving money on heating.

  • it also appears that the human race has evolved people like dick cheney and the wall street bankers who are willing to destroy the whole human race to make another dollar to add to the billions they cant possibly need or want, except in the sense of some twisted pissing contest. you can imagine cheney and limbaugh choking each other to death in some post apocalyptic wasteland they have created. then theyre both gunned down by pat robertson seconds before he realizes theres nothing to live for.

  • humans arent as dependent on evolution as other animals. when we want to go into space, we dont have to evolve the capability, we put on a fuckin space suit. the same way we put in air conditioning or heat or fur coats or dog sleds, etc, etc. the main threat to our existence now is the republican party. it appears humankind has not evolved enough intelligence to be able to communicate to christian fundamentalists that they are electing people who want them to perish in slavery.

  • Maybe the shark just got confused

  • NEW STORY IN!!:

    Nobody in America understands evolution except Steve Oh.

  • We are always evolving, but insta-evolution such as adapting to global warming demands mass death, so...

  • Great sound-bites! Fuckin sharks!

  • How is that the definition of "evolution"?

    I'm not religious, but I'm from Europe and have an Asian wife. Does that mean that my family has evolved???

  • I think this is more of an adaptation than a evolution. We as human can live in a winter part of the world then couple years after living there so long you move to Egypt for some reason and be extremely uncomfortable however you adapt to the weather change shit even the time zone change and adapt to it. Also I would like to say Cent mention hairy mutation in the hopes that he has been part of the hairy evolution to survive cause hes probably a hairy man.

  • Evolution AND Climate Change? Conservatives heads must be exploding all over the place.

  • ten thousand points for the Austin Powers soundbite

  • Let me know when sharks start mating with lasers, then I will be concerned.

  • Since you all have it all figured out then you don't need my input. Hopefuly one day before its too late people will figure it out.....its the hisyory of man to figure it out when its too late. Good luck!

  • Blech....who'd have sex with an Australian on purpose?

  • Did they say that they decided to breed with each other because they needed to adapt? So the sharks are picking mates based on what genes they want for their offspring? lol

    Try Bio101 guys

    They could migrate to a different area that had more favorable water temps and encounter other sharks and interbreed.

  • Note to self: Don't go swimming in Australia.

  • "i hab never seen u! and you hab never seen me!" oh my god why did that make me laugh so hard

  • Ok Cenk here's the deal: we love you & everything, yada yada yada. But how about - for every ten political articles you read, you also read one chapter of The Selfish Gene.

    For all our sakes.

  • Cenk,

    The next major step in human evolution is going to be the merging of us with our technology. I think we'll be the first species on the planet to accomplish evolution by design, as opposed to evolution by natural selection. It's gonna be some wild stuff man! I could say, watch TYT in my field of vision while I'm walking around a park. Maybe, I hope so that'd be sweeet.

  • some1 please answer where that's from the quote "i don't know, and you don't know me" at 3:03

    - i am hoping it's from a movie.. a funny movie

  • @dr1094 it was Mae Whitman's former housekeeper talking about her firing when Whitman was running for governor of California back in 2010 at a press conference represented by Gloria Alred no less

  • @shango02005 Have you read "The Selfish Gene"?

  • @CenkIsAdorable Not yet, unfortunately. It's on my list. :)

  • @shango02005 You should definitely read that book if you're interested in the theory of evolution. Changed my whole perspective on the fundamentals of the theory. 

  • @CenkIsAdorable Thanks for the tip! That will definitely be my next read. (reading Sam Harris' The End of Faith right now)

  • So why are they misrepresenting a natural hybrid with evolution?

  • Comment removed

  • i wanna see an octoshark, 8 x 4 rows of teeth bitch!

  • @WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT Like Alex Jones, he's a scientist right?

  • @TheRepublicOfUngeria Humans are still evolving. Positive mutations are happening now

  • Until it can shoot lasers, I'm not really interested

  • The sharks are mating to reproduce? YOU DON'T SAY! Sorry guys, just had to be a smartass there. Just too easy.

  • Climate change is a part of evolution Ana. It changes the "preferences" of natural selection so that now animals who are better adapted to this new climate survive and breed and those who aren't, don't. Then the subsequent generations have mutations and when the mutations make them better suited to the new climate then those survive and all of these pile up across time and geography creating an ever increasing variety of life forms, and that is evolution in a nut shell.

  • Ana, Cenk, both of you obviously have no idea how evolution works so stop talking about it.

  • @PeterK1984 Yeah I agree..stick to politics, TYT. 

  • @PeterK1984 well since you know how well it works, why wont you explain it.

  • @pistolp91 In 500 characters? Is this supposed to be a joke?

    But for starters, Steve summed it up pretty well. There is no direction to evolution. It's not "If this and this happens animals will evolve to deal with it". It's closer to "If this and this happens animals who through an earlier mutation are better suited to survive, survive and the others die out or get bred out".

    Cont.

  • @pistolp91 A good example is cold resistance. We all know people who walk around in T-Shirts in November but it's no advantage in a mild climate.

    But in the ice age that resistance would have allowed them to hunt in the winter months. They would have survived the winters even if other starved and would have attracted more mates (Somebody with food is attractive when you are starving) and produced more offspring.

    The trait has already evolved but nature does not select for it.

  • this is not even news, what the fuck.

  • @Hafazeh

    Did you even attempt to read the title.

    It's pretty blunt.

    This is NOT your Local News Station. It's TYT.....and they report what the fuck they want to report. Obviously.

  • @joi12345678 i get that its TYT, but what the fuck? this is like MTVing news, whether you'd like to admit it or not. this is massaging the progressive muscle and laughing at conservatives or whatever disagrees with that view. That's horrible.

  • Humans are evolutionarily stagnant because there is no more pressure to cause natural selection and everyone has a chance to breed. If I had a kid I would choose the best genetics for him or her even if they weren't my own, but I still think it's wrong to force people to do that so until we advance far enough in genetic engineering we will not improve on the biological level per capita.

  • What are the dislikes for this video all about?

  • @fizXgirl314 I'd like to know too!

  • It's hardly evolution if it happens so quickly.. Evolution takes millions of years to happen, not a few decades..

  • @TheColin42 Huge changes take millions of years, but evolution happens every generation by definition. Evolution is simply genetic change over time in populations.

  • Wait, aren't these sharks just like Mules? They reproduce together to make stronger offspring, but the offspring can't reproduce themselves. Let's wait a few years before we call this evolution. If the hybrids can reproduce, then we'll talk about evolution
