BIRD EVOLUTION AND ADAPTATIONS:-

Beginning with Archaeopteryx, this video looks at the emergence and adaptations of birds. Feathers from modified reptilian scales and hollow bones allowed flight, and this footage also looks at feather pigments. Other bird characteristics are also observed, including eggs, nests, offspring precocity, and migration.

  • @goshawker07 dont try to belittle others to make yourself feel superior. Then again you are an evolutionist, and Darwin did teach Natural selection for favored races. The same theory that adolf hitler and stalin borrowed for slaughtering millions who they felt were inferior. Get off of your high horse. Were all going to the same grave one day. Were all equal then.

  • @wollin20 Irreductible intelligence is bullshit: Only stupidity is sometimes irreductible.

  • @YamiYami17 "it's shameful for a scientist to speak about evolution": Well, science did finally learn how to fly, and even how to mechanically reproduce birds' flight. It is then not so ridiculously complex, since we can even do it!!!How did your Muhammad helped comprehension of flight? Which part of the Quran helps to explain how it works or how to build an aircraft? Not to mention the 9/11 fundamentalists used this scientifically invented gliding birds for their purposes!

  • The Air dynamics for birds is ridiculously complex! i mean until just 3 months ago that we could built a stupid robot that can little bit fly like real birds!

    it's shameful for a scientist to speak about evolution.

  • @Joshuajlawn they evidently did. can you belive that you where born from combination of sperm and the egg inside your mothers womb? incredible right? but same way we have bottled feetuses and fossils of featherd dinosaurs. the level of evidence for evolution is as strong as it is for people being born from eggs and sperm.

  • @Joshuajlawn ...what are you talking about?

  • Once upon a time, 14 millions years ago, lived a girl, who wore a red coat, her name was little Red Ridding hood...........

    Hmm fairy tails for adults, just lovely! Can people actually believe that feathers evolved from scales of a reptile? Really!

    Education? oh my you do need one. Feathers molt like dog fur?? Please don't pretend to know anything of the complexity of the timing and sequencing of the molt, and or the extreme complexity of the feather structure itself. Your logic is absurd. This is my field of expertise, Natural Biology, and Bio-genetics, go to school and then we'll talk.

  • @goshawker07 did you know split ends in hair helps insulate? the same for the equivalence in scales which scales also evovled into hair

  • @goshawker07 there is no "logic" in natural selection, natural selection doesnt think or make choices. feathers molt like dog fur. please, go get an education, atleast a elementary school level
