Note: The experiment in the paper was conducted twice using different starting populations of worms. Both strains yielded similar results. In the video I average the data together to simply the presentation. The qualitative result is the same.

If you wish to translate the subtitles you can download them from:

Then send me a link to them and I'll add them to the video.


And remember to always, Think about it.

50 generation?? I have a hard time believing that. That means they did this experiential in year 750 AD...lol, can anyone explain that? Not defuting evolution but wondering

[cdk007]

I don't know if missed the part (pretty much the entire video) that showed this was done on worms.

[FattyMcFox]

Sex. It is the evolved thing to do.

[Gurneesucks]

Bro it wasnt 50 generations of humans...... worms dont live that long.

[VictoriaCALL911]

YAWN!

The creator of this video has a persecution complex. ;)

[hihihi3ish3]

Because it feels good.

[Daenny83]

what this video ignores is crossing over events during meiosis, which also contributes to genetic variation! which might be at least as much important as mutations

[CuteStarGirl]

@undiscoveredit the lifespan of the worms is probably like 1 week a piece silly guy. He didn't mean human generation's he meant those worm generations...
