    Great video Rowan by the way I have a question It is possible to clone the Indohyus,which is similar to a deer by extracting DNA from an artiodactyl such as a chevrotain to compare it with the DNA of the whale to find out if it matches modifying the genome through generations and thus giving shape to its ancestors, which also includes reviving the mesonychians since they played a very important role in the ecosystem but is it possible that their ecosystems continue to exist?Greetings,this is my opinion ❤

    Hair dye is a bad example. By the same token we can consider physical location to be a trait. One which most organisms pursue teleologically and for which and acquired change is almost always inherited. If Alice moves from Belarus to Chile, her offspring after reproducing in Chile will be born in Chile, not Belarus. She will likely then go to a hospital in Chile to give birth, an example of teleologically striving to have her child born in the best possible location, and then probably move with that child to a neighborhood with food educational opportunities, low crime, etc. More teleology. Physical location acts in a way that is heritable, acquired, and teleological. The important thing here is that neither dyed hair or physical location are genetically encoded traits. Lamarck does not claim that EVERY trait is subject to acquired heritability or teleology. He claims that adaptions to genetically encoded traits are. So just like physical location is not proof of Lamarckian evolution, hair dye is not disproof. The fundamental assertion of Lamarckian acquired heritability is that adaptions within an organism's lifetime alter the germ line genome and pass down the encoding for these adaptations to the offspring. Not that if you break a limb in an accident or wear clothes that your offspring will genetically produce clothes or broken limbs. If anything Lamarck would predict that the adaption in response to breaking a bone (healing a bone and reinforcing it with additional bone growth) would signal to the genome that their offspring should have a predisposition to reinforcing that bone. Likewise, it predicts that a tanned farmworker will gain a genetic predisposition to produce darker-skinned children, while a pale aristocrat will heroin a genetic predisposition towards lighter-skinned children. It predicts that a reptile which has acclimated to producing high activity enzymes for a cold environment will produce offspring with a genetic predisposition towards working with those types of enzymes, rather than thermostable enzymes. It also predicts that genetic predispositions can be acquired without a change to the organism's body. i.e. never using the hind legs would be predicted to mean not just muscle atrophy and a predisposition towards low muscle mass but offspring with reduced hindlimb bones and pelvis because these went unused in the organisms' life. That is, the bone loss in the offspring teleologically extrapolating from the muscle loss in the parent. Lamarckism is much harder to disprove by thought experiment than it is often given credit for, which is why Darwin didn't even reject it. It took until decades after Darwin's death to actually rule these things out, except of course that they are only even ruled out for genes themselves. That is, the things that tell a cell what molecules it can produce. Gene regulation and expression, however, that is, the things that tell a cell which of those molecules it actually should produce and when, not only don't rule out these kind of mechanisms, but actively rely on them to at least some extent, though this is been overstated by some.

    Ah. This aspect of whales disproves teleological guidance toward land-dwelling. It doesn't disprove teleological guidance in general. Even his original formulation of life teleologically striving to be more like god does not seem to be contradicted here. Are whales closer to being an omnipotent omniscient benevolent omnipresent divine being than their ancestors? What kinda question even is that? All it proves is that teleology towards living on land isn't a thing. Further, it does nothing to disprove heritability of acquired traits or teleological germ line mutation based on life experience. Don't get me wrong whales probably aren't doing any of that (well, except through mate selection and epigenetics and DNA repair mechanisms and such) but simply going from land to water over evolutionary timescales doesn't disprove either teleology or heritable acquired traits.

      Oh did I get a truth tag? lol Modern climate change is human driven, but humans weren’t around until about 200,000 years ago. All the changes before then were natural. When it got hotter, it was usually volcanic activity letting out CO2. When it got colder, it was usually some shift in photosynthesis. Climate change is all about co-existing feedback loops. The net change depends on which loops are more effective.

    I dispute that it was just simply natural selection that caused the change. knowing what I know, Natural selection weeds out the unfit, it does not generate structures. Mutation, as far as we know, generates changes is RANDOM and is successful only in the midst of natural selection. This randomness does not explain the cetacean's auditory improvements as in able to echolocate with middle ears that are air filled and originally designed for life on land.

    • @jovianlitany
      @jovianlitany Год назад

      @@Dr.IanPlect That is a great point when viewed top down, but it fails when applied bottom up. These proto - Cetaceans are mammals that were influenced first by, as you say, a possible drift mutation that was successful to allow them to hear auditory stimuli. This mutation was only successful with a given air pressure, Propagation properties of a mostly nitrogen atmosphere, AND mass and stiffness of body structures of a small mammal. They then move from the land to the sea with inner ears designed for mainly land based rudimentary sound awareness for self preservation. Another "drift" mutation happens and a fat pad grows across their skulls with properties explicitly designed to slow the propagation of sound through water into a near exact facsimile of speed and phase difference between land based ears. The inner ears are still air filled, by the way, and somehow this "drift" mutation knows that no modification is needed for the ossicles and basilar membranes except for amplification of frequencies that are most easily propagated through water and not air Very high frequencies and very low frequencies. This mutation did not drift randomly into best propagation properties of sound through ammonia, or ethyl alcohol or even petroleum. So either this drift mutation has predictive properties or else knows the mass and stiffness of water and strength of the bonds between water molecules. Another drift mutation occurs and the visual system of the proto-cetacean is cannibalized so that the auditory system has abilities of localization and phase detection to a higher level than any other sea creature, propelling it to the seas most successful predators. Again, this is not explainable by natural selection, and arguably the drift you speak of is a catch basin for all this icky, superintelligent design stuff that I can tell you pretend is not there.

      Let's ASSUME for a second that somehow whales do breath underwater, it still doesn't make this fact fake, there's clear and irrefutable evolution that obviously points to the fact that whales evolved from mammals. As a side, whales do not breath underwater, they have adapted to staying inside water for astronomically long periods of time before needing to reach to the surface to catch air, since they still have lungs.

      Ironically, their inability to breath underwater is precisely what naturally kills most elderly whales, their bodies become more fragile and harder to move, at some point they will simply become unable to ever reach the surface again, if they hadn't died because of being hunted or a disease, they'll die asphyxiated and slowly descent to the bottom of the ocean.
