You can put a sponge in a blender to separate it into individual cells. After a while a sponge reforms. This works even if you mix the cells from two different species of sponge. They sort themselves into two different sponges.
Also that little island in the middle of Mono Lake is a volcano that only formed about 350 years ago. Known also for its Tufa structures, the lake is quite beautiful and still looks very blue despite its salinity. A lot of thermal activity so it isn't a surprise goofy life forms would form here. Cool!
@@brothermine2292No. Evolution deals with what happened after that. But life is by definition something that can replicate itself, so no matter how improbable, once it happens, it just keeps going.
@@vidal9747 : Depending on the details of the origin of the simplest life and the behavior of the precursors of life, it might make sense to broaden the definition of "evolution." In particular, the precursors might have included molecules that replicated other molecules they encountered but didn't replicate themselves.

We visited Mono Lake many times as a grew up. Back then there were brine shrimp and all sorts of flying incests. But it was the tufa towers and the ever-changing color of the lake that I truly remember. It just never occurred to me that it might be a site for extremophiles. Great discovery!
Mono Lake is stunning too. It’s beautiful there. Plus, the best chicken strips and fries are sold in the little town next to the lake, Lee Vining. It’s called Mono Cone. Deep fried deliciousness
it's crazy how embryos literally go through every stage of evolution before getting where they need to get. edit: it looks like the cell in one phase suck up everything, group up to form a chamber, sort the food into the chamber and the bad stuff outside, then release digestion enzymes and eat the good stuff.
Not quite "literally" but science did believe for awhile that embryos necessarily replay their evolutionary history as they develop, it was called Recapitulation theory. There are some good docs about it on youtube, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Antarctic expedition that sought to collect penguin fetuses as evidence and only returned after the theory had been considered debunked.
that's jumping the gun by a lot, because embryo's are mostly controlled by autonomic genetic differentiation, they are "programmed" to change and grow rapidly.
The fact that the colony so closely resembles a newly dividing egg (blastula) falls directly in line with the fact that animal embryos resemble the morphology (body shapes and functions) of each of the major ancestors from which it is evolved. For example, a human embryo has a tail. Whale embryos have limb buds and even the adults have vestigial pelvic bones. Each stage of embryonic development is a mirror to how that creature evolved in the first place.
"The theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or embryological parallelism-often expressed using Ernst Haeckel's phrase "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"-is an historical hypothesis ... the shortcomings of the theory had been recognized by the early 20th century, and it had been relegated to "biological mythology"[1] by the mid-20th century.[2]" Thx, Wikipedia.

This was a very enlightening video, demonstrating how various processes might be happening such as multicellularity, symbiosis, early colonial behaviour and early embryo development. Wow, that really taught me a lot about how some aspects of early life might have developed.

Given what we know about components in human cells and how they are represented by a coming together of micro organisms, the sight of these colony structures is even more mind boggling. What it may tell us about evolution and an organisms response to specialised conditions is very exciting, even how the mechanism of species differentiation takes place in single celled life forms. Wow! Dynamite research area.

I have always found Physics fascinating but Biologists' are unravelling evolution to an extent that explains life in the purest sense, the line that divides chemical complexity from being alive . That is a reality that I never expected to witness and I would never have dared set odds against us never knowing. Genomic research is exploring the universe faster than any cosmologist. Genes are like a camera giving us clear pictures on anything you focus your attention on. From a Viewers point of view Microscopes provide pretty pictures too.

“Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”. That was a phrase we were taught in biology in high school. Seeing the blastocyst form of the colony really drove that home.
So the fertilization and growth of a human embryo into a fetus seems to be a reflection of the evolutionary process that got us here, starting with Choanoflagellates, moving to Blastoderm
Thanks Anton! Interesting that this critter is almost the same shape as squid, particularly short armed heavily webbed squid like the vampire squid. It would be interesting to do a morphology study of single and multi celled critters in similar environments at the two scales. I guess osmotic pressure would affect larger creatures more and so that's why we're still collections of the same size cells.
We've been over this with mold colonies. Identical cells sharing the same exact DNA linked together is not cell specialization. Having symbiotic cells using cellular communication but having different DNA is not cell specialization. It's a superficial comparison. Superficial.
Rosie Alegado at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa has done some research in this area. She found a typically free-living choanoflagellate species will form colonies in the presence of high concentrations of their favorite food (bacteria).
Most complexity evolved within single cells as their varied biochemistry took many different pathways and produced polymers like lignin, cellulose and collagen that allow true multicellularity. Snowball Earth put a great stress on life on Earth towards multicellularity for reasons of greater mass to surface area providing lower heat loss rates. Ocean habitation also allowed support of a heavier bulk and protection from UV rays. A new book published by Austin Macauley Publishers titled From Chemistry to Life on Earth outlines abiogenesis in great detail with a solution to the evolution of the genetic code and the ribosome as well as the cell in general using 290 references, 50 illustrations and several information tables with a proposed molecular natural selection formula with a worked example for ATP.
So, it's a mainstream-publisher promoted, non-peer-reviewed hypothesis aimed at the general public instead of the relevant scientists? Thanks, I'll pass and save my money. That's the same way the creationists work.

@@ProfessorJayTee Thanks mate, don't hold back, let me have it. Whatever you do, don't read the book. It is only for those who know some chemistry and physics and wish to read a thorough scenario of life's origin and evolution. Not for dickheads like you.
@@ZionswasdIf you read the fbi declassified paperwork from the 1920-40s on extraterrestrial life, they speak of inter dimensional beings. They exist in the same space as us, but are supposedly on a higher plane of existence. Therefore, we can’t interact with them, but they can interact with us. It could be all bs, but it’s from the declassified ufo stuff from 2018 from what I can remember.
We knew about organisms that are both multi cellular and mono cellular, also that are both animals and plants. You learn about them in the elementary school. Or at least that was the case 40 years ago when I was in school. Modern lab research showed that single cell organisms learn to become multicellular in just few generations.
Recapitulation theory, ie, ontogeny recreates phylogeny (Ernst Haeckel's phrase). Fertilised egg divides into 2,4,8 and 16 identical cells, then the cells start to differentiate. First step: cells. Second: individual cells join together for mutual defense or feeding. (An interesting parallel might be early hunter/gatherer families joining together.)
So, a cluster of cells from a toxic lake forms a blastula....?! This is like 1950s pulp magazine sci-fi where some slimy mutant crawls out of a toxic pit. Love it. Or like Radioactive Man! Up and atom!
All of Earth's hydrogen is in compounds such as water. Any elemental hydrogen is so light it rises and escapes into space by a process called "Jeans escape."

More lake stuff!! We got that lake underneath the Antarctic ice shelf and we just recently found this lake that is in the lake Michigan 😮 yeah I know a lake.. in a lake but it is super deep and the water chemistry changes.. unlike a deep salt lake. they just found it like, a month ago.. and it's super interesting no idea what's going on down there but there's got to be something to it. the Michigan basin is very interesting how the state of Michigan was formed over time but this is a prehistoric lake in the depts of lake MI, Please Cover the life forms if they have found any! They just recently did a geological survey.
Just looking at it, it's almost self explanatory, the inner environment formed by all the cells clumping together create an inner sealed off volume whereby the environment can be controlled, to change the "cytoplasmic environment" to better suit the cells needs....

Six years of studying medicine at Monash University [but didn't pass, most likely], a science degree in cell biology and pharmacology at Monash [what level degree is that? odd you don't say,] as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Criminology at Melbourne University...[likely his highest qualification, which is why they said what it is!]"
AND he's self-promoting his book here in comments on a very good HARD science page. So give this book a HARD PASS.
P.S. GO SPAM ELSEWHERE. Don't fuck with Anton. Thanks.
@@ProfessorJayTee Thanks mate, don't hold back, let me have it. Whatever you do, don't read the book. It is only for those who know some chemistry and physics and wish to read a thorough scenario of life's origin and evolution. Not for dickheads like you.
Anton, you definitely make a space cadet out of me. Allwise lost in space. You are remarkable.
Hello wonderful people 😊👋
That's amazing stuff! Thanks Anton!!
Cool! Other life is in the astral realm btw 👍👍
Okay man
@@ZionswasdIf you read the fbi declassified paperwork from the 1920-40s on extraterrestrial life, they speak of inter dimensional beings. They exist in the same space as us, but are supposedly on a higher plane of existence. Therefore, we can’t interact with them, but they can interact with us. It could be all bs, but it’s from the declassified ufo stuff from 2018 from what I can remember.
We knew about organisms that are both multi cellular and mono cellular, also that are both animals and plants. You learn about them in the elementary school. Or at least that was the case 40 years ago when I was in school. Modern lab research showed that single cell organisms learn to become multicellular in just few generations.
My comment has no value to the reader.
You said more than most
it has value to me! it exists!
You're very self aware
It was amusing, and that has value to me, the reader. So thanks :)
Haven't evolved yet, brain is still a sponge 🎉
Recapitulation theory, ie, ontogeny recreates phylogeny (Ernst Haeckel's phrase). Fertilised egg divides into 2,4,8 and 16 identical cells, then the cells start to differentiate. First step: cells. Second: individual cells join together for mutual defense or feeding. (An interesting parallel might be early hunter/gatherer families joining together.)
Christian fundamentalists will still talk about the 'missing link' no matter how many 'missing' links you find.
Maddening huh? They pass laws
Don't vote for anti-scientists! They've taken over the GOP.
I'm an atheist. Thank God.
Science respecters will blindly believe words they cannot understand as proof that they're arrogance against their creator is justified
Tell me about it. So, I made a deal with myself... instead of trying to teach cultists I rather watch this channel and learn.
No wonder why so many people are TOXIC, we literally evolved from Toxicity 🤣
So, a cluster of cells from a toxic lake forms a blastula....?! This is like 1950s pulp magazine sci-fi where some slimy mutant crawls out of a toxic pit. Love it. Or like Radioactive Man! Up and atom!
What if earth had twice as much Hydrogen would it open more possibilities for life such fire under water
All of Earth's hydrogen is in compounds such as water. Any elemental hydrogen is so light it rises and escapes into space by a process called "Jeans escape."
Been to mono lake 3 times, pretty strange and bizarre landscape

Creatures farming aphrodisiac bacteria to make more shelter for themselves sounds like the mating process from 'Fantastic Planet' or, maybe, a misunderstanding of this video :3
Wonderful bacteria and wonderful monoflagellate colonies...
Wow. Thanks again Anton!
That is so fascinating
Always a good day when Anton posts.
Aside from the amazing biological doscoveries the rest of the area near mono lake is super beautiful, if you get the chance to visit the eastern sierra nevada mountains jump on it!
More lake stuff!! We got that lake underneath the Antarctic ice shelf and we just recently found this lake that is in the lake Michigan 😮 yeah I know a lake.. in a lake but it is super deep and the water chemistry changes.. unlike a deep salt lake. they just found it like, a month ago.. and it's super interesting no idea what's going on down there but there's got to be something to it. the Michigan basin is very interesting how the state of Michigan was formed over time but this is a prehistoric lake in the depts of lake MI, Please Cover the life forms if they have found any! They just recently did a geological survey.
Evolutionary pressure! That sounds quite creative.
Great news!
I remember those choanoflagellates, back in 1886. Good times.
Just looking at it, it's almost self explanatory, the inner environment formed by all the cells clumping together create an inner sealed off volume whereby the environment can be controlled, to change the "cytoplasmic environment" to better suit the cells needs....
