I love these videos. The list in the top left, with the current topic outlined is so wonderfully structured and easy to follow. I love it. Perfect for my autistic brain to follow.
1: Fishy fishy fish. It is the most elusive fish. 2: Where is this fishy fishy fish? 1: It is upon the land with its fisty fishy fins. 2: Truly it is the most elusive fish!
From what I understand for several articles on Asteriornis is that they used two different methods of assessing its taxonomic place. One placed it as an early member of Galloanserae and the other in a sister group to Galloanserae.
Looks like Star Trek Viyager’s episode Threshold was right, only in reverse. As the pre-Tetrapod looks a lot like what they said we’d evolve INTO, but it should have been FROM...
I'm not even familiar with it, and I think I'm glad about that. Sounds like the kind of song that woul really get stuck in someone's head for days! Lol.
Dood you are so good at using your body to attract people's attention, to stay focused on your subject and learn fully. The perfect amount of movement and facial posture to keep us intrigued, yet not so distracting that they forget to listen. Very good. :D
And then there's the Australian Spotted Handfish, and yes, you read that correctly. HANDfish. Unfortunately they're endangered, but they're basically fishies with handlike fins that are alive NOW. Not just fossils (yet). They're a transitional form, and actually here and now, real. :D EDIT: About the tetrapod bone structure evolving while the creatures were still in water, and what advantage this might have given them: Yeah in that one documentary about Australia from "Nova", we see the handfish using its handfins to push aside reeds and get into a hiding place the bigger fish can't reach...AND outright just _grabbing_ a smaller thing to eat it. (Clumsily, since it has to grab with basically a floppy mitten. But it works.) So...why would a water-dwelling fish want tetrapod bones? THAT'S why!
Good traits to have to try surviving an apocalypse you say? Okay, I will try to achieve small body size while maintaining a diverse diet. These birds are chocolate, right?
A quick google search tells me that early bird wasn't found in Belgium but in the Netherlands, near the city of Maastricht, hence the name Asteriornis Maastrichtensis. It was apparently found in the same general area that first yielded another famous cretacious critter, the Mosasaur, back in the late 18th century.
Which makes it even closer to the impact zone and the incoming Mega Tsunami perhaps explaining why no birds managed to survive into the Paleogene the Northern Hemisphere....
Odd, that a fossile, found a very long time ago, in a small town called « Nouvelle », which mean « new » or « NEWS », be talked about only recently in an article... news travels slowly out of that town with such a name.
I was with my dad when he discovered the first starfish in the Devonian period. Making it the oldest known starfish by millions of years. He cared more about rocks than his kids :(
Oops Ackchyually that is wrong... the Asteriornis maastrichtensis is found as its name suggests in the city of Maastricht in the limestone hill called the Sint Pietersberg (saint petemountain) in the Netherlands. It is the capitol of the province Limburg and there is also a province called Limburg in Belgium, neighbouring countries and even neighbouring provinces. Understandable mistake. Stay safe and healthy
@@ProfezorSnayp But these are major transitional gaps between humans and proto-humans, dolphins and their near flying predecessors, these fish that made it to land to create tetrapods, etc.. See what I mean? Maybe the earth went through such major land upheavals at different times that the evidences are not within our reach?
the adult in me is interested and enjoying the video. the teenager in me is giggling every time you say piss. the anime lover in me -- after hearing the name of the wonder chicken -- is now imagining tennis-playing chickens with super powers.
Regarding calculus you mentioned as a side note at the end... I studied engineering after school, I'm now 50 and have worked as an Engineer since graduating. In 30 years of being an engineer I haven't actually used calculus once. I do use algebra and standards but no calculus at all. No matrix algebra or complex numbers either. I suppose it helps understand how all these formulas you pull from standards came about but in reality, that's about all. As a tool its been utterly useless to me. I kind of feel like I spent an awful lot of time and effort learning an awful lot of stuff at uni that was such an utter waste of time. I'm not saying it's pointless but I kind of feel like I was ripped off. Further education isn't cheap and you'd think that what you paying for may actually be in some way useful and or helpful to life after you get a job related to your chosen field of study. The only way it would be useful would be if you wanted to get a job teaching at school or university. Perhaps some obscure research job or something like that. But really, for the best part, its utterly useless in the real world for the vast majority of engineers and I think that there are an awful lot of thing that would be a better use of ones time that isn't ever taught at university, well not as an Engineer at any rate. With that all said, I don't expect any further education institutions to come back to reality any time soon and will take the lazy route of teaching the same old bumf come hell or high water. So kids, you too will be forced to jump through the burning hoops known as calculus to get that "exciting" engineering degree to get that job after graduating. But rest assured, you won't have to ever use it ever again once you graduate. What a crock .. ....
You folks stay safe please. Not only do I like you all too much to hear bad news about you but your work is getting a lot of us through this home self quarantine with our minds intact.
So, they had attributes that allowed them to survive a revelation, huh!🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭 I know, I know. Even though apocalypse means revelation, you meant the modern connotation.
“A small body size would mean they wouldn’t need much food. And a generalized diet means they wouldn’t be picky eaters. Both good traits to have in an apocalypse.”

I, for one, plan to emerge from this extinction event as a pseudo-sauropod.

Dinosaurus Rex right but with more tail. And hatched from an egg.
Finally my size and eating habits may pay off !

Almost as good as "Trunked Sauropod Movement", which is another odd paleontology thingy

I own wonder chickens. At least that's what I tell them when I gather the eggs. 😄

The fish developed legs because they had a collective vision of the arrival of the Messiah, Muscle Hank.
Actually his name is Darwin and he did it for Gumball
@@theoverseer393 I miss TAWOG...
(Small mistake: Maastricht / st. pietersberg is in the Netherlands, not in Belgium.)
Well, it's named after the Maastricht Formation the also outcrops in Belgium, not after the city...

0:29 The subtitle said "that one group of fish evolved fins from feet," almost thought it was a whale episode
1: Fishy fishy fish. It is the most elusive fish.
2: Where is this fishy fishy fish?
1: It is upon the land with its fisty fishy fins.
2: Truly it is the most elusive fish!

Now I have that: one bone, two bones, many bones, fingers, stuck in my head
I'm not even familiar with it, and I think I'm glad about that. Sounds like the kind of song that woul really get stuck in someone's head for days! Lol.
Why do i get pins and needles when one of my limbs wakes up from being asleep (circulation cut off)?
Sadly your description of the wonder-chicken is a tad inaccurate - Maastricht is in the Netherlands, not Belgium! (Although it's NEAR that border)
That's right, the bones have been found in the St Pietersberg. It's the same hill (I won't call it a mountain) were they found the famous Mosasaurus.
Dood you are so good at using your body to attract people's attention, to stay focused on your subject and learn fully. The perfect amount of movement and facial posture to keep us intrigued, yet not so distracting that they forget to listen. Very good. :D

tetropods, with colors beyond the scope of man! hahah
Fish with hands? Nah, that's just my e-mail pal from Innsmouth. Nice guy, really.
Good traits to have to try surviving an apocalypse you say? Okay, I will try to achieve small body size while maintaining a diverse diet.
These birds are chocolate, right?
I always thought the oldest member of The Birds was Ronnie Wood.
I need more shows. I'm stuck at home.
Is it just me or am I hearing puns every 30 seconds.
I know its a bit fishy
I got to HAND it to Hank, he really made a FISHY video.
Very cool fossil findings. Thanks, SciShow!

Lol. Oh, the irony!
Last time I was this early, "Corona" was a Spanish and Italian word for crown
it still is. That's why the virus is named corona. Because it has a "crown" around it.
Or a crappy Mexican beer
@@adkinsyum I'm Mexican. I have tried Corona beer before. It tastes like carbonated pee. Ew
I love watching these
Can you guys cover the complex and complicated history of the annelids?
Whenever I need a fish fossil right away, I go directly to elpistostegi.
I mean, who doesn't, really?
@@robinchesterfield42 Especially when they are having a sale !
Tasmanian handfish " What's all the big fuss about?"
I was with my dad when he discovered the first starfish in the Devonian period. Making it the oldest known starfish by millions of years.
He cared more about rocks than his kids :(
What was his name? As far as im aware, the ikdest starfish fossil found is 435 million years old or so.
Those are the guys who keep un-baiting my hook!

It's named after the rock formation, not the city...
Ronen Shtein still not in Belgium
What if it really doesn’t complicate things and it just suggests there was a case of convergent evolution?
Not a single fish finger joke. I quit ;)
Totally off topic, but Hank's looking super smoothly shaven today. Special hot towel treatment at the local barbers ???
Barbers in California are forbidden to barber. Shelter _this_ , Gavin Newsom!
It's the dollar shave club!
I have to hand it to you guys this episode was pretty good
#teamtetrapod: stay inside! 🖖😷
This whole video sounds a little fishy to me. Why would birds even be hanging out in foul water?
1:51 Eyo, Elpistostege, lemme getta lookadem digits!
I love your writers😍😍 everything is presented with just the right puns
I dunno, I dont find it all that punny.
9 seconds is the fastest I've ever been to a video
Queto Seriously, are we not doing phrasing anymore?
that thumbnail is gold! so funny
Great video. Love this channel.
Hank: “The late Cretaceous in Belgium.”
Me, an intellectual: “Flanders; Belgium wasn’t a thing back then.”
"Asteriornis maastrichtennis" I believe isn't how you say it, but, Hank, you're sure doing a better job of pronouncing it than me!
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️wonderchicken!!! They suffered like hell through 2 years of blackened hell. Inspiration for pandemic!
I loved her in Harry Potter
so if evolution taught me right..... people that dont eat a lot of pasta and dont need a lot of toiletpaper will survive corona?
Interesting that so many links between so many older species and newer species are missing..
That's an always occuring problem. When you find a missing transitional form between 2 species there will be 2 more gaps you want to fill.
@@ProfezorSnayp But these are major transitional gaps between humans and proto-humans, dolphins and their near flying predecessors, these fish that made it to land to create tetrapods, etc.. See what I mean?
Maybe the earth went through such major land upheavals at different times that the evidences are not within our reach?
as usual, very interesting video. just wondering, who is your shirt provider?
Fun fact: Tiktaalik discovered the Americas first. About 380 million years ago.
Dude, if I had been your sponsor, I would want my $ back. Otherwise great vid!
Looking sharp Hank, nice shirt
I am surprised the first story wasn't on EONS
the adult in me is interested and enjoying the video.
the teenager in me is giggling every time you say piss.
the anime lover in me -- after hearing the name of the wonder chicken -- is now imagining tennis-playing chickens with super powers.
I notice there are 6 metacarpals, but 5 carpal. Could this be why some mammals with digits sometimes have 6 instead of 5?
I wonder, by Hank's criteria, if humans have good traits for the apocalypse?
The first fish ever to have the ability to waank
Good video I love fossils and learning about Human evolution 🙂 we evolved from Homosapiens, monkeys Dolphins and others too
The closed captions at 0:25 are wrong. It says "fins from feet" when it should say 'feet from fins"
My stomach had the rumblelys that only hands could satisfy.
