- What is so great about monophyletic groups? Why are phylogenies so important? Because they teach you things about organisms that you didn't know before! That is why phylogenetics is so important, and why monophyly is king!

Interpreting phylogenetic trees: • Clint Explains Phyloge...
I informed you thusly!
Hey!! I know you!
I teach comparative anatomy, and after watching your vid, I’ve had a greater appreciation for the predictive power of cladistics.
Never stop saying “and now you know” it wraps up the videos very nicely. Thank you for he video.
I have no plans to stop! 😊
“And that’s Mike’s super short show!” I love it too because it make me finish that echo:):):)👽
"And knowing is half the battle.."
I'm here because Clint actually plugged this from the community post on Clint's reptiles. I wish he made this second channel more well known because then it will explode in popularity!
Agreed I only stumbled across by pure accident
Same! (Three years later😮)
Because this is something i have been trying to prove to people since high school biology this reminded me of an idea for a series i had then. Why biology class is wrong. From how everything is oversimplified to the point of being wrong to the incorrect definition of species they teach to just taxonomy in general. It seems that someone way more qualified is doing the series for me. Thank you.
Where was this video when I got in an argument with my high school biology teacher because I kept insisting that birds were actually reptiles? It didn’t make sense to me that birds were dinosaurs and dinosaurs were reptiles, but at the same time birds were supposed to be a completely separate thing that had nothing to do with reptiles.
Very good to know that I’ve instinctively been on the right track all along!
I didn't know this channel existed! This is great!!!
This is a very great explanation even to more layman types among us. I've not studied anything on Phylogenetic trees in a long while but this makes sense to me. Now I know even better why you've taught at Universities and give classes for people. Very cool, in fact stinking rad!
This is one of your best videos, period. Thank you so much for making it (and all your other videos I binge regularly)!
I really like how you break diwn complex subject into simple and easy to grasp example! Also I dont know if its on purpouse or unconsiously done, but you speak slowly (compared to your main chanel and your livestreams for exemple) and it makes it easier to understand! Even for people who first laguage is not english like me!
Keep doing this amazing job on this chanel!!
Clint, you have very quickly become one of my favorite RUclips educators. Thank you for all your excellent videos.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I can now show this to everyone who thinks i am crazy. And everyone who is interested in this stuff i just could not properly explain it to.
Please do!
people will say “no bird arent reptiles or dinosaurs!” but just look at the shoebill stork and cassowary!
Or the road runner.
I introduce your videos to my little brother and he and my mom were watching them and she told me that you remind her of a scientific Mr. Rogers and that you’re 1 million times more pleasant to watch and seemingly more personable than Bill Nye.
The leopard box is a box I'd like to visit.
It's a pretty sweet box
These videos are excellent! Thank you for putting these together!
I love Clint's Reptiles but I think this is even better. You are an excellent teacher. I am enjoying the varied topics as well. I can watch videos one after another while activating different groups of information in my brain and long term memory.
Thank you Clint i thank you this helped me understand a little more than on this topic that i have been struggling with i subscribed and hit bell
Wow!! This is amazing! I completely understand this and I love the way you explain things!
You remind me of the teacher in stranger things! You speak with so much passion and joy!
I consider myself very well educated about biology as someone studying neuroscience and pharmacology, but this specific aspect of biology has always been kind of lost on me. Delighted to know a little bit more about this
Best explanation ever
You would think clints head would be huge with all that brain power.
Youre a great teacher. I would love to know your take on the systemic spread of mRNA and how long it will code for protein when introduced into the body.
I wish my bio teacher was like this
I have a question: while monophyly is best for predicting thing and understanding the evolutionary lineage, isn’t there still quite a lot of descriptive utility in paraphylytic groups?
If Clade A developed a unique trait or completely lost a trait over the course of its evolutionary history, and Clade A is nested within Clade B, couldn’t it be descriptively useful to refer to the group of “Clade B minus Clade A?” For example, “Diapsids *except for the dinosaurs*”.
It seems to me that these groups still serve an immense descriptive purpose, so long as there’s a contextually meaningful trait that distinguishes the smaller clade from the larger clade it sits within.
Please can you do a video on cladograms?
Are you accepting apprenticeship applications?
Question though, for anyone still here or visiting from the community post. How do you discern how a brand new organism even fits into a phylogeny in the first place? If I were to look at a bird without knowing what I do, I'm not sure that I would place it in the same location on a phylogeny that it now rests in today. I don't doubt these conclusions, but I would like to know more about the methods that are used to draw them.
Morphology and better genetic analysis can give you a very good idea where they belong. I'll try to make videos on that subject soon.
@@clintexplains5327 That would be lovely! Thank you for the response.
My biology professors would love you!
Let them know!
Clint, thank you for a fantastic video. You're an excellent teacher.
I'm simply too stupid to ever understand this stuff, but I'm still trying😞
How do we know which monophyletic group a novel species belongs to? Genetic sequencing?
That's a very good way.
I still think paraphyletic groups sometime in more useful in classification when one group inside a monophyletic group already evolve in a way that is can be no longer fit in the broad definition of that kind of animal anymore (as when we go up in clades all land vertabrates are a kind of lobe finned fishes, indeed it is useful in evolutionary history but it start to make the simple question of how we can tell what kinds of of animal are there according to simple characteristic a bit confusing, their basic function already become different). Though I agree that polyphyletic groups are not useful.
I personally love that birds are reptiles, so that I don't have to pick which one is my favorite!
🤔 You may find the Phylogeny Project on Aron Ra’s channel of great interest. Be prepared to have your mind expanded exponentially!
What is the cat at the bottom
A clouded leopard
Cool
They all come from big cats. They are a kind. Cats will always produce cats.every time. You can draw lines to animals all you want.
clueless ignoramus
@@Dr.IanPlect Why do you atheist, get so angry when someone disagrees with you, because this is your religion
@@shambo8171 Commenting on ignorance isn't getting angry. Muted.
@@Dr.IanPlect sure sounded like you got angry, How do you know that There's not a God, you are ignorant, of a lot of things as well. You dont know everything.
Snow leopards shold be coled ice tygers weyght that sounds realy cool
What puzzles me is how reptiles hands are reversed (Why Clint?)
So they can descend objects without slipping and falling.
Lol when I 1st read the title I thought it said MONOPOLY 🤣
❤❤❤
İm new hear
So are mammals, fish and amfibians monophyletic groups?
Fish is paraphyletic, since includes mammals and amphibians. in fact, humans are more closely related to tuna than tuna are to sharks.
You kinda look like Alan Watts with your hair rn!
Bestie u forgot leopard seals in your polyphyletic leopard group!
Great addition!
I think it looked like you died inside a little when you went over the bird one again.
If Jesse Pinkman payed attention in Biology class instead of selling meth
look at client trying to be a silver fox with that gray in his beard 🧔 lol 😂 get it George Clooney lmao 😂
I don't know why, but i keep getting triggered by the way he says *JAGUR* . i am used to saying JA-G-UAR instead of JA-GOO-IRE. (no beef)
When you forget hes a biologist
And that's why Human Child is the best pet reptile.
TIL: post-anal tail
Is a chicken a T-Rex. People r delusional
You're delusional if you think so.
No.
How do you fit man made viruses and living organisms into phylogeny of life
Domesticated animals are considered different subspecies of the original wild animal. Dogs are a subspecies of wolf for an example. We also can't really just make a virus in a lab from scratch, we can genetically alter a virus that currently exists but we would just consider that virus the same virus as before, just a strain that we created. If we could theoretically make entirely new organism it might be classified in a different tree than all other living things.
Hey guess what ppl chickens are trex. BOOM
Which monophyletic group does Wuhan lab fit in again? 😂😂 Kidding
I Didn't get the joke
