Blood is one of the most revolutionary features in our evolutionary history. Over hundreds of millions of years, the way in which blood does its job has changed over and over again. As a result, we animals have our familiar red blood. But also blue blood. And purple, and green, and even white.

Our friends over at Bizarre Beasts made a spectacular video about the clear blood of the crocodile icefish. It also happens to be hosted by a familiar face...ruclips.net/video/DtufV5JZLW4/видео.html

I hated evolution, kept denying it. Watched this channel and then started to think its true. Then you get to the point right here whwre they say "we know it happened but there's no evidence, oh and somehow of course the first organism somehow "evolved" and survived it's initial selection and both genders somehow found each other, or one organism somehow could produce. Even worse go back all the way to the first organism. It comes alive. Then dies. Because it didn't reproduce and because it didn't have the genetic code to reproduce, it couldn't have survived and it died.
@@davidt8087 The first organisms didn't have genders. They were single-celled and probably reproduced by fission (splitting into multiple parts), like bacteria do today.

How the hell did butterflies evolve to melt themselves and reform into a completely different shape?
Ppl find it normal but seriously, that is such a mind blowing change! Lol it always amazed me
pretty sure there was a video about it first find the correct term for it via google then put that term n youtube
@Agent J Maybe I just want Eons' presentation and commentary on the subject because they're entertaining? But I wouldn't expect someone with a rick and morty profile pic to realize watching disjunct youtube videos doesn't count as education.
This is a good question.
Metamorphosis is a trait found in a far wider array of insects than just butterflies! Beetles, wasps flies, lepidoptera(moths but note that butterflies are actually a diurnally specialized lineage of moths) From what I have read they really didn't appear on the scene until after the Great dying opened up the opportunity to diversify. I really wonder what they were like before diversifying? The older orders of insects all have incomplete-metamorphosis with both nymphs and adult forms (examples being Dragonflies, Antlions, True Bugs such as Aphids Roaches/Mantids(including Termites) etc. which is more like shedding a different skin)

What blows my mind is that for around 90% of Earth's existence we only had simple life. Larger complex life didn't arise until much more recently.
Jonathan Root i would argue larger more complex life is yet to come

“They all have bilateral symmetry”
Flatfish: “Am I a joke to you?”
NO YOU ARE FOOD TO ME
Correct me if I am wrong, but don't they start out vertical and over time flatten out? www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2016/08/flatfish-animals-science-colors-flounders/ Check out this article that mentions that.
IKR?
They aren’t mirror images, but that’s not the point: they have a clear front and back, and a clear top and bottom. Bilateral symmetry is oddly not about where things are the same, but about how many directions are unique. A sponge is a rather formless blob that can make do with almost any shape. A Jellyfish has more order to it, but still is more or less just a ring. A Flatfish, on the other hand, has distinct parts that aren’t just “bumps”: it has a head where the eyes, brain, and mouth are located. It has a tail/aft section. It has a spine running along its body, from the head to the tail, also giving a direction.
The flatfish basically lays on it's side and decided that not looking at the ground all the time was a good idea.

*insert THANK YOU gif*
@@pullupullupullup4687 well...
I don't know... Maybe you could go and search it on Wikipedia or somewhere more reliable than a simple RUclips video.
@@pullupullupullup4687 You're wrong. Blood is a tissue composed mainly by plasma, red and white blood cells, platelets and dissolved gases, nutrients and enzimes. There are no microorganisms. Cells have organelles, not "organs", and of those, the only one with a symbiotic origin is the mitochondria, the other organelles are just, generally speaking, internal extensions of the cell membrane or protein-based structures (like microtubules). Blood cells work pretty much like any other cell in your body (of course, with specializations for the roles they fulfill). There are no microorganisms interacting in your blood (unless you have an infection of some kind).
@@pullupullupullup4687 Also, they said all that they could about the evolution of blood. Like Hank said in the video, less complex animals just move gasses, nutrients and metabolic waste by diffusion through their body walls and internal fluids. All we can say without a doubt about the evolution of blood is that, at some point, animals developed proteins in ther internal fluids that allowed them to transport gases and nutrients more effectively, and thus they could get more and more complex. Not much more than that. You have to undestand that studying the evolution of soft tissues is already hard enough in the fossil record, studying a liquid tissue is even harder, even with tools such as the molecular clock. They even showed in the video when the different blood proteins probably appeared.
How many is enough?
As a dungeon master for d&d, I need to make a solid mental note about this. Lizards and lizardfolk can have green blood, arthropods can have blue blood, worms can have purple blood (awesome) and arctic beasts can bleed a clearish, white blood.
I might stick with describing arctic beasts having red blood because I'd like to avoid unnecessary semen jokes and the mental image of red blood on white snow is always very evocative.
You can make it yellow or maybe orange like fire a contrast to their environments
@@akulsinator7680 yeah but that makes me think of injured/dead bugs
Could be a large difference in shade or saturation if you wanted to use blue blood again for the arctic creatures that don’t fall under other category

These PBS channels, for one reason or another, seem to deliberately obfuscate the topics, focusing on jargon terms instead of what they actually represent.
@Everett01 It’s a science channel, they’re meant to communicate to other scientists who find the information useful, so it really should not be something to criticize for.
No, scientists communicate with other scientists through academic journals.
This is a wonderful level of explanation for late high school and early BSc level EEE biology

If life had to adapt to a snowball Earth at least twice, that would explain why copper was adopted early on to fix oxygen in their blood. As copper works better in cold temperatures. So it makes sense that life coming out of this snowball Earth used copper as they diversified into the Ediacaran period life forms.
I never thought of it that way.
Cool hypothesis
Also copper being a softer metal than iron may have eroded from the land into the oceans faster when complex life was evolving

You made a little mistake.
seastars belongs like all members of the Echinodermata to the group Bilateria. It's may misleading that adult seastars don't show a bilaterally symmetrical body but the embryos of Echinodermata are bilaterally symmetrical at the beginning.
Anyway
Thank you guys for this amazing video. Eons is one of the best RUclips channels ever! PLEASE DON'T STOP
well i think if you divide a seas star in half through the top leg then it’s bilaterally symmetrical
@@creppruby key point of bilateral symmetry is that you only have one axis that divides the animal im two symmetrical parts. Since you could use every leg of a seastar as a beginning point the adult seastar is radial symmetric.

I’m home now and going through my emails. It’s so weird for me, this video was being shown, whilst I was in the process of having a full blood transfusion to save my life, then I needed another few units a month later. Three months in hospital was long enough. When I was younger I used to give blood until my body became too medicated.
To all the people that donated the blood that saved my life, Thank You. If you are young and healthy enough to donate please do so.

"Blood can be green..."
*Spock wants to know your location*
He is green (blooded) with envy?
2:54 Despite their adult appearance, sea stars are phylogenetically bilateral animals (Eumetazoa, Bilateria, Nephrozoa (≈Coelomata), Deuterstoma, Echinodermata, Asterozoa, Asteroidea). Their blood is degenerate compared to other bilaterians, but they do indeed have an internal body cavity and an active circulatory system, unlike sponges, jellies, and ctenophores.
I'm glad somebody mentioned this! People deserve to know about the glorious weirdness of starfish - starting out as bilaterally-symmetric larvae and then flopping on their sides as adults to completely restructure their bodily symmetry
thank you! I was confused when he said all the descendants of that hypothetical bloody common ancestor have bilateral symmetry, and then pointed to sea stars as an example of non-bilateral symmetry :P. They should really have made this more clear in the video.
Especially seeing as Starfish are some of our closest invertebrate relatives
Glad I came to read the comments
Imagine if they lived on land
The evolution of venom and poison....
That is very unique, as most examples evolved it individually and convergently. Almost always from some other protein they used or excreted, or sometimes sequestered from their food, and each example has a unique pathway.
It should be: The evolution of Venom...
Many kinds of venoms double as digestive fluids, so most probably evolved from that. Poison is even easier, some species or populations being less edible to predators is already an advantage without it being outright poison, with your predators providing an evolutionary pressure, your evolution is driven in a direction where the bodies of each generation are more and more toxic, to the point where it is not just a happy coincidence that your body fluids are poisonous to someone else, you outright produce poison that no longer has any other function.

Really, deliciousness is just a bizarre inversion that happens when someone thinks your species is SO delicious that they want to make sure there will always be enough of you around that they have something delicious.

Evolution of plants would be nice
There's more than one chemical you can use to photosynthesise; in other words, like hemoglobin, there are compounds that work like chlorophyll. (I forgot the name of it but it's purple/violet; that's all I know.)
Evolution is not real
Too broad of a topic I think...
They already covered tress in the carboniferous video.
A quick one on flowering plants would be cool, but it's kind of a basic subject.
Maybe they could focus instead on under-water plants in particular? Or maybe algae in its many forms?
@@nab.7250 the internet is not real. you're a figment of my imagination.
@@ganaraminukshuk0 Yes there are quite a few different methods of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is unique in that it is aerobic uses oxygen or more specifically breaks down water and CO2 releasing oxygen as a byproduct which has a higher chemical potential than other molecules do allowing more energy per molecule but other forms of photosynthesis evolved billions of years earlier.
The most familiar of these is the purple microbes that utilize sulfur instead H2S-> SO4 etc. (though there are different types) but who knows how many types of photosynthesis occurred before the atmosphere was oxygenated effectively killing off most microbes....
I remember reading a paper about some type of Iron based photosynthesis which is quite different in that its basically impossible on modern Earth unless you have an extremely anaerobic environment....
Having only recently stumbled onto PBSeons, now I'm perusing previous episodes. This episode is very well done, especially considering the complexity of the subject. Lots of biochemistry to consider - and the remarkable feat of elucidating it!

YES! I was one of the ones who commented asking for this video, and specifically the differences between the different blood proteins! I'm trying to write an advanced alien race with blue or green blood, and I wanted to know how to make it scientifically viable. Since hemocyanin is better in lower temperatures, I may have to scooch their planet back a smidge.
You could also still use hemoglobin, but say that other proteins, compounds and/or minerals in the blood contribute to a different colour.
In addition, arthropods here on Earth, have hemolymph and don't distinguish between a circulatory system and a lymphatic system.
You could also say that these aliens use a completely different metabolic system which doesn't use oxygen, in that case the transport proteins for gas exchange could be wildly different.
Just some things to think about, if you didn't already. Good luck on the world building.
Shrimp Bisque same here wanted to make aliens but there was one detail not right and that was how they transported nutrients and oxygen and how that evolved yet this video helped a lot on that
Have you read the "Giants" Trilogy by James Hogan. The aliens in this series had an interesting blood physiology. I won't give any other spoilers, in case you want to discover these stories for yourself.
There's no reason why an alien species would have a protein in their cells, which utilize the same 20 amino acids as us, and that has the same fold and general structure of hemocyanin. You should probably just make up an entirely different sort of molecule, but have it use the same principles, like having a copper atom that does the actual binding to oxygen, because the basic rules of chemistry should still apply
Oooh where are you writing it? I’d love to give it a read

How honey, fruits, and other sweet products became such an important energy source for many organisms.
My favorite: What influenced animals (Tiktaalik) to leave the protection of the water, and then some mammals (whales) to return to an aquatic environment.
This is an awesome series! Thank you very much PBS Eons; Keep it up!
Eons and Space-Time are the best things on RUclips. Thanks PBS.
Thanks Hank for this deep dive into the least apparent type of connective tissue.
2:56 Sea stars are a bad example here. They evolved from bilaterally symmetric animal and are bilateral in their larval stage
You guys should do a video on the unique fossils from the Burgess Shale. I remember seeing some of them in a zoology class back in high school and they fascinated me because they were just so crazy looking.
That was very informative! Thank you for making this! Can you make a similar video for the evolution of thee immune system?
Blood Vessels? You mean *FORBIDDEN TWIZZLERS*???
This is very ominous in a way I can't quite describe
A Bird Lover chewy :)
Better not be hard and sharp
Vessels are boats or containers, so how did a blood passage be come to known as a blood vessel?
We could have named that blood rivers, and then named them bloody thames, bloody trent, bloody nile etc.
@@samuelsmith2707The Nile ain't just a River in Egypt. Also; Blood Canals. Blood Tunnels. Blunnels.
PBS Eons can really give you a video on evolutionary history of... Everything
blood, armored fish, cephalopods, winged insects, what's next...crustaceans? Cuz that would be awesome
Thank you! I hope you make more videos of this kind. When I was a student, I did not like to study proteins... until I learned about the evolution of proteins. From that moment I found it interesting. I hope you do more like this.
Really cool video, I haven’t really thought of blood evolving before but it was really cool how the process happened over time
Make an episode about bears evolution
I migrated here from the "Crash Course" - have never seen Hank more serious. wow.
Thank you for your explanatory video. Fascinating. Great Paleobiology lesson
this is my favorite channel & this was such a cool video! i never knew about purple or white blood!
They finally did it!!
If ever, you ask yourself the question: Am I spending too much time on the net?
Remember that you watched this, to completion.
Is there such a thing as too much time on the net? This was bloody interesting.
It's only 10 min long and super interesting. What are you on about.?
Your existence is useless, I do believe
This is a fascinating summary of a ton of science and history. Brilliant!
This was the best episode yet
This is so flipping cool!!! Thank you Eons for making this video! I lost my mind with the hemocyanin bit, and had to pause the video to tell everyone in my family about it! Thank you again for this amazing video!
How about claws in insects and diferentes adaptations like that
@4one14 Just remember, if they show macro-images of said mouth parts, that you asked for it! hehe
@@BertGrink ulgh. Reminded me of (female) horse fly mouths.
Stab stab
Dare I look it up?
@4one14 Those are chewers. There are several different types of mouth in insects, because insects are like tiny Medabots and you can build something totally rad like a dog sized dragonfly using the right conditions. Some other examples of types of mouths are sucker (butterflies, aphids), licker (house flies, bees) and sucker/pincher (mosquitoes).
As a PSA in a biology channel: saying scorpions are insects is arguably the same as saying birds are mammals. Scorpions are in a different group with spiders and ticks.
@@TicoHyuuga apparently crabs are insects too
Whole first bit of the video I was like, “wow, that sounds exactly like hank green thats so weird”…… it was in fact hank green lol
Love this guy could listen to him all day👍
This has probably been requested more than anything else on the channel and for as long as I can remember this channel being a thing. So glad you finally made the video😁👍
Also, on a complete sidenote: I've been wondering lately, if on say an alien planet animals there evolved eyes with a type of photoreceptor cell that did the job of both rods and cones in one, would they see colour clearly in the dark? Would their view of the world at night be just like the day, just like our night or would they perhaps see in slightly muted colours during night time(because of less light reacting with the photoreceptor cells etc.)? Would nocturnal eyes be much or any different from non-nocturnal eyes? Would their sleep cycles be dictated by night and day and the rotation of their planet? Would day and night time really exist for them in a prominent way?
I haven't really been able to come up with a conclusive answer but am leaning towards the muted colours one, but I'm completely prepared to be wrong. Any thoughts?(and thanks for taking the time to read this btw)
Extra sidenote: I think videos on the evolution of crocodilomorphs like kaprosuchus would be interesting or something about bat evolution.😁
Can it actually be combined? I don't know anything about this subject, but I imagine there could be mutually exclusive physical parameters that don't let a cell be both a rod and a cone?
Ok, yea right. But so, then when did Draculas evolve??
Somewhere between the 15th and 20th Centuries AD.
ok. well. Hail Dracula!
Tales of vampires themselves go back to Mesopotamia. An early Dracula like vampire was developed in 1819. Dracula evolved in 1897, and then later evolved starting modern versions in 1921
You mean Leeches, Mosquitos Or Vampire bats?!! Or did you mean blood sucking loan sharks aka credit card companies?!!
With movies duh lol
This video has actually helped me get over my fear of blood, thank you! Knowledge is always the key to overcome your fear
