    I remember the biological building blocks using CHONK: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and potassium

    Hey Professor Dave, how is it that coldwater fish like cod and mackerel, can be constantly active in temperatures that would render a reptile torpid and shortly afterwards dead? If an ectothermic fish can survive near-freezing sea temperatures, why have no ectothermic land animals evolved the same ability?

      Land animals can survive at such a high freezing temperatures.

    I suppose when Professor Dave gets up to homo sapiens in this series, this piece on food acquisition and body temperature will focus on Harris-Teeters and bedspreads. ;-)
    Great work, as usual, good sir! Thanks for yet another enlightening upload.

    actually if i recall correctly we have the same amount of hair as our closest relatives, it's just that they're not as coarse and therefore do not offer insulation or threat display use
    but numerically it's around the same number

    Hey dave. 5 years ago you saved my g12 chem grade. Now having gone through uni, i believe one of the courses your style would work well with is control systems. Do you think you would ever end up doing a course like that?

    Does goosebumps also help close sweat pores, helping heat retention through limiting heat transport through perspiration? I piss more in cold weather, which seems to make sense, given the possible reduced water loss through perspiration. Maybe the urinary tract takes up the extra load?

    You should do short piece on "Vegan Gains" He proposes the apex predators should be 'culled' for the good of the environment. I'm assuming he's not getting enough fatty acid for proper brain function.

      What is your counterargument? I prefer other technological and scientific implimentations that don't involve killing, but it is a problem that should be looked into.

      @@quincywashington9355 Here's a middle school biology lesson for you. When you remove the apex predator from it's territory the prey population explodes. Then rather than grazing and moving on to escape, they graze the vegetation to the soil which then erodes and stops altogether. While predators only take a small percentage of their prey, they affect thousands in their grazing habits. It's a balance that's taken thousands of years to establish.

      @@Robert_Browne Human populations have exploded due to lack of predators eating us. This does not mean we wouldn’t be ok with killing a predator that had to subsist on human flesh to survive. So you would have to name the trait present in humans that if present in other animals would cause you to think it is justified to kill their predators. Also it is vegan gain’s position that it is only justified to kill odd-order predators.
