Phylogeny and the Tree of Life

  • Alright, we've learned about how unicellular organisms came to be, how they became multicellular, and then from those how evolution by natural selection produced all the species in the world today. But there are so many! Millions and millions in fact. Which is most closely related to which? When did each evolve? What about all the ones that are gone? How do we keep track of this?! Ok calm down, friend. There is a whole discipline called taxonomy that we use to keep track of the phylogeny of every species. To see how it works, we look at the tree of life!

    I would like to add a comment that chordates aren’t just classified as having a spinal cord, though that is one of the characteristics needed and is the major one, they most also have “Gill slits” or a sort of Gill like structure that appeared early on in evolution that all cordates have at one point in their development, and (for example humans) loose them later on in their developmental period.

    • @ExplosiveBrohoof
      @ExplosiveBrohoof 10 месяцев назад +2

      If we're going to be technical, having a "spinal chord" implies the presence of a spine, and only vertebrates have spines. Chordates instead are said to have a "dorsal nerve chord" at some point in their development. Some animals are chordates but not vertebrates, like tunicates or lancelets.

    It's rather misleading (and arrogant) to portray human beings as the top of the tree, as though we were somehow the goal of evolution or should consider ourselves superior to everything else. We're just one branch on the very large and diverse tree of life, and we're not objectively better or worse than other species. We may be the most intelligent, but eagles have better vision, dogs have a better sense of smell, frogs can breathe in the air or underwater, plants can make their own food, salamanders can regrow lost limbs, and _Deinococcus radiodurans_ can survive under conditions that would kill us in minutes.

      There are also some other problems with the concept of species. For example, 'being capable of making viable offspring' is not a transitive relation. For example you can find this in nature: individual A can have offspring with B, B can have offspring with C, C can have offspring with D, but D can't have offspring with A.

    Hey Dave. I really love your videos debunking flat earther idiocy and have started watching your other videos. Sorry to nit pick here but the branching relationships shown in your tree are very misleading, e.g. the branching pattern at 7:36 gives the impression that Reptilia shares a common ancestor with Agnatha and Amphibia independent of Mammalia and Aves. Moreover, Aves is a clade within Reptilia (or Sauropsida). Lizards, snakes, and tuatara would be better represented as Lepidosauria. Similarly, the branching pattern at 7:01 suggests that Porifera and Cnidaria share a common ancestor independent of Arthropoda. I appreciate that some things need to be simplified but I refuse to accept that simplification requires inaccuracy. Sure there is a better way to explain this part of your video.

This works under the linnaean system which had no regard for evolutionary relationships, but in the context of evolutionary relationships, aves is very much apart of reptilia, but then if you fix that, you run into issues of terminology in how can a class be nested in another class as both aves and reptilia are classes under the linnaean system.

Not so much in what he said but in the images and depictions he used and the over-emphasis on the Carl Linneus style of break down of phylogeny rather than monophyletic cladistics which is what modern up to date phylogeny uses. That is what Dave uses in his zoology course so he has learned from former mistakes. There were also just so many other inaccurate or poorly made depictions of phylogeny here as well, like how clades are all besides each other rather than each in there own nested clades to some point of shared ancestry. But the worst one was how birds were separeted from reptiles on multiple instances instead of represented as part of reptilia, since birds ARE dinosaurs. I did not like this video.
