    1.) We got notes to fill in because of this due to the Corona Virus causing schools to close down
    2.) We just like watching Documentaries for some reason

    Ur Welcome
    Darwin starts investigation after eating an armadillo and afterwards finding a fossil of a larger extinct version of the armadillo
    Darwin travels to the remote island of the Galápagos
    Darwin learns about the distinction of tortoises shell depending on the island it is from
    Darwin starts investigation the subtle differences between the native mockingbirds
    On the voyage back to England Darwin hypothesizes that One common species came from the mainland and changed in different ways on different islands.
    Darwin concludes that spices might change
    1837 England Darwin keeps his idea that species change over time secret in fear of rioting
    Darwin hypothesizes that today's species are descendants of older extinct species therefore all spices are connected from one another
    Any species can give rise to new and slightly different species
    Darwin concludes that species come from other species just as naturally as children come from parents
    Darwin keeps his ideas a secret in fear
    Darwin meets Wallace for the first time
    Wallace heads to the Malay Archipelago
    Wallace is captivated by a group of butterflies called bird wings
    Wallace notices that butterflies tend to differ depending on the island
    Wallace comes to the same conclusion as Darwin- species change over time
    The more similar 2 species are the closer they tend to live
    Species are connected to each other like branches of a tree
    Manatees are creatures that live entirely in the sea yet have fingers similar to humans
    Useless features in animals make it clear that every species are a modified form of an older species
    Wallace observes the differences of mammals on the island of Borneo and New guinea
    This leads Wallace to come to the conclusion that the animals of the Eastern islands of the Archipelago are more related to Australia while the western island animals are more related to Asia
    This differences is species would to put in a line dubbed the Wallace line.
    The islands were once to connected to their corresponding continent
    All living things individuals vary in small ways.
    Animal species tend to have steady populations due to massive amounts of young dying early
    Massive death plus variation equals evolution.
    Wallace sends his studies to Darwin
    Wallace names it Natural selection
    Wallace + Darwin = Best Buds forever
    The End

      Darwin died with his famous quote
      If someone don’t find the specimen for our
      Theory .. ( 40 coming years ) I will neglect the theory
      Wallace was making credit for him self he obtained the nickname ( sir ) with a lot of rewards and money to go on , he made up the
      false specimen by mixing the bones of monkeys and humans at lab .. introducing the world with his finding
      300 Phd was given on these false specimen.
      The media was exploding by the news
      After his death
      The specimen was investigating again with c14
      Technology and they shocked by the results
      The media this time was quite and silent
      This is how they were honest for the world and Science .

      It is not ironic at all. It actually proves the mechanism of evolution further,. The concept of empathy and companionship proved to be a good evolutionary strategy for more successful survival at social animals. At humans even more due to high intelligence and self-awareness. With this, they literally proved that the idea of so called social Darwinism is bogus before it even appeared.

I had stumbled onto a video from this channel about the end of the dinosaurs and how researchers had pieced things together to prove their theory. I was impressed by the quality and am now watching the other videos at this channel.

    I hesitate to sound deterministic here but I am fascinated by the way in which Darwin's development of his theory is deeply embedded within the culture of his time. For a start, people of this era were inveterate collectors of specimens, as was Darwin himself (Walllace, not being a 'gentleman of independent means' was making a living from supplying to this demand). The close attention to form which classification demands is one of the skills quite widespread among acommunity of the time - Darwin himself was a barnacle expert - sensitive to the very slight variations in form that distinguish species from each other. This highly developed sensitivity to the variety of forms of life helps to explain how, when Darwin encountered the closely related finches of the Galapagos, he was able to postulate and imagine a mechanism of natural selection (Wallace too must have been sensitive to the form of the specimens he collected - it was his livelihood after all).
    In conjunction with this attention to the minutia of the variation of form there was at the same time an awareness of the "deep time", springing from an understanding of geology (something Darwin himself was acutely aware of, have read Lyle's work). Geology, emerging at this time, introduced people to the idea that the past was immense, the very rocks could be composed of the remains of countless generations of marine organisms - this was something unknown to previous generations. A sense of 'deep time' gives us the stage upon which evolution took place' and which would seem improbable otherwise.
    Furthermore, Adam Smith, writing cogently about the competition for survival among economic entities (Wealth of Nations published in 1776) introduced Darwin to the notion of competition for scarce resources and how this drove economic development (this was also a work with which Darwin was familiar).
    What this all adds up to is a sense in which individual discoveries are very much a product of antecedent knowledge - I would go so far as to suggest that were it not Darwin who first proposed the theory of natural selection it was almost inevitable that someone else at this time would (this, I think, explains why Wallace independent came up with the same theory).

      The story of evolutionism has turned out to be the biggest joke in the history on mankind, due to mankind's want to justify their rejection of God who created them. They only wanted a justification for sin and to be sex offenders and fornicators.

    "Species might change" Well, this was well known long before Darwin. If men could change animals by selection, natural conditions could do that too. Darwin was certainly not the first having this idea. But his well formulated and thoroughly researched and generalized ideas were explosive in a religiously biased society.

    • @colin2709
      @colin2709 3 года назад +2

      What Darwin, along with Wallace, was the first in proposing was that evolution occurred because of natural selection - before this there were a number of erroneous theories about what drove evolution. Lamarck, for example, believed that organisms changed form due to the pressure of the environment, giraffes reached up to gather high foliage and so their necks got longer and this was passed onto their offspring (which is not true).
      Darwin may have been influenced by early economic treatise, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, 1776 (which he studied) described how economic entities compete for scarce resources. Darwin perceived that death must be a non-random and therefore selective force, shaping and changing direction of the development of species (we now know the mechanism that generates variation takes place do so at a genetic level - Darwin only knew that variation took place and that selection did the rest).

      @@colin2709 - We have examples of breeding selection in the Bible when Jacob bread the spotted livestock to steal the herd from his father-in-law. We now know that genetic variation is preprogrammed into the genetic code and can also be turned on and off by environmental pressure.
      They were saying that we would have flying cars by now but instead we know that DNA is more complex than the most sophisticated computer program ever designed. It’s the highest information density in the universe literally written on molecules and transcribed by molecular machines that are coded for on the very DNA they transcribe. There’s at least a dozen “chicken and egg” problems with DNA where you have to have it for the DNA to be useful but you have to have DNA to code for it. Then there’s the problem of information being stacked in multiple layers on the DNA strand and the fact that it’s got to be folded correctly to read it correctly. The levels of complexity are astounding and nothing short of miraculous. Miracles are typically attributed to God and I think that God is a genius beyond human comprehension.

    Having now listened to this entire show, I have to say, it is EXCELLENT! Better than any Nova, BBC, or other presentation. Gets out the essential facts clearly and in an interesting way. Excellent photography and videography. Shots on different species are held so that one can actually take in the differences, or just see the beauty. This is in marked contrast to other shows that give us rapid-fire bursts and staccato presentations that are more like a gaming video than an attempt to actually allow people to LEARN. I also appreciate that the narrators speak in a calm manner. Well done!
