I don't know what the algorithm thinks of your content in this regard, but I love these videos discussing phylogeny and cladistics. Keep up the good work!
I get reccommended random evolution videos by him VERY often. No atheism or other such videos though, only evolution. But to be fair I 90% of what I watch is paleontology, anthropology, evolution, etc
Aron, I want you to know how much I enjoy and appreciate videos like this. I know they don't get the clicks we all wish they would, but the world would be a poorer place without this content.
I always watch these types from Aron, even though my old brain doesn't always follow what is said ( I nut on it for a while to "guess" what it means and when I see something that clears my confusion, that is where I go )
Some of these are going into D&D campaigns. "You step into a clearing and behold a four-tonne mole with bone-studded hide standing on its hind legs and using foot-long sickle claws to pull a branch down to where it can reach to eat the leaves." "We back off and go another way. We ain't fightin' that."
@@John.0z to be fair, we did not develop the largest brain of our genus. that would be the neanderthals. we get by via the simple solution of being psychotic and attempting to eat everything between us and the goal.
Love Gary Larson. I still remember this quote from one of his books. "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. I have drawn dinosaurs and hominids together in the same cartoon."
I adore how, since there wasn't an actual term for it yet, and because "thagomizer" is so fucking badass, as well as just FEELS accurate, all of science collectively went "Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is."
Take my money! I love these evolution and phylogenetic videos, and I haven't really found a good equivalent since you made the snake ones a tear or so ago!
@AronRa no, thank you. Your expertise and knowledge is far more than mine, and I love knowing even just that little bit more about evolution and how we came to understand the world around us
Yeah, his science lessons make life come alive in a special way that isn't mere infotainment. Actually learning the taxonomy, and further understanding the "genealogy" of our tree is so intrinsically fulfilling

The fact that your channel doesn't have at least a million subscribers shows the current state of the masses.
Look at the armadillo and how perfect it is like a bowling ball. How do you explain that?! WITH GOD. Duh! Clearly the *ATHEIST* STRIKES OUT in trying to explain this by RANDOM CHANCE. HAHAHHAHAH PWND - without armadillo how do you have objective morals?! Check and mate nitwits! HA! See the GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD of random chance and TIME is all they have, add more time and more universe that will save them - but no! The only thing that will save them is JEsus Armadillo-chan! uwu. ^_^ anyway gosh so like fur shure ya know lollolz. Okay that's your nonsense for the day. :) Now time to learn about Xenarthra!
Aron, would you engage in discussion with ICR? They are so blantant in their lies and they are promoting itself as "science institute" that it would be great for someone to read their most blantant lies and talk about them (but it would be probably more or less something simmilar to your videos about genesis apologetics, because creationist often use the same fallacious argument). It would be entertaining and maybe some of their followers would be convinced by your video (which I honestly doubt).
Aron, thankfully there is so very much that these wonderfilled videos can continue! Thankyou so much! I've questions but my brain seems 'smooth' in Morn before tea! I'll re-watch and ask later! 😉👍💙💙💙🥰✌
I wish it weren't getting a little tighter each year here too Aron. It's upsetting that you're struggling when you're a keystone of the RUclips secular community. That was the most humble and logical way I've ever heard someone ask for patrons. And I hope there are people who hear you and are able to contribute. Thanks for the video!!
At work I often watch the entire series over and over. I always catch something new. And these supplements are so easy to digest. I could watch you explain these for everything.
Aron, have you ever heard of the song, The Sloth by Flanders and Swan on their album, The Bestiary . It is funny but perfectly captures the sloths ethos. I want it played at my funeral.
A couple I knew, adopted a rather large and"special" ginger cat. They couldn't think of a name for him until they were making the beast with two backs and he swatted the guy's balls. You can kind of understand why. But that was when he was named, Cato. As in The Pink Panther Movies, "not now Cato!"
How far back was this episode choice, subject choice ,a justification for talking about the thagomiser? Im sure i detected glee in your voice when you got to thet part.. keep on keeping on!!
I'm don't know if your aware of this but the James Webb telescope has just discovered the universe is emanating from the testicles of the immortal all seeing patriarch King Henry 2 and that he's making sure the assemblies of atoms in the universe that keep our kids addicted to Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms are kept safe. His impartiality is impeccable.
I would love to see a video describing the genetic "clock" you refer to in this video. I think understanding that tool would go a long way towards convincing creationists that they're wrong.
I can’t adequately express how thankful I am for these videos. I remember when I watched one of your series or videos that explained cladistics in detail and it was a huge lightbulb moment that everything I used to believe (creationism) was a steaming pile of crap. If ‘god’ was so intelligent, it sure seemed to be out to lunch when it made all the ‘kinds’ 😆 Again, thank you for being our teacher!
So many cute🤗, weird🤨 and adorable🥰 creatures!!! So different then when you have people with such ugly minds on some of your videos talking shit for god!
I know I'm not the only one but Aron did more than just educate me on science ( I feel smarter due to the countless wisdom he has shared ) but his work saved my mind and life, made me a better person. I could never thank Aron enough, he is practically a superhero to me. Thank you, Aron!
I enjoy all of your content, but I really dig your videos about evolution. Not only are the vids chock full of great info presented in a way that's understandable even by the layperson, but you are so obviously passionate about the subject and that comes through in all of this science content. Keep up the good work!
Every day I go looking for more phylogeny videos. The best channels, in my opinion, are (in no specific order): Aron Ra, Professor Dave Explains, Clint's Reptiles, Moth Light Media, PBS Eons, Ben G Thomas, Gutsick Gibbon, Biblaridion (just finished his own Speculative Biology project), Atlaspro (covering more so biogeography than phylogeny) and the occasional video by other channels.
Marvelous. Ive always found the covergence of ant eating forms fascinating. It perfectly highlights how the addition of genetic studies aided phylogeny, their grouping by morphology was logical, yet ultimately flawed.
Hello There. Aron, I am writing a book to continue the good work, of disproving religion of what it was my own! I am so happy that I have found your channel. I would love an special long serie of convergent species... I was wishing you mention the other ant eaters of the world that have the same adaptations for digging and climbing, and you did. As allways I need to re watch the video, to get at least some information to stay. Loved the Doedicurus (again convergent evolutioooon speciaaaal). Also, how long do you think we can take to selectivly breed something like the horned lizar to make a miny giptoanquilosaur?
Aron your videos are always interesting to me. You taught me something about what evolution is but honestly I struggle with how it can be compatible with the Bible. I know the Bible speaks nothing about how humans evolved from apes. Im not gonna reject science either. I feel like science can explain alot about the natural world.
Hay Aron I've been an a fan of yours for a while. Could you recommend a good book for someone who want's to start learning about Anthropology at a beginner level ?
I was wondering about sloths a couple of weeks ago. I am overjoyed to help you. I have never been on patreon before but you are worth it. I was never a creationist let alone religious but those are not the only people revising science to fit their toxic agendas. Your work gave me a comprehensive guide out of those misconceptions. I owe you for that. I wish I could give you more. Thank you.
I saw the clip from the avengers movie and it reminded me how most of the villains in marvel seem to be basing their actions based on a motivated misunderstanding of science, biology in particular.
I'm happy to say I've learned something new today! I knew part of this, but had no idea the richness of the evolution of Xenarthra. Thank you for making all these kinds of videos; I have learned so much from them.

Best cartoonist ever.
I'm glad to be a Patreon of Aron-Ra for several years now. This is a much better use of my resources than church donations that I used to make!
Other animals: We must evolve to outcompete the others!
Sloths: Let's just take it easy
lol 🤣
If you get it right, you don't have to evolve much.
The sloth walking on the ground reminds of many a night after too many drinks.
Sloth: Not so fast... literally!

24:39 Rest in peace, Thag. We thank you for your service to scientific nomenclature.
The origin of Thagomizer will never be not funny :D
i love how your evolution videos look like a waaaay cooler university lecture taught a goth professor.
I come home from work and there's another lesson in evolution. Now that's a way to top the morning.
Aron, please do not stop cranking these out. I can't imagine how many hours you put into these, but I and many others love them. I raise a dark beer to you brother!

This work is to a much higher standard than that of childish Christian woo-woo assertions.
It has to be. This kind of content requires the presenter to know things.
@@Maladjester Exactly.
I've always loved that platypus and echidnas exist. Two completely improbable animals!
I learn more here than I ever did in school. It is sad so much is left out of biology class.
Living in Australia I’m looking forward to your videos on monotremes and marsupials.
So many animals yet so little time to study them.
At least that larger armadillo didn't have to worry about being run over.
Look at the armadillo and how perfect it is like a bowling ball. How do you explain that?! WITH GOD. Duh! Clearly the *ATHEIST* STRIKES OUT in trying to explain this by RANDOM CHANCE.

That's how Noah and his sons passed the time on the arc. They used the curled up armadillos as bowling balls.
@@coweatsman I knew it. :D

I always show up for the cladistics! I love it!
This video unsurprisingly made RUclips’s captions feature shit itself

AronRa and YDAW in the same video?! Hell yes!

Some of my favorite videos on the Internet. Thank you for sharing knowledge.
You’re doing the non-existent God’s work increasing the reach of education in this world!
how is the Phylogeny Explorer Project going btw?
I love getting content of this sort from you. Talking about creationists gets exhausting.
Aron's evolutionary biology stuff is the best.
i actually find it really comforting that those guys are only watching the bullshit, and here we all are, the only ones watching the real info. 😅
Could you do a video on Platypuses/ platypi? I’ve been recently enamoured by how odd they are!
Yesss just got off I need a good video like this to wind down too. Love when you discuss phylogeny.
Incredibly interesting! .......but it totally screws up my ark calculations even more...
As a scientific translator you make science relatable. Thank you.
Gotta love scientists naming the spiked club after a Far Side cartoon.
I believe Gary Larson also had a microscopic form named after him.
This is my first video in this series - can’t wait to go back and watch the rest!
Aron, have you ever heard of the song, The Sloth by Flanders and Swan on their album, The Bestiary . It is funny but perfectly captures the sloths ethos. I want it played at my funeral.
I am looking forward to the next video.
A couple I knew, adopted a rather large and"special" ginger cat. They couldn't think of a name for him until they were making the beast with two backs and he swatted the guy's balls. You can kind of understand why. But that was when he was named, Cato. As in The Pink Panther Movies, "not now Cato!"
Woohoo! Another evolution / cladistics series!
Aron, it's definitely my first round if we meet. 🍻
Cheers mate! 💜☮️
How far back was this episode choice, subject choice ,a justification for talking about the thagomiser? Im sure i detected glee in your voice when you got to thet part.. keep on keeping on!!

Another wonderful cladistics video which I am certain I'll watch several more times. Thank you so much Aron!
Nothing better for a lazy Friday than to watch a video about Sloths. Music for the intro did cause tonal whiplash.
Maybe play it at .5 speed?
This is the content I come to this channel for. Aron at his best
Like others are saying and I've said previously. These are my favourite of your videos.
So very interesting.
Thank you Mr. Ra
Alway a delight to see another one of these coming out. More excellently presented knowledge about my favourite topic to stuff into my brain!
Thanks Aron, very informative. Might help the evolutionists. Lol
I know I'm not the only one but Aron did more than just educate me on science ( I feel smarter due to the countless wisdom he has shared ) but his work saved my mind and life, made me a better person.
I could never thank Aron enough, he is practically a superhero to me. Thank you, Aron!
Fascinating as always, Aron. Thank you.
I had never thought of sloths as yoga masters before.
12:25 I was expecting the My Pillow reference.
Also, the Italian translation of Wormtongue is exactly Vermilingua, closing the circle.

I wonder what Gary Larson thinks about the whole thagomizer thing. He must love it.
A thagamite (or thagomyte🎉😂😂 or a thagot?
I'm not sure which one is better, if either.
Woo, xenarthra! Finally my guys.
Have you ever thought it was slightly ironic that extinct mammals are represented by a Christian cross?
THAGOMIZER! This is one of my favorite scientific terms!
Did anyone get the impression that sloths were really slow?
The evolution of the Funny Finger McGees
I believe there are 4 species of echidna, in the video you said 3
Keep throwing down the knowledge. Loving it!
Love you Aron !
