Just realized I never clearly explained why scientists compare human anatomy to chimp anatomy. It's not because we evolved from them, but because our last common ancestor had locomotion more similar to them than to bipedal humans. My bad, that should've been in the script. Take care yall!
The sheer production quality of your videos is through the roof! I'm studying for Med Uni atm and let me tell you, the material I spent several hundreds on, is not even close to par with your free videos. Videos, you produce yourself. Crazy stuff!
This man could count as one of the most resourceful individual ever , because very few could grind out these researches and make logical and practical conclusion !!
Thank you for the kind words! If you're interested in reading more about this, I have a link to my fact-checked script in the description. It's hosted on Patreon, but you don't have to pay to access the script.
I am not human. I am a trained primate that is trying to learn more about humanity by searching the internet. Thank you for your contribution. It is much appreciated.
schmorl nodes, spondies, gelatinous, squish...need to make sentence using these words from the script somehow: "That squish you hear is gelatinous spinal goo pressing on a nerve thanks to my less evolved spine leaving me chock full of schmorl nodes, but hey, no spondies for me at least! Another good video!
Some questions: - Is illness in general considered to be a design problem? Or it is in fact an indicator of robust resilient system? Should humans get sick of viruses and bacteria or this is also a bad design problem? because if so then in the back of your mind the model answer is an avenger superhero : ) - How much is this theory accepting death as an idea? if so then a good design in that sense is a perfectly working system that suddenly stops all-together, right? - What is the validity of a criticism that offers no real design alternatives ("it should have been done like this ..... ") ? - So the extension of this narrative would go like: buildings lifetime of 60 years is bad design of all the possible cracks and so; cars as well are of bad design to only last 12-20 years with so much of accidents scenarios.. life and civilization would be of not so good design.. It is just a philosophical stand really. - in a Global comparison of prevalence rates of low back pain in the general populations of developed and developing countries, percentages varies from 14% to 64%! I would say in the light of that distribution, that ways of living and cultural characteristics are much more of a factor to be investigated in back pain. (Saying that car design is bad because there is a high risk of life-threatening accidents at speeds over 200km/h is a misuse of the scientific method i would say) - The intro of the video talked about numbers in the "industrialized countries".. It is interesting how you choose to talk about the numbers and not questions the correlation with being "industrialized".. Like obesity is a world wide epidemic with huge effects on posture and center of gravity.. why not comment on that? Is it the problem of the design to have not embraced obesity and very long sitting hours and driving with little to no walking? - [personal] I have neck desk herniation.. but yeah.. I just choose to take responsibility for my actions, and my lifestyle..
So whats the solution? more muscle mass? more exercise? bigger bones? i mean, if we are gonna genetically engineer ourselves to be better in a few hundred years, may as well solve this too
@@Corporis It would be interesting if we were to draw the human being, it would be to put bone remodeling gene in the spine, the whole body has this gene minus the spine. With this, the micro-fractures of the spine will regenerate, thus avoiding problems such as herniated disc.
A few questions: Is there any chance that further human evolution will make us less prone to back pain (while remaining bipedal)? You mentioned week erector-spinae as a factor contributing to back pain. Can training these muscles help? Or more broadly speaking, how does one handle this built-in declination best?
Quick *this is not medical advice* disclaimer. For clarification, it's not that we have weak erector spinae, but when we compare our anatomy to apes, we see a difference in size and general shape. That doesn't mean that getting buff erector spinae will help us though. As far as how to fix back pain _in general_ , that's not something I can answer through the internet since everyone is different and back pain has different causes from person to person.
I can't find a straight answer online, maybe you can help. After disc extrusion, does nucleus pulposus ever fully regenerate, and does the disc extrusion spot closes up and heals
I agree with your observations except the assumption that it is terrible design. It was not designed by anyone unless we arrived from somewhere else, It is just an evolution because of the way we changed our behaviour to adapt to our surroundings and circumstances.
Just discovered your channel from your series on Seeker, and I've been binging your videos for the better part of the past few days. Great job! You've gained a fan here in Hong Kong
Great video as always:) Thank you for sharing these with the world. I gotta admit, I never before in my life wondered why sharks can't do backflips, but it's great to have an answer lol!

Great video as usual 👌, but have to disagree on 1 point. I work as human biomechanics specialist, getting rid of back pain in clients often. It's not a flaw on our spine what triggers pain, but a fixable flaw on the tensegrity of the individual, that creates compression on joints. You can check for yourselves. Functional Patterns is constantly making public 'before and after' results on pictures and videos on it's RUclips channel and social media. Keep up the great work of educating!! ✌️
You brought up the concept of sitting, just as I started thinking about what would happen if we gave monkey office chairs and encourage them to sit in them extended hours a day. Would we begin to see changes in their physiology? I can't help but Wonder if our spinal incongruencies are a reflection of our lifestyle. For many there's no doubt that we sit incorrectly, often sit for too long, and many times we don't collectively take time for a reasonable amount of movement. It seems to me that many animals maintain their movement when given access period to appropriate habitats
Evolution mostly picks the useful things for survival, but if some random/useless thing that doesn't particularly kill you sticks around, it'll stay that way even if it causes pain like our spines.

Seriously considering knuckle walking to see if it results in less back pain.
I'm devolving!
I'll get the bandages ready
Ill get balalala ready 🍌🍌🍌🍌

Your uploads are so wonderful! I discovered you from that pop tart joke and I’ve been hooked on your content ever since. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Lmao, truly my finest work! Thank you, glad to have you around!
Love your channel. Love the way you explain everything. Keep creating amazing content.
That means a lot, thank you so much :)
this is fascinating. thanks for the clear explanation
Glad you enjoyed it! It was an interesting topic to research
Him: Old word monkey have massive erect...
Me: WOOAHHHH STEADY
Him... erector spinae, while humans have..
Me: Oh. Yep. Continue..
I swear the fact that the title rhymes got me to click on it twice as fast, haha.
Love the animal animations! (animaltions)
Thank you! That little fox character was my first time using the puppet tool in after effects and there's sooooo much to learn about it
Can you do more videos on the evolution of human anatomy..very helpful ..great video
Someday, for sure. Are there any structures you want to see covered in particular?
@@Corporis Anything really...Maybe Pelvis, Humerus, Femur, Feet....You're the expert
My back pain is caused by my immune system having some weird grudge against my cartilege since I was 5 XD Great video!!
It isn’t a flaw of the human body it’s the reasoning of how well you treat your body to avoid it
While not exactly sharks, mobula rays do backflips while breaching, search for it, it looks fantastic
WAIT WHAT?! THAT IS WILD
Very nice videos, mate!
After watching this video I am feeling pain in my lower back
schmorl nodes, spondies, gelatinous, squish...need to make sentence using these words from the script somehow:
"That squish you hear is gelatinous spinal goo pressing on a nerve thanks to my less evolved spine leaving me chock full of schmorl nodes, but hey, no spondies for me at least!
Another good video!
Back pathology, but make it a musical
I was hoping this would be about the spine. Instead its a narrative on evolution.
Really well explained, don't understand why it only has 3.7k view.
I appreciate that
Good video Mr. Kelly! :)

This spoke to me on a deep level.
I have several genetic disorders.
My dad's worst DNA + my mom's worst DNA = me 👍
My spine is a goshdarn mess...
Can I ask you question sir about scmorls nodes ? You seem well educated
*amused that in a prosodic analysis, a spondee is two stressed or long syllables in a single foot/rhythmic bar*
Chortle. When Patrick said "spondee", I thought "dactyl".
I had no idea that poetry RUclips intersected with anatomy RUclips, but here we are!
@@Corporis Laypeople with intellectual curiosity lurk in many places! ;-)
@@tammcd this is the digit primeval
If you don't have back pain count your lucky stars. This is the worst thing ever especially when it disables you.
What type of vertebrae do people who get Retrolisthesis have?
So, how should the spine be redesigned then?
So whats the solution? more muscle mass? more exercise? bigger bones? i mean, if we are gonna genetically engineer ourselves to be better in a few hundred years, may as well solve this too
I say we genetically engineer ourselves some turtle shells. Not because it would solve anything, but because, like, that'd be siiiiiick.

I mean, now if you ever meet one you'll have a good conversation starter
So would exercises that strengthen the erector spinae help prevent back pain?

interesting, I would have thought that the idea of evolution would have always been an improvement, not a detriment.
Allow me to introduce you to dog breeding.
Evolution mostly picks the useful things for survival, but if some random/useless thing that doesn't particularly kill you sticks around, it'll stay that way even if it causes pain like our spines.
Your ancestor was a mouse? Mine was Adam.
The spine is an extremely intelligent design
Sorry for taking your likes from 666 to 667 :P
You kind of seem to ignore the bio-psycho-social model of pain here.
Yep. There's a time and place to talk about pain models (not that I know anything worth talking about) but this video was focused on the evolution of the spine.
bring forth the memes of God, Gabriel, and their terrible design choices
