We only have two people working on the series (and all other videos we release) for the most part unless we've taken on an intern or two for a semester. Because we like to be as accurate as possible, and rely on animation, it takes us much longer to achieve the quality we'd like. It's a quantity of videos in a year vs quality trade we're willing to make until we're able to hire more full time staff to help things go faster(non-profit life, yo).
Is this referring to assuming parsimonious family trees? Because I have a simple answer to that: It's the only tool we have for determining evolutionary relationships between different taxa, barring time machines and a _lot_ of patient interns.
@@StephenKoplin did you ever find the source for that quote? The _only_ thing that shows up when I search for it is from some forum where one of the people posting there uses it as a signature line, as a quote... but gives no source for it. _~sigh~_
Any chance you guys could expand to "Your Prehistoric Animals Are Wrong," or YPAAW in general? That way you could also cover pterosaurs, crocodylomorphs, synapsids, and prehistoric mammals.
There's a Pteranodon and a Dimetrodon episode already, and very interesting they are. No need to change the name, it's snappier the way it is. I wouldn't mind seeing another pterosaur or two - a giant Aszdarchid please, Quetzalcoatlus or relative! Or a pliosaur like Liopleurodon: the dark side of the plesiosaurs.
31:20 One of the best segments in the entire series. The complete bombardment of information regarding the evolution of dinosaurs and the traits that make all of them unique animals is among the best ways to end a video about Archaeopteryx. This ties into the Dinosaur Revolution, where just because they're old and dead doesn't mean they are just pawns on the pathway to birds. It's hard to explain exactly what makes it so fantastic to me, but it goes along the lines of: Okay, an animal could have this feature, or that feature, or any other one, but following any of these lineages reveals an entire tree with animals containing that feature, and continuing along a branch reveals animals with a new trait, and others with more new traits. Starting off with a seed, and growing into a giant tree. I guess I'm just amazed at how varied this tree of life is where no matter WHAT part of the tree a creature is on, there's something unique and complicated that cannot be found on any other part of the tree. I feel as if every entry in this series expresses more of the scientific backdrop, like the explanation of Cladogram construction, though I also like the idea of a "story", like the bone bed in the last episode. Inference of a detailed history based on evidence is very interesting. Always fun to learn things you didn't know, especially finding the things you thought were right actually weren't! Great video Steven and the crew, can't wait until the next one.
Professionally, I'm a photographer. I would love to get a chance at photographing an archaeopteryx specimen so I could get the lighting right to show the details... A lot of fossil images don't seem to focus on using optimum lighting for the best representation of details. Sorry for more rambling. I actually put together a portfolio of paleontological and archaeological photography for one of my college courses, so I'm passionate about the subject. ^^"
Personally, I'd love to see your work. I agree with you 100%. I have also wished someone would do that for a while. It would be nice to see if they come out as well as I've suspected they would.
Huh... I always thought it was just a kinda long-armed, fluffy velociraptor. I should've pictured it more like a funky bird with teeth. This series is re-awakening my kindergarten obsession with dinosaurs.
I wish I had a teacher explaining things so interesting as you do when I went to school. I’m sure a lot of my fellow students wouldn’t have slept during courses as they did now. Thanks for the interesting presentation. Seeing these things awakens the child in me. I was and still am a dino geek.
Fantastic. Just a little precision, the London specimen have actually a partial head preserved. It was revealed by a work (I don't remember when but before 2000) of a recent preparator that was allowed to cut a part of the archaeopteryx block to expose the parieto-occipital region of a partially preserved skull in the lower left part of the block (Angela Milner). For flying ability, there is always a misconception if Archaeopteryx is a bird a bird would have a wishbone like a bird. But we knows an animal what is flying extremely efficiently without any sternal modification, it is bat. They have a traditional mammal sternum and fly perfectly. Of course the myology and biomechanics is not the same but it is interesting to see how some structures considered as essential are in fact not completely. I don't say, that archaeopteryx could fly as a bat, certainly not, but I only say be careful the animal was possibly more efficient in the air than we can actually demonstrate. There is no doubt that if we have no modern relative for bats and have found only fossils that we have considered them as poor flyers. As I have studied the large ornithocheiroid pterosaurs a lot of misconception have been used for long time especially that the sternum was not developed enough to insert muscles necessary for power flight. We knows today that it is false. All the best.
Great video! I would personally love to see you do an episode on Iguanodon, because of its significance to the history of studying dinosaurs, and its varying reconstructions over the years!
And of course, baby hoatzins have claws on their wings, just like Archaeopteryx! Though unlike Archaeopteryx, the baby hoatzin's claws fuse together when it grows up.
actually most birds have wing claws: emus chickens hoatzins are the only ones where ive seen the claws but id asume that most ratites and close relitives of chickens would also have wing claws
If a snake can flatten its ribs and glide great distances, I have GREAT confidence that this feathery boi could at the very least navigate a 3 dimensional biome with great proficiency.
You guys are the first organisation I have committed to on Patreon before. You are doing great work, and this particular video series is my favorite on RUclips. Keep it up, and can't wait to see your next video.
I would appreciate it if you did an azhdarchid, such as Quetzalcoatlus, in which case I would recommend the schleich figure as all of their figures of prehistoric animals are very inaccurate
Hearing all this (awesomeness) info on taxonomy and how dinosaurs are grouped..... I'd love to see Steven do an episode analyzing the Indominus Rex to figure out it's genetic makeup (what traits it resembles with what _actual_ dinos, and where it may not resemble an _actual_ dinosaur at all). I'd totally sit thru a video about that :-P
When you were going through the tree explanation I was distinctly reminded of the ion engine wiki page in the fact that I had absolutely no idea what was going on but it was still interesting.
I would so love if you could do a primitive pterosaur or a water lizard i.e. ichthyosaur, plesiosaur, mosasaur. And, at your own pace, an episode on the BONE WARS
I think it would be interesting if you looked at the physical model for _Psittcosaurus_ which was supposedly the most accurate dinosaur model ever created. I'd love to see you try and find an error in it. cdn.sci-news.com/images/enlarge3/image_4197_1e-Psittacosaurus.jpg
This is a wonderful description of Archaeopteryx Lithographica and Siemensii! Archaeopteryx is the main reason why I'm into dinosaurs, birds, evolution, and prehistoric animals in the first place! And to see it analysis very well here with new facts, just makes me happy! Keep up the good work, TheGeekGroup!
Why do i keep coming back to watch this episode every couple couple months? Yes the archaeopteryx is my 2nd favourite animal (behind the thylacine) but there are hundreds of videos about this animal, so why THIS video? The world may never know, but i'm glad it's here for me to enjoy.
Steven you are awesome. seriously cud listen you break down dinosaurs all day.....and I have. I look forward to this series more than any other on youtube!
imagine how we would see dinosaurs if back then when archaeopteryx was found all the scientists agreed that birds are dinosaurs and non avien dinosaurs closely related to birds...
Fascinating. Just found this channel, and I love how this series doesn't dumb down or "popularize" cladistics, anatomy, or paleontology, and yet is still very accessible. And so many sources from 2010+! I have no doubt you've covered the recent study on feathers (lack thereof) in tyrannosaurs, but I'll have to get around to those videos.
Steven Bellettini Thanks for the reply, I am absolutely addicted to this series. Forget the Tyrannosaur feathers; I am itching to see your response to the Baron et al paper completely rewriting dinosaur cladistics! I think it comfortably merits its own video
I feel spoiled having only recently discovered this series and basically binged it the past week or so. Excited for whenever the next one comes out, however many months that may be :)
I want to study on my own until 25:50 onwards is understandable to me enough where I could explain that on my own. I get lost pretty frequently and look up a lot of the words he uses and am slowly learning more. It's honestly so hard not to get completely enamored listening to people talk about things they know and love especially when the vastness of their understanding of the subject is so far beyond your grasp you need to decipher what they're saying to understand them. This is probably really stupid but I think I finally realize why the vocab is so important before the next chapter of a text book...
Can you please do a YDAW on Mosasaurus? I know it is not a dinosaur, but it is one of my favorite Mesozoic creatures! If not Mosasurus , how about Paralititan? Either one would be great!
Great video, really appreciated that information about traits, it was very informative and interesting applying it to specific topics within paleontology. I wish YDAW videos happened more often. =)
I hate how much cooler dinosaur toys became after I stopped playing with toys... Well, tiny plastic toys... Well, tiny plastic toys I don't paint myself. Point is, I wish I had feathered dinosaurs in my childhood.
Just started watching this series and I love it I've been really obsessed with learning about dinos recently.... its like I'm channeling my 10 year old self
This was one of the first dinosaurs that got me really interested, since as someone who lives in the south of the UK i'd visit the London Natural History Museum a lot as a kid and growing up, i mean i still do now when i have the time to spend a day there when possible, and that Archaeopteryx fossil was always something i could just stand and stare at for ages.
The Natural History Museum was always good as a kid. It was also very early in reorganising it’s main display on the basis of cladistics (late 70’s if my memory is correct, but it might have been 81 or 82) so even growing up in the 70’s/80’s one of the takeaway messages was birds are dinosaurs.
YAY!! \o/ another YDAW!! I'm still trying to find a Lioplueridon, not having much luck.... I would like to hear what you think about the Phylogeny Explorer Project..... (btw, nice beard Steven....suits you well; well on your way to looking like a proper paleontologist. Now you need a shabby dusty fedora!...)
Awesome! A comeback! I'd like to request a video on an azhdarchid of some sort, preferably Hatzegopteryx or Volgadraco, as I find this family of pterosaurs very interesting and I don't really see them featured... well... anywhere really. Quetzalcoatlus gets some time in the spotlight occasionally, but until Jurassic World: the Game came out, I didn't even know that the Alanqa existed. A video on anyone in the azhdarchid family would be greatly loved and appreciated.
One animal that will hopefully be covered eventually is some sort of Oviraptorid, probably Oviraptor as it would make a much more interesting episode than Citipati, but since they're considered very similar I suppose it would be appropriate to mention Citipati and Gigantoraptor. I've seen several requests so far for Quetalcoatlus, which I definitely agree with if only to illustrate key differences between Azdharchids (which also include animals such as Hatzegopteryx and Eurazdharhco) and other Pterosaurs such as Pteranodon, Eudimorphodon and Pterodactylus. I myself would be surprised and pleased if you were sent a model of Becklespinax altispinax, since I did play Fossil Fighters as a child and became familiar with the animal.
I've only recently started watching this series from the start (late discovery on my part) and I think this episode may very well be my favorite so far!
Where does the tan, blue, and red coloration for Archaeopteryx come from? I've seen it a few times before, so I have to assume it originates somewhere where it had a decent bit of impact. Like, even Pokemon does it in their monster based on Archaeopteryx, "Archeops/Archen".
Could u guys do Gallimimus Bullatus, It has always been my favourite Dinosaur (ever since I was little) but I don't know how accurate the depictions are D: PS: I love this channel, Keep up the good work, always excited to see another YDAW!
Hey, cool video! Really enjoyed and learned a lot about this little dinosaur! :) Also, I think it'd be cool if you could do a video on Acrocanthasaurus or Kosmoceratops.
i love these videos, and i hope anyone who gives them a thumbs down is living an unpleasant life of painful rashes and constant, unfulfilling stickiness. i also continue to hope for a tongue-in-cheek dino-riders YDAW
It is important to emphasize the difference between paleoart and paleontography. Paleontography is the attempt to faithfully reconstruct extinct life forms according to their anatomy, behavior and etc. It is a serious form of reconstituting a species/specimen/ecosystem. Paleoart on the other side has a more subjective and speculative trend in reconstituting a life form. Art is but a representation of what's happening inside your mind, having no responsibility with reality. Paleoart creates movie monsters, Paleontography revives real creatures. Obs.: my childhood dream is to be a paleontographer
I love watching these videos! They really inspire me to draw dinosaurs more and I love trying to draw them in ways I’m not necessarily accustomed to :) did a quick lil sketch of an archaeopteryx 1/3-1/2 way through :)
FINALLY ITS BEEN SO LONG YES but can you do a video on *_Masiakasaurus Knopfleri_* And you guys should make your own dinosaur toys which are accurate and show them at the end of the episode before the credits
Finally! Why did you guys go for so long? I unsubscribe and subscribed 3 times from impatience and then not wanting to miss the next episode 😂

"I do like the tarsal scutes" - that's not a phrase you hear every day.
"tarsal scutes" sounds like a country western singer.
Depends on how much YDAW you are listing to I suppose
Just to clarify, the "worst quality Papo figure" is actually not from Papo, but a knock off/bootleg of Papo's model.
Oh, that makes sense.

"Life is a writhing, messy, iterative, beautiful experiment."
That was strangely poignant.
Dr. Ian Malcom approves this message.

Only one of those reptiles is an actual water lizard, but I would like to see an episode on marine reptiles or primitive pterosaurs too!

That intro never gets old!
People who complain about scientists "not making up their mind" don't understand how science works.
For extra irony, if a scientist is stuck backtracking the issue is actually that they made up their mind too soon!
This is one of your best episode! I learnt so much! Thanks.

I just have to say I enjoy 'Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong' series but this episode was really interesting and educational. I enjoyed it thoroughly!
It might be interesting to take a Godzilla toy, and compare it to the real life Gojirasaurus.
Nothing better than watching the history of dinosaurs figuring out flight than watching that history with my tiny flying dinosaur.

You should do a mosasaurus or one of it relatives. (I'd also like to see a plesiosaur)
P.S I am aware that they aren't dinosaurs
This video was absolutely beautiful! I loved how detailed you got in the last 10-15 minutes of the video!
I love this series so much. Theres so much effort in every way. I learn so much. Thank you tons and tons ❤️
Great video, really appreciated that information about traits, it was very informative and interesting applying it to specific topics within paleontology. I wish YDAW videos happened more often. =)
Yes, it's been a long time coming!!!
Please do Crylophosaurus!
I've been wondering where this show has been! Missed it so much!
You guys make my favorite dinosaur/etc videos. I always learn something! (sometimes a lot of things!) So glad when there's a new YDAW!

thegeekgroup, "life does not give us that luxury, life is a messy experiment"
So I guess you could say life uh . . . life finds a way right?
You should examine the dinosaur Eustreptospondylus. He was killer!
Could you please Doei deinocheirus. It is suchs a weird looking dinosaur. I LOVE it.
One animal that will hopefully be covered eventually is some sort of Oviraptorid, probably Oviraptor as it would make a much more interesting episode than Citipati, but since they're considered very similar I suppose it would be appropriate to mention Citipati and Gigantoraptor.
I've seen several requests so far for Quetalcoatlus, which I definitely agree with if only to illustrate key differences between Azdharchids (which also include animals such as Hatzegopteryx and Eurazdharhco) and other Pterosaurs such as Pteranodon, Eudimorphodon and Pterodactylus.
I myself would be surprised and pleased if you were sent a model of Becklespinax altispinax, since I did play Fossil Fighters as a child and became familiar with the animal.
This is quality content
I've only recently started watching this series from the start (late discovery on my part) and I think this episode may very well be my favorite so far!
Where does the tan, blue, and red coloration for Archaeopteryx come from?
I've seen it a few times before, so I have to assume it originates somewhere where it had a decent bit of impact.
Like, even Pokemon does it in their monster based on Archaeopteryx, "Archeops/Archen".
During the first half of this video I was able to unserstand mostly everything he was saying and then BOOM genetics hit me
Could u guys do Gallimimus Bullatus, It has always been my favourite Dinosaur (ever since I was little) but I don't know how accurate the depictions are D:
PS: I love this channel, Keep up the good work, always excited to see another YDAW!
Wish I could like a video more than once, this is one of my favorite RUclips shows!
Hey, cool video! Really enjoyed and learned a lot about this little dinosaur! :) Also, I think it'd be cool if you could do a video on Acrocanthasaurus or Kosmoceratops.
When I was in high school, I read about Archaeopteryx in my science textbook, and at the time it said that Archaeopteryx was the first bird.
Watching this while hatching my ark archaeopteryx!
Yi chi the real dragon!!
Those are so cool.
It's the face of the Night's Watch!
i love these videos, and i hope anyone who gives them a thumbs down is living an unpleasant life of painful rashes and constant, unfulfilling stickiness. i also continue to hope for a tongue-in-cheek dino-riders YDAW
You made me cry... thank you!
It is important to emphasize the difference between paleoart and paleontography. Paleontography is the attempt to faithfully reconstruct extinct life forms according to their anatomy, behavior and etc. It is a serious form of reconstituting a species/specimen/ecosystem. Paleoart on the other side has a more subjective and speculative trend in reconstituting a life form. Art is but a representation of what's happening inside your mind, having no responsibility with reality. Paleoart creates movie monsters, Paleontography revives real creatures.
Obs.: my childhood dream is to be a paleontographer
The Paleo Miner I'm pretty sure paleontography is a type of paleoart.
The Paleo Miner
So would the _Walking with Dinosaurs_ miniseries count as palaeoart or palaeontography?
Make sure to do Deinocheirus next or Concavenator!
Deinocheirus would be interesting to see in YDAW...
I love watching these videos! They really inspire me to draw dinosaurs more and I love trying to draw them in ways I’m not necessarily accustomed to :) did a quick lil sketch of an archaeopteryx 1/3-1/2 way through :)
FINALLY ITS BEEN SO LONG YES but can you do a video on *_Masiakasaurus Knopfleri_*
And you guys should make your own dinosaur toys which are accurate and show them at the end of the episode before the credits
Masiakasaurus is my second favorite dinosaur!
Although not technically dinosaurs, could you do lioplurodon or kronosaurus (excuse my spelling of those names)
Yes. I would love to see a giant marine reptile.
