If you traced your family tree back 185 million generations through evolution, you wouldn't be looking at a human, a primate, or even a mammal. You'd be looking at a fish. So where along that line does the first human show up? The answer may surprise you!

The analogy of, you were once a baby and now your an adult, but there was no one single day in which you went from baby to adult.
Brilliantly said.
Pretty sure when I joined the military I went from baby to adult. :-)
@Red Kane , so, you are saying you are a baby before the day you hit puberty and became an adult on the day you hit puberty?
@Red Kane that means you are no longer a teenager after hitting puberty?
@Red Kane so, which day onwards did you lose KID characteristics and biologically became adult right on that day ever since?
@Red Kane did you actually read the comments carefully before replying? The highest comment here is mentioning that such a day did not exist, which leads to my comment. So what is your point exactly? Are you agreeing that there is such a day or disagreeing or agreeing and disagreeing on the same time? You made me felt very confused with your stand.

That would need to be over a very long span of time for it to work. It’s a “single day” not a period of sleep. Although a problem with that phrasing is that most people’s sleeping tends to happen over two days, with most of it in the second.

Nope. they are not even slightly related to not even your ancestors from million years ago, exclude these hippy socialists from the scene.

Bro, so like what if you when back in time to 375 million years ago and you got hungry so you went fishing and you caught a fish and ate it but that was actually your tikaalik grandfather
No, at that time we were a reptile-like fish, and we didnt feed on the same species of our own, we hunt another fish species that was totally different from our own.
And yes, we and the fish we hunted at 375 million years ago came from a same ancestor about 550 million years ago

After seeing the insane comments in the national geographic video on human evolution I'm glad to see the comments here are positive and not dismissive of evolution and science.
I sorted by Newest. I'm seeing a ton of bollocks claiming either evolution is false or Adam and Eve were the first human
Me:eating fish
Also me: cannibalism
Also you: Neanderthal
Someone saying "I refuse to believe we came from a chimpanzee" is just as annoying and ignorant as someone saying "I refuse to believe that I came from my cousin".
It makes no sense. At all.
At least educate yourself before making some ridiculous comment and sounding like a bigot. And if you still refuse to put some research into what you say, don't expect your comment to have any credibility in it.
Also, I love how people who do not support evolution still continue watching videos like this. If you hate it so much, why click on it?
They click on this video because deep down they have some doubt in their own beliefs. Why else would a good, testament-abiding, Christian come here? To insult people? Nahh, their Bible tells them specifically not to do that :-)
I think it's just the first step for them to open their mind though.
I actually haven't considered that. They could be in denial, so by finalising their opinion in comment form could make them feel like they're not losing faith, but deep down they are.
Or maybe some do it because they're just trolls.
It could be that the Bible has been disproved once again and they just feel the need so assert their anger on those who accept Evolution over Adam an Eve.
Or yes, it's possible they are trolls :)
I totally agree with you Stephanie I was in a student Christian refuge group and they were saying that evolution isn't real. And I asked why and the leader said "because my uncle isn't an ape"
andy bechdoldt Well, if that's what they want to believe then...
I suppose it's no use trying to show them either. Christians can be very fanatical about their beliefs which is understandable.

@@tenchi1357 that is.. not proof in any possible way. You just said "my proof is that the world exists" and okay, cool. But you proved that the world is real, not that god made it. Also, there's scientific evidence that the world was NOT created by any god.
does this also mean there was no first chicken?
Jake Sandstorm Exactly, says this theory. There was no first chicken, so there are no chicken today. But, because there are chicken, the theory is wrong. It is just an intricate way trying to prove the Bible is wrong (no fist man, no Adam. No Adam, no sin. No sin, no need for salvation). True scientists don't lie.
Religious views aside, many things in the bible have been scientifically disproven. There was no "first" human or chicken because the changes in the genome of the species that humans or chickens evolved from were so gradual over hundreds of thousands of years that it's impossible to identify those miniscule changes between a single generation that would denote a new species. It's like the Ship of Theseus. If you replace a ship one piece at a time, it's impossible to determine at what point it's a new ship. So if you replaced every piece of a ship with different types of wood and metal one piece at a time over a long span of time, there's no single instance where you can say definitively that it's a different ship. But after every piece has been replaced, it will look entirely different from the original ship and will have no piece from the original ship. If you looked at a photo of the original and a photo of the "new" ship side by side, you would likely say that they are two completely different ships- and they are, but it's impossible to pinpoint the exact moment that one became the other.
Jake Sandstorm The Bible is not a scientific book, so there is no need to scientifically prove or disprove it. Unfortunately the "science" of evolution is saturated with the dogmas of atheism - like it or not - though it should not be necessarily this way, and - believe it or not - atheism is a religion.
The whole concept shown above is based on the erroneous presumption of continuous and linear change of species, although this has not been observed nor proven. The phenomenon called fluctuating variation e.g. in case of Darwin's Finches give an interesting insight into how evolution works. For more on fluctuating variation, see: www.truthinscience.org.uk/content.cfm?id=3160.
the "science" of evolution is saturated with libraries full of research and fossil records. but no, you're right, we were all magically zapped into existence by a sky wizard. makes much more sense. Atheism is, by definition, not a religion. And for the record, I'm not atheist. Did you even read that article? because it still supports the theory of evolution. I don't even know what you're trying to argue anymore. You're all over the place.
What do you know about evolution?
It’s a fundamental issue of language. Because everything we live with has some sort of spectrum. We resolved this by breaking it down using categories which in turn makes labels. Which works by directing us to a part of a spectrum, but gives us the wrong thinking by causing us to, in certainty, identify that ‘thing’ as ‘it’. Its causes a lot of issues especially socially. Instead of defining and categorising someone by a definite term, we just need to see them for who they are to know how they fit. Categories are just a guide, but what you’re looking at, is it’s own thing.
Well said.
For the record, that 'wrong thinking' is called Platonism.
But then who is to say the category and language used is correctly defined?

At some point, in that stack of photos, there was a homosapien-sapien. At some point, you get to the first photo that makes the cut. Just like when we become a new species, there will be a first, singular, or plural. I mean, if a family has several babies, like twins, it could be more than one first. Maybe you can't pinpoint the exact the first point, but there would come a point if we could look through the photos of time without losing a single second, that we'd get to the first homosapien, as we could with any other species.
With age, we still have stages we can mark when which begins. From toddler-puberty. We have stages so we can see where a person is at in their childhood. We also have ages where we can track a person throughout their lifespan. We have beginnings, middles, and ends for so many things. And yet, we don't for a species? Well, that's not completely true as we can dictate when a species is extinct. At some point, we become another species. If we didn't, well, I wouldn't be here commenting, and there wouldn't be a YT designed by Humans.
There's always a beginning of some kind, even if that beginning is simple or complicated. You can't have a stack of photos all about how people evolved without having a first pic of said species. To do so would be highly illogical.

@@Sednas nah natural selection picks who can reproduce more. That's why I think our spicies will split from them, I hope so.
@@Sednas Natural selection has stopped trust me, you and me live in a world where resources have become abundant and can be mass distributed.
@@Sednas unfortunately not quite, smarter humans are more likely to plan better on reproduction and raising offspring, and is often limited to raising very few offspring and making sure they get the best education and attention from parents, however those that are less educated or smarter is more likely to end up with significantly more children that they might not bother to ensure they are well educated. So unfortunately smart people are expected to have less and less percentage share in the overall human population in the long run.

If a species is defined as a group of all animals that can mate with each other, could you say that some of our ancestors belonged to two species at the same time? Because they could theoretically reproduce with modern humans (if they weren't dead), but also with the species of their parents🤔
Theoretically speaking, every child is a slightly different species than parent A. So even though this child can mate with his parent as well as his own descendants, there will come a time when his great great....... Grandson Bwon't be able to mate with the parent A.
So A and B will be called different species, and then there will be C , D..... P
P and A will be greatly different in all forms.
So species B, C.....O become transitional species. Eg A is theropods, and P is modern birds. So Archaeopteryx, a transition species, will be D or E (eg)
But remember that when evolution occurs, only a part of the animal group evolves . So its possible that D evolves into E' as a separate branch on family tree.
There's something called a "ring species" that's just like this. Animals at the far ends of their range can't mate with each other, but ones in the middle can. And sometimes the far ends overlap each other in space. For example, on the east coast of the US wolves and coyotes can hybridize but on the west coast they never do, and the size difference between them is larger.
No

_"I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up bald, hairless"_
I'm nearly there already :(
_"and our jaws would most likely be quite small and weak because we no longer hunt with them."_
We're descended from a vegan primate ancestor. We can tell that from the shape of our guts, and relative sizes of small to large intestines. We evolved into being omnivores gradually.
_"We'll end up shorter due to lower oxygen supplies"_
Wait, what? Do you know something I don't?
_"and weaker because of our comfortable lifestyle. (I think our cultural choices will dictate what we look like)."_
We don't all have lives so comfortable that we don't go to the gym, or swimming, or walking, etc, and we give rewards to those with outstanding athletic prowess because we find it entertaining to see them compete.
I've often thought about this.
So how do we determine that something is now a new species?
If the group can mate with each other but no other groups.
It's gonna be hard to see a new species in our lifetime, there are some extreme cases where that might had happened, but we humans have a very short recorded history of some short 5000 years, even shorter when we starts to learn about species around us, so likelihood that there is a new species evolving during our lifetime of human history is quite unlikely

Just thinking about the conditions required to make Earth habitable makes me wonder that.
If the planet that collided with us to create the moon didn't hit us with exactly the right velocity at exactly the right angle, we wouldn't exist.
The amount of steps to go from a ball of lava to a planet with 2/3rds of its surface being water, (a requirement for the ozone layer), is nothing short of amazing.
So many things had to line up nearly perfectly for us to exist. I hope we get smarter about how we treat this planet. It's nothing short of a miracle.

The comments on here are worrying. Not only are people demonstrating a basic lack of basic science. But critical thinking skills too.
LordVader1094 If you bothered to read basic scientific entries, perhaps you might learn something. Why should people over the internet act as your teacher? Go search how Viruses adapt and evolve for example. The theory has been tested to death. It's not even a debate, it's like someone asking for evidence about how Earth rotates around the sun. No one who understands the science is going to bother explain it to someone who can't be bothered to learn it!
There's this wonderful building that houses a vast array of knowledge from all parts of science, life, ect. It's called a library. They have a whole section just for books on evolution.
John Maton
Is there evidence that a virus "becomes" something else? No, not in the way you describe it. But the evidence of speciation and evolution abounds in a variety of fields from geology to archeology to cell biology to genetics. Like the video explains evolution is a gradual, ongoing process. there is no way to point at one specific split, you notice it over many generations.
+John Maton Maybe you don't understand scientific method. These things get peer reviewed and ran over by scientists around the world. The assumption itself is without merit.

The magical evolutionism myth has way too many holes in it. The fossil record itself contradicts this video. There is no evolutionary tree but rather a record of what God created & cataclysmic extinctions over time.
Eric Lebs You may call evolution a myth thats your choice, but 99% of the the worlds biologists would disagree with you, as would the majority of educated people.
By making ridiculous statements like the above you're just showing how un-educated and dogmatic you are, I mean what makes you better informed then the most skilled men and women in their fields?
Eric Lebs If it was untrue and not valid, then why is it that without it, the entire field of biology falls apart?
Eric Lebs How does the fossil record contradict this? Please give examples.
Eric Lebs You sure are lost in the fog. You need an uninstall!
I find it crazy how people can believe in a book written by people 2000 years ago. People were so dumb then, they thought the world was flat! Are those the type of people whose book you want to follow?
Crazy man, crazy.
Certain people are also fucking crazy stupid today. You're cherry picking the population, just understand that. To a molecular biochemist, a high schooler studying chemistry is near mentally challenged.
Actually along time ago people from well educated civilizations knew the world was round, but yes, your kinda of right because people believed in blood letting and that was pretty stupid
+AydenHubbell Productions (GamingPro752) This is not about evolution, but some people still believe in blood letting today.
Crazy stupid people at all times ☺
They didn't think the world was flat, the bible clearly states that it's a sphere.
Its funny that philosophers in western europe had already began to accept that the world was a sphere while desert-centric goat herders spawned religions whose tomes dictated the opposite
My guy Dawko getting a big mention. The leader of the evolutionary biology world
When I heard the explanation he gave, I thought it sounded familiar to the magic of reality... turns out it was
And you can prove Adam and Eve were not the first humans ?
No one can. Because they were the first humans. One species "evolving" into another is a myth. This guys' ancestors were all regular human beings just like everyone else.@@user-ki1un4jg2d
"Life is what happens in between the snapshots" That was so inspiring lol
Gianyce Gesualdo woah i was reading comments and while i was reading this he litteraly said it 3:33 that was scary
Dom ME too, as soon as I read it, he said that
*in between snapshots be like* Barbra move to the left no omg Barbra my left ok smile
Also known as, “we have no proof but we will assume this is what happened.”
same
I just don't understand why so many people are against the theory of evolution.
***** you do know that gravity is also just a theory right??
that was completely irreverent and that actual definition of theory is a group of ideas meant to explain a certain topic of science, such as a single or collection of fact event or phenomenon
Because its illogical.
Vlach Please tell us, what is illogical about the theory of evolution?
coming from a 14 year old i wouldn't trust my self to explain the theory of evolution but you can easily educate yourself by reading a book
Is it just me or are RUclips comments are starting to become Twitter comments
Sadly, yes.
yes :(
*Glad that I am constantly evolving!*
This cat will become a big cat
For the Thiests who do not know, A scientific theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena.
I am a Thiest, and I do know... But I hope you let me comment. This presentation is based on a THEORY that came from Charles Darwin. It claims to be based on Fossil records, but that is still lacking evidence since the "Missing Link" is still undiscovered.
Science deserves its credit, science teaches us much. All true scientific discoveries come through Inspiration from God. Scientists are sometimes inspired. Long before god sent Charles Darwin to an earthly family, he had told his prophets about the creation of the world. One of his prophets was The First Man. Adam. I'm happy knowing that I don't have primate, or fish ancestry.
Matthew Owens Every time you find a new fossil of a previously unknown species, that doesn't fill in a gap--it creates two new gaps. Thus, using the phrase "missing link" is a theist's lack of understanding of evolution.
You all-capped "theory," leading me to believe that you still do not understand the difference between a common theory and a scientific theory. A scientific theory has no evidence against it--none. Theists claim that evolution cannot be, yet they give no evidence against it. They provide no scientific publications that contradict it. Why? Because there are no scientific publications against it. Without evolution, biology does not make sense.
Tyler Meister I'm not going to do the research for you, but I'm just going to let you know right now that there are many things that contradict the theory of human evolution. If you care enough then you'll find out :)
brownkid72 I have a bachelor's in biology and have found no such contradiction. Please enlighten me.

No evidence human was from monkey, if it was, then where's the monkey come from? of course fish, and where's the fish made of? clay
WolFrost Arfis yes 1000year old quaran explain everything, 1billion year old fossils are fake..
Yeah, evolution is a slow process that takes numerous generations to have noticed changes, so therefore you wouldn't see one species give birth to another. Now, if only we could get creationists to understand this.
but...but...Crocoduck! XD
They don't want to.
robzrob I know, I was being facetious. LOL
Actually, there's nothing inherent to evolution saying it has to be slow. It's only when applied to life, and more specifically, the lives of beings that take a long time to reproduce and/or die that it looks slow.
Short-lived, fast-reproducing organisms such as bacteria or even insects, change faster through evolution because of that. In fact, mosquitoes evolve fast enough that we can see the difference every month -- they become resistant to "old" pesticides.
Julio Felipe Angelini The video was a reference to humans. I was talking human evolution. Yes, lab studies have shown fruit flies that have evolved new traits in a fast rate that can be witness. As I said though; I was commenting on human evolution.
So how did the first species occur?
A biogenesis is being worked on. It seems that in the right conditions non organic elements can be brought together to form amino acids

Religion cant compare to the magnitude of knowledge science has taught us
you can't compare it because there are two separate things, but you definitely can acknowledge how they intertwine
Abigail April I watched that debate and Ham just made a fool of himself. I'm guessing by your statement that you don't actually know what the scientific method is nor how it applies.
Abigail April Even if Nye "lost" the debate it would not matter. Bill Nye does not speak for the entire scientific community. Just like Hamm does not speak for every Christian. Basically Hamm's thesis was the scientific method does not work, but the fact that I am using a computer right now kinda disproves that.
Abigail April Even according to many Christians Nye mopped the floor with Ham. When Pat Robertson tells you to stop being an imbecile, you know you are way out of the mainstream.
Tax V. You clearly don't understand the big bang theory or abiogenesis. Nowhere in the big bang theory does it say the universe came from nothing. It's an explanation, based on observation, that all of the matter and energy in the known universe was, at the dawn of spacetime, a singularity. Sorry, but this isn't nothing, it's literally everything, including spacetime. You're asking to observe all of the matter, energy, and spacetime to be compressed into a singularity and then expand. Which is inherently impossible, since you, the observer, would be part of the universe and would have to be in the singularity; it's a paradox.
Abiogenesis, on the other hand, starts with materials that already exist and uses natural processes to thus far create protolife.
This comment section is just disturbing

To deny evolution is to deny reality.
Creationists are not to be taken seriously in anyway and laughter should accompany their every step!

>I think i'm right so ill laugh at everyone who thinks differently!11!!1
that's basically your thoughts ;)
COolpuP12345
No I'll accept any credible source of evidence and that's the end of creationism!
Let's not pretend it's some how equal, creationists are on the same level as people who believed that the moon is made from cheese!
Those are my thought's
believe what you want, but there will still be people, like me, who will have faith in topics like these
COolpuP12345
No I believe only in thing's with sufficient evidence to do so!
The privileged position that religion found itself in, where by people's religious idea's were never called into question are thankfully over!
I agree that there always be people who hold ridiculous ideas, I don't agree that they will be your's.
Reality exists regardless of what you believe, how many believe or how strong that belief is.
Humanity has reached a pivotal point and the biggest questions are still to be answered, your denial of reality will leave you marginalised and unheard in these wonderful times to come.
You can not graft new ideas onto a closed mind!
well one comment from some extreme atheist will not change everyone's mind even though im religious
I have my thoughts and beliefs, it will not be over by one person comment on a online place with cat videos
religion also explains some unsolved things about the big bang
Plus if one closed his mind about a thing that doesn't matter, it can find new things to do and learn other than debating on a place with cat videos (which i am here for)
Brilliant, I love your videos. They are so well produced; and presented with humor and great articulation I could imagine you being an outstanding talk show host:)
This What if and Crash Course
ayo grandpa lookin mighty fine on 0:20
I refuse to believe this and go on with my day, without knowing that I am related to a fish.
This was amazing! I loved the way the video flowed. Really gave me a new meaning to a species and showed evolution is just a continuum and we only see a small slice at every point.
This video has the most straightforward explanation of evolution that I’ve ever seen
There is a better one on crash course
I'm still confused. The first human would be the first of a Homosapien species. You say you can't go back to my family tree and point out exactly where one stops being human and the next one starts, but think about it. If we could pull up the DNA of all my grandparents, I would be able to breed fertile offspring with some of them, making them the same species. Eventually, there would reach a point where my DNA is no longer compatible with a grandparent, in the same way, making them a different species, right? So there would be a first human, at least in my family tree.
@GengerHumans We are created by aliens?
Is anybody elsw watching this after the Bluey episode "takeout" where Bingo asks "...who had the first baby?"
Doctor: it's a boy/girl
3015 doctors be like:
*Doctor: it's a human!*
Are what are the doctors ??
Apes or God ??😂
this video is a little bit fishy. lol.
lol
👍
So in the chicken and the egg scenario..... neither came first... they both evolved over millions of years. =D
+AwesomeVindicator well the egg came first, as one of the earlier forms of reproduction.
***** I guess.... if you mean eggs in general.
bringerofrage obviously your ability to double post a comment came first.
+AwesomeVindicator I have to agree on this one. :-)
yes the egg, as in fish eggs and then develop to something else....
maybe if my fish ancestor hadn't reproduced how many living things wouldn't exist on earth, who knows
Fish doesn't exist actually.
Neither Estonia.
Neither you.
You are completely delusional and non-existent.
Where are we getting these photos from
they are representing every generation on the family tree
we get the idea how some of those generations looked like by examining the fossil record and understanding how evolution works and knowing anatomy.
Lmao everyone needs to calm down with this religion stuff you will believe what you want to believe. Can people freely have opinions without getting criticized nowadays?
AngelTheNeko Preach!
Ngan Khong
then open yout eyes
Nowadays?it's been like this all history
I believe that Adam and Eve weren’t the first humans, but just the first ones with souls like us.
Our mitochondrial DNA is passed down only from our maternal ancestors, by looking at humans that have the same maternal ancestor (ie a first cousin), and seeing the number of mutations that have occurred over that single generation, you can establish when the generational lines of every human on earth meet. AND THERE IS A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL FROM WHICH WE ARE ALL DERIVED, a kind of evolutionary 'Eve', a human. As this is our common ancestor, you could argue that she is the first of our lineage - the first human.
Robert Dewar Mitochondrial Eve is not necessarily (and likely wasn't) the first human. She's just the one who is our most recent ancestor. There were other Homo sapiens alive at the same time as her whose lineages died off.
that makes sense, thanks
Denis Belyasov And your comment is relevant, why?
So what were her parents?
Robert Dewar There hasn't really been anyone like that. At least not a human one since the humans that emegrated from Africa first later interbred with neanderthals and created a new kind of humans--the Indo-Europeans, and they later interbred with some other variation of people in Asia. To say it in plain English--you would have to go back to a time before modern humans to reach this point and it is likely that it never occured. If there would have only been two people alive they most certainly would have gotten a pretty load of genetic diseases. If they managed to still survive it would still have had happened a long time ago. If they succeeded it was likely because of other people whose lineages died off.
It was a little funy to me because he said my great great grandfather was a fish
It a fact
