    Does this mean mutation caused giraffe's neck to become longer?

    • @LucaDeflorian222

      Yes. Random DNA mutations and DNA recombination make offspring look slightly different from their parents (longer necks, longer legs, longer tongues).

      @@LucaDeflorian222 How did RANDOM, which is pure chance, analyze the problem, then engineer the process, then mechanize it, let alone girraffes survive that "long long time" till it mutated"? Mutations do damage, not improvements, let alone know what needs to be mutated?

      @@wpkepkw3330 I'm not telling you we were designed or were not and whether or not you believe in God is up to you. But as far as wings, that's actually an interesting question. For one thing it happens all the time in engineering people say " why this and why that" and the engineer who did it ha their reasons that make sense when explained, but a for wings, consider: Your shoulder blades would need redesigning to accommodate a bone structure that would have musculature to manage wings making it impossible to function in reality. Your body does not have the balance to maintain flight, and with wings comes the need to navigate direction meaning your legs and ankles would need altered and you would need a tail. Sitting would be impossible, walking difficult and wings big enough to carry human weight would have to be huge. Consider how much of a percentage of a bird's body is wing size, and the angle of the bird, bent forward. Humans don't need wings, they have legs. We have arms and hands also and humans seem to do fine in their environment till they do something idiotic like starting to smoke cigarettes then bitch because they get cancer. I actually realized all that when writing a fantasy novel in which an immortal being had wings.

    I wonder what the giraffes ate while waiting for the necks to grow...

    • @nicolaparillon2687

      They didn't wait you moron - this happened over generations, not to individuals. Longer necked giraffes (natural variation btw individuals) survived and gave birth to other longer-necked ones, which could then also survive. Just as your intellectually challenged parents gave birth to you.....

    • @miguelfalcao
      @miguelfalcao 7 лет назад +4

      Yeah, sure. Who is intellectually challenged, Kay? Take a look in what YOU believe...
      "The giraffe used to look just like other grazing animals in Africa. But while the other animals were content to eat the grasses growing in the field and the leaves on the lower branches, the giraffe felt that the "survival of his fittest" depended on reaching up and plucking leaves from still higher branches. This went on for a time, as he and his brothers and sisters kept reaching ever higher. Only those that reached the highest branches of leaves survived.
      All the other giraffes in the meadow died from starvation. So only the longest-necked giraffes had enough food to eat while all their brother and sister giraffes died from lack of food (all because they were too proud to bend down and eat the lush vegetation that all the other short-necked animals were eating). Sad story; don’t you think? But that is the story of how the giraffe grew its long neck.
      Picture the tragic tale: Dead giraffes lying about in the grass while the short-necked grazers, such as the antelope and gazelle, walked by them, having plenty to eat. So there is a lesson for us: Do not be too proud to bend your neck down and eat. Oh, you say, but their necks were by that time too long to bend down to eat grass! Not so; every giraffe has to bend its neck down to get water to drink. *Darwin’s giraffes died of starvation, not thirst.
      So that is how the giraffe acquired its long neck, according to the pioneer thinkers of a century ago, the men who gave us our basic evolutionary theories."

      And you still don't understand it; evolution occurs most at bottlenecks: when all the low growing vegetation is eaten or in short supply due to drought, overgrazing by all those short-necked animals only those who can access other resources will survive - eg higher up leaves not within the reach of most. So the parents of the neck generation have longer necks and their offspring inherit long neck genes etc - see? The trait becomes fixed in the population because all the short- necked individuals died out. Do you know anything about genetics, inheritance, ecology at all? Only your idea of evolution sounds more like Lamarckism to me.... there are lots of good papers/ books out there to explain this in much more detail... from todays thinkers not those who rely on superstition and the supernatural for their world-view.

      No it's not! It's survival of the fittest! Darwinism! The longer neck (natural variation - are you identical to any of your friends?) pre-exists the lack of low growing vegetation but possession of it means the organism is better adapted to survive the changes in the environment. It didn't grow its neck in response to the environmental change!

    Could another reason for the giraffe's long neck also be because then predators can't really go for the kill easier since their necks are high up there?

  • @billm5555
    @billm5555 6 лет назад +2

    The simplicity of this assumption drives me crazy.Why didn't all of the other animals develop long necks in order to compete with the giraffe? This arena of evolutionary "science" always assumes that a creature's want or need leads to not only structural change but to genetic change as well. How can that make sense to anyone with an open mind? It is much more likely that Giraffe's eat those leaves because they have long necks than they are the only ones to develop long necks because they really really really wanted those leaves. Of course the X-factor in this equation is time. When something seems impossible or foolish you can always make it seem more possible by stating that it took a very long time. And in the case of evolutionary changes that time is measured in tens or even hundreds of millions of years. How can we argue with that? They must be right. After all it was a very long time.

      Ya, I was thinking this same thing. Why wouldn’t other animals develop longer necks, and how could the mere desire for higher leaves trigger the development of a longer neck in later generations?? And again, why only exclusively for the giraffe?
