The Most Destructive Cartoon in the History of Science
It’s a common misconception that the famous fish coming onto land (Tiktaalik Roseae) was the immediate ancestor of all terrestrial vertebrates, but that’s wrong! Here, I explain how evolution works in this scenario and why we most likely this fish is not specifically our immediate ancestor.

WHO AM I?
Hi! I’m Dan. I have an Honours B.Sc in Biology and Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour (that’s not four different majors it’s two) with a focused interest on evolution and behaviour. I have a lot of thoughts and need creative outlets at all times, so making these videos is a great way to cope with the struggle of indefinite existence. I plan to stick around on UA-cam for a while, so I hope to see you around for years to come :)

Debunking Diary of a CEO's "Number 1 Neuroscientist"
Переглядів 2,1 тис.2 місяці тому
The most-watched episode of The Diary of A CEO is filled with misinformation from Dr. Tara Swart, and I decided to complain about that. She covers nonsensical claims about stress, ancient human behaviours, “alpha females” and more. If I got any of my research wrong here, feel free to let me know and I’ll investigate it further.

depression is not an illness.
Переглядів 30 тис.3 місяці тому
Just to be extra clear I’m talking about depression, not Depression™ (Depressive Disorders). Depression exists as an adaptive trait that helped our ancestors survive, so I made a video explaining that. This was a tricky video to make and I feel a lot of small wording choices may sound off-putting, but hopefully the big picture makes sense and doesn’t offend anyone. Okay bye. [CLOSED CAPTIONS AR...

Matriphagy: When Animals Eat Their Parents
Переглядів 7 тис.7 місяців тому
Matriphagy is the process of offspring eating their own mother. It has shown to be an adaptive behaviour that has evolved in several animals, though is clearly understudied. In this video, I talk about why that might be, and how the principles behind Matriphagy can inform other (less-extreme) forms of parental care. Thanks for watching!

The Paradox of Horror

So let me explain them to you in this video! Here’s why we want to be afraid: the purposes of fear, and how horror exploits them to make you enjoy it. Happy Halloween!

Amazing work sir thank you 🫡
Trust me, nobody “thinks about the children” when they’re actually around them.
fish
nah titalik let the way four better lims and other animals after him that is my opinion
Backing you all the way man. I’m bout your same age and I’ve done the same things. Dream of starting a UA-cam channel and trying and failing many times. I’m with you, never give up. I’m trying again when I get to college next week. I’ll try my best too. Believe me when I say you have true potential. I’ve seen hundreds of channels, and I know the starting of a good one. You have what it takes.
Sick vid bro
Facial recognition has proven Asians all look alike
so i was hoping for a replacement, a better example, and did not get one....sure there are many examples of fish that have land adaptations but an explanation of why they are better suited to be the candidate we point to for our ancestry was absent......feels like this was just a dunk on tiktaalik
Apes are monkeys though... Like old world monkeys.
Love it when Gallus Gallus Gallus
You look like a gorilla danin blue
There is this effect that you talked about which is " The other group" effect but still Chinese look alike the most among other asians. My reasoning behind this is if the other group effect is so strong, why wont we feel the same for all other races in the world?
