How animals and plants are evolving in cities | Menno Schilthuizen

Visit TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
In cities, evolution occurs constantly, as countless plants, animals and insects adapt to human-made habitats in spectacular ways. Evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen calls on peculiar beings such as fast food-loving mice and self-cooling snails to illustrate the ever-transforming wonders of urban wildlife -- and explains how you can observe this phenomenon in real-time, thanks to a global network of enthusiastic citizen scientists.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

Experiments using the fastest breeding life forms going on now for well iver 80 years still show no.evolition....at all..true its a short time but equivalent to over 3 million years of all other life.forms

    The Cambrian explosion did not happen fast at all. It lasted for 25 millon years and we have found soft bodied animals that are their ancestors, and we've also found their descendents. Just because they started having hard shells that were preserved better does not mean that a god said hocus pocus and put them there.

    ​@@nedrapaul4135 Of course humans destroy the habitats of other creatures, there's no sense denying that. We have yet to find a way to build our own habitats without damaging the ecosystems we come into contact with. As for your claims that there are creatures we could survive without, and that there are "some essential creatures" but that their relevance is somehow diminished by technological progress, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any verifiable evidence to support them. We've never existed in a world without mosquitoes or beetles, we have no idea what ecological imbalances the lack of these creatures would cause, or whether we could offset those imbalances through technology alone. We're still a long way from off-world colonies, the fact that we're trying to build them doesn't mean we can at this point, or that we'd be able to sustain them without other forms of life.

    Citizen science is the voluntary involvement of the public in scientific research. Citizen scientists can help design experiments, collect data, analyze results, and solve problems. Their work helps professional scientists and resource managers understand parks. Their data help solve real problems and answer real questions. In a nutshell, citizen science is science. Citizenship in ancient Rome (Latin: civitas) was a privileged political and legal status afforded to free individuals with respect to laws, property, and governance.. A male Roman citizen enjoyed a wide range of privileges and protections defined in detail by the Roman state. A citizen could, under certain exceptional circumstances, be deprived of his citizenship. Citizenship in the Early Republic. After the collapse of the old monarchy and the foundation of the Republic, the control of Roman government was restricted to a handful of great families - the patricians, a word derived from patres or 'fathers'. The remaining residents/citizens were called plebians, representing the poor as well as many of the city's wealthy. Source: Google search.

I think it may depend on the scope through which the "manipulation" is being observed. On a macroscopic scale, as in this video, it seems evolution can be purposefully manipulated. However, since evolution is the result of random DNA mutations, at it's core, it can't be manipulated. Thoughts?

    The question is: would that trapped mouse ever evolve to become other species as being promoted by the evolutionists? The answer is we don't know.

    Genetic change in populations is the definition of evolution. So yeah, it is evolution.

    I’m slightly annoyed with the constant inaccurate phrasing. Living beings do not evolve TO MEET a living condition. Animals with certain mutations that happen to suit their environment survive and reproduce better, so pass on these genes. Their genes didn’t “decide” to adapt to meet their environment. It’s just a small thing but it really is frustrating that a biologist is not more accurate in the wording.

    Adapting implies behavioural, while evolution implies genetic. Both are closely linked but mean different things.

    Adaption is included in evolution, it's practically the same thing. And their DNA has been changed, so yes, they evolved! Evolution is ANY change in a population over time.

    In today's politically correct world, they say we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. No room for jokes. But it is absolutely correct to ruin our ecosystem? That's screwed up. We can't change what has happened but we can prevent the future damage. One change at a time. Like this so everyone can see it.
