    Oceanic life has been around far more longer then land life. So I feel that is why its more unique. Simply because evolution has been occuring in the oceaan far more longer then land. Not to mention land life has been in more recent extinctions. Humans I feel are still more advanced considering we havevent been on the planet for long yet we evolved so quickly within a small period of time. But oceanic life is far more diverse because life has had more time to evolve. We have to remember that human brain cells are still critical on how humanity will evolve. I feel like oceanic life cells evolved to survive, that will be the critical piece for human brain cells. To create the tools to survive.

    I think there's an overlooked aspect of the regression -- the polyp becomes multiple adults. This isn't one adult reverting to childhood and growing up again to refresh itself. This is an adult reproducing in a way that consumes itself. In an organism, over any given period of time, each cell has a chance of malfunctioning. Over time, these malfunctions accumulate until they threaten the life of the overall organism. In reproduction, a small number of cells are used to start a new organism. Fewer cells, fewer chances for malfunctions, lower chance of enough malfunctions accumulating to prevent the offspring from reaching maturity. If you sample enough conceptions that the number of starting cells is equal in number to the cells of an adult, you will be able to witness the chance malfunctions in the form of birth defects and nonviable larvae/fetuses/etc. But plenty of offspring did not experience those malfunctions, allowing the species to continue. In this regression-based reproduction, there may be a far greater number of old cells which will contribute to each new organism, meaning more defunct cells to start with and thus a reduced viability of each offspring. I'm interested to see if research has been done regarding that.

    It doesn't just roll back into a 'baby', it essentially turns back into a fetus. It's hard to consider this "immortality", it's arguably the same organism but once the babies spawn from the polyp it's certainly not the same individual. In a human, a process that could take us back that far would wipe clean all of the memories and scars that define a person's identity. You, as an individual human person, would slowly die as your brain shrunk and congealed into a mass of cells with no capacity for cognition. The resulting person(s) would essentially be a clone of the original. As she pointed out, that's not the purpose of the research, I'm just quibbling about how these creatures are commonly referred to as immortal. The research into telomeres could result in some kind of Lazarus treatment, but as pointed out in the video, in humans this would likely not result in us de-aging to such an extent. Most likely it would only "stop the clock" at our current age, but it could also potentially allow us to (very slowly) reverse the negative effects of aging to have the bone, neuron, and muscle resilience of a 30 year old.

    Yeah, it could be something like: if your DNA is taken and a clone baby is created who looks just like you, then it wouldn't mean that it's you, in fact far from it, it will have different personality and will act differently than you... "You" isn't just your body, it also includes your feelings and consciousness which can't be simply added to your clone.

    @@verytiredhonestly Jellies definitely bring up the question of where the boundaries of cognition, consciousness, and individuality are. They don't have brains, but they do have a complex, distributed nervous system capable of forming engrams. It can't be known whether these engrams are purely for motor memory, or they are capable of some level of experiential memory that could imply base level consciousness. There's more going on than flora that reflexively seek light, water, or rich soil. But less going on than more neurologically complex fauna capable of recognizing relatives and forming social bonds as individuals.

    6:21 Senescence is not cell death. On the contrary. It is living cells deteriorating in function and ceasing of cell division. They're rather accurately called "zombie cells" because they are indeed still active, just dysfunctional. They're still however releasing proinflammatory mediator chemicals, etc. (The so-called SASP, senescence-associated secretory phenotype).

    Are you sure this is the case with avocados? While true for specific varieties that are reproduced through grafting, avocados produce genetically unique edible varieties from seed unlike some other fruits. There’s wild avocados everywhere where I live and they are all a little different. Every once and a while you can get a unique variety from seed that has desirable qualities and can then be grafted to other rootstocks. I seem to remember that the banana that we know and love was the result of a single genetic mutation though and we cultivate those as clones of the original varieties. For this reason many banana varieties are seriously at risk from the spread of diseases from which they cannot develop resistance to since they are all clones

    3:44 this is the generalized life cycle for scyphozoan jellies ("true jellyfish"), not for the hydrozoans, which Turritopsis belongs to. Turritopsis medusae develop as buds on the stalks of the polyp colony, and then detach as young medusae which resemble smaller versions of the mature medusae. They don't strobilate, i.e., divide via transverse divisions along the stalk of the polyp like is shown here, and they do not have an ephyra-like appearance as young medusae-the term "ephyra" is only used to describe young scyphozoan medusae.
