@@kayzeaza How common it is depends on the tree species, amount of wind in the area, etc. From Wikipedia's "Inosculation" article (the technical term for the phenomenon, apparently): _It is most common for branches of two trees of the same species to grow together, though inosculation may be noted across related species. The branches first grow separately in proximity to each other until they touch. At this point, the bark on the touching surfaces is gradually abraded away as the trees move in the wind. Once the cambium of two trees touches, they sometimes self-graft and grow together as they expand in diameter._ There's also a list of species they the article says inosculation is more common in due to their thin bark. Take the info with a grain of salt, though, as that article isn't as well-cited as it should be. The first image that came to mind for me is the banyan tree, but what I was picturing isn't inosculation. Due to the assumptions our brains make based on normal tree morphology, it looks like the banyans' weird "aerial roots" are growing up from the bottom and often merging/fusing, but they're actually growing from the top down and branching.

I am going to post this here as well in the hope that someone here might answer my questions. Ok. So I understand her "braided bush" analogy. But her assertian that "missing link" is a wrong way to see evolution still seems seriously wrong to me. First off, using her graph at 9:20, how is Homo-Rhodesius not a link between Homo-Maratanius and Homo-Sapiens? And on that same graph I notice a narrower neck between the areas shaded Rhodesius and Sapien. A8nd when I googled Homo-Rhodesius the article said there was a gap in the fossil record between the two. So secondly, how is that gap not a missing link? What is the difference between a gap and a missing link? And why ought archeologists stop looking for a fossil of an individual in that gap? Anyway, here is the article: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_rhodesiensis

As would everyone else. The first discovery of Homo floresiensis was in Liang Bua cave on the island of Flores in the Indonesian archipelago. I think there were seven diminutive skeletons initially unearthed, only one of them having a skull and that having very small cranial capacity. A lot of hypotheses were proposed, one that the skull was due to micro cephaly, another that they were dwarf versions of Homo erectus. Both hypotheses seem to have been put to rest. In some ways their anatomy is like that of earlier hominins. Even older fossils of this species has been found at another location on the island, along with tools. Apparently no complete skeletons there, but that older population was even smaller in size than the Liang Bua specimens. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/03/hobbit-humans-story-gets-twist-from-thousands-of-rat-bones/ phys.org/news/2017-04-indonesian-hobbits-revealed.html Even more intriguing is that still another hominin species, Homo luzonenesis has been discovered on that Philippine island. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/04/new-species-ancient-human-discovered-luzon-philippines-homo-luzonensis/ How these species got to islands that were never connected to the mainland is a big mystery. To my knowledge, it has not even been determined if Homo erectus ever mastered ocean travel. A lot of questions are yet to be answered. It is frustrating, but we must wait for further discoveries.

It is not unreasonable to assume lower water levels during ice ages, but this map shows that they were never connected. Flores does not show on this (first) map showing land areas exposed at those times, but it was between Lombok and Timor, west of the Wallace line (named for Alfred Russel Wallace, who independently arrived at the same conclusion as Charles Darwin regarding evolution). Much of what is now Indonesia was part of mainland Asia called Sundaland. At that time Australia and New Guinea were one landmass called Sahul. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Map_of_Sunda_and_Sahul.png pbs.twimg.com/media/DYYCRSYWkAAHjED?format=jpg&name=small upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Lesser_Sunda_Islands_en.png/1280px-Lesser_Sunda_Islands_en.png Do a search on Flores Island and you will see it has interesting topography which would make exploration difficult. It has a surprisingly large population (about 2 million) and largely Roman Catholic (due to Portuguese colonization). While never part of mainland Asia, it was quite likely connected at times to other parts of the Sunda Islands group, making them candidates for possible H. floresiensis occupation. From what I have been able to determine, Mindanao was also never connected to the mainland.

Someone else already explained how rats could cross. I saw some video about when water levels were lower , elephants could see and smell some island across the water. One or two swam there and started a separate polulation on that island, then some more came over. Then the water rose and t island became very isolated. So that when people finally got there, they were wondering how the elephants got there. I think they had been dead on t mainland there for some time. People could have done a similar thing. An ancient tribe, too primitive to navigate the ocean could have floated on a log to an island they could see. Also, Idk if it matters , but were those people on Luzon or Mindanao?

@@bbbabrock I believe that the latest modeling indicates that while the large western Philippine island of Palawan was connected to Borneo (and thus part of Sundaland) Luzon and most of the rest of the Philippines were never connected.

For all the thousands of years that religion controlled the mind of man, it benefited humanity not one whit. Both Archaeology and recorded history tell us that, during that time, few children lived to see their 5th birthday.. Religion could offer solace, nothing more. "Gods will" it was called. In the space of a mere 400 years, science has enlightened us and put an end to much human suffering. In just the last one hundred years alone, it has doubled the average human life expectancy. Religion makes empty promises, science delivers.

Brilliant explanation of the "missing link" thinking, thanks.

Yet another fascinating, educational video~ Much appreciated!

Just when I thought you've covered it all, you upload this fascinating video. Thank you :)

Perhaps if our ancestors hadn't interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans, we wouldn't have made it as far as we have.

If you are following the current theories (somewhat supported) the other human lines that inbred with homo sapiens gave survival traits that helped homo sapiens in the new environments.

tatum ergo Wow, there’s no dilemma with miscegenation. Firstly, genetic diversity is generally always a net positive. Do you have a source about these ‘genetic risks’? Secondly, most ideas of race are based on culture and appearance but don’t actually align with differences in genetics. Differences in genetic lineage in humans is not visually apparent. Race is not a meaningful distinction in terms of genetics.

Thank you for the well researched and presented material. The way these videos are presented is changing how we prepare training videos in the corporate world. Great work.

I researched Piltdown Man over 20 years ago and still learned much from this upload. My research inspired me to do performance poetry calling myself, Piltdown Man. Mocking both poetry and the gullibility of humankind. I delivered stream of consciousness word play and sold poems for "a dime a dozen, custom buttons for a dollar. I made such a splash that a woman half my age fell in love with me for awhile. I clicked, liked, and subscribed.

I seriously love you guys. The drive to battle ignorance never ends because what counts as ignorance is always changing. You guys help all us amatuers stay closer to the bleeding edge of what is known-and THAT deeply meaningful work will also never end. Thank you.

I still don't get it. There should be evidence of something ape-human like. For example, sure hominids interbred later on, but when were they one species? When's the point at which sentience evolved, then spread to different hominids who then interbred. This question is unanswered and the lady makes it like it was

I don't know that it's strictly natural history, but I'd love to see a video on the development/evolution of art throughout our early history. When was the earliest evidence of different "styles" of art, or individuality? Are there early examples that are believed to be from apprentices or some kind of practice? Different mediums - the first paintings, the first sculptures, etc.

It's a shame you didn't mention that they found a fossilised cricket bat along with the remains of Piltdown Man. Not only was the first human from England but he played Cricket as well.

I love the explanation. cleared the dirt left in my thinking of evolution. now then I got the proper explanation to counteract what the people with no knowledge of evolution ask "if humans evolved from monkeys then why are there monkeys" and "where is the species that is in between a human and an ape".

In 1980, in Intro to Physical Anthro, I wrote a paper that included a chart showing Neanderthal branching off and rejoining the Hominin lineage. I got a C. Now they call it the Braided Stream model. *post edited to correct date to 1980.

Homo sapiens need to evolve for ages before the 'moron gene' is removed

Believe me, I absolutely love these videos and appreciate all the work put into them, and I know we know close to nothing about the Denisovans, but I feel that we've got to have a better representation than the vaguely humanoid sketch at 9:04. What DO we know or what are we actually able to surmise about their physiology?

Braided evolution makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the show and it goes to show you that you learn something new every day.

Do y'all ever cover Waterside Ape theories? I know they're not accepted by mainstream paleoanthropology, but that's what got me interested in this whole topic in the first place when I was a kid so it has a special place in my nerdy lil heart lol

Missing links don’t exist since every animal is a link.

This was a great video, thank you!

Maybe the missing link was the friends we made along the way

If you can't find the Hero of Hyrule, you have a Missing Link situation.

missing link < transitional fossils

Please discuss Darwinius and lemur evolution in Africa, including the giant subfossil lemurs from Madagascar. Darwinius would be a great follow-up to this one. Darwinius was the latest attempt at promoting a so-called "missing link" as recently as 2008. And sadly, it garnered lots of international attention, even from primatologists. Even the BBC made a documentary hyping it with David Attenborough before the claims were debunked.

Thank you for this video! I definitely never learned that in school and it clears a whole lot of weirdness up. I'm also wondering how much teachers can really get into how it works when there's so much modern pressure to see evolution and contradictory to religious teachings ( I went to Catholic School).

Braided Stream seems like such an obvious concept, I can't believe I've never thought of evolution this way before. I've still been thinking terms of phylogeny.

I believe there is a mistake in the script around 2:28: "In the early 19th Century, evolution was thought to be linear." There would have been no general consensus about what the word "evolution" meant in the early nineteenth century.

B5429671 XJ speciation by evolutionary mechanism is a "fact" - in fact it is many many MANY different facts. But the modeling is much broader. It doesn't just describe what is but also many other possibilities of what might be.

When I went to school we learned about the linear evolution. This is what science is all about, finding out more about man and changing and bettering its theories. Evolution remains one of the most wonderful and complex theories. All those different ancestors and cousins, the world must have been a lot more interesting when they walked together.

Man the idea of different variations of hominids would be so interesting to see. We'll never know exactly what they looked like, but it's so fascinating.

PILTDOOWN contributed to the devlopment of the current set of rules among scientists. The "experts" who built Piltdown man were supposedly "above reproach", so no one dared to question their claims. NOW, unless a discovery is published, with all relevant data and processes, it is NOT ACKNOWLEDGED! And if it is not reproducable by independent scientists, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! So Piltdown did provide a service...of sorts. (PS: The 'bad idea' also included the very British assumption that the first "truly civilised" man would, naturally come from the most civilised nation: ENGLAND!!!)

Another superb video. It is always a pleasure.

This is interesting and adds a fantastic amount of depth to the way things evolve. Surely this means other species had also evolved in the same or similar braided streams which may help piece together some other missing parts to evolutionary lines if they haven't already.
