@@massivemagoo actually I have no idea where you get 50 years max?? That's around the average life expectancy for African grey parrots but certainly not the max, the oldest lived to be 72 but my best friend had one as a kid that belonged to her grandfather before he was too old to take care of it and it lived to be 62. Cockatoos average life expectancy is between 40 to 70 years, and macaws while the average love expectancy is 60 the oldest lived to be 114 years, and there are dozens of examples of parrots living to be 100 or just under it, but certainly not a max of 50. Even smaller birds like cockatiels and conures commonly live to be 20 and 15 years old. While the oldest of both species was around 30. This is why these birds are such a huge investment, even the smaller ones live a very long time and the bigger ones are pretty much a companion for life. So idk where I got 80-100 as an average, but 80-100 isn't UNCOMMON for some species, with 70 being pretty common for most of them. Even human beings in America have a life expectancy of only 72 years. So if you intend to get one of these birds, expect it to live it's entire life with you, because 50 years is certainly not a max for them.

You missed an extremely important fact, and got another one completely backwards. Experiments on a fly with an life expectancy of 24 hours pushed that to 72 hours simply by delaying the point of reproduction. It was hypothesized that the individual is useless to nature once reproduction has been carried out. In the case of the Fly, they are programmed to die shortly after reproduction, but when this is consistently delayed the epigenetic markers pushed that out to ensure that the next generation is able to survive long enough to reproduce. In this way, the mouse doesn't reproduce fast because it has a short life span - it has a short life span because it reproduces fast. Nature has selected for fast reproducing mice because those who wait have a higher likelihood of being eaten. While this may sound like a case of fast reproduction in response to early death, keep in mind that we are talking about natural death - aging - being influenced by being killed via outside forces. Similar trends are observable in recorded human history. In eras and locations where war and famine had a higher tendency to kill people at a young age, reproduction occurred even younger, which in turn sped up the rate of sexual maturity. It is even biologically possible for a human of just a few years old to give birth to a health baby, as has actually happened. Hypothetically speaking, if some selective pressure pushed for that, humans could rapidly change to have the lifespan of mice. Of course, with modern humans, the push for education has resulted in cultural delays on reproduction with the age of sexual consent being pushed up to a higher age faster than nature can keep up. This has resulted in a teen pregnancy statistic - something humans have never even cared about before - which is still on average higher than the age humans used to reproduce on average. There are still outliers though, like the 12 year old girl who has a baby who herself was born when her mother was 12 making the youngest grandmother in the UK, but as a whole, despite the biological push to reproduce at a younger age than culture allows, humans are consciously choosing to wait, with an even larger population waiting until their 30's and 40's to have children than ever before. All of this tells us that the gradually increasing lifespan has more to do with epigenetics than modern medical science. Not that modern medical science isn't also playing a role, but it's actually a long term negative. Or rather it will be until human gene therapy can tackle the resulting issues. You see, many humans have genetic defects that are easier to pass on when modern medical science helps them to live to the point of sexual maturity. Most people think of the age related conditions, but I argue that's a smaller issue since it's connected to aging - not age. As the rate of human aging adjusts these conditions should, at least in principle, change the age at which they appear. After so many generations of epigenetic stability, the process eventually becomes hard coded. People think of random mutation when they think of evolution, but that's rarely the cast. Most mutations tend to be harmful. Hard coding of an epigenetic change happens because the epigenome changes what genes are being coded and so when a mutation happens in a non coded region it being impossible to change back without another mutation. A good example of this is the teeth of a chicken, who still have the genes for sharp teeth, but can no longer escape from the egg when an epigenetic change otherwise results in the formation of teeth since another important gene is broken. A mutation can bring it back, but only if the mutation coincides with the epigenetic change. To those who doubt how important the epigenome is to evolution, consider this: The placenta is viral. Or rather, the ancestor of all mammals was infected with a retrovirus at the point of conception which caused the virus to spread evenly to all cells (the only way to pass a virus on reproductively as part of the species genome) and the epigenome later on figured out how to turn the virus genes on and off at precise times to create the placenta. In fact, a fair chunk of human DNA is viral in origin, and all of which controlled epigenetically. You simply cannot form a factual basis for explaining life without looking at this system. It's the real time adaptation level that really enables species to adapt to their environment.

Hi TED-Ed! I've always wondered, why do smaller breeds of dog generally live MUCH longer than the larger breeds? For example, some small terrier & toy breeds can live into their mid to late teens; but Great Danes are lucky if they make it to just 10. Is it because we humans have messed around with trying to breed-in certain physical traits, sometimes resulting in breeding close relatives together, thus causing major inherited conditions & diseases that limit their lifespans? Cheers for any answers!

Longlivity is not an aspect that can be increased through natural selection since it stops working once you stop having kids. Unless the species only reproduces at their deathbed, and produces more succesful offsprigs the later it does, natural selection won't effect it. That's why the body is not built to last past a certain point, despite natural limitaitons to lifespan no longer being in place.

There's more than this, of course, but you have to take into account how much we selected dogs make specific races, forcing them into a lot of congeniality which resulted in many deformities, illness or weaknesses.

Very interesting! I’ve always wondered how this worked :)

Animals can live longer than they usually do under captivity. I have a yellow canary which has an expected lifespan of 2-3 years in the wild, but it's 8 now and is expected to live up to 15 if domesticated. Many of these animals could probably live even longer if you make the conditions right - healthy food, safety from predators, ideal temperatures .etc.

Sjarlie Yes, slower heartbeat means that you are very resistant to the cold, and won't instantly die.

Also the telomere length and the amount of the enzyme that repairs it after cell division have an impact on aging.

Thank you!

Meh, 80-100 years is good enough for me.

But in olden days our grandpa is living nearly 100 we are from India you can cross check but nowadays we are getting weak most diseases is occurring in 55 😭.

Oh so thats why stress kills because the beating of your heart

How fast their heart beats

Very good points. But I just have a question. I hope you can answer this. How can scientists measure the life expectancy of organisms other than observation? How can scientists tell that certain animals live for like 200 years, 400 years, 10 thousand years, etc when we can only live like 71 years? I guess another video regarding this? 😅

Its a little hard for the average fellow to follow this video. One example being, how does one find out that a species can live for 10,000 years? Certainly they havent logged the life of the same cucumber for that amount of years, thats just silly. So what gives? Where does that information come from? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply.

Sea sponges grow quite slowly, so when they find one the size of a car they base it off of that I'd assume.

Short but insightful!

I've heared that generally most species do have a similar total amount of heartbeats. The difference lies in the fact that the heart of mice beats extremely fast in comparison the the heart of a whale. My question is: Theoretically wouldn't this mean that having a fast heart rate (and maybe also doing much sport which of course also accelerates the beat-rate) mean that these people would die younger than people with a slower heart beat? (sorry if this is a silly question.)

Athletes have much lower heart rate than average people when they are not exercising. Maybe only 40 per minute. So I don't think we will die younger if we exercise.

Ted: tells me I can live longer Me: *eats candy*

Great video. Thanks.

it would always amaze me that some things die after a week while some live for 300 years, yet both seem to survive evolution and reproduce.

Are humans considered large or small animals?

I was thinking why this video has less views? but I realized it was uploaded just 29 mins ago

My corn snake lives up to 20-30+ years in captivity with good care

the last part is only the most important!

So what kind of world is the most plausible in the next 100 years? A world controlled by super-intelligent AI, a world controlled by cybernetics humans or a world controlled by mutants?

RookieN08 I think if we create a super AI, and it wanted to control the world it has 2 options: Make better AI or make better people. So our super AI creates super humans which are to us, mutants. In order to combat the mutants, we would use cybernetics. There you go, a world with all 3. 😎
