Natural Selection

Spread The Viralist



Discover natural selection as a mechanism of evolution with the Amoeba Sisters. This video also uncovers the relationship of natural selection and antibiotic resistance in bacteria and emphasizes biological fitness. This video has a handout here: http://www.amoebasisters.com/handouts.html Note: This video is focused on natural selection. When we briefly mention evolution as ‘change over time’, this IS a bit too much of a simplification. We eventually hope to make a video specifically on evolution itself.

The Amoeba Sisters videos demystify science with humor and relevance. The videos center on Pinky’s certification and experience in teaching biology at the high school level. For more information about The Amoeba Sisters, visit: http://www.amoebasisters.com/about-us.html

REFERENCE:
We cover the basics in biology concepts at the secondary level. If you are looking to discover more about biology and go into depth beyond these basics, our recommended reference is the FREE, peer reviewed, open source OpenStax biology textbook: https://openstax.org/details/books/biology

  1. As we mention in video details, this video is focused on a mechanism of evolution: natural selection. We eventually hope to make a video specifically on evolution itself as this video does not formally define evolution. Natural selection is a scientific theory, but there is a lot of confusion on what a scientific theory really is. You may be interested in our video that explains what a scientific theory is https://youtu.be/P30QlwSsUic. Also, this video has a resource! https://www.amoebasisters.com/handouts

  2. Are evolution believers sure that if you teach people they're basically like a mix of a monkey, ape and chimp or something like that and can just do whatever, that God won't send judgement down upon our heads?

  3. First thought that came to my head: does this mean the world population will become more and more attractive? Since attractive people would generally be fitter (biologicallly) and it benefits them to be more attractive, as we often like people more or less based on their looks( I hope this doesn't cause offence to anyone, and this would mean you're more attractive than the older generation if I am right!l

  4. I have some oceanfront property for you in Arizona if you believe in evolution. All kidding aside, change cannot explain the evolution of a simple seed to grow a plant. They can explain the evolution of 50,000 different plants and vegetables and trees they claim came from one source, where did the one seed come from? They can't explain how the seeds learned how to reproduce themselves. They cannot explain why it took a man and a woman to create a reproductive process, to create a child, and why was it necessary for them to join together? If it was so smart, why did it need a female? Why didn't it just recreate itself, gee maybe it had a creator? These are some of the unanswered questions they cannot answer. It's very simple as I explained; they can explain it, so they never talk about it. In the end, one of us will be right. If they are correct, they win; if I'm right, then their all going to hell. The simple answer believes in Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Believe not and go to hell; it doesn't get any easier to explain the situation like that. I challenge you to look at the other side or find answers to these simple questions that I've just proposed. Ask, where did the dirt come from? Why did the earth need dirt to grow things, I guess evolution said we need dirt so let's create it. Yea right. Why did it need water to grow things, Do you think all those things are just a coincidence by pure random chance?

  5. It's been a slight of hand folks! Real adaptations to changed environments and diets has come from modifications of the already-present epigenomes…not on the fly DNA mutations getting naturally selected. These epigenome-derived adaptations, such as the Darwin Finch beaks, comes from the same biological system in which gene expression comes from. It's the same process that antibiotic resistance comes about. Thusly, this is an intelligent design signature that these come from. These adaptations biological mechanism is called 'epigenetics'. Natural selection selects these modifications as evolutionists have used this for the smoke and mirrors for their evolutionary theory.

    These epigenome-derived adaptations have been wrongly called 'microevolution'. All of the macroevolution claims used this badly-called first step actually caused-by-epigenetics to fool millions of people. The precept of 'microevolution' being wrong makes the 'macroevolutionary' concept impossible. Effects from genome degeneration has been called 'evidence' for evolutionary generation. It's so convoluted!

    It pains me to see people fall for this charade called evolution. We are a creation. The Creator? The one most hated by today's world. You can tell a lot about a friend by his enemies. The Creator is Jesus Christ. I grieve for everybody fooled into thinking the atheist worldview is the correct one. All of us have been robbed of better lives because of the evolutionary theory. The claim of genome degeneration causing evolutionary generation is so absurd. It's comic book biology. Find the free gift of eternal life thru true Gospel Christianity. Here is how.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh1VU-_OF98

  6. The Skeleton Army card is unlocked from the Bone Pit (Arena 2). It spawns 15 single-target, melee Skeletons with very low hitpoints and low damage, with an overall extremely high damage per second. A Skeleton Army card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.

  7. these videos are so awesome and make it so easy to focus, i have really bad adhd but the visuals are so easy to watch and actually pay attention and learn

  8. Thank you for the video I am now a multi millionaire scientist studying an extinct spices in Russia.

  9. Natural Selection never creates new DNA info that the parents didn't have in the first place. And mutations will destroy DNA info nearly every time, and never add new and viable DNA info. Natural Selection and mutations don't have what evolution needs. That's a scientific fact, folks!!
