    I was confused what was up with this video, because my class did a similar lab in high school around 2013. Then I did some googling and figured out that the lab we did was designed by Dr. Ratcliff, and our class was one of the first to try it. It was kind of amazing getting to do actual biology when I was only 15, though I remember the frustration of not always getting the results we were hoping to get through the lab.

      I disagree with the problem of how the first DNA came into existence, it is made from proteins and you need DNA to make proteins. Mainstream science regarding evolution is all about interpreting data to fit a presupposed paradigm and rejecting anything else regardless of evidence. Lets ignore the fact a simple protein folding by chance requires a greater number than all of the molecules in the entire cosmos. Lets pretend that molecules without a mind are responsible for the most complex code ever discovered, so complex it took 2,800 scientists 13 years to map a human genome. Lets use our imaginations to explain away the fact that the human brain is the most complex object ever discovered and attribute its unbelievably complex design to dumb molecules that cannot 'think'. Lets ignore thousands of years of OBSERVATION that the source of complexity and information always leads to an intelligent agent so we can ascribe all the complexity and information we see in every living organism to dumb molecules that cannot 'think' and have no purpose or intent but managed to create the immense biological complexity we see in our world. Whilst we are at it, we can pretend that all the symbiosis between living things that is an absolute necessity within the complex ecosystem evolved at the exact same time all over the world so that life could be sustained and not suddenly disappear after billions of years of gradual imaginary change. Lets just say we got lucky and every male and female of each species evolved at the exact same time and in the exact same location so as not to pose a problem of instant extinction. Some of us do actually know why we disagree with the absurdity of Narnia evolution. If your mother believes in God, she is much wiser than you and you should desist in trying to convince her of the evolutionary lie.

    Although this research is interesting, it needs to be interpreted carefully. Unicellular does not always mean primitive. Far from being the "simple" organisms many people (including some biochemists who should know better) imagine them to be, yeasts are part of a huge group of complex fungi and appear to have become unicellular by evolving from ancient filamentous species. Therefore this experiment could simply be reactivating dormant ancestral genes, roughly analogous to breeding humans with larger appendixes or fur. It is at best a crude model for how multicellularity arose in the first place.

      I agree that yeast is probably a bit too close of an organism to say "hey it's clumping, that's cool!" but they went a step further and saw not only clumping, but also specialization, and even an early form of respiration. So yes, they are definitely already a complex unicellular organism, but when under heavy external pressures, showed actual evolution (as in hereditary, survival of the fittest, etc.), which I find facinating.

    Pretty fascinating stuff. While the level of cell differentiation has a long way to go to create entirely novel cell types, I could see how this behavior in yeast might represent an intermediate step of some kind. Of course, new organisms require new cell types with new functionality, which means there needs to be new genetic information. And once again, the critical ingredient in these experiments is applied intelligence. Still, one cannot ignore these results nor the implications for chemical evolution. As for whether scientists have proven evolution in the lab, I think not - or at least, not yet.

    Evolution is an idea that comes with a story board. It is prefigured entities that make the story possible. By looking at life we start following the unicellular to the multicellular. On the way there are all these gaps that must be filled. Our best minds have engaged in this effort by comparing visual attributes. First we imagined a short timeline but now it seems to be expanding to unimaginable billions of years to make the unlikely spontaneous genetic mutation possible to form viable life forms and multiply. All this is based on rigorous information technology that codes for so intricate proteins and protocols that no scientific experiments come near explanation. Evidence of science in this regard are imaginary at best. 19th century outdated philosophy underlying the whole theory. Love you all.

    2. Separate groups of yeast cells, so that only group behaviour remains.
    3. Make some changes to the environment so that these groups change some qualities ( form larger groups, change the thinckness of the cellular wall etc.)
    4. Claim evolution.
    Did I miss anything? There was a reference to proto regulatory systems, but there was no explanation as to how they differ from the normal yeast behaviour. So, if yeast cell is able to remove waste products from its surroundings, then a group would do the same, but more effectively, right?

    Random: I wish we could stop being paranoid & support scientific research around CRISPR. We can learn so much about our genetic material. Find which things do what. Could learn how to improve the ways our bodies function. Help treat health issues, diseases, our bodies ability to heal, fatigue, the list goes on.. What matters most, is if we can approach this new branch of science with genuine curiosity and motivation. This type of science could have amazing impacts in the medical field and our understanding of biology as a whole. Could greatly improve people's quality of life. Treat health conditions. I really hope we drop the paranoia scare tactics that are holding us back from progression..
