Shouldn't 'De-extinction' be called... 'Rezoorection'?
I should write that one down.
This needs more likes, it really does
Underrated. Should have received more upvotes
Like it but that means I deserve a PUNishment now 😋
Yes you should
anyone else here think we should start making chicken size T-Rex's?
That is the best idea I have heard in a long time
Field Marshal Fry You mean actual velociraptors, right? img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150124220850/dinosaurs/images/f/f2/Velociraptor_u4hjbq.jpg
Field Marshal Fry That, and we need to find a way to make pet sized elephants.
Gail Lewis
TO THE MAD SCIENCE LAB! *Batman music*
Field Marshal Fry Muuuu Huuuuu Huaaa Huaaa!!
All I want is a pet Dodo...
...Scientists.... Get to work.
Have you heard of the Eyre Affair? lt's a book by Jasper Ffrode that includes a cloned Dodo named Pickwick, which has no wings, goes "plock" and is super awesome.
+The Doctor who? did you change yours to match mine?
p.s. l don't really appriciate ypu using a picture of me as your profile photo.
And then KFD is born. Hmmm.. tasty...
Yeah... I was just thinking of Dodos the whole time...
HubblePie who doesnt?
I think another problem would be that the environment 65 million years ago was dramatically different. Even if we could clone a dino it would probably suffer from lack of sufficient oxygen.
+glenrkat Yup. And food. Because plants grew differently back then.
No it would adapt or we would have an enclosure that has the right amount of humidity etc
+Adolf Lincoln animals doing adapt just like that
Adolf Lincoln I think your seriously underestimating how much the earth has changed in that many millions of years.
+glenrkat I know how much the world has changed. But it takes thousands of years for it to happen. Suggesting that a species would adapt to their new environment in the blink of an eye is silly.
This reminded me of a great quote from Jurassic Park. Your scientists where so concerned with if they could and never stopped to think if they should.
I was expecting the raptor head to say "Alan".
GuyWithAnAmazingHat same
Me too!!😂😂😂
Hey Kyle. I want to say that this was a great series to watch during Finals Week and I really enjoy your content. I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't, that Dolly was not the first animal ever cloned, nor was she the first sheep ever cloned. Megan and Morag the year before, or the first....sort of cloning back in 1885. Either way, I really enjoy this channel and I'll continue watching well after finals are over. Thanks a ton.
Chinkensaurus Rex! Now THAT I wanna see!
how about bring back the Thylacine aka the tasmanian tiger i recon that would be a good one for you to do as well
ben lancaster The giant new Zealand bird would be a sight to see, problem is it would have to eat, plus what the hell could birth that.
Seraph Sephiroth true and that would probably be one of the meany problem's you would face is trying to find a close enough realitive to cary and give birth.
ben lancaster A close relative wouldn't be an issue, but the closest eagle is like a third of that size though.
Birds don't carry, it would be the egg breaking before full maturity that would be the issue.
Took too much scrolling to see this
Holy Crap! That was the most realistic chickensaurus imitation I've ever heard.
I know there are bigger things going on with this show, but I am so impressed with Kyle's ability to write and draw backwards while continuing to present to us.
Really been enjoying these! I can't wait for next week's video.
I'm completely obsessed with this show! Great episode! Keep up the good work, Kyle!
S Sosa Fiscella That's so nice, thank you!
Thanks to you for replying to your viewers! That speaks very highly of you!
They actually more or less explained the DNA decomposition in the dinosaurs when the main scientist said that the dinosaurs really shouldn't look like the way they did, and they looked like that do to DNA splicing.
Dude, I love it when you answer my questions. Brightens up my day. Great video too, by the way. Very interesting.
Rami Ungar I'M INSIDE YOUR HEAD. And thanks!
You're welcome. And I hope you're not in my head, I'm a horror novelist! Your hair should not turn white this early in your life! LOL ;)
*CC*: [Scary Clucks]
*Video*: He's totally choking.
it doesn't matter how many clones we make, it will not replace Harambe
#Harambe4Life
David Nguyen Clayton killed harambe in animation rewinds channel
David Nguyen it was the greatest video ever. next to the "bieber gets killed by everyone"
Jurassic park 5 rise of the chicken!!!!
+DEATH111183 Rise of the Dodos.
TinchoX The Dark Dodo Rises......
DEATH111183 Ohh that got interesting.
Loved the antics in today's video! ^.^
With where the science is now, I'd love to hear an ethical debate on whether we should be resurrecting extinct creatures.
"Hold on to your butts"
Well played.
OMG that ending! Got a good chuckle out of me.
great video like usual mr kyle,love all your work
kwoloon13 Thank you!
I love these videos. You are my favorite person, Kyle. Science!
***** Thank you so much!
Is there a science explanation for storing pokemon in pokeballs?
The Ricktator Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Remove the bones first?
Each pokeball is a pocket demension
He has done a video
+enf folife Thats absolutely horrific
fuck ethics, i want a chickenraptor and i want a chickenraptor now now now NOW.
+ThatGuyThatDancesCrazily but the chickenraptor will want you... FOR DINNER :O
***** no, i want a chicken sized chickenraptor, pop that babymonster in the roof and ALLAKAZAM! No more rats and a budding relationship between species. Mutualism, chicken eats the rats and is fat and happy, i dont eat the chicken and have no rats :)
Dont kill the beautiful dream dude. dont be that guy.
+ttlpwn34 actually even the normal sized chikens may want tou for dinner. they stalk and attack with that spolons as soon as you turn around. they are miniraptors even now
Pablo Leonardo Macaya Gavilán dude dude dude DUUUUDE, your talking about a rooster-raptor, i don't want a rooster-raptor, those guys are cocks. And they don't attack you, they PENETRATE you... from behind ;D
nop, i mean boot of them roosters and chickens (or at least the ones in my house) act like a pack of velociraptors , they even attack the dogs and steal their food
I'm making that last "enhjjg. emng." raptor-thing Kyle did a GIF. For science, of course.
MrC12B1MAN Show me on Twitter @Sci_Phile
Could you make more space because science videos please? (Like the Alcubierre drive, and stuff like that)
Can you do an episode on manipulating/inserting information in the brain, as in the Matrix (loosely)?
I think we should bring animals that we caused to go extinct like the Tasmanian tiger, sea mink, javan tiger, passenger pigeon, and black rhino. thats all the ones i can remember there's probably a lot more i can't think of.
Callus Malus also the dodo. Imagine how dork dodos would be!!
hey Kyle Hill can you do a episode on deadpools or wolverines healing ability and how we could get that in the real world in some way?
Personally, I believe it is our responsibility as an advanced species to bring back the animals we rendered extinct in the past due to poor choices, such as the thylacine, which we killed off due to deliberate overhunting. It would be beneficial to the environment and, in many ways, to ourselves. Animals such as mammoths and dinosaurs probably should be left extinct, as they would likely not survive in the modern environment of the world and have negative effects on the environment. However, let's face it: if we were to bring back extinct animals, chances are the corporations that funded the process would care more about the P.R. than they would about the quality of life for the species.
***** Did you actually read my comment?
I guess when you mean to bring them back you mean to stick in a zoo somewhere so we can look at them. It was disease that really hit the thylacine hard and can't imagine that would change if reintroduced today.
I believe it is our responsibility not to kill the individual animals in the first place. Why are people only worried about species going extinct but not about the individual lifes that were taken? If someone murders a bunch of people and justifies it by saying "Well, I let some members of their families alive so their genetic material is not endangered" it does not make him morally superior somehow, does it?
Daisy Chains Humans are omnivores, just as lions are predators. Biologically, we acquire nutrients from animals that plants cannot replace. It is our responsibility to address this need for our natural diet, which includes both meat and plants.
Also, why do you not consider the plants as life taken for food?
Where would they live? With deforestation running rampant and species going extinct by the day, unless you're willing to bunk with them I say they're better off where they are. And it's not like it'd be an apology to them since they aren't being brought back from the dead, just being artificially recreated: entirely new individuals, tabula rasa baby that don't know shit yet.
We still aren't even that good at it and if you fuck up just one gene it dies (probably quite painfully at that). And most of the public won't have the conscious to differentiate between species that went extinct due to natural selection taking its course and those that went extinct because of our interference and see reviving them (or at least the cute ones) as the "obviously" moral thing to do regardless and completely spitting on evolution.
It’s the year 2018 and I read an article that in 10 years or five years from now will be able to clone prehistoric animals
And thats so awesome
This all fits into my 'Skyrim is set in the future' theory. :p
All I want is a pet dodo
omg yes
I misread that so bad.
I feel partly dirty.
Kyle! My first questions for Because Science is: "How come an animal as big and as furry as a Bantha can survive in the arid deserts of Tatooine?"
there should be a recap on this video since new evidence suggest a team of scientists in Korea are trying to replicate a Permafrost lion cub.
i enjoy your videos a lot
Crichton would be proud...and you're awesome, sir! :) MTFBWY
Keep doin what you're doin Kyle.
I think it would be awesome to have a living mammoth around
At some point I can imagine having technology that, upon scanning of rock material where DNA was present, can find the elements that it eventually became and rewind the clock digitally to recreate what combination was there. There you get your lego bricks, now you just put them together....still, you would need some way to give birth to the little guys but if we really, honestly want to make Jurassic Park happen humans would try and figure it out as best they could....we're weird like that...At some point in the future I can see the possibility of DNA recombinate machines or machines that can manufacture a strand of DNA from a given strand blueprint...would be an interesting time, but also a kinda scary one...
I got idea for a video. Is it possible to make a Gundam or Zoid with the technology that we have now?
@Nerdist i got a question in the movie they used different genomes from different animals to get specific results, so couldn't we take genomes of animals we have today and have it so we could make an actual dinosaur?
Jurassic Park...a good example of art imitating science and science imitating art.
the epigentics is one of the biggest issues if you want viable animals, you may have the complete genome but if specific pieces aren't turned off and others on you get malformed babys, that's why Dolly the sheep was very lucky in regards to that seeing they didn't use the genome of egg and spermcells but somatic cells whose epigenetics are different
I laughed harder than i shouldve @ 1:54
With the advances in genetic sequencing, we might be able to assemble complete dino DNA if we have enough samples. IE this part is broken in that sample, but that part is broken in that sample. With enough intact pieces and a supercomputer, we might be able to assemble the puzzle completely. Then we are left with synthesizing the DNA, which can be done today, although not with very complex strands.
After that its a matter of developing the 'cloning vat' to incubate the new life form and track its growth. The largest problem with this concept would likely be a lack of genetic diversity and then 'educating' an animal to act like it should.
Hahahaha. 1:50 Philociraptor
De-extinction of mammoth before the next Jurassic World movie..... mmm that's 2018. Can't wait for that! Seriously. I m always waiting for that day (I mean, the de-extinction)
This topic is excellent. Glad to know that there has been 10-minutes success previously. Thanks for the video!
Great B.S., Kyle! Er, that somehow doesn't come out right in acronym format, so, Great Because Science, Kyle.
Speaking of bigger things, like dinosaurs, why were Dino's so big back then, and why is life smaller?
Come to think of it, why are humans getting bigger?
No doubt, you'll give us a glimpse into Indominatus Rex soon.
But I say go big or go home!
Let's turn back the clock to Godzilla (2014) who was 350 feet tall, as I recall. Is there a limit to how big a creature can get, and if so why?
Could Godzilla and other Kaiju feed on radiation?
And let's talk about that incredible case of radio-active halitosis - Godzilla's atomic breath!
Go big, or go home!
I hope you'll give us a peek at super-predators in some upcoming Because Sciences.
2 days earlier, then you haven't heard how one palaeontologists discovered LIVE tissue after cracking open a 75 million year old fossil, or that discovery of T. rex egg cells by another paleontologist long ago, what's fascinating is how love tissue can survive for that long and what great conditions must happen to save it
Tallacus Very cool, though the tissue won't contain anything close to necessary to piece together a genome.
Kyle Hill Kyle, what about the blood though?
www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jun/09/75-million-year-old-dinosaur-blood-and-collagen-discovered-in-fossil-fragments
Kyle Hill probably so, still its amazing that such tissue even if its incomplete still survived this long and should be saved
It’s so strange to me how little known this fact is, red blood cells have been discovered in Rex bones as early as the 90s, yet the information just doesn’t seem to spread.
I’ve heard second hand an amusing anecdote about a palaeontologist at a dig in Alaska. Having excavated a bone from the permafrost he put it on a work table, intending to make a plaster cast after lunch. Upon returning, the bone had thawed, and the entire room smelled as he said “like a fresh steak.” The bone marrow was still soft after all those years under the ice!
I kinda wish that you could clone dinosaurs from back then. Would show us what they really looked like.
I’m pretty sure they did say in the movies that they didn’t have the full genome for dinosaurs within one of the insects in amber 🤔 I believe they did say that they had to combine different genomes to get the completed dinosaur that we saw in the movies 😕😅
The other method that could work, and in fact has already been done, is de-evolution. Basically, we breed animals for traits they used to commonly hold until we return to the olden times. We have done this with cows, recreating aurochs or at least, coming really really close. Im honestly unsure of just how far back we could go along the evolutionary path but its a start. Maybe if we could force mutations we could find ones close to previous versions of the original animal and keep going that way.
so there's still a chance for the dodo and Tasmanian wolf to come back?? or maybe quaggas?
I know this question doesn't apply with this video but I keep hearing about planet x. Have heard anything n is it true?
De-extinction would definitely be a useful tool for restoring lost biodiversity. However, since this field is clearly still in the planning stages, it would require extensive research on which recently extinct species are both very important to the global biome and still able to survive and reproduce under current global conditions.
is it possible with genetic engeneering to re-recreate, (not "clone") an animal that has passed that limit?
Kyle Hill :
Are you right handed, and writing 'backwards to us' in the air with your right hand but sometimes using your left hand to point and then the video is mirrored, or are you left handed, and writing in the air 'backwards to you', but forward to the camera?
What does modern science say about handedness?
(how we think it works as far as the brain is concerned, what percentage of lefties, vs righties vs ambidextrous, genetic factors vs environmental, any recent studies, etc.)
Thanks!!
I would love having a mosasaur chilling in my pool or a raptor sitting on my couch
In australia they found fresh tisue in a dino bone. So idk maybe they could
Those phosphate backbones, brah. Spontaneous hydrolysis at C3 is a real pain in the ass.
Austin Horn Now THAT'S nerdy.
Why is this show not getting 100k+ views a week???? Can science explain this? Because I can't.
Colton Fleckner I really wish I knew.
Love how scientists name things. Brining extinct animals back to life? De-Extinction. The large explosion believed to have created the universe? Big Bang. A very large telescope used for viewing objects in space? The Very Large Telescope.
You should do a Because Science in a 360 video view
Hey, Elephants are not Ancestors of the Mammoths, they're not even technically decedents (the word I assume you were looking for) they're technically the closest living relative. I'm sure this has been posted before but, hey, I'm late to the show.
Oh god . . . the chickens are biting back!
Awesome episode Kyle! Keep up the good work! And give us more cute animals with teeth! :)
2:40 they crave that mineral
wouldn't elephant be a mammoth's descendant not ancestor? or do they actually precede the mammoth somehow?
except we've found soft tissue preserved in dinosaur fossils (specifically a T. rex), and if we find one that was preserved under the right conditions we might even be able to extract a couple copies of DNA. Then we use DNA Polymerase to make a bunch of copies until it's readable and then we read it.
something I've never thought about pertaining to the subject. is that we know elephants are self-aware and they probably wouldn't morning stillborn just as the human would I mean I'm not certain but I'm going to assume so and that's a pretty safe assumption. they wouldn't be able to consent and as risky as this is they should be able to otherwise it's not right.
At 2:18, I think it's the mammoths closest living 'descendants', not ancestors.
I wonder of the DNA half life applies to frozen DNA. like what if we found a frozen water dino, could we use that DNA?
Like, say, an 8 story tall Late Cretaceous Pleiosaur?
adam soles Let it go
Scientist have do something similar with chickens, given they old legs? foots? dinochiken?
I wonder why they chose mammoth.
Did they to have to many remains in their closets and got sick of them?
Or was it a respected birthday wish from a child?
Or is it easier to clone a giant creature?
[Scary clucks] ....that's a generous description...
So if you'd of the chicken evolution reversal thing on us does that mean that we would turn back into apes?
Kyle please answer this question!!! I gotta know! So u mentioned the upper limit on being able to De-extinct animals because of the half life of DNA. But you didn't say exactly how long that limit was. So how long is it? Please tell me its at east a few minion years. Thanks dude
all I want is a dire wolf forget about the German shepherd
This guy really needs to get Mjolnir back!
*cries in future tears*
They are still trying to do this. Last news I heard was from October of this year. 💔
Yeah I heard about something where they tried to clone a T-Rex into chciken eggs
video suggestion...
one of my favourite comic characters is Judge Dredd, aka The Law, and he ages in real time, so at the moment he is (biologically) in his 70's in the comics, yet he is kept on the streets by taking drugs and receiving treatment that keep him active, so would something like that be possible in real lfie?
would it be easier to bring back the dodo or thylacine(tasmanian tiger) than a mammoth
it should be as not only have they more recently went extinct but they should also be able to go through the gestation process faster although how marsupials like the thylacine grow up could be a problem
How about something even more recent, like the dodo or passenger pigeon?
We need to bring back the dodo bird asap
you should do a video on if human animal hybridization is possible
I guess the real question to ask on species to species basis, when it comes to de-extinction, would be how they became extinct. A lot changed in the world between Mammoth extinction (which I do understand is due to ancient humans) and now. A real shame would be to bring something back only to find that the world doesn't really have a place for them anymore. Can we teach a mammoth how to be a mammoth and not an elephant? Can ensure a their diet in the wild, and if both of those questions are resolved do we need to look at bringing back the Smilodon's so that northern asia isn't overrun by an out of control Mammoth population.
I'm really into the idea of De-extinction but honestly I can't see it being used practically to restart a species that hasn't livid in hundreds of years. We can study them we can put them in zoo's but nature doesn't seem to foster the idea of second chances for species. But this can go a long way to save a friends who are almost out the door, I'm lookin at you tigers, SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE!!!
should it be possible to have a bunch of amber with Dino blood of the same species to eventually making a full DNA strand
I like the way it sounds the word woolie...
my only question is why haven't we harvested elephant egg cells. "we" harvest bovine egg cells all the time. it should be as simple as keeping the elephant still and flushing her out.
Moas and Haast eagles in NZ plz :)
Maybe not, them eagles be scary and don't want America to be jealous XD
Kyle Hill Have you heard about CRISPR yet?. Found out about it through the Radio Lab podcast on NPR: mind blowing stuff!
Problem is sometimes due to mutations some genes may end up disappearing over time
Macro vs Micro evolution? I don't believe either one would effect the mammoth but the dino for sure, right?
When it comes to de-extinction I think we should only use it to bring back animals that have become extinct due to humans. Other animals may not be able to live in the conditions that the Earth is now currently in. Also where would we release these animals? There is so many questions that would need to be asked and answered, I'm sure the people behind all this have established that though.
I believe Dolly was the first mammal cloned. not the first animal. they did frogs and many other things before the sheep.
"...but should we?" Yes!
can you 3d print a elephant egg shell with the new technology?
