I remember back in school, my professor told us that yawning was meant to keep us alert. This is why other animals also yawn. The idea being that yawning would force us to refocus or wake up when we are suppose to be alert or on watch. When someone does this, others nearby would also do so in the attempt to stay awake as well. This is mostly instinctual.
I was told it was because you're brain didn't have enough oxygen that's why you inhale,
well if you look at household dogs especially the more intelligent working variety they all yawn out of stress and hyper stimulation so yawning is probably to keep them alert
Same I heard it was our body taking in oxygen and a higher rate to wake your body up when tired
Your professor probably heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone else who heard it from someone else who made just enough sense for them to go wow you might be onto something thus began the domino affect of did you know.... in reality though if you really think hard about it. Most of the facts and knowledge we have are based on assumptions not 100% true fact. Based on evidence we have gathered. When a prisoner gets imprisoned we assume they are guilty based on the evidence provided. Essentially all our knowledge is based on educated guesses. Which has a higher accuracy rate then just regular assuming true. However in reality we essentially know nothing. Nothing we have learned or been taught is 100% proven fact or works for everyone and there is no sure fire way to truly prove anything. Essentially we are just guessing our way through life and hoping things work.
nah when i yawn i feel like im 7ft tall and i just go light headed and fall over
In my mind, consciousness is pretty much just a manifestation of multiple pieces of information and brain processing coming together. I don't think it exist in any physical way, it is more like an experience.
Scientists know where it comes from-they can even turn it off!
My biggest question is can your ancestors memory be passed down. Like animals do things that they shouldn't even know to do but it's basically built into their Brain to do that? Again novice here lol
So one could suggest consciousness is the soul. It exists because your consciousness makes it exist and it can’t exist without itself. A kind of mental paradox.

The appendix I have heard is kind of a refuge for microbes that helps us restore our microbiome after something like an infection or food poisoning.
I have heard that people who have it removed tend to have more digestive tract issues and take longer to recover, although I have no idea if any of this is true in any way.
It makes some kind of enzyme, I think too. A redundancy, but redundancies are not uncommon in human anatomy
@@trollrat2828 I had my appendix removed a couple days ago
So you think it helped humans eat all kinds of 🤮 food. Filter it out.
A lot of these questions they ask in this video actually has answers. It drove me nuts answer a lot of these questions to myself.
its a difference of having an idea what those functions do and beeing able to proof it. Its called a theory obviously, but proofing one can be much more complicated,

In the case of the appendix; studies have shown that after a "cleansing of the gut" (diarrhea) bacteria levels return to normal faster in people who have their appendix, so it's like it keeps an emergency supply of your gut bacteria which is kinda cool.
Just like me who keeps and emergency charger in case my sister breaks it again
I find that to be such a beautiful thing: we are gifted with so many questions that science will never run out of new things to reveal.
Remember the guy who had a concussion, woke up and was able to play the piano with precision and skill even though he had never touched a piano before?
I love this channel, like every video and watch it daily. Looked passed some wrong information in videos in the past, because it’s no big deal really.
Unfortunately though, lots of theses “unknown” things have been explained and as to why and how.
Curious as to where you are getting some of this information from?
Hope you look more into these individual topics, read more on these topics and look forward to an updated version of the video.
Totally agree!
I was looking for this comment! My friend over-hearing the video had the more current theory it explanation.
This is true
Him: since I said the word yawn you may be doing it right now
Me: **terrified to move cause I just yawned**
I like the theory that yawning was to communicate to the group that it’s ok to sleep, it makes sense for us as social creatures to have traveled in large groups, and with no (official or found) way to communicate during these times with words, yawning is a good indication and can be a reasonable theory as why it’s contagious to me.
Edit: we’re also closely related to bonobos not just genetically but also mentally when it comes to altruism, if you want a source I recommend reading Bonobo and the Athiest. It’s a great book I read during my primate behavior course in college.
The fingerprint thing is a good question honestly..I've NEVER really thought bout it before
Think of it as the ends of your body, when developing in the fetus, your limbs are the last to develop. Might be just the skin moving back on itself
What about gorillas
When we have different finger prints they have different nose prints
And same with kowalas with there dumb fingers
About our strength, ive read that its because we evolved as endurance creature, and these endurance muscle fibers slowly replaced twitch muscle fibers
Actually the chimp claim is slightly exaggearted. Humans arent that much weaker than chimps. Infact, that study compares chimps and humans of the same size. Since humans are bigger than chimps a bigger human could out perform a chimp in absolute terms.
But yes, your statment about endurance is true. Upright walking is much more energy costly than all fours for animals like chimps. Our smaller muscles help mitigate that
@@MegaeffinGarchomp17 yeah ive seen that they arent *that* much stronger as well
We also have counter-nerves to prevent our bodies from ripping itself apart. We are stronger than you think. This goes hand in hand with the endurance thing.

I remember I was always told yawning is because as we get tired we breathe less and it’s an attempt by the brain to expel excess carbon dioxide
The snappy background music is great!
Honestly I think that the human brain is so complicated that I can't even begin to understand it. There have been cases where people have had concussions and woke up speaking new languages perfectly when they had no ties to the countries that speak said languages.
The brain is always recording information unconsciously, you could flick through TV channels and hear a few words in french- your brain will store that information unconsciously however you yourself won’t understand it because you think with a conscious mind
They may have had ancestors who have spoken that launguage
Sleeping allows us to store information and allows our brain to focus on other things other than being conscious. This is why the brain is more active at night. Another reason is our muscles regenerate after exercise and I'd say 98% of the time the regeneration is done in our sleep, it allows the brain the address the various issues that could be dangerous to our survival and therefore fix them while it doesn't have a conflict with consciousness.
Edit: Not proven but I believe that dreams access information that we learned throughout the day or helps you, yourself, address an issue that only a conscious mind can help such as trying to build up confidence and such. Dreams to me are like a debriefing before entering the conscious state.
Mostly people yawn when they feel bored or their mind is relaxed
I’m pretty sure sleeping has been proven to be to allow the brain to drop motor functions and functions like sight, smell and touch to work on internal things. Healing, growth, digestion, quarantining sickness etc.
It’s low power mode.
I learn something from this channel everyday just like it was school
Could eye coloring be used for attraction similar to colorful feathers on a bird maybe? 🤔
Wow that's a good question!! There was this thing I read where it said "best eye to hair color" combos and maybe hair and eyes work for attraction.
Sleep can be related to why we charge our cell-phones. My guess is that it regulates the neurons inside our brains
so that we may have greater ease sending our electrical signals to our nerves to move. Dreaming may help us to
disperse with the saved mental imagery, which of course we no longer need. These are just my crazy thoughts...
The human body is indeed an enigma
*"The Body Knows What It Wants"!!*
8:50 with the blood types ive noticed there's a total of 9 bloodtypes which peculiarly lines up with the number of planets in our solar system as well as the number of ancient mythology main gods.
I often wondered if yawning is a exercise for the jaws and mouth and helps them relax/change position?
(in addition to the theories about the brain mentioned).
I yawn after yawning all day. i even yawn after that. To make matters worse, i've yawned a few times in the process from thinking of and writing this comment. 😮😲😲😲😮😩
When I was around 12 I think I broke my right wrist but because I wasn't in any sports I had to learn how to use my left hand or fail every class I had so I was right handed and now I can use both lol
Broke my left and right wrist when I got a hold of my first PB magazine. Learned to accept failure and my wrists already went perfect with the shrug look. 🤷♂️
I can use both too…in other areas 🙄
This video alone made me yawn more times that I have in the past 2 weeks
Dreams are in my experience essentially just sensual manifestations of stuff I happen to think about while asleep, with both conscious and unconscious thoughts feeding off of each other back and fourth.
Sleep also is pretty important for lerning, especially long term stuff so I think it might be a possibility that we do it because of all the neural connections that are being made, strenghtened and changed. If we were awake during all of this it we'd probably have constant seizures, delusions, halluzinations etc.
I can see that kind of looking like schizophrenia although that'd require a link between that and sleep I do not know of any.
When u spoke bout yawning I yawned the same time😭😭😭😭
There's the theory that our body hair is on it's way out or at now the maximum it'll be again. Hairs are excellent sensory organs, it can be easy to tell when a pest has landed on you. It's small enough to land on the hair but not touch the skin, so feeling a hair move is uncomfortable and you want to scratch or smack at it to push the pest away or off of you. One other theory that's not mutually exclusive is that humans started shedding body hair because it provided shelter for detrimental creatures like ticks and lice. Now there's usually only two areas that get infected with lice.

I always thought yawning was used to communicate to other people that it’s time to sleep
we do know why we have a dominant hand. many mammal species show a preferred hand for activities. the best explanation is that it only makes sense to put energy into developing one-handed skills e.g. writing in one hand than divide that energy into two hands.
Ok. What about your feet and eyes???? Huh, Alexis???
could you post more vids about torture methods in history plz???
Many of these things are overly simplified and maybe don't need a complex explanation. Fact is we have natural reactions to much of these and that can be an answer.
Exactly.
Occam's razor: the simplest answer is most often correct"
Heard somewhere yawning was to expell excess co2. Someone should test if there is more than normal co2 in a yawn than an exhale
I remember being told in school that yawning was due to lack of oxygen, which semi made sense for it being contagious. If i saw someone yawn, not only would it tell me that there isnt much oxygen in the air, but some guy is stealing the last of it
I felt like I was winning. Then after you said yawn for the 8th time...... I broke.
1:25 The Y chromosome -- which is only present in males -- is not activated in the first 5-6 weeks of embryonic development. Till the Y chromosome is activated the fetus will grow into a female.
Thank you. I had hoped someone else knew this too.
Each of us is a world to the trillions of tiny creatures that share our personal space, inside and out. We give them safe harbor and nourishment, and in return, they can help keep ill creatures at bay and even assist us in getting more nutrition from things we can't digest well with our own facilities. The microbiome is a complex and often surprising part of our lives -- I look forwards to learning more about it, as new research comes in.
It's actually theorized that the appendix is to protect bacteria that is good for your body before the bad bacteria comes through. I don't recall the exact article I read this in...
0:55 look closer...
Do you see it ?
Should be stickied
The reason that we have dominant hands is because that is the hand that we are most used to using it is the one we have the most practice with
I was definitely holding in a yawn when he said that 😳🤣 that’s kinda scary
Eye color is believed (from what I understand not going to say for certain) to relate to our personality. Darker eyes are supposed to be more aggressive and less sensitive to light. Blue, grey/silver and other light colors are supposed to be more calm, belong to people who are more intelligent and are more sensitive to light.
Lol, none of that makes any sense Just say what you were really trying to say.
That's racist
The sleep one got me it's 3 in the morning
I just yawned when you talked about yawning so I know irs a suggestion 😆
I was actually hiccupping violently while you were telling me I was yawning 🥲

You can also live without a gallbladder. But since it regulates and moves fat and grease, you , well me, have to be a little more careful about what you eat. You, (i) can get nauseous at times.
3:00 I'm surprised they did not mention hyenas being the only other creatures that laugh.
And how for them there laughter is a sign of stress.
just because it sounds like laughter as we humans know it does not mean it is laughter the way we use it. it could just be a form of communication for them that has nothing to do with being humored
wow that’s pretty cool
As a female, I personally appreciate some tasteful toilet humor. And to me, flatulence (both burps and farts) is hilarious under any circumstances.

There's this thing inside me that makes my hair turn color gray and dodge bullets.
I was wondering about yawning the other day while I was yawning. Animals yawn too. It’s just cuter to watch.
I always figured sleep was like eating and drinking. Instinct. And sleep is in stages. Light and deep sleep.
Come to think of it, when I have a fever, I have a constant urge to stretch and yawn, I'll do it over and over again until I fall asleep
Lol
Wasn't the appendix meant for breaking down certain meats before we started cooking food and overtime, with the lack of eating raw meat, the appendix shrunk? That's what I was told
Something in our body had to help us with eating Raw meat and Unclean water back in the stone days. I mean something had to?
I didn’t yawn because I was to busy eating a Nutella sandwich
Sounds yummy, hope you enjoyed it.

Yawning is the body's way of adapting to a change in your breathing speed, when you breathe slower than you previously were, you yawn so you can take in extra oxygen to adapt to that change. Same thing for if you breathe faster than you previously were, try it.

the yawning joke was pretty cool....
Oh my gosh it'd be hilarious if someday we met aliens and they just tarantino around while we sleep wondering why we're so weird🤣🤣🤣
Great, now I cant stop yawning.
For a lot of these it could be that our bodies haven’t fully adapted yet so there is still body hair
As far as I know the Ancestors of humans evolved in africa or other regions that tend to get really hot. I can see it making sense if they lost their fur in response to evolving sweating as a primary method to cool off. Fur may have interfered with the heat transfer or evaporation of sweat.
The reason we kept hair on our head was probably to protect our head from direct exposure of sunlight since that can cause a lot of problems after a while.
I always cry when I see people cry, not always laugh though. One day I was alone and seen something funny, I started laughing uncontrollably, my mom (old and lives w me) comes out of her room to find out what was so funny, but I literally couldn't stop, it wasn't like a case of the giggles, this was full out belly laughs that sometimes sound doesn't come out and you can't breath and then sounds start coming out that you've never heard before. I was truly scared but couldn't stop for probably 5 minutes
Why
There may be a connection between people who are dyslexic and also left handed. I don't know if there's been a study about it, but there should be. I would love to know if everyone who has dyslexia is also left handed...
There's a correlation between creativity and schizophrenia

What advantages would having 2 main hands bring... I think you are better off with a hand that's good at doing stuff and one that's good at supporting, like when you use your right hand to write and your left to hold the paper, or one to hold the knife and the other to hold the food you're cutting
I know my body makes me look like a clown under pressure
When i get sick i usually get a throat issue and i yawn too get more air. Idk why…
Hand off to the person who wrote script you did amazing job
Maybe finger prints help with wrinkles after water exposure? That’s just a guess though
The reason you yawn is to regulate breathing, if you aren't getting enough (such as when you are tired), or are getting to much Oxygen, it regulates your breathing. If this is incorrect, blame my band teacher.
Most sharks sleep with one eye open because if they stop swimming, they die. Also, some birds do it too, they even sleep on the the wing. Something about only half their brain sleeps at the time
The thing with yawning that confuses me the most is why does almost every animal have some kind of yawning behavior?
The human body’s so trippy 🙃
I think consciousness is related to regulation of neurofunctions. The same way as binary codes assigned to perform a specific task. We also know that we can make RAM and ROM or in a simple way of saying the regulation in a binary format. There is a chance that we can collect our thoughts into a computer generated system in the coming future.
