QQ - will pet animals (like cats and dogs) get a lot smarter really fast due to evolution? I mean we're pretty much making our current pets smarter by teaching them manners and tricks and then also breeding them to pass the "smart genes". Intelligence was never so useful in their lives as it is these days.
good question tho
I've actually always wondered about that. There are some breeds of dog which have been selectively bred for forms of intelligence, such as the Border Collie, I always wondered how smart you could get a dog breed (or any other animal for that matter) to be via artificial selection. Are there particular hurdles at any point such as cranium size or psychology? Could you, theoretically, breed a dogs to fully able to understand human speech? (I'm talking listening to audiobooks and speeches, not 'Roll Over')
Of course, this requires some parameters around which to measure 'intelligence' (which is surprisingly difficult, given that most definitions are deeply anthropocentric) but it still seems like it should be possible.
Merry Machiavelli Lets say they develop intelligence. That would cause a mountain of ethical problems. Do dogs get rights? Will they seek equal rights to humans?
UrbanTarzan Duh Then the ultimate question when they do get intelligent is.... can humans marry dogs?
I think I have an answer but Ill just upvote because I want to hear Hanks answer (:
I spent much of this video staring at my hands. I hope I'm not alone on that...
ME TOO
I did too
Me too I think fingerprints are more than just identity.
after an injury (deep cut) to one of my fingertips my finger prints now deformed.. its kinda cool :D
its kind of cool.. not only are we unique in fingerprints but they look better (in my opinion) than a regular boring ol' fingerprint lol
Jay Aegis William Slaughter Your stories are at least interesting. I was shaving in the shower and the razor slipped out of my hand. I went to catch it but it kinda sliced off a dime sized chunk of the pad of my thumb x3 due to the number of blades. While the scar has finally shrunk to a little 'bubble', the way the ridges have reformed themselves to accommodate the scar is pretty cool. I'd say it's my coolest looking scar to date; although not one that has the coolest of stories.
I've chewed my fingers since I was a child.
They're kinda screwy now.
+_t_love_ same i blew a chunk of my finger a long time ago and then i gut a deep cut in my finger so now a lot of my print on my left pointer finger is gone and the cut made it weird to
and i mean some of the flesh on my finger is gone to but lets not discuss that lol
Here's a QQ:
What is wind? I was once told it is a product of cold air "replacing" the hot air that rises. Does it have anything to do with the Earth's rotation?
Wind is produced from convection currents in the air. So yes, as hot air rises cooler air rushes in to "replace" it. Same thing happens to bodies of water (with the help of wind) to produce currents, and molten rock in the earths mantle which cause the tectonic plates to shift.
Ethan Lofing dont forget the sun. It creates winds too.
Unravel heating and cooling if the earth. The water heats fastest, and gives of hot air.
The earths rotation is not creating wind, but it is changing its direction
is it true that cold air is just air lacking heat energy?
Would be very helpful if you wirte down on the description or website what you say on each video. It's easier to understand better what you say in the video for people as me that isn't english. Thanks and keep the good work :)
I have a question. How do sharp objects cut things in the atomic level? How do they even split open the bond between atoms?
edit: or molecules*
It is true breaking the bond on an atomic level is difficult especially if you are talking about electrons off an atom, on the level of thousands of KiloJoules per Mole. However when you get cut you are breaking the bond between MOLECULES of flesh which is not super strong and they are not super densely packed. So when you think about the width of a knife edge, super thin, and the amount of force you apply, maybe 15 kg lets say, the energy on that knife edge exponentially increases the thinner it is.
Genji le Tale It doesn't, the cut is at the intermolecular level, sharp things don't split molecular chemical bonds just separate the molecules from each other. Things are held together by a variety of intermolecular forces which then are over come when an object is put in between them. Think of people holding hand playing red rover, the people are the molecules and their hands are the relatively weak intermolecular interactions. It is the hands that break, not the people, unless your game gets particularly rowdy lol. These bonds tend to include hydrogen bonds, van der walls, electrostatic attraction, ect.
good question
I have 8 arches on my fingers and one thumb is a loop and the other thumb is a whorl. Such diversity
I don't have fingerprints, I'm in the men in black.
Or she just stripped her fingers of any fingerprints. Sandpaper can do that to you
shaylajacquelyn Or you can wash your hands frequently with bad kitchen detergent and it will have the same result!
lol it was a joke I do have fingerprints, also the men in black spread equality between human and aliens. The aliens that work for them are not "pets".
I think we all know that.
How do we "see" what we imagine or remember?
This has always been something thats bewildered me
This was one of those "You think you kind of have a handle on things and then you learn (again) that there's so much interesting stuff still to learn" videos. Thanks for producing so many of them!
I've actually got a question:
Has the diet of Homo Sapiens changed over the past ten thousand years?
... we have new food like
burgers and fries
so yes... yes it has
darkmage07070777 I'd guess more has changed in the last 200 years than the 9800 before that
Of course it has.
A better question would be when we changed from herbivores to omnivores.
From the top of my head, I think that there are two historical events that radically changed our diet.
The first being the invention of agriculture. Since then, wheat and rice have been a very important food resource in Eurasia.
The second big change came with the rediscovery of the Americas by European settlers. Before Europeans rediscovered the Americas, people in Europe ate a lot of wheat and legumes such as beans and peas. The native people in the Americas however had a.o. corn and potatoes. Since then, potatoes became a very important part of our diet. Likewise, the European settlers brought a lot of their food to the Americas, e.g. bananas, cattle and horses.
An example of a more gradual change in our diet is the growing diversity of fruit. A lot of the fruit that we take for granted originally started out as tropical fruits. Apples, for example, originally come from Turkey, but today, they are grown all over Europe.
I'm sure that if you look into this stuff more, you'll find a lot of stuff that has changed over time.
Q: Why are human eyes almond shaped and have the white part visible unlike most mammals?
The white part is there so other humans can know whether those eyes are making contact with them or not. It's to make the body language easier.
Adrian Fahrenheit Thanks, I didn't know that.
Adrian Fahrenheit Jonah Reinhart Thanks for the explanation!
please do episodes on 1.cloud seeding 2. science behind whistle(sound)
I have whorls and loops and one finger kind of looks like it has arches, but I can't tell for sure, because it is sandpapered smooth.
About 1 minute in, I kept on studying my own prints and didn't pay attention to the rest of the video
QQ- How much oxygen is made from 1 house plant and what house plant makes the most?
blueap06 Actually yes I would like to know this! 😃
I've always assumed mine are loops, which I think they just barely still qualify as according to these definitions, but they're weirdly tall and square and symmetrical and actually more closely resemble the illustration of the whorl. I think I may have got a weird in-between spot.
I have a couple of fingers like that: I have 5 loops, 3 whorls, and 2 in-betweens. No arches at all though, but personally I prefer loops and whorls, so... :)
Jay Aegis I'm interested in that link, but it won't load. Chrome says the server sent no data.
Jay Aegis I don't think mine is a central pocket loop whorl since it doesn't look anything like the picture, but the descriptions of imaginary lines kind of confused me.
Jay Aegis I drew a picture. First one is my left middle finger, the other is my right middle finger. i.imgur.com/4Nu6npR.png
Jay Aegis That's interesting to know. How do you know all this, anyway?
Fetuses use _stemcells?_ Don't they know that's controversial because we came across it slightly more recently than antibiotics?
I know! It's why everyone should support abortion. Don't want them fetuses getting away with using stem cells, it's not natural!
I love this channel. Its always so interesting and sometimes makes you uncomfortable. Even so, i still love it
Also something he did not mention is aches are the most rare were only 7%peson of people have them witch is still alot were as whourse are the most common 42% present
You guys are awesome!!!
Just realised that my 1st, 3rd and 5th fingers are loops and the 2nd and 4th fingers are whorls.. On both sides equally. Woah this is a HUGE realisation . ;) Thumbs up if you have these too !
On a quick note though my twin brothers fingerprint can totally get him past my computer's fingerprint scanner. So our print must be pretty freaking close though.

QQ: What happens when you get a scar? And how come some scars almost dissapears with time and some get more visible with time?
I am curious because a friend of mine has a huge scar on her foot and it's already kinda small, but I have a scar on my chin which is just getting more visible with time
Left hand: Thumb - loop; index - whorl; middle - arch; ring - loop; pinkie - loop.
Right hand: Thumb - whorl; index - loop; middle - loop; ring - loop; pinkie - loop.
Apparently I'm a very loopy person.
Left hand: Thumb - Loop; index - Loop; middle - Loop; ring - loop; pinkie - Loop
Right hand: Thumb - Whorl; index - Whorl; middle - Loop; ring - Whorl; pinkie - Loop
I don't have arches sadly ;(
loops are most common, 65% people have them. Whorl is 2nd with 30%. arches are least common with only 5% of fingerprints having them. so it makes sense.
it's weird... i have loops... though, i have those in bothe directions, as on "center-oop"the goes from left-center to lower-right, and another theat goes from right-center to higher-left.
So do I. It is weird that some people have different patterns on different fingers. I only have loops, but they go in all different directions.
Jay Aegis but it's the total opposite for me(left hand working like the right hand, and the left thumb have 2 loops that slants toward opposite directions in a ying-yang stile motion)?
look, i'd take a picture to make you understand but i unfortunately don't have a good enough camera for that.
Jay Aegis yep, that's it.
Well done
What causes people to have blurred or near sided/ far sided vision?
And what if I came here from Patreon.com? LOL =)
Is there correlation between mood and weather?
Whenever the weather is nice, no matter what my actual situation is, I feel happy. But a gloomy day makes me not want to work. Is that just me? If it's true, why?
So I checked my fingers and I don't have any arches... all whorls and loops
Only 5% of fingerprint patterns are an arch. Rarest of the three patterns.
So neat!
Hypothetically, If one were to build a bridge around the world held with support beams and all those support beams were destroyed simultaneously instantaneously would the bridge be suspended in the air?
heres a #QQ
what is the simplest,cheapest and most lily way we shall colinise other planets, but mainly focus on mars. or the moon, you can choose.
Idk what type my fingerprints are. Technically by the definition they're arches since they start on one side and end on the other but they look like an S
I am pretty sure Hank is mispronouncing "mesenchyme." I know there is no standardized English pronunciation, but I have never known anybody to pronounce the first e in the word as a long /iː/ sound. Maybe I have taken nitpicking too far, but please, it's [mɛzənkaɪm]. By the way, the plural of "minutia," as correctly spelled in the video, is indeed "minutiae," which ends with the /ɪ/ or /aɪ/ sound. OK, I admit that's extreme nitpicking, but maybe somebody reading this comment wants to know.
The science is excellent though, which is what I come here for.
i have looping pattern on all my fingers but one, wich have a loopy looking arch (i damaged this finger at a low age).
*Her -* Honey Come over.
*Him -* Can't have to record video on FP formation.
*Her ~* my Parents ain't home.

wth
QQ: why does heat distort vision? ie. Looking over pavement on a hot road.
I have loops on every finger except my left middle finger ok
Most of July fingers have whorls and the others have the loop shape
I learned about loops, whirls, and arches from Nancy Drew.
so based on this even clones could have different set of finger prints, especial if the womb was different and maybe age difference.
All of my fingers have the loop pattern except for my right thumb, its a whorl. Whyyyyy? I don't understanddd
Luke W Nobody does , yet .
Always wondered about how the "creases" on our joints form, like the crease that allows my fingers bend, or my elbow to bend. Are all of them already on a newborn child, or do they form over time?
That's why I got kicked out of the maternity ward
Anyone else think that the 'arches' pattern is somehow creepy?
what are the chances of two fingerprints (from different persons) beeing the same. i know it is said they are unique but there is also only a finite number of possible fingerprints.

Unless you're the Penguin...
QQ! - Whats stopping another big bang happening in the already existing universe ?
(sorta a universe within a universe)
I have whorls and loops fingerprints
***** oh yeah nice
I have all three but only one with arches.
I plan to sandpaper mine of, so my government can't tag me like an animal.
Thomaster шлепанцы lol wtf
Kevin Z
I'll have to work on my face, because biometric identification, too. Once I can afford it, that is.
QQ - Why do some people think something is disgusting while others don't?
Do we allso have fingerprints on our toes? Im to lazy to look myself.
yes. sometimes calluses kind of obscure them.
TLDR: the FBI gave you fingerprints to track you
a week, a match fire burnt one of my finger. (i dont which finger is called which, but the finger here is the xbox button pressing finger) Now i have a SUPER UNIQUE FINGERPRINT: PLAIN SMOOTH LIKE A RUBBER GLOVE.
What about Adermatoglyphia, a rare genetic disorder where the people don't have fingerprints?
Ba bam! Lol who got that commercial?!
I don't have fingerprints, they melted off after I burned my fingers at a young age
Justanotherintrovert I sincerely doubt that.
I have loops on all my fingers except my pointer finger on the right hand. That on isn't even a single pattern its kind of a mix of all of them...
My fingers are wierd. I have:
From thumb to pinky:
Left hand:
Arch
Swirl

Right hand:

So would clone's fingerprints still be different enough to tell apart in a crime lab? Especially if they are conceived from different mothers.
Asking for the Orphan Black fandom.
They would be different, based on the fact that identical twins still have different sets of fingerprints because they are affected by their position in the womb and the conditions of the womb.
Depends when you cloned them.
I always wonder how do we get the photos of foetuses.........
and it scares me
Hank you have yet to disappoint us my friend
Also the sci show crew you guys are brilliant
I'm nice and symmetrical :D
I have a question!!!! How can babies breath in the womb with the... Amniotic fluid? And then breath air.
One of the first videos on this channel that didn't proselytize for the god of aeons of time that all Evolutionists are required to believe in. Good job!
The five people who disliked this video have no fingerprints.
Can you have both arch and loops
Hunter Courson Yes . On different fingers.
What happened to subbable?
I have loop swirl loop swirl loop on both of my hands...
I have all the different types on different fingers
Thumbs up for whirls...
EHY ARENT YOU MEH TRACHER
Why does spicy food make your nose run? It doesn't seem like it would be all that helpful of a defense mechanism.
Evolutionmine16 your nose doesn't enjoy having capsaicin in it so flushes it away.
Evolutionmine16 capsaicin irritates the mucous membranes... and that's what triggers it. it's essentially just trying to wash away the irritant.
QQ- whst would it be like if you grew qnd your whole body was 5 times denser than normal?
"How Do My Fingerprints Form?"
The same way babby forms, obviously!
Wtf lol
Hmm, Left hand: i've got a loop on my thumb, whorl on my index finger, cant see my middle right now because it's bandaged, but my ring and pinky both have loops. Right hand, (thumb-pinky) Loop, whorl, loopX3. Odd, guess my index fingers matured differently.
How do we get our voices?
I cut my pinky in a freak accident and it's kind of got a slash across it. When my pinky closes up will my fingerprint form again?
Today I learned that I have 8 loops and 2 whorls. Good times!
The finger prints on my left hand are almost an exact mirror to those on my right. Finger for finger. Is this normal? Wouldnt know since I dont go around looking at everyone elses fingerprints.
I would like to know what dot eye is. After staring at the sun you get yellow/green dots in your eye. What is acctually happening?
WTF I have two whorls and eight loops. I always thought they were all similar. It turns out I only ever looked at my print closely on the one same finger (left index).
BTW why are they called fingers? I've never seen them fing.
all of my fingers are whorls, except for my middle fingers, my right pinky and my left thumb, they're loops.
I never really cared to look... but I have loop finger prints on about 6 fingers, and 4 arches (both middle and both indexes)...
Why does mixing colors of paint and light make different results? Like, why are the paint primary colors red blue and yellow but the "primary" light colors are blue red and green? And why does mixing blue and red on paint make a different result than mixing blue and red light?
(thumb to pinky)
Whorl
Whorl
Loop
Loop
Loop
Right hand is the same.
Is it possible that my fingerprint isn't "UNIQUE" Given the great amount of people around the world and the genetic patrons, which are similar among a lot of people. Is it possible that there's someone out there with my same fingerprint?..
So, basically, if I am cloned, my clone will not have the same fingerprints (like in the Judge Dreed movie)?
I have an S-shaped fingerprint on my right thumb, anybody else have an unusual fingerprint?
QQ: Why are Millwall Bricks(rioter's weapon made from a rolled newspaper folded in half) so hard on the fold's sides despite being paper to be able to bludgeon things(or people .-.)
My wife has absolutely no fingerprints. Good thing she isn't a bad girl. But, it was hell getting a security clearance and CWP.
All my fingers are whorls, except my index fingers, which are loops :O
Have you tried to tickle your fingerprints? Especially the ones in your thumb finger?
I'd like to know what happens to your fingerprints when you hurt your finger(s).
I myself touched a soldering iron when I was little, and had blisters on all 5 five fingers, or take something simpler like slicing your finger on the can opener. Does this in any way affect my fingerprints?
They will regrow in exactly the same way as they were before.
!
Lttlemoi But until they regrow - CRIME SPREE!
Lttlemoi i'm not entirely sure about that, when i was little(think 7 years old) i put my right middle finger inside a cigar-ltting device(don't know how they're caled in english, those things in cars anyway) and even now after 10-ish years, my fingerprint is visibly deformed in one point,looking more like a jacket's leather than a fingerprint.
iota-09 It could be that there is some scar tissue under the skin, deforming the skin compared to what it should look like if you hadn't burned yourself.
In my first reply, I assumed that the skin regrew nicely, which doesn't always happen.
Could you guys do an episode on the E. coli Long-term Experimental Evolution Project. I think its really interesting and would love to see an episode about it.
HANK! What are the chances of 2 people having the same finger prints? Lets start with just one finger instead of all 5.
Im an engineer. I was wondering if you guys might look at other forms of green renewable energy, and just kind of idk maybe give us your two cents on what you think will be the future of power. (i person lay am rooting for LFTR (thorium) reactors short term then fusion later.
A question about global warming. So I was in high school, and I had a substitute teacher for my physics class. He then started talking about how global warming is a bunch of bologna. He said so because in Earth's history, there was an Ice Age, and then rapid heating of the earth took place, and then and Ice Age again, and then rapid heating of the earth once again. So what he said was that this is just another time that the earth is heating up, and eventually we will have another Ice Age. Anyone know about this? And yes I know all about CO2 and all the other stuff we humans are doing to heat up earth.
SciShow My finger prints on my left hand match my right hand, except my right thumb and its not even a pattern you described on the segment. O.o ...weird
