If the essence of carcinization is loss of a functional tail, increased mobility on the "ground," and maybe specialization of the first pair of limbs for grasping, hunting, and/or defense, then humans will not become crab because we ALREADY HAVE.
I was thinking when Kyle was talking about opposable thumbs that they sounded suspiciously similar to pincers.
"wait, we're crabs?"
"Always have been."
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start
All we need is the body armor and we're full crab
wait .... yeah that actually makes sense!
I evolved an armored carapace to resist the crushing effects of depression and its working pretty good
@Wotzinator it's flame resistant
@Wotzinator unfortunately it does not resist the natural fatigues of work. Make sure to take rests periodically and don't let other people work you to death.
Now you just need to evolve large claws to fight off the anxiety causing effects of modern life.
I evolved an armored carapace but social media crushed it like a beer can in the Mariana trench.
Come on dude, share, don't be so shellfish
“Crabs as a whole aren't all that powerful. in fact, because of their low skill floor they are a bit of a noob trap. Wich is why you see so many cases of players speccing their characters into the exact same set of abilities without ever actually becoming a dominant meta threat”
- Tier zoo
This guy is a specialist, he knows what he is talking about. I rest my case!
I wish tier zoo would make more vids to show diffrent playstyles
That is why I rolled a human alt and never looked back.
I love this so much
@@StephenDelRosario777 humans are too op we need a balance update (after mass extinction event)
Looking especially Thor-like in this one 🔨 ⚡️ it’s a good look
i was just coming here to make this exact comment.
Trying my best
@@mugwump7049 thats a badass name
a biological phenomenon known as "thorization"
Considering the video topic, I think he is more Jason Momoa here.
I am ready and willing to accept my crab based fate with open claws.
Every rave would be a crab rave
crab people crab people
My skin has slowly been getting harder and my hands are taking on a C shape. Ladies and gentlemen, the process has already begun.
Why clws tho? wouldnt spears or clubs be cooler like the murder clown of the ocean know also as Mantis shrimp?
This sorta talk reminds me of necromorphs from dead space
The terrestrial equivalent would be 'why does everything wolf', the wolf body plan has evolved multiple times and independently as well.
But there are lots of terrestrial crabs
Not to mention trees. Keeps happing. Fish too, we’re closer related to goldfish than sharks are.
mustelification is also prevalent. things become weasels
@@asjmpickle do they also lay/incubate eggs out of the water?
@@MLeoDaalder no
"the branches on the tree of life move and sway in the winds of time." What an absolutely beautiful way to describe it. I think that's my favorite sentence in this video.
"The branches of the tree of life, move and sway in the winds of life"
That's... that is actually really beautiful and poetic. I'm in awe
"Scientists can only speculate as to why is being crab so Gucci" I love that quote
6:35
It was the best thing I've heard all day, maybe all year
.. why to being crab is* so Gucci**
This is a true story and it literally happened 2 weeks ago. So i was minding my own buisness doing homework. All of a sudden I heard a clacking sound similar to that of a dogs claws on wood. After realising I dont have a dog I looked behind myself only to my surprise I see a crab roughly the size of a soup bowl. To my shock, confusion, horror, and laughter I froze ther for a minute before running outside the room. We eventually got the crab out using a box and a towel. For reference we live in Florida, but we dont live next to the beach. We dont know how it got in. So yes I was almost assasinated by a crab and yes I will use that in Two Truths And A Lie. Now whenever I hear that dreaded sound I am reminded of my crab assasin.
Edit: I have been diagnosed with PTCD (Post Traumatic Crab Disorder) And I am still recovering with weekly therapy.
Just be glad it wasn't the immortal snail. ;-)
I think this might be the best comment ever posted on UA-cam
@@SupersuMC At least snails are slow. I couldnt run from my clawed asailant if my life depended on it, which it did. The only reason im still allive is because i was able to jump onto my chair. Then as the crab was shocked from being caught I bolted for the door. It was a miracle there werent any casualties.
Yeah youre a priority target for them now. You might want to keep an eye on the knives in your kitchen. If the crabs get their claws on those it's all over
@@nathanjensen7825 The Crabpocalypse Is upon us.
When I was in high school I played sports, one of the drills we had to do was race but doing a "bear crawl" so on our hands and feet. I always won by (not literally) a mile, but I'd bear crawl moving sideways because I could move so much faster and my coaches would all yell at me to stop 😂
my man inventing a new meta for bear crawling
Because your supposedly to bear crawl not crab crawl!!
Imagine how cool it would be if we had two opposable thumbs instead of one. You could hold an object and do precision work on it like painting or turning screws, all with one hand.
I want this as a mechanical augmentation now 😯
@@revenevan11 I think someone has actually made something like this. Like a glove prosthetic, not a true augmentation though.
We as a species have a choice to make.
Return to monke, or evolve to crab
5:27 this is actually more significant than people might think, because Pandas and Red Pandas are actually not of the same species, despite their names. A panda is a true member of the bear family (Ursidae) whereas the red panda (aka, the fire fox) is the only member of its taxonomic family (Ailuridae).
Hold up; red panda is literally FireFox?!?
@@InventorZahraneh it’s more like a raccoon but they’re sometimes called fire foxes
"They'll work this time..."
It is now my headcanon that Kyle has pulled a Cave Johnson and has an army of genetically-engineered crab people.
Crab Kevin, Crab Kevin, walk like crab, talk like Kevin
If you came here to be injected with experimental crab DNA, we now have a much better test for you: fighting an army of crab-men! Grab a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test starts...
I was literally just talking to my mother about this how a large portion of different species are all slowly re-evolving into crab like specimens
6:40 “Scientists can only speculate as to why being crab is so Gucci” is a sentence I never thought I’d hear
Yeah that one made me snrrk XD
The Stormlight Archive books feature a world where "what if everything, including the people, went crab" is an explored theme. Highly recommend, 10 crabs/10
Can't agree enough
I recommend the entire Cosmere series, but within the greater Cosmere, the Stormlight Archive is easily the best. I recommend reading Warbreaker first since some characters do crossover. And maybe Mistborn since there's some background stuff from that world going on on Roshar.
YASSS BRANDON SANDERSONNNN
Was looking for a comment connecting the vid to The Stormlight Archive, glad I didn't even have to scroll for too long!
OMG another fan!!!! I binged the first four books (all like 5,000 pages) last year and I'm dying for more DX
1:30
Kyle: "That process is called.."
Me: "Crabulation?"
Kyle: "Convergent evolution"
Me: "Oh.."
5:00 I thought your opposable thumb discussion would include the Koala, which has not one but 2 opposable thumbs. Although not opposite each other. Two thumbs on the same side. And, technically, not both thumbs. One of them is just a super jointed index finger that can function as a thumb if needed. Still, it's an evolutionary trait that I wish we had adopted. Could you imagine having optional double thumbs?
Similar to how parrots have two forward-pointing toes and two backward-pointing toes on each foot, enabling them to effectively grasp objects and climb more easily.
This made me laugh, plus the lessons about evolution really crabbed my attention.
Although I believe it was in fact lactose _tolerance_ that evolved, since lactose intolerance is the norm when you look at the global human population.
Iirc this is correct, lactose tolerance is being essentially bred into the population after generations hundreds to thousands of years of cattle farming gave humans access to more milk long after the breastfeeding phase.
Lactose intolerance is the norm when you look at mammals in general.
@@thegreatfusili4673 No animal in nature drinks milk past infancy. You are just plain wrong.
"lactose intolerance is the norm when you look at global human population"
Huh? So most of the human population can't drink milk?
@@jeffbrownstain Pretty sure you need to reread what they said.
You could also interpret the primate shape as the tetrapod variation of the crab, as it gives similar advantages on land to the aquatic crab
Especially humans with our more developed opposable thumbs.
crab people is the penultimate form
nah they're competing with octopi and dolphin's ahem appendage.
It can be whatever it wants as long as it doesn't ask to go to Phaiden Island
I HATE crabs. Those little suckers itch and the cream burns......
My favorite cases of divergent-but-also-convergent evolution happened in both Australia and South America where species adapted to fill niches by becoming similar to unrelated species elsewhere
One of my favourites in convergent evolution is eyes of modern house cats and those of vipers or crocodiles, all who's common ancestor seperated extremely early yet all have adapted vision to be ambush predators in the same way.
I find crabs so weird. They look so unwieldy with their arms like they can't actually effectively grab anything with them. It always seems to me like they are alive by accident.
birds don't have hands and they're doing just fine
@@coins_png Birds are also vertebrates, with a beak and a long neck with mobility. A crab doesn't have the dexterity of basically any avian, also due to being invertebrates - and having less joint movement - by nature, as well as no maneuverable head. In most situations, they are vulnerable - just in different ways compared to a bird.
A bird can fly away, and a crab can hide.
That's the terrible secret. We're all alive by accident no matter what species we are
@@ILCorvo001 yeah i get what you mean :)
but when we say "it looks so impractical" we're simply comparing it to our needs.
i say crabs got just enough to be crabbing, you know.
@@coins_png I cancur.
This video has tought me two things:
1) You either die the creature you are or you live long enough to see yourself become the crab.
2) Kyle's videos are far from being crab, but given enough time and environmental pressure, they might become crab.
We live by the crab, we die by the crab
Kyle, your videos are always a treat, dude. Keep up the good work!
My sibling just talked about some of this but made it sound like other species eventually evolve towards crab/crustacean, and they mentioned one of the benefits of this, is many crustaceans/crabs can endure harsh conditions, and can be found in the coldest waters, and the hotest.
5:00 Some rodents like rats also have at least partly opposable thumbs, and opossums have opposable big toes to help them with climbing. There's even a family of frogs called Phyllomedusa with member species that have true opposable thumbs.
I've seen the little grabbies of otters. Almost like tiny human hands.
And sloths.
as an owner of two pet rats it’s so cute seeing how humanlike their hands are
Cats as well
this is a great video, and i can confirm it's true because I woke up today, and i have crab claws for hands, and a sudden urge to find a shell to hide in...🤔🤔
Careful, you'll find the shell market for us millennials is awful...
Must be hard to manage the pesky zipper when you're trying to take a leak
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and.. it reminds me of HBO’s Crashbox in the absolutely best way. I love it!
I have been waiting so long for a good video on carcinization and OF COURSE it’s Kyle Hill who delivers
On this episode of Diet Thor cannot possible be a supervillain: Will Kyle make a army of crab like kevins? Stay tuned next week to find out.
I saw a 3 clawed lobster at an aquarium recently. First impression: we should be trying to breed more of these for food purposes. more lobster per lobster? yes please.
This makes perfect sense. I agree.
Yuck... lobster and crab is 🤮
@@nickyblue4866 Lol, a ton of people and cultures would disagree with you.
@@nickyblue4866 I'm with you, lobsters are giant aqua-wasps. 😉(Okay, I have no problems with them as animals, but I don't like how they taste.)
"more lobster per lobster?"
Cave, is that you?
I don't think there's ever been a better thumbnail. Thanks for the video, super fun and informative :)
4:09 LOVED THE FACEHUGGER AND QUEEN ALIEN EMBRYO SCANS IN THE BACKGROUND!!!
“Realize social media is destroying society” (I’ve never agreed more)
"Social Media is the last Great Filter" doesn't come up enough when discussing the Fermi Paradox.
@@killfalcon Because it's wrong
What you have to ask is "how is it destroying society?"
I doubt he would ever go into that, being a leftist
@@killfalcon but at the very least, now, someone else than me says it^^
information apocalypse is coming/here.
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 I can also see what you mean with you statement but I believe he has a chance to show his right as a scientist by not allowing bias to show in his study. So we simply have to wait a few videos and see if he shows all points. I personally watch it as I like the humor in his videos and the KIS* method of explanation (keep it simple)
A friend had a polydactyly cat. The cat was able to use extra toes on the front paws as opposable thumbs and was able to turn the taps on if he wanted water.
normal cats can already do that, even without opposable thumbs they still have really good grip.
@@danilooliveira6580 Yeah, sure, but I don't care. I'm still looking forward to welcoming our new multi-dactyl cat overlords. I WILL DELIVER THE BIRDS UNTO YOU! ALL OF THE BIRDS!
@@joelsommers I hate to tell you this, but you are still late, cats are already our overlords.
Convergent evolution has always been fascinating to me! 😊 But... crabitute? Is that a technical term? 🤔 _~giggles~_ Thanks for the smiles, Kyle. I really need them in my life. 🖖🏽 ❤️❤️ 👍🏼
Love the disclaimer at 5:36! Also "return to monkey" gives a whole new meaning to going ape.
*and there stood Kyle Hill upon the mass of crab clones, cackling in the face of the ruined civilization. It's prior residents rising up from their catatonic states, hundreds of thousands of new crabs. He achieved his dreams, now he was the best rock climber of them all.*
Why does everything crab? is the perfect titles for a video about this topic.
This video was put on my recommended because of the crabs meme that I like and now I remember you from some old science channel from years back I can’t remember the name too. And now I’ve watched like 5 videos of yours and they’re awesome. Defiantly gonna subscribe
Imagine looking at all of the computer systems ever created, categorizing them into how they are all related to each other, and then saying yep, that all happened by itself.
How the hell does "a couple crustaceans look like crabs" turn into "EVERYTHING IS CRAB!"
the power of memes
Kids. Its kids.
Confused about stupidity in memes? Blame kids.
Memes
Which also evolved into crabs
aren't there also spiders that go crab?
"another meme requires your attention" sounds like something a robot made by a zoomer would say
this is the future, old man
All life is streaming toward its final form and that form is crab. Crab-like creatures are just closer to the goal, we have a long way to go. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
Reminds me of HG Wells' The Time Machine. The time traveler goes tens of millions of years into the future to discover almost all life is gone save some very large crabs and insects they eat.
Because water-based biology’s biggest weakness is soft and squishy, so obviously a hard shell would be the best way to counter this problem.
The exception being marine mammals
For them them the blubbeir they better
you do have to consider that all of the animals that carcinised already had tough exoskeletal armour
@@matheussanthiago9685 blubbeir. Brilliant.
@@whoshotashleybabbitt4924 Of course! Them them the blubbeir they better!
But what about the humble octopus? That's about as soft and squishy as marine life gets, and they seem to be doing just fine
"Pinch pinch pinch -- they Crabs, Kyle" improved my day
your cinematography and esiting are so fun and entertaining!!
the Frieza crab joke at 1:21 is extra funny because Frieza canonically eats a crab off of Vegetas shoulder on Namek. Extra extra funny from the abridged series dub of that moment.
This is one of those moments where someone saying a word too many times starts messing with your head, crab? Crab.
I think I've heard the word crab more times in this video than I have heard in 20 years of life.
Nice! It's atolways great see a new video on carcinization
widening of the sternum, loss of the tail, specialization of the forelimbs for grasping, faster movement over the ground...sounds like how apes compare to other primates
Forget having a fursona, we all gotta start getting crabsonas now
Meet my new OC, Cara Pace
@@Rebun24 It’s not very original, though. Just a copy of my OC: Karrap Ace.
Evolve your lifeform, turn into crab
This video really crabbed my attention. Well done !!!
Wow, I'm just now finding this channel. Filling a Vsauce shaped hole in my heart. Subscribed.
Wait... So Kevin is just an imperfect clone of Kyle...? I dig it
🤫
Kyle went from a science channel to memes + science. I like it.
my friends: "what are your plans tonight?"
me: 0:59
In order to make a decision that benefits you, and in order to make that decision specifically because it will benefit you, requires the most basic form of sentence, therefore it stands to reason that the force of evolution is aware.
4:06 Alright, cave johnson. Next, you're gonna tell me to fight an army of crab men.
This must mean one thing for sure.. We should expect to see crab aliens at least once, if not more.
Are they dextrous enough to use compelx tools? I'm not sure, haha. I mean, anything is possible. I think the most likely candidates for what aliens might look like are things like otters, haha.
@@joho3799 or an octopus
Depends on what you mean by aliens.........
Are we talking the kind that we go all the way there or the kind that if we don't meet in the middle somewhere they come here?
If the latter most aquatic life is out in part due to launch costs and in part due to most either being too far from the bottom to gather materials to build rockets or too far from the surface to see the stars and want to go there.
Like, full Otterman Empire, galactic conquerers.
Why is this teaching me more about evolution in 10min than my teacher could in a year?
I have always wondered this as well. I know crabs are the simplest form, but there has to be a better explanation for carcinization.
Craps are not the simplest form
Because crab is a template
I wouldn’t say they are the simplest form, but they are very optimized.
Did you watch the video? It’s just convergent evolution, that seems to be the best body plan for already crabish animals
Who would have think that a meme stands on shaky science?
Nice video
*Chants in drawn out monotone: "crab people" "crab people" "crab people" "crab people"
Finally, the crab video. Ive been waiting.
very random, but it finally clicked for me that the 9th episode of the old scifi show Farscape "DNA Mad Scientist" was inspired by carcinization!
Female lead Claudia Black mutates and gets claw-like appendages from hybridizing with Pilot's arm, it's even possible Pilot's design was inspired by crabs,
makes me nostalgic for old-school scifi writing, they really went to the weirdest of places for ideas,
for the record; I never liked that episode but still love the show as a whole
Leaving a "Like" for the Farscape reference
Craaaaab people, craaaaab people, taste like crab, talk like people
Haha I was looking for this one!
This was the best Kyle Hill video I've ever seen :)
As soon as you mentioned opposable thumbs I knew you were gonna talk about Red Pandas, my favourite animal
Future war: An army of Kyle Hill's crab-kevins vs. an army of Cave Johnson's mantis-men. May the maker help us all.
How did you get through this video without any crab rave?
So you're telling me the more crablike I become, the better chance I have of truly achieving crab
*scuttles away*
Dolphins and Ichthyosaurs are a great example of convergent evolution that are seperated by millions of years that i still look back on
Just a quick production question but does Kyle have a fan in the credits scene to give him a more windswept look? That hair looks remarkably mobile for something filmed in a studio!
I assume it's because we're getting into summer and it's just too damn hot
My knowledge of carcinisation is from that one video that pretty much made all of us aware of it, and I saw someone else shortly after say that "everything from the land to the sea eventually evolves into crabs". I'm no scientist, but I am capable of noticing that the video never said that. It just makes me wonder how we can interpret something like that from a source that never said it.
People hear what they want to.....or it was for the memes.
Your videos are fantastic!
I never thought nerdy Jason Momoa is what I needed in my life...
can you do another episode on the convergent evolution of trees? im pretty sure there's more tree convergence than crab
If this reduces the price of crab meat, I'm all for it!
😆👍🤤
The coolest thing I learned about convergent evolution recently is that trees are an example of convergent evolution. "Tree" is a shape life forms can convergent evolve into, the way "crab" is a such a shape for animals, and lots of very different and not very related plants (and even some fungi in ancient history) all converged on the same basic "tree" shape.
Oh, also: hares and rabbits are another example of convergent evolution.
Yes, basicly 'tree' is form, that need structures to radiation gathering antennas and means to be more closer to the sun than another light devouers. And there is only finite ammount of solutions to the problem.
Another great example is fungi fruiting bodies. There are so many classic clades that has been shot to a pieces.
Similar spore spreading structure for similar needs.
And there is even evolutionary reason why most smartphones look 95% similar to each other.
"Crabbing it up in crab town" was so funny to me.
7:42 Based
I only remember that I become an extremely primal animal when I eat crab... as there’s a lot of ripping and sucking, Old Bay, melted butter...and a bib. 😉🤣
@@smithsmithersen1646 not only that but they're also scavengers and feed off all the dead shit on the bottom of the ocean and sea floors. Same with crawfish and prawns/shrimp really
@@CodeeXD If you're eating anything dead, you're "feeding off dead shit". And plants feed off *actual* shit. None of that means anything once it's broken down.
@@CodeeXD that's where the melted butter and Old Bay come in...to make the scavenged death taste even tastier….WAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
@@JenniferMcMahonhawaii78 lol I'm from south Louisiana so we usually just season the FUCK outta the water we boil it in then use seafood dip (basically mayo ketchup hot sauce) mixture lol. My preferred scavenger bug dressings 🤣
Icthyosaurs, Sharks, and Dolphins (Reptiles, Fish, Mammals respectively) all adopting the same body shape is another good example of convergent evolution, as an addition to that point.
Kyle is a great guy and not evil at all, I promise. I’m trustable and not evil either.
Love your humor 🤣 and enjoy your perspective from the science side of life!
"Why does everything crab?"
The question I never knew I needed an answer to lol
Yet Another Awesome video from @Kyle Hill
Love it you went quiet for a minute Kyle I'm in need of more of your science Boi face on my screen please
alright time to send this to arin and dan so they can continue their "return to crab" conversation so dan can freak out again
Waiting for the day I see a video like "explaining why doth my leg move like how a grasshopper do" from Kyle after he's discovered the secrets of genetic manipulation
Walking around in crabshell shoulder pads and wielding a 4x4 with precision and grace, it's the super fast and unstoppable science-beastman!
Embrace the crab, love the crab, BECOME CRAB.

Nice video. PBS Eons's one year ago was nice too.
Speaking of breaking the laws of physics; if the ergosphere of a ringularity drags spacetime along with it, couldn't a, say, kardeshev 1-2 civilization, make a generator powered by that movement?
Sure, but that energy doesn't come from nowhere. It gets subtracted from the angular momentum of the ringularity.
