I had psychosis before. I learned how fast you can just go primal and behave from pure instinct. I hate to say it was a good learning experience because it was absolutely terrifying.
Damn. Hope youre feeling better now!
I understand your experiences and my heart goes with you. I don't have full psychosis but I've experienced psychotic symptoms and is scary. As you say the flight or fight mode turns on and is a body reaction that isn't controlable.
I have borderline personality disorder and my my emotions in extreme ways. Mood swings are basically every certain hours and I know what it is to have an acute mood swing that leads to a crisis related with that emotion that went out of control. I can't predict or completely plan a day because there's a percentage of a crisis coming. I'm quite strict with my meds and therapy to help me cope and handle my crisis better. Is quite scary too. I hope you're doing better!
I have full blown dissociative PTSD episodes and I reckon it's similar, although not quite the same (true psychosis seems much more unpleasant, especially when they end up in my ER). For me, it was a complete loss of control of my actions and reactions. My body and cognition were completely disconnected.
@@fevre_dream8542 I feel you. I have some PTSD and your body just react, you're not even capable of control it until you're taught in therapy some strategies and emotional tools. Therapy also opens the "wounds to clean them up", so you can heal.
My psychotic symptoms are disassociation and derealization. Few times I've experienced auditory and visual hallucinations. Also paranoid thoughts are so common, I have to help myself to perceive reality without some of the distortions my mind plays. A technique I learnt in therapy to journal this feelings and thoughts helps me track when this happens if my thoughts are being distorted or a logical.
I appreciate deeply your willingness to shared your experiences.
@@Mtz2604
Hey, if being open about it helps decrease some of the stigma and reaches out to people who are in similar situations, it's basically my duty to do so. I feel that the world has a lot to learn from people like us, especially because our experiences give us unique perspective and insight into the suffering of others.
Yeah I never really clicked with a therapist, but probably gonna try again this year. The distorted self-image and rumination are getting annoying at this point lol.
never underestimate what tiny differences affect on the larger scale. I mean if you take two completely identical vehicles but in one you remove the spark plugs, they're nearly identical but one will start and other won't.

I love this channel because you never shy away from simply saying, "nobody really knows." I think sometimes "science" is presented as all-knowing, but it's not, and that's the point. It's the pursuit of knowledge that illuminates the unknown.
Science is generally only presented as "all knowing" by media that doesn't understand science. You'll almost NEVER hear a scientist use the word "proof." But you see it all the time in articles written by journalists with no science education.
Science has never been presented as all knowing, it's exactly that misconception that causes so many people to reject it.
Science is the pursuit of knowledge and truth. We study the evidence we have available with the tools we have at our disposal to come up with the best answers we possibly can at any given moment.
I just read you put science is the pursuit of knowledge in your post as well haha. 👍

As a long time technical writer over time at IBM, Intel, and Google I applaud the switch from ALL CAPS (ugh) to sentence case (lower case letters with initial capitals) which research has shown is much easier to read. And it is! Plus, Hank just keeps getting better and better at presenting and the scripts are top notch. Best science channel in the business (which is no mean feat given the quality of the competition). Bravo, signori! :-)
The way they're doing it now seems like it's adapted from the traditional bullet point format, only MORE CAPITALIZATION and **BOLDER FONTS** both indicate higher tiers in the hierarchy. This meshes well with the fact that the longer points with all the specifics generally end up in lowercase, and those are the ones where legibility matters the most.

I think flatter faces also aid in communication by making it easier to both lip-read and scan the face for emotions at the same time, because they're on the same focal plane. I don't think people realize just how much lip-reading they actually do in noisy environments, but as my grandmother once said, "I'm glad I got new glasses, I can hear so much better".
I think, evolutionarily, the phenomenon of flattening of face, was due more to our ancestors descending the arboreal life to cross the plains; as it facilitated a broader scope of range, including not only stereoscopic vision, but also increased abilities in sense and direction of scent and sound.
@@benzell4 Flattening the face actually decreases the ability to sense the direction of a smell. Also, a few of us can flare one nostril at a time, but pretty much every cat or dog can.
The question that has been in the back of my mind for years is this, 'is our brain complex enough to understand itself' and I suspect it isn't..
I suspect that's a matter of how you define "understand" here. Can a single human brain understand every bit about how a human brain works? Absolutley not, too much information at once. Can we someday collectively, like the simple molecules that make up DNA, come to understand roughly how the brain works? Maybe, I don't know enough to say. Fascinating question.
Depends on your level of abstraction. You can never know enough about your brain to predict what you will think in the future (though theoretically some hyper-advanced computer with a sufficiently good enough model of your brain could), but you don’t need to be doing that to understand something. Many phenomenon are due to the complex interactions of tiny particles and are thus without ridiculous computing power and unrealistically good knowledge of the state of as a system and are thus unable to be fully predicted. Yet despite that most people would agree they understand how water flows. I know how a computer and neural network works even though I can not predict their behavior with 100% accuracy.
With neural networks we’ve even started to figure out what the various paths of neurons are looking for despite it being effectively a black box for most people who make them. We don’t have to understand the brain fully by ourselves, we just need to get to a point where we have good enough abstract model which we can use as a guideline for more realistic models dealing with specific elements of the brain, along with some computing power to check for unforeseen phenomenon.
There's a field of study that has developed judgments on what we can and can't comprehend based on IQ levels. It may be mostly pseudoscience, but one said that you need 140+ IQ to be able to invent something new yourself. Humans are just below that sweet spot, IMO. Maybe .01% of the population could, but lack the necessary educational background.
We are most definitely not. That’s why brain surgery is such a big deal/why you have to be partially awake to make sure they didn’t do something wrong.
I'll say nothing but the obvious, but it's still an interesting reflection. An entity containing all the knowledge that is needed to understand itself is a type of self-referential paradox that is by principle impossible to surpass. In other words, an individual will never be able to understand themself completely, just by logic.
However, that's the thing, you don't have to gather all info about yourself to understand and manage yourself reasonably well. Besides, as others said, we have computers, multiple individuals, ways to record knowledge outside of our brains. I think that may be possible one day, it depends on what technology at the moment will avaliable out there to understand the brain, if it can be understood and predictable at the first place.
I've heard Neil Degrasse Tyson talk on this year's ago, something about that little DNA difference makes a huge overall distinction, also comparing it to say a hypothetical alien more smarter and advanced than us. It was really fun to hear him talk on this
Science no, politics of human are really try to convinced the people we are creat by ourself by monkey ,and free for doing not right but wrong only , for not involving of god but science .
How do people still not believe that we where made in a lab by aliens ?? This is proof enough
There's one rather hugs difference: chimps have 48 chromosomes and we have 46, suggesting that two pairs of chromosome fused in humans or that a lot of interegene material in u7mans was lost. That means expression will be different even if the actual set of genes are similar.
Two pairs fused. They actually identified which human chromosome equates to which two chimp ones a while back - when imaged correctly, you can still see a visible line where they fused, it's really neat! 😊 I forget which chromosome pair it was, but I remember seeing the image and being blown away by how clear it became. We've come a long way since Rosalind Franklin 's x-ray crystallography, huh.
Humans 2nd chromosome is the product of a fusion. We can tell because theres a small remainder of a Centromere on the long arm of it. It's crazy to think that the remnant will build up mutations over time and eventually get erased.
If you need evidence of how complicated a bunch of switches switching other switches in response to inputs can get - well I'd say "look at a computer" but you're already doing that.
I keep thinking this, too. DNA is just a bunch of interpreted code that self-organizes protein functions into the actual active program, and it's those functions which are still hard for us to read and write. This was made crystal clear waaaay back in one of the Crash Course Chemistry classes. It's all just chemistry programming, moving molecules around using physics.
@Sovereign OK Not especially, because that particular word is generally understood to imply intent. It could work well as an analogy as long as the limitations are made clear.
Actually, someone printed out your comment and showed it to me, and then copied down this reply that I said, confirmed that it was what I wanted to reply to you with, and then sent it to you, so I saw your message and responded to it all without me personally looking at a computer.
(Not really though.)
@@drdca8263 Sneakernet UA-cam Comments. :)
that is a good analogy actually, because in a way if the DNA is the code, that means it also need a computer to run, the computer would be the cells that house the DNA. how the DNA is read, expressed and how the proteins are built and used, are just as important as the DNA itself. flip a few switches in your liver to turn those cells into neurons, and you won't get a second brain, you will die.
Epigenetics is definitely the future of the field. This is just another example of significant it is to our understanding of ourselves. I can't wait to learn more on this in the upcoming decades.
Right, just like gain of function research?
Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should. We are going into territory that will potentially erase us, because we think we are soo smart
@@2wados416 Or provide life saving epigenetic therapeutic treatments for debilitating diseases. Many chemotheraputic cancer treatments are in fact epigenetic treatments, unfortunately these are not a "one size fits all" solution. Translational science can use epigenetic research to create patient-specific cancer treatments that are more effective with fewer negative side effects. The problem is not in doing the research, it's in how it's applied.
@@jpmaree7753 and when we have no ethics or morals behind what we do, we get crackpots like you who suggest 'make it all happen, science, yay' there are others beneath the surface rubbing their hands, at how this can be used.
Gain of function research is a perfect example. You say research we are doing will positively affect more than it will negatively affect? Taking to account millions dead worldwide, and hundreds of millions globally in lockdown, economies grinded to a slow crawl past 18 months? Mate, get a reality check.
Look at the state of the world today, its all about our endeavors deeper into trying to play god.
I'll repeat. Just because we can do something, does NOT mean that we should
@@2wados416
"crackpots like you" - you mean a published scientist with 4 degrees in life science, including a Masters in genomics and a PhD in epigenetics. Also, where did I suggest "make it all happen, science, yay"? What I mention and suggest is that research into epigenetics and genomic science greatly benefits society and the human race. Of course, scientific research must take place within clearly set ethical and moral guidelines, to which the vast majority of research does conform too. Of course, there will be unethical applications of science (or as you so eloquently put it "rubbing their hands") - we see that happening in nations where ethical guides are not in place.
Regarding "gain of function" studies - these studies are used to elucidate functions of unknown genes, elucidate structures/interaction of molecular complexes, or to engineer proteins/enzymes to better perform a function, e.g. understanding the difference between chimpanzee and human serotonin-producing enzymes and how this can help people with crippling antisocial behavioural or neuroticism issues. Most of the gain of function studies can not be translated beyond the molecular level to be used by " others beneath the surface rubbing their hands at how this can be used" for nefarious purposes. It is also used to research disease mechanisms to better understand how mutations affect molecular evolution causing a disease to be more pathogenic. By doing these research studies scientists we can be better prepared for epidemics, like the one we are in the midst of now. If research on the virus that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002 did not continue, as you would seem to suggest, we would've been at a major disadvantage for combatting COVID. Indeed, the research conducted on the SARS virus gave us a huge advantage in the creation of the vaccine that is at this moment saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Your comments suggest that this should not have been done; would you rather have countless lives be devastated by the virus? Your entire argument is based on this.
"Taking to account millions dead worldwide, and hundreds of millions globally in lockdown, economies grinded to a slow crawl past 18 months?" I presume you refer to the COVID pandemic we are facing at this moment. You do realise that COVID is a zoonotic virus, i.e. a disease that jumped the species barrier and infected humans? It was not cooked up in a lab somewhere, there would've been clear fingerprints of man-made genetic alteration in the viral genome of which there is no genomic evidence. Some examples of zoonotic diseases that caused millions of deaths include influenza viruses (like the 1918 Spanish Flu, bird flu, swine flu, etc.), the Bubonic plague (that killed between 30 - 60% of the European population), HIV/AIDS (more than 25 million deaths since 1981), Lyme, Ebola... The list is shockingly long. Would you rather science do nothing about this and let people simply succumb to these dreadful diseases? In fact, gain of function studies help scientists understand and be better prepared for events exactly like the one we are in at this moment. But I digress. Coming back to your comment of " millions dead worldwide, and hundreds of millions globally in lockdown, economies grinded to a slow crawl past 18 months" - when the 2008 economic recession occurred the FIRST thing that was cut was funding into scientific research which was, as society now realise, to the detriment of the entire world. Unfortunately, when money gets tight, science suffers. That is not an opinion, but a fact. As a scientist, I can attest to that.
"Look at the state of the world today, its all about our endeavors deeper into trying to play god." - scientists do not want to play God. We are curious, inquisitive - we want to know how something works, a fundamental trait of the human condition. At the level of primary research (of life sciences), we want to elucidate molecular mechanisms, to find out how something works & why it happens. Like for example figuring out how glucocorticoid (a medicine) receptors (in the cell) interact with different proteins and substrates to help explain cancer progression. It provides insight into why the same cancer treatment can cause tumour regression in one patient but causes cancer to become exponentially more aggressive in another.
"I'll repeat. Just because we can do something, does NOT mean that we should" - this implies that none of the amazing things made possible through scientific research should have taken place. This goes back thousands of years. The grain in our bread, the meat in our burgers, the cheese in our sandwiches - all have their roots in science even though the ancients did not have the technological advances we have today or the vast wealth of scientific knowledge that we have at our disposal.
Circling back to your comment of me suggesting "make it all happen, science, yay" (which is entirely inaccurate) - scientists do not make science happen for "the hell of it". It's based on the scientific method: Oberservation > Hypothesis > Reseach/Testing > Data Analysis > Conclusion. It aims to acquire knowledge in a verifiable way to explain natural phenomena. It's all around us. Without it, the human race will still be in the "dark ages". The technology you are using, the propulsion you use to commute, the medication you take, the food you eat - everything has its roots in science.
Lastly: "Mate, get a reality check." - my reality is checked, to a much more comprehensive level than you may think. I suggest you check yours. Do some research; not scanning a few youtube videos (although those produced by SciShow is very reliable) or glancing at a wiki page. Go read primary scientific publications, ask critical questions, use google scholar, go to lectures, talk to scientists. If none of these options are viable for you, I suggest you move somewhere with no technology, forage for food, and cut all technological and scientifical advances from your life.
@@jpmaree7753 ignore these types of people. They are the definition of dunning-kruger effect.
While we're semi-debunking DNA percent facts, how accurate is the "We share 50% of our DNA with bananas" thing?
like he mentioned, we are what we eat, and what we eat often have the same proteins needed to live. Like, genes that convert glucose into energy is going to be in basically everything because everyone gets their food from earth, which has glucose as an energy molecule. Or various Vitamins. or proteins that help cellular duplication. dunno if its 50%, but it is a lot.
We have a lot in common with bananas. We are both multicellular. We breathe oxygen to metabolize our food (bananas need CO2 to make their food, and then need oxygen to get energy from it). We reproduce sexually.
We share 50% of our _Genes_ with bananas and other plants, but crucially _NOT_ DNA. Here's a good explanation:
www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/interviews/mythconception-we-share-half-our-dna-bananas
@@GeorgeNoiseless hmm. Thank you.
It's actually more like 30% but whatever, there are also bacteria that have wayyyy more chromosomes than we do basically meaning they're more complex and more highly evolved than ours
I think a lot of people glossed over the fact that we can literally GROW BRAINS IN A DISH now!

Done that at work to some level. We've been working on treating Parkinson's Disease by growing some of the patient's own brain cells in the lab before returning them to the brain. Barely started human testing yet but results with monkey's were promising.

Considering we lost the entire short arm of a chromosome, including the centromere...? The other two big things are: 1) We had a second duplication of the brain size genes, giving us 8 copies, versus their 4. 2) We have had the section of brain just in front of our occipital lobe switch from visual to auditory information processing. They have better visual memory than we do, as proven in the Japanese chimp studies with numbers flashing on a screen. When randomly presented on a touch screen, they can recall up through 9, in proper order, while no human can recall more than 6. Meanwhile, we can recall things we heard for decades.

Hum, please learn english @@SujitKuRaita
Coming from a STEM focused degree biology feels like alchemy sometimes, I can’t even begin to imagine how they come to these conclusions
It's like super advanced computing but all we have is a crude, slow version of hexedit, no source code, code comments, or documentation.
As a biological scientist, and specifically someone with a Ph.D. in molecular biology (the particular subfield of biology at work here), how is a hard science that requires those studying it as undergrads to (typically) take a year of physics, 2+ years of chemistry, math through calculus +/- statistics, just as *background* for studies in their own scientific field (biological sciences), not a STEM field? The S is for science after all.
I'm not jumping on you folks specifically, but more on perception that STEM equals computer technology or electronics, created by what may be an excessive emphasis on these topics to the exclusion of certain sciences, specifically biological and chemical sciences, and even most of physics. I understand this is an idea you've been given through example, not a snub towards these sciences. But we need to either remember they are included or should just admit that science, for the most part isn't actually included and engineering means electrical engineering and just call it TeEM.
But I don't think we should, if anything the past year or so so has taught us is that we need more bioscience literacy not less. And with a little more wide ranging background in the gamut of stem fields, it might be more clear how we approach studying many of these topics.
Molecular biology has been historically, among the most systematically approached fields in biology (see Platt's classic 1964 paper on Strong Infererence test.scripts.psu.edu/faculty/m/j/mjg9/Guiltinan_Lab_Website/Publications_files/Strong%20Inference.pdf). Although the mechanisms are somewhat different in eukaryotes (attenuation is not a possible mechanism for reasons which should be obvious if you understand how it works), we typically begin our understanding of regulation of gene expression with the lac operon as a simple model. Then move on to eurkaryotes. Here's a decent overview of the topic in eukaryotes that doesn[t require much background www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/gene-expression-and-regulation/regulation-of-gene-expression-and-cell-specialization/a/overview-of-eukaryotic-gene-regulation , After that you can start getting into the nitty gritty of the mechanisms underlying different levels of regulation, for example, you could start on enhancers, silencers, and transcription factors. (You may also note that some mechanisms like RNA interference that are totally natural mechanisms leveraged in agricultural biotech are made out to be 'unnatural' by anti-GMO activists) To see the form of the initial experiments to define regulatory elements, go look up promotor bashing (simple intro: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_bashing).
With just a little bit of understanding I'l bet it will start looking more like chemistry than alchemy.

I would go to a vet with an injury ... a large mammal specialist, anyway. Why not?
I learned a long time ago that all mammals have 7 neck vertebra, the gene for this is the same between all of us, but their shape and size is so different... So for me, its the old thing, we have lots of the same stuff, but that tiny little bit of difference interects with the great similar as a whole in vastly different ways (Video more or less says that it seems). I like to think it links all of us species together, we're all the same, at the most, but our little bits of uniqueness make each of us special.

Are you sure humans have the ability to do long term planning? I haven't seen much proof of that
In comparison to other animals? we have "long-term" planning
See: a skyscraper
We're still animals with dumb instincts, give us a break haha
But seriously, we're probably fu**ed with climate change
@@metametodo If I know nothing of humanity it is that we can survive most anything. Except heat.
@@chrisb.7787 We can _manage_ it, somewhat. Sweat, reflecting cloth saving you in the Sahara. But we can't really manage what isn't in front of us.
There's a reason that companies intentionally being continuously in debt, and having no savings for emergencies, is kinda common practice in the west. That problem has to do with not being ready for 2020, or other catastrophes.

I've always been amazed by how different gorillas are to us, especially when it comes to their diet. They build these HUGE muscles while eating things that we can't even begin to digest. They seemingly have more in common with cows than humans when it comes to what they eat.
The big difference is fire and cooking.
@@grenangle Full grown male gorillas eat up to 60 pounds of raw vegetation per day and a lot of the plants they consume would be toxic for us. It's not like they just eat a raw version of what we eat.

"Try a change, see if it works. Try a change, see if it works. Rinse, repeat."
Sounds like a brute-force attack to me, and given the number of variables, it might take a while!
You noticed! Yes, there is a lot of brute force, though because of what we know from prior work we tend to have a pretty good idea what to target. Think of it as well informed brute force.

The bit about mice with human genes made me think of story I read once called "Flowers for Algernon".
It was a very sad story. They made a movie out of it called "Charlie" that was a bit of a tearjerker also.
I think there are about three versions of that movie/story.
Amazing as always

Really loving the new visual style of your videos.
Key word.
Precise
We essentially traded strength for balance and precision.
I wonder what a future ancestor that is 4% different from us results in
it depends on how we evolve. Remember evolution is not a gradual building towards a better, more perfect form. The way the world is changing right now who knows. Maybe mammals will become acclimated to the north and south poles where it'll be cool enough to not cook in our own flesh. Or we might even begin to evolve into a cold blood species. Imagine that.
It all depends on who survives to have children.
While I know nothing about the subject, but this best seen in the hands.
Every other ape may be stronger than you and I, yet we have more precise motor control.
Have you ever seen a monkey try and throw something
@@glenngriffon8032 environment aside, we could likely control and manipulate our own evolution
I'd like to think we have near infinite potential. If we don't cause our own demise first
@@hououinkyouma5539 i agree. As I said in previous scishow comment section you give our species an idea and time and we'll do things thought impossible.
And yes I'm aware of our fine motor control. What's funny is that if you turn that control off in our brains we do actually have enormous strength in our bodies but our brains limit our ability to tap into it because if we did we could seriously injure ourselves.
We do occasionally see a human who manages to push past this brain lock like people of average strength being able to lift a car up off a loved one or withstand a lot of physical punishment and pain.
Our descendants will be cavemen again.
What fascinates me most about DNA is how scientists can ever be certain what differences make a different species and what differences just occur between different individuals of the same species. It always seems like they're studying the genome sequence of one individual chimp and compare it to one individual human. Or have we actually figured out a "generic chimp genome" and a "generic human genome"? 🤔
I wondered about this too ... seems like, before we say, "This is a chimp gene", we would have to be clear that no humans have it, and vise-versa.

Anyone else getting some Flowers for Algernon vibes? Lol
How do they account for individual genetic variance when mapping a genome? Do they use multiple individuals sequence the genomes and average them out? Or do they only use the genetic information that is ubiquitous across all the individuals of a given species when comparing genomes of different species?
A bit of both, depending on the mathematical model :)
Kind of like average height calculations. Do you account for women and men being of different height, or not? What about age?
It's a great question which shows why it's super important to look at the research methods ourselves, from time to time :)
While an important question, humans are actually really really similar genetically speaking, so I don't think that variation will be that big of a problem, but I'm sure they are taken into account.
@@sion8 Even funnier moment is when both species share part of variability already within. (like with blood groups which other primates more or less share)
@Pojka
Well, that's because external variability doesn't mean they aren't genetically similar, because, in dogs (at least), we have inbred them which does often intensify certain features.
Good question. He does not explain the how. The how will show that you cannot put a puzzle with billions of pieces together if you don't have the final pic. So how did they figure how which sequence is the original?

@@SujitKuRaita Well what would you have instead of understanding DNA and how it works? You can try to understand DNA and believe in God. There are people who are Christians and do this. Or do you believe studying DNA is for the fact of studying it anti-Christian?
Excellent!!
Are you saying 4% of me doesn't want to return to monke impossible
What percentage is denying the "Skip monke, return to fishe" urge?
More than that, you have 23 pairs of chromosomes. All other Great Apes have 24 pairs. Our chromosome 2 is essentially their chromosomes 12 and 13 joined head to head.
"At the protein level we're way more similar to chimps than we are different."

I have just subscribed. You have done a great job of explaining really complicated stuff to normal peop
I like the idea of comparing genes to books. And that changing something small like a paragraph or a few words are responsible for the more obvious differences. After all a sentence that says “hair on the body excluding growth on the face.” Is completely different from “hair on the face excluding growth on the body.” Despite containing the exact same words.

Hank, I am adopting you. Court proceedings have already been initiated. I am willing to share custody with your present family and country, with the clause that the two families/countries will alternate holidays each year. The exception to this clause will be Thanks Giving as you will soon be half Canadian and our celebration is in October, thus allowing you to attend both. You have gained 10 siblings, most of whom have your wit and ability to deliver it in the same manner. Those that do not, bear the daunting responsibility of keeping/springing the rest of us out of jail. You are without peer in your ability to allow those of us whose genome sequences vary only enough from a chimp's to allow us to mostly walk upright, to enjoy and absorb science in a way that we can understand thus instilling the curiosity to jump head first down the rabbit holes of learning more. Kudos and thank you, love Mom (V2).
