It's not nearly as useful as they make it seem. Animals that have evolved similar forms have similar DNA, regardless of their evolutionary history. It's even more complex with plants who's genomes are positively massive
I don't understand why some people find it offensive or unacceptable that all life evolve and that we share common ancestors with all life. Life is sacred, and if my long gone predesessor was the same a flower's, I just find it even more beautiful. Imagine the wonder that I can call a flower or an animal my brother and sister!
Gora Neogi All he wanted to say is that life isn’t all that beatifull when you believe that all happened by chance and you have absolutely no purose on this earth...
Gora Neogi thank you for your answer. First of all I have only read his comment and totally understood what he ment without knowing him or anything else. You say that you can enjoy the beauty of the nature much more without thinking of a god... but why? Is it not absolutely awesome and overwhelming to see a bit of his glory and endless creativity? And why do you believe it is arrogant to think that humans are more than an animal? The brain of a human is so much bigger in percentage of the bodyweigth compared to any other animal. Do you really believe that it just takes millions of years and a lot of chance to bring something to the world which is obviously superior to any other creature? Could the ancestor of an ape really build a complex system which includes politics, companies, culture, sport, philosophy and science if we would just give him the time? I doubt it... And then there is the human soul. I am avare that there is no such organ, but a human can compare between good and bad, fair and just. Darwin tried to explain this in the abolition of man, but he didn’t succeed. There is no explanation for this. And let us not forget the phenomenon of language which clearly separates man from the animals... I wish you a blessed life and hope that you understood my argumentation...
I'm sorry but I cannot relate in any meaningful way to a bacteria,fungus,mouse,or piranha. They aren't my brother or sister. But I do enjoy the almost unbelievable diversity in life forms and the beauties of our planet. Evolution and intelligent design both appear to me to be great leaps of faith in just what caused this earth to be the sparkling jewel in our solar system. If that makes me a dummy,then I blame it all on my evolutionary ancestors and mother nature! Peace, brother brachiopod and Merry Christmas sister skunk.!!!
Very informative and concise run down behind the basic principals of evolution and cladistics with plants as the example. This is a very useful teaching tool for trying to get across these concepts which can be difficult for people to wrap their heads around if they haven't been exposed to these ideas before. Good stuff!
You might be interested to visit some day the botanical project in Normandie, The Dawn of Flowers/ L'Aube des Fleurs that is planting out the APG classification of angiosperms up to buxaceae on 5 acres of land. We are aiming to reconstitute ancient biotopes where angiosperms evolved & how they interacted with the other groups of plants.
Hervé! Very good video! You speak English the way I do. It must be because we share Romance languages, Spanish in my case. Great explanation of evolution. I'm looking for the ancestors of flowers. I'd like to know what the proto flower were. Thanks a lot! Merci beaucoup! Greetings from Mexico.
Hi, great content and production. Would you mind sharing with me the program you used to produce the graphics for this video? I would love for my students to generate short videos such as this to convey/apply their understanding of science concepts. Thanks!
Hi David, thanks. The illustrations and animations were all created by a professional illustrator, contracted for the videos in our MOOC (this is one of them). Not sure what program he used, but I can ask. In any case, it required skills that I certainly did not have and it was really nice ot have this opportunity for collaboration with an artist! Cheers, Hervé
Hi! Really nice video. Thank you for posting it! One small correction: From 1859 to the present, there are only 158 years. When you said that we have been thinking of evolution for 250, I guess you meant 150. I don't like to correct people who know more than me. Since this is just a slip but an important one, I thought you might like to change it on the next version. Good luck and keep up the good work! Like I said, really cool video!
Hi Jor! Thanks a lot for your message. You are absolutely right, it's 150 years not 250 years, my mistake. Too late to redo the sound track, but thanks for pointing that out! Cheers, Hervé
If you could talk a little more about the beginning, or what we do know about it, how the first cells became the first sketch of seaweed, it could be very helpful to me.
amazing video, thank you very much for the work you've done! I would simply add that I consider some plants not to be more evolved but I might say more complex :D
Excellent video on the subject. Helpful for my evolutionary survey of plants course. Do you also call the phylogenies "cladograms" - or are they not direct synonyms? Merci beaucoup!
You're very knowledgeable you have cleared up a lot of misconceptions I see other people making I wish more people would watch this I wish you had more subscribers I did subscribe to you so keep up the good work I love plants it is my true hobby my favorite pastime
There are plants that replicate the scent of decomposing flesh to attract flies. How does that happen? Is it natural selection the same as animals? Like the plants that don't smell don't attract flies to spread their seed? How did they evolve from single cell organisms to being able to replicate smells of dead organisms, to attract organisms that evolved to be attracted to that smell? I believe it, I just don't understand how everything evolved at the same time to combat everything else, it's just so complicated and there's so many moving pieces
Could plants have evolved from animals or visa versa or is it that once evolution takes a path there is no way for it to change except in that direction?
The orange fruit was something else before it evolved into an orange, and the apple, strawberries, peach. These fruits were all a different species until the evolved into what what we have today. Just like human being and other animals, were all all a different species and we all evolved to what we we see today. Evolution, fish>amphibian>reptiles> avian/mammals/man.
With as difficult as it is to find fossils of animals with bones to fill in the evolution of the animal kingdom I can just imagine how difficult must be to complete or even create an evolutionary tree with plants when they are so difficult to fossilize.
I dont get how living plants and animals both evolved from the first spark of life that climbed out of the ocean, thats the answere I cant seem to find????
You explained very well. But we don't know exactly how the life begin for plants and animals. Please look a videos about my genius dog poocho. I gonna release more videos. Because you are explaining so well, maybe you can explain why there is only one genius dog the poocho the same applies to people, why we don't have smart people, maybe 1 person on millions is genius and the odher people using somebody's technology and using somebody's stolen ideas, they don't have nothing in them.
You do not explain how the very first species came about at all. You just give classifications you do no explain how the first plant DNA came about and how the very first plant life accured you just explain how it further evolved. The origens is the most important part off evolution otherwise you can still just argue for creationism.
Origin is not part of evolution at all. Evolution explains biodiversity. look at this way, imagine you are watching video explaining how baking bread works, and you complain that baking doesn't explain how to plant wheat
finally someone who uses correct terms to explain evolution. Well done!
Love this video, avoids getting overly technical while remaining extremely fascinating. Great overview for anyone diving into this topic.
i still find it amazing how today's technology and science allows you to read dna. It just gives you so much information about life on earth
It's not nearly as useful as they make it seem. Animals that have evolved similar forms have similar DNA, regardless of their evolutionary history. It's even more complex with plants who's genomes are positively massive
@@stephanvanhoek7529 there's a lot of garbage in the DNA, so that gives it a unique ID to them even if they evolved similar forms
I don't understand why some people find it offensive or unacceptable that all life evolve and that we share common ancestors with all life. Life is sacred, and if my long gone predesessor was the same a flower's, I just find it even more beautiful. Imagine the wonder that I can call a flower or an animal my brother and sister!
Because they fancy humans are the superior and should not be valued by other lives

I can't speak for you people but I was born w a purpose. My parents wanted a boy. They kept having unprotected sex until I was born.

"It is neither up to me or to this plant to say which is more evolved." Very well said! Thanks!!!
Studying for an exam, this did a great job refreshing and explaining! Good video
Nicely explained, the ending was cute 💜

An excellent video, very professional and slick presentation, well done!
Thank you sir for the video.
Love it! Congrats! I Will send to my students! Thanks 🤗
Thank you for the information sir
Thanks! Great video! Watching with my 8 years old son.
Thanks a lot! Great job, I will show this to my Botany students

Thank you very much. It was helpful and informative. 😉🌻
Very terrific. Thank you
Excellent.
Très bien expliqué, merci! Ton anglais c’est exceptionnel, Hervé.
This is a great video, awesome job!
Thank you
Thank you for this video. Gray work, everyone!

Could plants have evolved from animals or visa versa or is it that once evolution takes a path there is no way for it to change except in that direction?
Great video , thank you for the explanation
Ty you really helped me 😊
Merci! Nice video! perfect info and very usefull.
Nicely presented, short & very clearly explained. Thanks Herve, maybe presenting could be a secondary career?
great video thanks for sharing
The Evolutionary. Theory. By Darvin shows. Very. Interesting Phenomena of Plants. Animals. Through Revarssl. Evolution. Thanks. Dear

plants fossils are much more common that vertebrates
How can I convince my mother that Evolution is real?
Nice work.
Love it
Nice video!
nice video
I have some quieres to ask... I think you will give me correct ideal answer... How can I contact you...
Good work
i amazed at earth how it evolve
nice video thank you!
Well done brother
good video!..thank
contratulations! very nice video
wow, its toongood, complcated things explained to understand better
What ia the importance of studying plants evolution?
its fun and intresting and it helps us understand overall how things work
Good one
Animals evolved before plants. Flowering Plants came many years after mammals.
Muy bien!
Thnq so much bro😇✌
fuckin hard core shit guys. right on
I dont get how living plants and animals both evolved from the first spark of life that climbed out of the ocean, thats the answere I cant seem to find????
Nice
My knowledge is big now
same
yo polher you seem like a cool guy
i am
Ya 9/10 plants may be Angiosperms but the biomass of gymnosperms far out weighs angiosperms
1:30.. oldest non fossil...I didn't understand
This is literally me when a zombie apocalypse starts
Good
Thanks, i learned a lot from this :)
Well plz explain coconut tree 😐 ... How tree moved all over the world ?😐 ...
Tectonic plates moving around
Coconuts float
moses aren't vascular...
G nice

Pretty sure plants are far ahead of evolution than humans.
