Dolphins are very intelligent! Within a few days of captivity they can train a human to stand at the side of the pool and feed them fish!
underrated comment
Absolutely brilliant. The are essentially water-cats.
I've heard that
So long and thanks for all the fish?
I offshore fish in south Florida. There's a great big male bottle nose that makes his living stealing fish from fishermen. He's easily identifiable because of a notch in his dorsal fin. He'll take live bait off your hook, eat any fish you have on, and come up and show you. Although frustrating you can't help but love him. If he's around at the end of the day I'll hand feed him any leftover bait. Incredibly smart and a lot bigger than you might think.
Come up and show you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤣
Lol there's one in SW FL that does the same. It's amazing how they always avoid the hook and just rip the fish off
I'd be eating that dolphin for dinner.
It's well known how dolphins sleep. The entire pod will swim leisurely around in a circle near the surface, young on the inside and protected; the outside eye (which is linked to the other side brain, same as humans) will stay awake and alert to danger for about 20 minutes to a half hour; they surface regularly to breathe; then the entire pod will reverse the circle and do the same, sleeping the other half of the brain. I can't believe this guest doesn't know this if he worked with them so much. That 'big yellow thing' on the top front of the sperm whale's head is spermaceti oil, which they were hunted for. It's used as a resonating chamber for their sonar. It's not brain tissue although the dolphin and whale brains are MUCH larger and with more convolutions than humans. The more convolutions, the greater the neuronal evolution and the greater the computing power. They are MILLIONS of years ahead of us; having once been sea animals and then land animals and returned to the sea back when 'humans' were just tree shrews. A large part of their brains are used for sonar, equivalent to the amount of neuronal power that in a human are used for sight, hands and the bottom front of the face (mouth and tongue). Their sonar is as acute as our xray machines are; they can discern a mammal (with lungs and therefore not a fish) in the water and can tell not only that another mammal is pregnant, but the sex of the fetus. If we're going to someday want to communicate with aliens, we better start with the 'alien' animals we share the planet with; the Cetaceans are mammals and thus should be easy, but if you want REALLY alien weird, look at the octopi and squid.
And something else, if you want 'Ancient Aliens' type quotes; from Alex Collier, claimed alien contactee: "If humans make extinct these species, The Cetaceans, they will lose all standing in the Universe."
We are being tested and we are failing horrifically.
I believe I’ve heard him or someone else speak about the way they sleep with half of their brain at a time in the documentary The Cove which he had a large part in making.
TLDR I believe he is aware of how they sleep
Owls and octopus are seeded species.
There's no telling what they could do if they had hands.
Awesome
having once been sea animals and then land animals and returned to the sea back when 'humans' were just tree shrews. LOL
Ok pal. Imagine being millions of years ahead of us and needing to saved from sea world.
To be fair, a larger brain isn’t by default a more intelligent brain. It’s usually related to body mass. Men have bigger brains than females on average, but that’s because they have bigger body mass. In fact, a smaller brain can be more intelligent because its neurons have more efficient routes amongst themselves.
Surface area is more accurate than mass. Ya don’t want a smooth brain, those wrinkles indicate cognitive potential
So men have bigger brains than women but they’re not smarter? I’m assuming if you look at this objectively without the threat of militant feminism holding you at gunpoint you’d have to agree that as a whole men are smarter and more intelligent people that have changed history have been men. We’re also the dominant sex and we wouldn’t be so if we were stupider than women.
Well that’s not what this guy heard on ancient aliens! lol
@@CamBooneSmall skull and compact wrinkly brain will be next step in evolution it already is in comparison to older versions of Homo Sapians.
It's also how it's structured. Birds and dinosaurs for example
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Hitchhiker's guide said that dolphins were smarter than humans. That's funny
Danny Jones saying he hasn’t watched Ancient Aliens is the most surprising thing I’ve heard this year.
Wen I was in rehab in 2011 that show was the highlight of my week 😂
Reckon he's lying to dodge the controversy
Ancient aliens is a load of bullshit.
I haven't either
Ancient aliens is a total load of bullshit.
More proof that the explosion of microphones has led to more noise than knowledge being communicated.
So true.
What is it exactly you disagree with in this case?
@@mr.monitor. This "case" goes nowhere, proves nothing. Teaches us nothing. There's not a shred of hard evidence that cetaceans are super-duper intelligent. All supposition and wishful thinking. The expert is obviously past his prime -he's cognitively impaired and loses his train of thought mid-sentence. The interviewer, the Joe Rogan wannabe, has no preparation for this subject and cannot ask an intelligent question. Science will tell you that neither large brain size nor neuronal connectivity is a good indicator of intelligence. We're left with the fact that a bunch of mammals swim around in circles endlessly, never accomplishing anything in the way of civilization. Hence the conclusion that this "case" is much ado about nothing. I was agreeing with another comment observing how fatuous and vapid this "interview" was.
We never hear why we should believe that dolphins are more intelligent than humans. Saying that they ought to be with such big brains after 65 million years of evolution is not a statement about how things actually are. Nor does the fact that they can stop breathing under stress and drown necessarily indicate that they understand death. There could well be something else going on. I would have liked to hear more about how they actually demonstrate intelligence.
“So long and thanks for all the fish”… 😆
If dolphins had hands, we’d be sending the Navy to protect salmon fishing grounds from machine gun armed Orca pirates instead of the current Chinese fishing fleets 😂
😂😂 🐋 🐬 🤯
Dolphins have no need to modify their environment to thrive. They are already perfect. It is us humans who are born so incomplete and maladjuated that we need to work and invent stuff just to survive.
Dobermans are more intelligent than 30% of humans I encounter
Lol 😆 🤣
Technically speaking there must be some dumb dobermans out there
I'm not sure if they are more intelligent but close. However they have languages (which is proven through language theory) and their language may be light years ahead of us since they can form images using sound into each other head. Love your channel, Danny. Better than JRE but so underrated.
Saying any animal is more or less intelligent than a human being is a huge stretch. We can’t quantify the intelligence of an animal. We can speculate on animals that are self aware through a series of tests. However, we inventing the test already puts as at an advantage.
Yet when hearing speech our minds for pictures of spoken words.
No I think our language is pretty top tier.
Dolphins do nothing.
@@juliettek.9440 yeah even if they had the genetic and physical potential to become advanced in their thinking, they are limited by their environment and body.
Without the catalyst it's basically unrealized potential.
Even other modern humans in isolation (think Sentinelese) are probably nowhere near average in IQ or obviously technology. We will probably have a colony in another solar system and they'll be still in the stone age. Also dolphins will still be dolphins.
@@GustavoHeinleinyou do nothing
Dolphin: I don't have to work and can chill all day.
Me: That's fair but you also don't have any money.
Dolphin: Neither do you.
Thanks for sharing these videos, Mr. Ric O’Barry is really interesting to listen to.
How large would my brain be if I had echolocation ability and cold-temperature resilience?
I mean in 2024, I believe it...our fellow humans are utterly incompetent and I'm not excluding myself.
We were slaves for aliens to mine the Earth for gold. What's creepy is that when you look at mountain ranges across China and other places they look like they have been mined out.
A professor in college told us she had a record of Whale sounds and when she played it, her Siamese Cats would bounce off the walls.
I think there’s better sources of gold out in space than earth. We’ve detected 7 stars that have the infrared signatures associated with Dyson sphere construction in our Orion arm not explainable by any known or theoretical natural circumstances. Our future will probably be sending drones throughout our galaxy to watch out for the developments of hostile AI to prevent nasty interstellar surprises
Loved this episode. Sad thing is, I did a book report in High School (1987) on exactly what he’s talking about and nothing has been done about it.
Nothing has been done about your book report? I'm shocked!
I believe Einstein watched all the episodes of "Ancient Aliens" before he developed his theory of relativity. The Dolphin Space Program is also starting to make some progress after 65 million years.
If humans were so intelligent, we wouldn't be destroying our planet.
😂
@@dihskursiv He's not wrong.
Great point
@@Ntwadumela-HeWhoGreetsWithFire You think far more of humanity than I if you think we are capable of destroying this planet.
We also wouldn't have thousands of thermonuclear weapons pointed at each other with an itchy trigger finger
Remember the time dolphins split the atom
Yes, if you’re not creating war and weapons that could destroy the earth we live on you’re not intelligent, thank you for your big brain contributions.
Okay genius, how are they supposed to split the atom without technology? And how are they supposed to create and manufacture technology without a humanoid body? They have no arms or legs, one can't build or craft without hands.
Yeah, and it is because we are so intelligent, not because we kept doing things just because we had tools to do it and then some people kept dying from it - scientific development in a nutshell. Our technological progress is more about having hands than some special magic of human mental capacity.
Remember that time the dolphins let trump steer many combined pods
@@jankom.7783 i mafe a similar comment to yours but my comment was deleted becau youruve is gay.
Self induced afixiation is a horrible way to die. Its painful and panic sets in to the brain.
Try holding your breath for a minute. Let alone never again! 😢
Dolphins aren't watching 'Ancient Aliens'. Maybe they are smarter than humans.
Heartbreaking talk, good guy. 👍
The ending made me cry. 😢 Truly horrible that we are capable of inflicting such pain as a species.
just because dolphins have no proper hands and feet. they kill for pleasure and cause willfully pain to others for entertainment. - A Lion may maul you, but he`ll allways go for your throt and end you quickly in order to minimise his own risk. Dolphins, other wales and also Apes ( Including Humans) not so.
Animals
Goldfish are more intelligent than some humans I know
OMG RICK O' BERRY .......SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AGAIN . WE HAVE ALL MISSED YOU !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whales have huge tails, but two whales together can't swim twice as fast as one.
Hurts me to think that these two are more successful than I am
The size of a brain has almost nothing to do with intelligence. It's more about the number of neurons, the density and the physical structures of that brain
Exactly. Also doesn’t matter how long a creature has existed.
Whales have 500 billion neurons in their brain compared to 100 billion in a human brain. You just proved they are more intelligent. DOH!😂😂
That’s actually complete nonsense. There is a definite direct correlation between brain size and IQ. Furthermore Bruce Lahn a Chinese researcher discovered 2 genes that are associated with brain size and IQ. It’s a large robust relationship with a genetic basis, in other words. However the things you said do contribute some of the variation, definitely. Just wanted to add that.
THANK YOU DANNY FOR PUTTING RICK ON HERE AND YES YOU HAVE TO WATCH ANCIENT ALIENS .
He understood the dolphins living with them and it was sad and traumatic to not be able to do anything because regular people in command would think he's crazy..sad
People with higher intelligence are always considered crazy.
He is crazy dolphins are not smarter than humans and he hasn't said anything relevant.
@@blacklyfe5543 There are many different types of smart - other than an IQ test. If I can read your mind, am I "smarter" than you because you can't read mine?
@paulsawczyc5019 but you can't and you won't I don't live in hypotheticals I live in reality
@@blacklyfe5543 That reality is a box that keeps you inside.
They are not just "dumb animals"- highly intelligent.
The yellow thing is where spermazeta (or a word similar to that). Its for diving and pressure. Its oil that changes as it dives. In the past whalers would harvest these animals for this. For candle oil and other things.
They should give dolphins arms.
Really Wish the interviewer wouldn't interrupt while the guest is speaking,
My italian name is Delfino It means dolphin , Delphi The greek oracle , If you look at greek mosaics They don't use fish for the sign pisces They used Dolphins , Their kind of like the unicorns of the ancient world , They were very much believed to have magical powers , It's not just that their brains are bigger than ours It's the ratio of brain matter to body matter , How am I understanding is That they do kind of sleep They can take a deep breath and hold it for an extended period of time , The other dolphins watch out for them While they are resting if I remember this correctly , Their linguistic system is probably way more advanced than we can understand Not to mention their use of sonar . As far as human evolution being accelerated It may have something to do with The fact that we kill each other And the use of tools , Primates will be sticks against a bush To scare.
The other Into accepting them as the Alpha , This is for procretion rights , At some point their tool use probably became weaponized , This could have accelerated natural selection , I don't know that aliens needed to come here To do this , If you think about it natural selection is usually the bye product Of different kinds of intelligence from different species , When you create a Mirror reality within a species If this may greatly accelerate Our national selection Because we ourselves do it . The Anthro centric view of the universe As a byproduct of our narcissism , What's out there May not very well be that interest in us , At least not enough that they would interfere too terribly with our existence , If they're doing star travel , they're probably doing time travel And that means they may very well know our beginning and our end . And I seriously doubt this is the only expanse , There could be countless ones Why not . If there's a hire kingdom of life looking over us What need are purpose?Would they have for revealing Themselves.
To us . They would likely be wise enough to know that this might not be a good idea At least we're not ready for it yet .
Like the Wandering Albatross that can stay in the air for up to 4 months at a time! 😀
There's a massive gap between us and other primates because most of our ancestors went extinct, there used to be a lot more hominin species walking around. We didn't just pop up out of nowhere 😂, we diverged from chimps about 8 million years ago.
Some say aliens altered chimp dna 460000 yrs ago and turned us to humans
Dolphins brain size is 3-4 times bigger than other mammals relative to body size, humans around 7 times, that ends the debate.
Ok but they still stuck at sea
J
I knew he was going to say Aliens 😂😂😂
They want the alien patch to drop so bad
I wish the interviewer hadn’t cut off the doctor so darn often, he was dropping germs all over the place and getting cut off in the process.
The porch light is on. Somebody is home but they got Toys in the attic 😂
So long and thanks for all the fish!
I think perhaps their foundational mistake is the assumption that humans are the pinnacle of “evolution/development”. It all depends on how you measure success (humans still have a long way to go to survive as long as others species
I think so, absolutely! We went to SeaWorld years ago to take the kids and we came upon the dolphin exhibit. They had an area where the kids can pick up and throw the ball. The dolphin was looking at us and waiting for one of us to throw the ball, I picked the ball up and threw it kind of far, the dolphins swam around and immediately fetched it and brought it back to the kids and was attentively waiting for us to throw it back. I was tripping because he was highly intelligent he knew exactly like oh yeah this is easy I can do this all day. I sensed at that point like wow this creature is very highly intelligent, we walked away and he was still waiting for us to throw the ball. I know it sounds weird but I felt like I was throwing a human a ball 🤯
u explained that in a way where i felt what u were thinking...amazing
My dog will do that, and he's only intelligent when it comes the returning the ball.
He lost me at ancient aliens
They’re only smarter than the people who think dolphins are smarter than humans
Dolphins,Whales and elephants are brighter than humans by far.
That’s false
🤣🤣🤣 no they’re not
@@baklava6138 this mf Dominic got the IQ of a dog
And yet they've never been to the moon or invented mathematics or painted the Mona Lisa
Not saying dolphins are dumb , but I mean after 65 million years so I figured they develop some kind of legs or arms
If only Dolphins had hands then the world would be a very different place. It's crazy when you think about it.
The dolphins purpose is to protect us from sharks in the ocean. The whales purpose is to protect us from giant squids and octopus. And we’re treating them like sh1t
Are you saying they were put here by God, Or that we sort of co-evolved together that way?
That's not their purpose 😂
Their purpose is to serve me breakfast in bed, only... THEY ARE FAILNG...TOTALLY!
I doubt they are more intelligent but one thing I do know is they taste better than beef. In Japan you can hunt dolphin for food and there's nothing better than a grilled dolphin. You can't legally eat them in the US.
As a dolphin who identifies as a human, I concur.
Panspermia has to be the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard. “We can’t figure out how life started with any kind of naturalistic methodology; so let’s just say it started somewhere else. That completely answers the question.” Seriously?!
A dolphin whisper who watches ancient aliens
Never seen a dolphin construct a building
If humans were born without hands they wouldn't have either.
I would love a Dolphin movie like bears.
Boi said ancient alien 💀 💀
Dolphins are more efficient at what they are capable of doing in their own world boundaries then humans are in theirs > is what the title means and i agree .
So long and thanks for all the fish! 👋🙃
Dolphins don't believe politicians 😂 all the proof i needed
Could this imply we've had alien intervention in Human evolution?
So little we know..so little we truly understand..
I believe you.
Right, when they build a watch let me know.
About human evolution- There were ancestors of ours that sat between the apes we now know and us. It's just that they have died out . An example is the neanderthals. There are quite a few fossil remains that show this. We don't really sit on our own in evolution.
If dolphins so intelligent why aren't they exploring land in devices they created
A crazy hypothesis of how we just popped up out of nowhere is that we are not originally from here. What if we came and found primitive primates then slowly wiped them out and or interbred with some.
Communicating with aliens? I'm out of here.
Eugene McCarthy - Chimpanzee/Pig hybrid. Best explanation I ever read.
Don't scoff unless you've read all the research for this hypothesis, by this genetic scientist and hybridization expert.
"how do they sleep"
"They don't..."
Literally 20 seconds later, "I don't believe so...nobody would be able to know that... I think they're always awake"
This guy is just pulling crap out of his rear.
You have a real way with words...
Whos hosting this?
cooking did it not shrooms
Yes cooking did it, but they had shrooms too.
Is the actor Dolph Lundgren named after a dolphin 🐬?
Yes he is, as Jean-Claude Van Damme is named after a beaver.
Probably a variation of Adolf
No... after a Bavarian lungfish.
So his answer to how are dolphins more intelligent is that they have more senses and the brain is larger? that's it?
I guess so
It’s also about the senses in terms of if they have extra senses then they have(also require) extra knowledge and if they are aware of a bigger reality then that world may require an intelligence beyond ours. Even chimps can do thing on computers much faster than humans so dolphins may be a regression from a more advanced creature.
Thats kinda exactly how brains and intelligence are linked, so yeah
@@Zachhatesyoutube That's not true but go off I guess
@@pgiatrakis That's a good point, though his argument still feels a bit oversimplified. Dolphins may have extremely high cognitive function, but that doesn't exactly equate to higher intelligence. It might just make them really good at navigating and communicating underwater.
We didn’t “pop up” out of anywhere. It took millions of years of tool use to be able to create technology.
Spermwhales's single braincells could also be BIG just as the rest of this beautiful creature's body so possibly yes it does have a big brain in an absolute way, but not relatively. Or does it really have hundreds of thousands times more braincells than we have?
Maybe dolphins are the aliens we see in UFOs
Have they ever invented an International space station?
Counter question:
Have they ever invented spy satellites and killed each other for obscure reasons? Is that what intelligence means?
No, but they created a multi fish city in the Mariana trench...🤔🤦😂
Oh you mean the fake space station that's actually under water
Human inventions are a product of cultural pressures, not intelligence. It could be argued that the fact they have not polluted the oceans with garbage is more intelligent than our inventions.
Lack of hands really holds them back
An intelligent species would not slowly destroy their entire planet like a cancer growth. An intelligent species would know and live as part of the environment, not operate under the delusion of separateness.
Delusion of separateness?? You mean tribal? In the ocean, a gang of male dolphins can be aggressive and coercive to female dolphins.
Creatures in the wild are selfish to their own/species survival and most likely the planet would be in the same shape if they had the same facilities.
Humans will not inherit the earth.
@@marthabonelli3093well, we have inherited the earth, it’s basically been our conquest from the moment we started banding together
Yet that is the double edge sword of technology. Humans are the only species capable of weilding it, but it's not easy.
@@marthabonelli3093we already have
Since 2020 I agree 100%. If Dolphins had thumbs they would keep us in zoos.
I think the purpose of a whales big brain is its communication method.
Yeah because crocodiles love calculus, they've been here longer than most.
tbf they also dont need calculus, and neither do we, we just happen to be extremely egotistical and desire complex systems to make our lives easier and more bountiful.
Maybe they're only pretending to love calculus.
Can the dolphins solve differential equations?
Dolphins pilot those USO's we always see.
It amazes me that evolutionists still must appeal to ideas like ancient aliens in order to support their beliefs
I love Dolphins!
"But they can't manipulate the environment like we can..." Maybe that's what makes dolphins more intelligent than us,Danny?
true
Well....the problem is...define intelligence. Not as easy as it seems. Dolphins appear to have a language. They have very organized social structures. They've never dropped nuclear bombs on each other either....lol.
If dolphins are smarter than human beings than why are they not the predominant species on Earth?
Alright I'll say it. Both these guys are quacks 😂
Do dolphins dream of
electric sheep?
Crocodiles have been here 65+ Million years. WTH dude!
yes but we arent talking about the development of croc brains over that time
the differences between us humans with the second level intelligent primates are the brain main neuron stem configuration and paths. that what makes us can have verbal languages and articulate our thoughts better than apes, which resulting in us able to conceive things from ideas. apes cant do that because their main neurons stems is not as complex as we are. its like despite their brain volumes has similar volume to ours, in functions we have a lot more independent "cores"/compute units. than them.
as for whales and dolphins, their brain size have potentials to have as much as complex brain neuron stem configuration as we are. and probably even more complex. studies have shown that they have contextual "conversations" when they are having "dialogue" with their fellow kind. that shows high intelligent.
so what makes whales and dolphins for millions of years still just swimming in the sea and not evovlving into a species who buld things? THEIR HABITAT. they have to SWIM in the water the entire time. floating. they may gone through for millions of years but they never have to manipulate objects to go around. WE DO.
their fins never have to evolve into fingers.(they have fingers under that fin's skin layers). becasue they are force to ONLY SWIM the entire time, their fins never have to shed its wider area into individual bones, and they never have to use an "opposable thumb". imagine if they have to. by now they would have their fins formed in hand figure(already under that skin layers right now), and they would have been using tools in the past millions of years, and probably travelling the space in spaceships they built themselves. this isnt hype. people with logical minds will think the same if they are presented with whales biological anatomy.
i will say it again, their fins already have fingers in it. like how birds wings actually are large hand with its fingers hidden inside a membrane area that grows feathers.
the only thing that makes us build stuff, because of all our individual fingers and opposable thumb. and thats all the whales and dolphin need to do what we do.
so how do the whales gets their individual fingers to be freed and learn to have independent motoric response if they are forced to use the fin to swim the entire time? remember, the ENVIRONMENT WHERE A SPECIES GROWS DETERMINE THEIR BEHAVIOUR.
whales and dolphins problem with evolution is merely because they stuck in water.
"Dolphins are more intelligent than humans" says the human who is less intelligent than dolphins. Hmmm?
Now, if the dolphin tells me they're more intelligent than a human...hmmm.
The difference between us is instinct
