Can’t wait for WWM, that was my favorite of the spin offs due to it being focused on pre Mesozoic life that doesn’t get much love media wise
Yeah, it’s mostly Dinosaurs and Cenozoic animals
I like the premise, but not a huge fan of the execution. Still a fine series, but I prefer Beasts and Dinosaurs.
looOol
God morgen
I don't like dinosaurs yet I have 4 dinosaur books,I like non Mesozoic life. Especially pre mesozoic,Mesozoic, permian Era is AMAZING
8:31 To be fair, fossils from the LA Brea tar pits and a few fossils in South America showed that injuries that would've prevented Smilodon to hunt and would starve actually lived. Scientist deduced that the only way the cats could've survived is if they relied on other members to hunt and kill.
True but those are for Smilodon fatalis and irrelevant to S. populator. Remember different species of the genus Panthera have different social lives with lions in harems/prides but leopards, jaguars, and tigers are solitary.
One thing I liked about the Sabertooth episode is while it did show Smilodon as an apex predator, it didn't depict it as a sloth and mammoth slaying unstoppable monster. It was depicted as a real animal with real limitations. Also while the pride family structure is inaccurate, with their group structure probably more similar to a wolf pack than a lion pride, I think it was the earliest time I can think of that depicted Smilodon as a social animal.
Yeah. The Smilodon in the documentary definitely have their limits, for as awesome as they are. For example, Half Tooth, the main Smilodon, doesn’t even try to bring down a Megatherium, knowing full well that attempting so would be suicide.
Yeah...smilodon took ground sloth....smh
loOoool
Thought it was just family groups for smilodon
Yeah, giant sloths were killed by leopards....ok bulked up versions of the extant leopards we have today, but still leopards (closer to lions size) so still a BIG size gap between predator and prey!
The cave lions were just light coloured sabre tooth’s. Apart from that, amazing animations
Could've passed as a half decent Homotherium.
Sometimes due to budget constraints (this was still made back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s, after all), the same model is still used, albeit slightly tweaked.
It’s a common practice in show business, actually
The walking with trilogy still is for me the best documentary’s, even tho it’s not the most accurate, it’s still the best in representing them as real animals,
And behave like real animals to, even wenn it’s inaccurate some of the times, its still the best representation of them
Ya know..., The thing is that they aren't just good for the viewers..., They are just that good in general for everyone..., They are very accurate in therms of behaviour plus facts about them :), also..., Love the desings, they are quite often used in animations by most animators
@@thisisnami6054 yes yes, i know that😄😁
@@thelittleal1212 I was sure you already know :D, It's just that WOW!!!, Even though I didn't even seen then in TV because I literally didn't exist when they came out as a kid I saw then in UA-cam and NOTHING, NOTHING COULD distract me of watching some fucking good documentaries XD, personally as a raking out of them I would say that:
1- Walking with beasts
2- Walking with Sea monsters
3-Walking with dinosaurs
4- Walking with Monsters
* Sorry If you like very much Walking with mons, ( I obveously also do XD ), it's just that sadly one of them has to be the least good but still Walking with monsters was by far one of the best prehistoric zoology documentaries ever
@@thisisnami6054 i Accept your opinion, I do love walking with monster a lot, but my absolute favorites as a kid and still now are the specials like -
-chased by sea monsters
-allosaurus
-chased by dinosaurs 🦖
Do you do your pic paleoart?
HOLY CRAP ANOTHER CHRISTIAN WHO IS ACTUALLY COMPETENT IN PALEONTOLOGY! I'm glad to see a youtuber who doesn't dunk on the faith all the time, it gets old fast...
Check out Inspiring Philosophy by any chance. ;)
Love this documentary. I'd call this the best Cenozoic documentary ever.
same here
Me to especially since its the most well known cenazonic documentary
@@stevenelbert8989 very true
Yep!!
@@PaddyaSaur2009 ikr
I think the BBC needs to do sequels to all these shows, like they did with Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II. Show new stuff we didn't know about then, and take the opportunity to correct some stuff that they didn't know at the time. I can't think of how many times in Planet Earth II David Attenborough was all like "We * now * know..."
when there is a disclaimer about human evolution and you're confused cause that's school science class stuff... then remember it's an american video...
Oh that explains the weird disclaimer
America; where 30% of us don’t believe the truth.
@@maxrichards3881 pretty sure that number might be more, if the comment sections I've scrolled through have anything to say about it
It's a channel that literally focuses on prehistory and evolution, and it needs a disclaimer for fuckin' creationists? What is this, Russia?
@@ivanvukasovic1371sorry i didn't understand the joke, Russia is like the less religious country in the world
6:39 the cave lions weren't white though as it turns out, as we know from frozen cubs we have found.
Yep, they had a pelt color similar to modern lions, or perhaps slightly paler.
@@beastmaster0934 Cool
Couldn't pelts change based on time of year, like an Ermine or Arctic fox?
They should do a "walking with early animals" sort of show covering the Edicarian to early Cambrian and covering the buildup to the Cambrian explosion. Though I guess lack of predator prey relationships for most of the macroscopic creatures might make things less interesting.
And here is a blob, living at the bottom of the early warning seas.
Not much else to say really.
Human evolution isn't a matter of belief...
Exactly, it is a scientific fact
it's probably so that he doesn't piss off the folks who dont believe in it lol
Huamsn have evolved from ancient humanoid apes, also they have a convergent evolution to look like the aliens from mars
Mars only has microorganisms.
Animals that you forgot about:
Ancylotherium, Doedicurus, Deinotherium, Moeritherium, Godinotia, Apidium, Megatherium, Megaloceros and Physogaleus.
9:08 hang on, I thought there was little to no sexual dimorphism found in smilodon, and that as a result a social structure more like wolves than lions has been proposed?
The latest study I can find says otherwise even though what you're saying has been thought for a long time.
@@redraptorwrites6778 Oh I see, very interesting, funny how the truth on this issue seems to have turned out to be the exact opposite of what we thought it was, but I guess that is palaeontology for you.
@@marinanguish9928 Ha yeah it's hard to keep up. I have to do a lot of double and triple checking when writing these scripts. But the sources for any contentious arguments I make are in the description. Maybe ideas will change again but you'll know I'm not crazy or making it up XD
@@redraptorwrites6778 Indeed no danger of that happening. Keep up the good work man!
@@redraptorwrites6778 bad words you
We need a documentary on walking with Birds, where we see some of the “Demon Duck”, the Moa and Haasts Eagle, Pelagornis, Argentavis, and a Genuine realistic Phorusrhacus and more terror birds especially Kelenken as they head to Central America and beyond into Mexico/USA.
I don’t understand the intro, like, evolution is fact
Yeah.
Yeah but there’s a difference between evolution and human evolution, evolution is a fact, but human evolution is a theory.
@@Alsoufii You obviously don't know what "theory" means in a scientific context.
@@Alsoufii Human evolution isn't a theory. If you accept evolution that automatically means you have to accept the fact that humans evolved because we're animals as well. And if you don't believe THAT part, then well... Idk what to tell ya.
@@AlsoufiiWhat ? That makes no sense ? You want to imply that every animal evolved yet humans magically fucking spawned on the planet from nowhere ?
This is my favorite of the Walking with Trilogy overall. It’s actually aged fairly well compared to dinosaurs, and it’s also very educational with these lesser known animals.
To be fair the Ambulocetus is referenced as being out of place in the episode. I know going from Pakistan to Germany is a bit of a stretch to say the least but it isn't completely out of the question. And they do acknowledge it them selves.
Not to mention that Pakistan was much closer to Germany at the time, with the Tethys still spanning North Africa.
@@maxrichards3881 Were they though? I thought the shape of the Eurasian landmass was pretty much the same in the Eocene. But you are right that swimming along the coastline of the Thethys would have made it easier for Ambulocetus to get to Germany, whereas nowadays it would have to travel on dry land or swim along very long rivers.
@@maxrichards3881 nope. At this point in time the modern globe was formed
This was my introduction to _many_ Cenozoic mammal species (as well as to other animals that were contemporaries of them). So I’m forever thankful to this series for that. 😊
Thanks to this show, I found favorite extinct fauna; Calicotherium.
@@maxrichards3881 Good choice (👍).
@@velociraptor4you3291
It’s such a bizarre beast, a horse that walks like a gorilla and eats like panda. A shame they don’t get much screen time, and they never fight off predators, instead one of them is just cannon fodder for a Hyenodon (which is so poorly designed here, like the Entellodon, but they’re the only poorly-designed animals in WWB).
@@maxrichards3881 That’s right, calicothere’s closest living modern relatives are horses (🐎). And who knows? Perhaps “Prehistoric Planet 2022” will get a follow-up that focuses on Cenozoic animals (I’d be on board with that, personally). If that happens, we may see calicotheres again, along with more scientifically-accurate depictions of mammals like Hyenadon and Entelodonts (I do know there’s been some new research about them that’s come to light).
@@maxrichards3881 Since their modern relatives are way more dangerous than thought, it's a good bet Calichotherium and other Calichotheres were deadly opponents and far from easy prey.
6:15 kind of surprised you didn't mention that the Walking with Beasts Cave Lion seems to have saber teeth the real animal didn't have. Probably because they used a modified version of the same digital model used earlier for their Smilodon when as you pointed out they weren't that closely related.
Still the program had a limited budget and what they accomplished on that budget is undeniably impressive. I will 100% agree this is one of the best paleo documentaries ever showcasing the many post-dinosaur extinct animals of the past better than any other to date. A superb program all around
They used the dinofelis model
@@rpl7234
I wouldn’t say that, the dinofelis doesn’t have a long face, like the Cave Lion does.
Would've been better passed as a Homotherium.
This is a God-Tier documentary! None quite like it! Easily my favourite one of the bunch!
Even the behind the scenes 2 parter! EVEN THE BEHIND THE SCENES!!!
Great video, Red Raptor!
One comment that I think you missed would have to be the social structure of of the mammoths seen in the last episode they show runners really did their home work when it came to their mammoths. They accurately represent them as a matriarchal species just like their closest living relatives elephants with the oldest female as the herds matriarch, along with stating that they lived in herds of all related females, while young males left their natal family groups a upon reaching sexual maturity at around 14 years of age. Another thing that I apricate that the show runners did is showing that the bulls will find as many cows that they can mate with, and also at the same clip showing the females shifting away from the male as elephants do in real life and the calves nurse correctly in the right position as their mothers breast are. Unlike hoofed mammals which have their udders in between their hind legs elephants have two very human like breasts in between their front legs.
Mammoth journey in general is the best paleo media the BBC has has ever created.
Nice to meet a fellow Christian paleontology enthusiast!
Same! Always happy to meet a like minded fellow 😁
Hi!
We do have a Hyaenodon coprolite from South Dakota that shows that it had crushed and eaten the snout of a horse, most likely Mesohippus, because of the fact that there was some horse teeth in the coprolite! So maybe the hyena analogy regarding it’s eating habits may not be as far off
... are you saying since your christian that you don't believe in human evolution?
From what it seems the disclaimer wasn't referring to whatever the author's beliefs are, but it was put in place to avoid flame wars between creationist and most who aren't.
Unfortunately, many didn't seem to consider this aspect of the disclaimer and jumped to conclusions.
I fondly remember that one from my childhood, it really was a great show. I'm kinda suprised you didn't mention the clawed finger the phorusrhacos was given under problems or outdated
Hyenaodon I actually did eat everything part of the carcass there was actually some fossilized dong of hyenaodon There actually has a horse tooth in it so it ain’t pretty much everything so walking with prehistoric beasts actually got it right
Dong?
Dung
@@tyrannotherium7873 lol
Fossilized Dong?
Dung
16:21 no this is based on the more well known Hyaenodon horridus, which has coprolites showing it frequently consumed bone including part of an early horse's muzzle, teeth included.
So the bite force guess is valid through convergent evolution.
The design & size is still bad, though.
@@maxrichards3881 We don't know what the fleshy bits of creodonts looked like, the rat tail and saber teeth are bad parts but the animal is generally fine.
Furthermore at the time weight estimates of 500 kilograms or so were estimated for this species. That's the size of the Sumatran rhino, give or take. Now 300-400 is more used.
@@godzillakingofthemonsters5812
That’s still kind of misleading, since Sumatran rhinos are only so small because of insular dwarfism, like the Sumatran Tiger.
@@maxrichards3881 Not really, all the show said was they were size of small rhinos which the Sumatran is.
@@godzillakingofthemonsters5812
The exact quote was “these carnivores are as big as Rhinos”. I watch WWB on a damn near weekly basis, please be honest when talking to me about it.
15:47
Should never use prehistoric wildlife size chart.
They're mostly outdated.
A Christian man interested in paleontology!? I thought I was the only one! Subbed.
Yeah, sometimes it seems we're a rare breed 😅
I hope you're going to react/review the Walking With Mosters too, the prequel to it all!!
I always loved the series. Made me fall in love with prehistoric animals when I was a kid.
I own the entire walking with series but I started my collection with this one.
There is no God.
Suggestions:
1. Clash of the dinosaurus
2. Dinosaur revolution
3. The ultimate guide: tyrannosaurus
A religious paleontologist, do they just choose to ignore some shit they dig up
lol
Holy shit this brings back memories. I watched the Walking With series as a kid, and I could never get enough of them.
I honestly think about smilodon pack behavior more like that of a cheetah and less like a lion, young cheetah males (often brothers) sometimes forms packs, and because they are mostly brothers those packs aren't often bigger than a few indyviduals.
I just found your channel and I really love all the memes and edits sprinkled through your paleo reviews, really gives your videos a unique flavor
Episode 3 was by FAR the best episode!The entelodonts,Bear Dog,Paraceratherium,Hyeanadon,Chalicotherium, and so on!So many cool creatures
And then there's the fourth wall breaking joke.
@tossupeater Why though? Valid names are supposed to sound better than obsolete ones. I'd feel vindicated!
@tossupeater Hm...NAH!
Well, not Troodon though; Sounds too ordinary.
this program had the best soundtrack of the trilogy. Also "No species lasts forever" goes so incredibly hard
I say out of all the walking with series it’s aged the best
Walking with beasts is the best part of "walking with series". My favourite episode is that with basilosaurus. Image of this giant predator swimming between mangrove trees is amazing.
I absolutely loved this series and I remember watching it and its making ofs dozens of times as a kid. It's really great seeing it getting some attention, and it's also nice seeing some of the differences and reclassification that happened since its release get explained, since I'd often see off-hand references to those in more recently published prehistoric zoology books growing up and getting so confused.
When I watched this for the first time as a kid I was scared of the chalicotherium for some reason
Chalicotherium was cute for me but that Gastornis probably contributed to my fear of birds as a kid lol
Chalicotherium: *exist*
Younger You: 😥😨😨😰😰😰😰😰😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Can we just forget the dumb stereotype that christians have a problem with paleontology?
I love these reviews, its the perfect mix of education, entertainment and memes all in one!
Even as someone who grew up with Dinosaur Revolution more, Walking with Beasts will remain my favorite Documentary of all time
Same
This is EASILY the best cenozoic documentary, and it holds up pretty well so it's a win-win.
Titanoboa Monster Snake is also Cenozoic, with the animal living in the Paleocene.
One of the best documents of all time period! Also shows to people that animals that lived after dinosaurs are equally as cool and interesting as them. There are so many weird, interesting and absurd animals after dinosaurs that its mind blowing.
17:24 you are absolutely right I actually never grew up watching this series because it also teaches us people who are born after All the walking with series tell us what their original informations were. In fact I didn’t think paraceratherium wasn’t a name during 2001.
Also it is kind of sad that most of the series is outdated even though they were mostly true for their respective time.
Ive been to the Sam Noble museum at The University Oklahoma at least like 20 times and I'm so happy you used our Gastornis in your video. Thank You :)
Ah yes, the DVD collection I once rented for -70 years because of a bug in the library's software.
Nice to see a fellow Christaim who's interested in stuffs like these
Right? So refreshing!
lol These reviews are so enjoyable
Why thank you so much. I'm really glad you're liking them!
Why I should keep in my mind that you are a christan? You don't seem toxic
Thanks to a few idiots, Christianity has been connected to science-denialism, and believing that the earth is only 6,000 years old.
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 Yea and it really hurts people like me. Who said I can't be a dino nerd and a fossil hunter just beacuse Im a Christian?
@@PatTheFox Protestants, really.
I'd throw my hat in with smilodon the pride social structure as well. We basically have a substantial list of evidence pointing towards it being a social predator, as much as we're basically going to get. We can never know for certain. But we can be pretty bloody sure, and if you find a few of them preserved together as a close family group and evidence of caring for the injured, well yeah, that makes me pretty bloody sure they're a social hunter. Also male lions hunt nocturnally, and smash shit.
The cave lion design it looks like a rip off of the dinofelis Model
walking with series always recycled their assets, atleast they make changes to make them distinct.
I really dislike the hyenadon model
Prehistoric predators got them down almost perfectly
Imo its really cool but I understand if you dont like it.
@@polopena3337 it looks more like chubracabra then a real hyenadon
Agree
Glas to see When Dinosaurs Roamed America be at a B. I loved that series.
WWD was already perfect, but WWB was even better. If anyone’s interested in exclusively human evolution, there’s a spin-off called “Walking With Cavemen”. It gets even less attention than WWB does, but it’s really good. The Neanderthals in that show actually look even better than the ones in WWB.
Well, yeah. The Homo Neanderthalus were just Homo Sapiens in makeup.
i really love this series too, it rules
Glad to see a Christian discussing the sciences without biased ideas, as a Christian it's definitely a challenge to come across as factual with science today, good on ya and good video
How To Make Using Time Machine Extremely Epic
1. Invent time machine.
2. Travel to 22nd century.
3. Invent a machine that can change probability to make probability certain that Using Time Machine is Extremely Epic Forever.
I find it interesting Nickelodeon decided to reference the leptictidium from WWB in one of their cartoons.
I also saw that it had the same color as the one saw in wwb
This is my first time seeing a Christian Man talking about a prehistoric documentary. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying.
I really need to watch wwb again, its been ages, mostly because i lost my DVD copy and not available on streaming platforms I use lol

This documentary gave me a really bad phobia of ants
Walking with Beasts is my favorite and the theme music is among the main reason why
Bro u believe that a giant skydaddy made us out of clay? Is that what your saying?
Here a suggestion, do a review on titanoboa: monster snake, which is VERY inaccurate, but no one seems to talk about it.
I liked the documentery
Well, that fine, but the reason I dislike it is that they creators treat the titanoboa like some crocodile destroying monster, when it was more likely suited to eating lungfish and the 5 foot long cerrejonisuchus, and don't get me started on its fight with the t rex in the trailer.
Yeah it is inaccurate but not as inaccurate as jurassic fight club
Maybe so, but no one seems to call out this inaccurate documentary and that's why I wanted redraptorwrites to do a review on it.
@@samuelburdett7846 maybe I just like it because I like snakes in general I have a corn snake as a pet
But I agree it is kinda inaccurate
I just love those Kangashrews!!
I watched this fairly recently, and then wwd afterward, where I've been in a Paleontology kick.
Overall, I liked this one pretty well, but I was disappointed when I looked up how some of the science changed; I had "fallen in love" with Andrewsarchus for one.
On the flipside, I'm glad that that ant scene would not have happened in reality.
I love
walking with beast ther need to be more like this lol
But all the best episodes are with caveman and man-apes. I like that one part where man-ape live In fear of some cat and then someone takes a rock and throws it straight to the head of that predator. And one of my favoruite game is Far Cry: Primal.
The idea that sabretooth cats aren't smart is actually indicative of pack behavior because, in extant species anyway, biologists have noted that solitary predatory mammals tend to have more intelligence than pack hunters
That’s kind of why pack hunting happens: Animals come together in family groups because they’re not smart enough on their own.
Would so have loved it even more if it covered the Miocene and if the Australia episode wasn't scrapped.
This documentary made me to love woolly mammoth
I always thought the terror birds were based off of kelenken also the Terror birds have claws in the show which while it was uncertain at the time it’s unlikely they had claws from what we know now
Believe it or not I still like the documentary but it’s not my favorite Cenozoic of all time
But another Documentary Titanoboa another Cenozoic documentary too.
No prehistoric predators and prehistoric America
14:22 largest "land" manmal ever
There's also Birds, birds are dinosaurs
All birds are dinosaurs
A big issue with the series depiction of phorusrhacids is that it perpetuated the idea of South American predators being outcompeted and displaced by carnivorans during the GABI, even though the South American predator guild had already collapsed prior to this point (Titanis, for example, is the only large-bodied terror bird known to be around at the time of GABI).
But that’s far from the most nonsensical error in WWB; that arguably goes for their depiction of Basilosaurus as a pelagic animal not comfortable hunting in coastal waters, even though it was the opposite in real life, *and was already known to be an inaccuracy before the production of WWD, let alone the production of WWB.*
Titanus has only been found in North America.
Question: What do you think it evolved from?
Answer: Smaller Phorusracids living in South America at the time, likely 6 feet tall. The type Genus and Titanus are the only terror birds to reach 3 meters tall.
@@maxrichards3881
No terror birds got to 3m tall (this was based on flawed reconstructions based on ratites, when phorusrhacids were taller and bulkier). The largest, like Titanis or Kelenken, were a bit over 2m tall. Phorusrhacos itself was less than 2m tall.
@@bkjeong4302
Way to miss my point.
Terror birds could not have collapsed before the great American interchange, because Titanus, the largest terror bird ever, was only known from North America.
@@maxrichards3881 Titanis was also the only large terror bird that even existed by the time of GABI, as those in South America had already died out before that point, leaving only a handful of small terror birds behind.
Furthermore, Titanis had been in North America BEFORE the GABI (terror birds were among the few animals that managed to travel between the two Americas prior to the GABI, but not the only examples). It was not a South American animal that survived long enough to see the GABI and then moved north: it evolved from an ancestor that moved north all the way back in the Miocene, had evolved well before the GABI, then became the last remaining large terror bird by the time the GABI started as its South American relatives had died out by that point.
So no, it doesn't serve as proof terror birds as a group hand't collapsed by the time of GABI-because it was NOT an animal that entered North America during the GABI (due to having gotten there BEFORE the GABI)
Thank you for letting me know the straight tusked elephant was bigger. I thought there was still debate about that.
I liked all 3 of the walking with. My favorite of all being the ballad of big al.
Red Raptor: walking with beasts is 20 years old
me: and the JP novel is 31 years old
One of my favorite Dino documentaries ever and it’s not even about dinos
Leopards are probably the most common predator of hominids. Which kinda makes sense. A fully grown one is bigger than something like a cheetah, serval/caracal, or a painted dog, which you could probably stand a fighting chance against even without a weapon. They're also known to hunt chimps and gorillas, though certainly not as a staple food source. Additionally, a hominid is a reasonable sized kill for them and might be worth the risk. Something that's decidedly not true for larger predators like a male African lion.
The smilodon always makes me smile.
Walking with beasts is one of my favourite shows ever. If not my number 1 favourite. And personally, I think the best episodes are episode 4 and 6 because I’m a proboscidean fan.
Next of Kin and Mammoth Journey were my favorites too. They have such similar fauna in them as well: Hominids, Big Cats, and Mastodons.
If there is god he must’ve been drunk or high when he made some of these animals.
Exactly
14:20 Blue Whale: *hold my beer*
I don’t get the evolution disclaimer, isn’t evolution a central part of palaeontology? …
He tries to make sure there isn’t a young earth creationist whining in the comments
insane when a paleo youtuber has ro apologize for talking about human evolution...like what did you expect
He should not apologize for talking about it, neither should he actively avoid talking about a well known scientific fact like human evolution just because of fear of proving religious dogmas to be wrong
@@juanfranciscoastudillo well define fact here, if you define it as something without the chance of being incorrect, then since science is built upon a probabilistic framework, that must mean it is 100% true without any chance of it being otherwise, is that what you’re claiming? Because Homology has a counter to it, Homoplasy.
@@Alsoufii A scientific fact is the accepted description of a phenomenon that it held as true under the available body of scientific evidence (which of course supports it). As such, and given that its status is susceptible to change depending on the appearance of contradicting scientific evidence, scientific facts are not incompatible with the probabilistic approach of science. If you want to contend the veracity of a scientific fact, you need to provide testable and verifiable evidence to support your claims.
About homoplasy, it is quite obvious that it is a distinct phenomenon to homology, (it's basic knowledge for biologists). I suppose you're trying to claim that the homologous traits humans share with apes and hominids from the fossil record are not homologous but just the result of convergent evolution, given that homoplastic traits emerge as a result of it, right?
But that argument would be flawed given that for a shared trait between two species to be homoplastic it requires to have been independently evolved from different gene lines, and as such derived from completely unrelated genes. Yet, what evidence has shown repeatedly is that the vast majority of shared traits between human groups (extant and extinct ones) and apes are in fact undeniably consistent, with little to no variation on a genetic/molecular level, which means they originated from the same ancestral genes. Ergo, relevant shared traits among humans and apes are homologous, not homoplastic.
Funny how for outdated it mostly just names
will you review “morphed?”
Love the integration of memes and shitposts
Jimmy Neutrons depiction of the Leptictidium uses the same color schemes,just noticed that.
Glad you like it! What would my channel be without memes?
@@redraptorwrites6778 ah something a wee bit lamer
It is entirely possible to be Christian and not a creationist. I fall into that category.
Yup, same here!
But then with all due respect, you would have to do mental gymnastics within the Christian scripture. Also that would be going against the earlier view of the Christian’s who never believed such.
that documentary was make my childhood
