>Walks in>rekts your whole tree of lifeHow many more branches of life are there we dont know about?
I hate when idiots discover something
>>5098908we aren’t even sure of what exact species humans evolved from other than it being related to the one chimpanzees evolved from, or how, where, and why it became human over time. no sure bet human ancestor has ever been found, only potential offshoots and cousins that fit the stereotype of progressive evolution. none explain our distinct-among-monke adaptations that are only found in marine mammals and mammals with marine ancestors. if man can not know himself there could be dozens if not hundreds of branches of life he is too ignorant and dumb to even guess at and paleontology as you know it is hilariously incomplete.
>>5098908The remnants of entire undiscovered kingdoms of life were probably destroyed by strip mining.
>>5098911this, fucking humans don't know when to mind their own businessgotta turn over every little stone like the busybodies they are
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41564173/>This finding casts doubt upon the fungal affinity of Prototaxites, instead suggesting that this enigmatic organism is best assigned to an entirely extinct eukaryotic lineage.Groovy. But something mycologists would best understand. So I imagine Prototaxites are a sister lineage to animalia and fungi in the Opisthokonta? Perhaps some extant relatives still but undetected.
>>5098915I meant secondary idiots like OP
>>5098920Yeah bro, I learned about le giant fungi from reddit a decade ago, can you believe these fucking newfags trying to butt into our prototaxites community just like that?
>>5098920yes anonEVERYONE should be born knowing EVERYTHING
>>5098911oh fuck off faggot
Interesting video about this btwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqT8Q8plKJ8
>>5098940they SHOULD
>>5098912>marine traitslike what
>>5098915That's just Chinese at the beach.
>>5098908Looks like a benis
>>5100597he's probably mostly talking about the blubber-form fat we build up, which I think evolved to protect the abdominal wall from being punctured with sharp sticks. Whoever our ancestors were, they stabbed other too. The lack of body hair is another thing, which I don't have an explanation for. One thing the aquatic ape theory has in its favor is the reproductive organs that work underwater, for intact males at least. I think we're more buoyant than any of the great apes too, we can escape bigger stronger monkeys by swimming.
>>5098908Hear me out... Land Corals.
>>5100639>fatMost common in wh*tes and least developed in subsaharan africans because its an insulation and energy storage trait developed after we lost the hair thing to be pursuit hunters. Body hair also correlates with climate in most cases. Plus there are many aquatic and semiaquatic mammals that are very dense like hippos or those southeast asian islanders who dive for pearls all day. needing fat for bouyancy is only really a factor if you swim long distance which doesnt help you get food and most humans will never need to do. You cant even escape predators that way because almost all carnivorans willing to take a swing at a protohuman will happily swim after you. You arent outpacing a tiger or bear.

>>5101889I would have read your post but you censored Whites.
>>5098911lol
Protaxites were the last member of the Gaboniota family before their final extinction.
>>5098911same
>>5098911>muh secrit clubget over yourself
>>5100639>The lack of body hair is another thing, which I don't have an explanation for.I thought it was so we could sweat more, for hunting across open plains.
>>5101889>developed after we lost the hair thing to be pursuit huntersDeboonked.
>>5099061This old guy is a NERD lmao.
>>5099072thats for like umm..God to decide ya know buddy
>>5101889That must be why black and brown people eat bread once and become diabetic and gain 400lbs and brown women have mustaches and back hair
>>5106351there is no need to be upset because whites got the pink jelly belly sometimes
>>5105639>>5100639Sweating as a direct function for better heat regulation has not been debunked, and neither has fat as a storage for going long periods without food. Apes spend much more of the day eating and grazing, do not travel anywhere as far and wide as hominids, and can digest more readily available foods like plants and such.Humans needed nutrient dense fats and organs, we got those from hunting and stalking, following herds and having a brain that required lots of energy that couldn't always be met. People in colder climates have more fat deposits, especially in areas exposed to the elements, such as Inuit having frost bite resistance due to their facial fat pockets. Also, our reproductive organs do not function as well underwater, as water is NOT a lubricant and actively impedes sex as it washes away vaginal moisture, as well as increasingly liklihood of infection by a significant amount.Aquatic ape 'theory' is retarded shit.
>>5098908It isn't touted as much because they're mostly microscopic but we've discovered dozens of new phyla or higher clades in the past 2 decades.Most people have never seen this. The clade the arrow is pointing to includes all animals and fungi and some related "protists", prototaxites probably still fell into that branch even if they were not fungi. Proper plants and green/red algae are in that "archaeplastida" clade. Everything else is shit that's technically not animal, fungi or plant (nor bacteria, archea or virus for that matter)
>>5107679Of course I forgot my pic.
>>5107679>Everything else is shit that's technically not animal, fungi or plant (nor bacteria, archea or virus for that matter)>>5107680>SARSo what the hell are indians then? They look like humans but apparently we're more closely related to plants than them?
>>5098911>Nooo! People can't learn new things! They have to remain ignorant!lol
>>5098908i ate them
>>5100687That doesn't make much sense though, since there was nothing up there for filter-feeders or any other predators. There weren't even flying insects back then I think, nor trees.
>>5100635:DDD
test
>>5107777Yes, if mistakes like the renaissance, reformation, invention and spread of the printing press enlightenment and the industrial revolution never happened we'd live in a much less degenerate and unnatural world. 99% of "people" shouldn't be allowed to have any impact more lasting than the fields they plow.
>>5098908how does this affect you personally?
>>5103493>for hunting across open plainsdidn't happen, savanna hypothesis is debunked
>>5100597Our noses point downward
>>5100597Seals are the only mammals that can imitate human speech like a parrot, chimps and gorillas can't
>>5115427Parrots are marine?
>>5115608No, but birds in general followed a very different evolutionary trajectory from mammals/synapsids and even their brains are wired differently.
>>5107573Savanna hypothesis and pursuit hunting hypothesis have been debunked
>>5098911But they become less an idiot, even by a small percentage, isn't that a good thing?
>>5115427There's also that one elephant that speaks korean,
>>5098919Can we even derive unikont/opisthokont affinity by petrified fossils alone?
>>5100597ur mum's blubber
>>5107680>diaphoretickesI love greek terms but not keeping the term Bikonta is pure hipsterism.
>>5118875why?
>>5098908*stands up**dies**leaves no living relatives*problem, scientists?
>>5107573>required lots of energy that couldn't always be metThis has always been one of the most mind numbingly stupid midwit takes in existence. You stupid fat fucking retard, stop trying to justify your refusal to eat a balanced diet with these blindingly ignorant attempts at evolutionary biology.Here's how stupid you are. This is a picture of some chimpanzees sitting in a tree, eating fruit. The specific fruit here is the cape fig, which has roughly 35 calories per fruit. This is the calorie content for a human; an ape with a better ability to digest fiber would get a bit more. Regardless, this picture of a tiny portion of a tree, literally just a few branches hanging down into the shot, contains around 90 fruits. At 35 calories each, we're looking at 3,150 calories.The entire tree would contain hundreds of thousands of calories worth of fruit. That's just one tree; that's how easy it is to get calories in a tropical region where fruit is abundant and in season year round. Even if you needed 10k calories a day, you could meet it easily by literally just sitting in one of these trees and eating fruit for a few hours.
>>5119948Because Bikonta already exists?
>>5098912there are recent papers arguing that even Homo habilis was not a proper Homo ancestor and should be reclassified lol
>>5112780I thought savanna hypothesis was specifically about bipedalism, not hairlessness.
>>5120840it was supposed to explain both and in both cases it's stupid. Baboons aren't bipedal and chimps that live on or near savannas don't become more bipedal.
>>5116873>their brains are wired differentlyElaborate, please.
>>5120859https://karger.com/bbe/article-abstract/87/2/69/326404/Relative-Brain-Size-and-Its-Relation-with-theMuch of the controversy is over the extent to which brain structures have evolved independently of each other (mosaic evolution) or in a coordinated way (concerted evolution).Here, we show that pallium areas associated with domain-general cognition represent a large fraction of the entire brain, are disproportionally larger in large-brained birds and accurately predict variation in the whole brain when allometric effects are appropriately accounted for. While this does not question the importance of mosaic evolution, it suggests that examining specialized, small areas of the brain is not very helpful for understanding why some birds have evolved such large brains. Instead, the size of the whole brain reflects consistent variation in associative pallium areas and hence is functionally meaningful for comparative analyses.
>>5099061good video
>>5098908>How many more branches of life are there we dont know about?
>>5098908We will never know about anything that didn't leave a fossil record so probably millions of things.
>>5099061any more Youtube channels like this?
>>5098914Oh no we need to stop all human development so we can have more useless rocks to sit in museums.
>>5116873>mammals/synapsidsJust say Mammal-like reptile
>>5122328>we need destroy priceless relics and scientific knowledge so Amerifats can consoom more useless trinkets
>>5098908that's a nice phallic symbol
