Evidence of Evolution:

Paul Andersen describes pieces of evidence that Charles Darwin used to support the idea of evolution and his process of natural selection. He begins with the following evidence use in the Origin of Species; artificial selection, biogeography, fossils and homologies. He finishes with a discussion of DNA and how it can be used to unravel the evolution of life on our planet.

ya boy such a g always says "and i hope that's helpful" at the end of every video, yes it is mr. andersen we love you

[kirillkondrachov]

I gotta thank you. You saved me in physics, microbiology/physiology and now evolution. Bless your soul.
Also on a side note, did you evolve from Hank Green?

[haydenvc]

Okay. This is an educational video. Not a video for argument. I watched this video to LEARN for a HOMEWORK assignment. Does the professor care if you believe in god or evolution or whatever. No. So if you'll excuse me, I have some homework to do.

[coleyang]

You just taught me more in 13 minutes than my biology teacher could ever teach me in a lifetime. Thank you and keep up the good work!

No argumentative stuff here... I just really like the way this man says pigeon.

Why can't evolution and science go hand in hand? Everyone here is either totally against science. or totally atheist. What if... we just took a look at the evidence, and said that evolution exists... however... who started the evolution going?

Makes learning actually interesting and really helps in class

The "co-discovery" between Darwin and Wallace reminds me of Leibniz and Newton in regards to calculus.

The layperson science denier comments on here are funny. They are why the other developed countries in the world laugh at us.

[MelvinArthurMurray]

This was out together very well.Good job

2) fossils
3) homology
4) dna

"All those pigeons are all birds."
You fail to understand the simple concept of tiny changes accumulating into large changes to the point where the original version and the new one are too detached to be grouped again.
Look at society. It's evolved to become completely different from its original form. We don't line up with Muskets anymore, do we? Our idea of "Glorious Battle" is 100% different from our idea 200 years ago.

It was big news indeed last year when Schweitzer announced she had discovered blood vessels and structures that looked like whole cells inside that T. rex bone—the first observation of its kind. The finding amazed colleagues, who had never imagined that even a trace of still-soft dinosaur tissue could survive. After all, as any textbook will tell you, when an animal dies, soft tissues such as blood vessels, muscle and skin decay and disappear over time, while hard tissues like bone

So, you beLIEve god did it all?  So say the creatards and godlodytes.

[PaulTheSkeptic]

Just clarifying. A change of environment is needed to produce radical changes. Many species stay static for millions of years.

For starters I thought it was a great video. Explains evolution in understandable terms. I'm surprised at how many trolls commented on this video. I hope you're trolls anyway... otherwise you're deluded and clearly incorrect in face of the mass amount of evidence.

as a reminder:

Machines are always designed (and made). A design always requires a designer. And you can't design if you're not intelligent. This is the normal usage of the english language, but there are those out there who are trying to change the normal use of language in order to spread confusion and teach false logic. You must attempt to resist and hold on to the normal simple usage of language. My playlist "Can your educational system always be trusted?" may be of assistance there.
