Drew McCoy and Jon Perry discuss the Stephen Meyer/Joe Rogan podcast Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2023-08-10 | Stephen Meyer, a proponent of "Intelligent Design" creationism, recently appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast. He made many false claims about genetics, evolution, and the psychology of religion. Here, science educator Jon Perry and YouTuber Drew McCoy have a discussion analyzing Meyer's comments.
life will find a... Ovipositor Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-04-26 | The ovipositor (or "egg depositor") is the organ on the tail end of many insects used to help lay eggs. In the case of the grasshopper, it has been modified for digging/scrapping. In the case of honey bees, it has been modified for stinging and is no longer directly used to lay eggs.
Richard Dawkins discusses a possible future where Earth life expands throughout the cosmos.

Owl Reacts to Total Solar Eclipse! Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-04-09 | This is Morgan the Owl at Chintimini Wildlife Center. This was filmed during totality, 2017, at her home at the wildlife center in Corvallis Oregon.Her reaction was great! Morgan is a Spotted Owl/Barred Owl hybrid. She was born in the wild but was hit by a car and blinded in one eye. She was deemed non-releasable byh officials at Oregon Fish and Wildlife due to the injury, and so they permitted us to keep her so she could live out her life at the center.

Is Sexual Selection a form of Intelligent Design? No. Heres why, Eric Weinstein Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-02-23 | In this AMA session I address a complaint I've heard from several people, now from Eric Weinstein: Couldn't you say that sexual selection a form of Intelligent Design? If so, why do scientists reject Intelligent Design? Are they grumpy dumb-dumbs or are they sour nincompoops?In this video you'll learn about sexual selection in the red-wing blackbird, you'll see footage of a wild freshwater mussel that tricks fish with a lure, and you'll see me get attacked by a bald eagle.

Winter Crow Roost! #animals #evolution #granby Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-02-15 | This is a giant, winter crow roost! Local birders do a count each year (it's easier once they settle down, but still not super easy). They say the roost has over 30,000 birds!
5,000 years of selection! Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-02-12 | Many people use the words "wild" and "feral" interchangeably, but animal breeders have specific meanings for each word. Pigeons, American "wild" horses, and Florida boa constrictors are all examples of feral animals - feral meaning "having escaped domestication". That said, depending who you ask, boas might just be considered a "non-native species" in Florida rather than "feral" since it's not clear how domesticated they really were before escaping the pet trade. How much selective breeding needs to happen before a population is considered "domesticated"? In biology, most categories have fuzzy, debatable edges.
The Modern Synthesis of Evolution #science #biology #animals Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-02-11 | The modern synthesis is often described as the merger between evolution by natural selection (from Darwin), and Mendelian genetics.
Phenotypic Plasticity #biology #evolution #animals Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-02-09 | We have evolved the ability to adapt in real time to certain stresses, even without change to DNA. These real-time changes are not evolution, but the ability to make these real-time changes evolved. In other words, each plastic ability exists because of DNA mutations that enabled it were selected for in the past.

Brien Foerster - Foramen Magnum of Paracas Skulls #aliens #science #gaia Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-02-01 | Brien Foerster claims the foramen magnum of the "original elongated skulls" of Peru are in the wrong spot for them to be human. I used the replica (accurate to the millimeter) of the skull he tells you to get in his book. Turns out that not only is Brien wrong, he uses camera tricks to fool his audience to make this claim.

FULL VIDEO: Brien Foerster vs Science Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2024-01-18 | Has a new species of human been found among the Paracas skulls Peru? Brien Foerster thinks the answer might be yes, here, his claims are put to the test, each one examined in fine detail. The Paracas Culture is fascinating group of people, now long gone, from Peru. They had elongated skulls, produced fine tapestries, and performed head surgeries that were advanced for the time. Explorer and mystery researcher, Brien Foerster, believes some of the Paracas people were not normal humans. Could this be?

Can Whales/Dolphins Survive in Freshwater? Evolutionary Question 32 Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2023-12-29 | #evolution #humpbackwhale #montreal In Montreal, 2020, a humpback whale showed up in river, over 300 miles further upstream than she should have been. How does her story end? Whales don't do well in freshwater. Dolphins are whales. Why is it that some species live in freshwater? Discover how these remarkable creatures, the amazon river dolphins, have adapted to their unique environments, evolved distinctively from their marine relatives, and met the challenges of their new freshwater habitats.

Halocline: The ocean is layered like a cake! Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2023-12-23 | Did you know the ocean is layered like a cake? Water of different temperatures and different salinities don't like to mix, so they form layers with thin transition zones between them. You've experienced this with temperature if you've ever dove deep into a cold lake on a hot summer day. There are warm and cold layers and the transition is almost immediate.Here we can see the salt transition - the halocline, with the naked eye it's so thin.
Richard Dawkins: What can the old Macintosh teach us about genetics? Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually 2023-11-21 | Full interview can be found here: youtu.be/FdKQH3jxeLsWhat's the difference, genetically, between a human and a mouse? Surprisingly, not much. Richard Dawkins explains why. The answer is connected to what he learned as a computer programmer. There are many parallels between computer programming and genetics. Here, Richard Dawkins tells Jon Perry what his early days as a hobbyist programmer (working on the first Macintosh computers) taught him about higher level functions discovered in genetics.#RichardDawkins #JonPerry #MacintoshComputer
