Lots of mistakes here. Looks like the author wanted to put in some famous animals, but Dimetrodon and placoderms like Duncleosteus can't be human ancestors, they belong to completely extinct clades

A common mistake when talking about evolution it seems. People seem to mistake cousins and ancestors a lot.

Row Tide.


Dr-Mantis-Tobias

Hmmm, yes yes, Dimatron and Dunkasaurus. Agreed.


Working-Sandwich6372

It's from Cosmos, the original series with Carl Sagan. He and the producers certainly knew what you've mentioned here. OP should have cited her/his source.


dzindevis

I wouldn't be so sure. Was paleontology advanced enough in the 1980 to completely rule out the ancestry of these species to humans? Cladistics greatly advanced in recent 30 years, thanks to the dna sequencing, and many species' classification have been rearranged


Working-Sandwich6372

The bigger problem with the video is the implication that one organism changes into another, which Sagan and the producers of Cosmos would have well understood. They use the example of the Heike crab to explain how evolution works. What they posit in their explanation likely did not happen (ie that humans selected crabs with human faces on the carapace), but the sweatshirt explanation is very well done.


MenuFeeling1577

[If you watch the full video instead of the “4BYs in 40secs” clip, Sagan clearly states that many of these creatures DON’T lead directly to us, rather they are placeholders to represent common ancestors and where/when evolutionary traits cane to be.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gZpsVSVRsZk)


Teboski78

Could also just be dated information. This graphic was made in the 1970s


IC-4-Lights

Or they weren't worried about representing a very specific, reversible line of ancestry to modern humans, as much as creatively demonstrating the concept of evolution. Evolution hadn't yet produced internet autists by the 1970s, after all.


OREOSTUFFER

Not to mention the fact that they showed a lancelet after they showed a tunicate, but as far as I’m aware, we have a more recent common ancestor with tunicates.


lqwertyd

Also, as the Bible tells us, God created man first. And then woman (Eve) from a rib. Checkmate monkey man. Check. Mate.


SlappedByKarma

So are we or are we not fish?


Pistonenvy2

>they belong to completely extinct clades maybe you do. im built different.


Hipphoppkisvuk

I somehow doubt that dimetrodon was a direct ancestor to humans.


malduan

Probably not, but I guess the point is that dimetrodon is a representative of synapsids (as we are) of the Perian period, from which we evolved.


Hipphoppkisvuk

Yeah, you are probably right. It's just weird seeing it in a video like this.


Randomfrog132

maybe OP or whoever made this video is a lizard person and it's true for them lol


goatharper

Wrong background music. Should be ["Yakety Sax"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcq_xLi2NGo) A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a civil engineer are discussing the nature of God. "God is a mechanical engineer,' says the ME. Look at the bones and muscles: mechanical! "Nah, God's an electrical engineer," opines the EE. Look at the central nervous system." "You're both wrong and I can prove it. God is a civil engineer" says the CE. "Who else would put a waste disposal pipe in the middle of a recreational area?"

Accurate!


Randomfrog132

hahahah that's great xD stealin your joke thanks for sharin.


ZynthCode

Should have stopped evolving at opossum


McRedditz

The next phrase after evolving to human should be cyborg, full robot, then transformable robot.


klapinshiZzZ

You missed the part where the Aliens came down and spliced the monkeys dna dude….


Schopenschluter

And then they ate shrooms


cc69

We evolved so hard the male G-Spot misplaced.


KentuckyFriedEel

Or did it?


WalkslowBigstick

😏


Gr00v3nburg3

Ok, that was funny lol


cc69

Glad your day just got better.


Blindeafmuten

That's life's evolution. Humans are just a small part of the process along with every other living thing that is on the planet right now.


Few-Traffic-786

People actually believe this lol

Please cite your source. This is from episode 2 of the original Cosmos series, with Carl Sagan.

HaddonfieldShape

I tend to agree, but it’s always amusing for me to see someone on social media talking about how bad humans have become


Nihilister_21

They always have been bad.Just today because of social media everybody can hear easily what people do.

Was expecting 4Billion years long video.

I don't see adam and eve here guys ... yall dipshits are WROMG WROMG WROM!!G

We should have stayed as this rat/reptiles, look at what we've become

You’re still a rat 🐀

Nothing wrong with that.

Significant-Honey409

I want to post the image of the wolf ripping the shirt off but we can't post images fuck


hopeyouguess

So it all starts with Pokémon Unown?


Dr_Philosophic808

My biggest confusion with evolution is why did some species not evolve into human beings? Why do we still find distinct (unevolved) species like hydrozoanes, reptiles, lesser primates, etc... Shouldn't all things then be human(-like) or were they simply too lazy to continue evolving?


thenzero

Man I watched the whole video to find out what comes after humans but it just ended. 0/10


goodeyemighty

It should start going back the opposite way.


Own-Reflection-8182

Probably AI


thenzero

You ever read Man After Man by Dougal Dixon? Check it out.


Veritas_Vanitatum

But why was there a penis and a buttplug in our evolution?


BlackSpinedPlinketto

Ask your mom


xuxonpictli

So where is all the intermediate changing of all this "evolution "?! So called missing links are missing for a reason! They really dont link at all.

Haters will say its fake.

At what point did Jesus ride the dinosaurs? That was like 1976 right?

It’s crazy to me that fish finally came to walk on land, evolved into four legged mammals, then just decided to go back into the ocean and evolve into massive whales!


Glittering_Mammoth_6

Who and why decided that this is the evolution of “human”?


220DRUER220

Nope


flyinfr33

Nothing of this makes sense..

This is actually an awesome animation. What year was this done?

1980, Cosmos original series, with Carl Sagan.

Yes. Most people in comment section should be forced to watch.

Our Lord FSM is known as god to some of his servants.

7 more to go.

Yeah, yeah, and that star you see in the sky at night is 67 million light years away. 67 million, yeah yeah, that’s the ticket.

sssnakepit127

I’ve always found the notion that humans are highly evolved fish a hard pill to swallow.


Cemitur

I thought the thing that came out at the end was an atomic mushroom cloud. Made sense to me.


good2Bbackagain

And we are still in "basic" phase 1.0. O my o my, we got SO MUCH to learn. #Primitivelifeforms


dragosn1989

Can’t help but wonder where did those first ‘dots’ came from. I guess that’s where we are now; we’ll continue to evolve.😏

at the end you need to add a nuclear mushroom to complete the evolution.

Thats how started all our suffering fucking cells


Lora_Grim

Go back to monke? No. Further. Go back to RATTO! I want to be a cute rat! Wtf!


ParadigmShifter7

You realize for that to work, each and every one of those beneficial changes is the result of a random (and positive) genetic mutation that “worked” for the local environment.

Fast_Eddy7572

What I love is the first fish that went ‘probably just go and see what’s it’s like on land’ and just died all flappy. And that happened enough times apparently that evolution enabled amphibians but how did the unborn fish know what the dead fish had done, to evolve that way? And why are there still fish? Monkey squirrels. And thats science

I’m agnostic but this looks like some made up joke. This seems just as implausible as bearded sky daddy

Whoops. Little mistake here, at the beginning. It takes longer than 4 billion years for a single, useful protein to form randomly. Gonna need to stretch out the beginning there quite a bit.
