    Many of you requested all of the 12 Days of Evolution episodes in one big video, so here it is! Share 'em one at a time, or share the whole thing
 whatever feels like the natural selection. I hope you enjoyed this series. It was definitely a challenge (a FUN challenge, of course) to make this many videos in a short time and to pack this much information into them. I'm really interested to hear your reactions and feedback, so hit me up on social media or leave a comment below and tell me what you thought. Any other subjects you'd like to see a miniseries on in the future? I'll be back in January with a new video!

    Felt so bad for that turtle drifting away, it was like .__. 'bye i guess cya later frank'

    I'm from 2019 and I confirm: the British do indeed exist still.
  • @Zackfish12345
    Every time I see a great evolution video I can’t help but think that most of the people who need to see it probably won’t.
  • As my biology teacher said: People who deny evolution just don't understand it
  • @raffydasquid174
    I love how he said why is the garbage dump next to the amusement park 😂
  • @pradeepyoi6975
    Man! It took me 4 years of my college to understand the evolution, and here you are completed in under 20 minutes. You are a legend dude
  • With sources like these, it's so hard to believe that people deny evolution
  • @BumMcFluff
    Reproductive isolation. Finally I have a title for my autobiography.
  • @mencibenci
    It's refreshing not to see creationists in the comments. Unexpected, but refreshing.
  • Good to see a video that does not need to bash creationist or feed any ones ego because they weren't unfortunate enough to be brainwashed by their upbringing. If you ever wish to convince someone that your point of view is correct, be nice and reasonable to them, goes for most situations in life.
  • My parents always said that you cant get through life by being good enough, I wonder what other lies I've been told
  • @timhow
    Could reproductive isolation happen with the humans who are being sent to colonise Mars? Could they eventually become so different to humans that we couldn't mate with them?
  • @ShivamKumar110
    In the language of Software Developer- 'Survival of the fit enough' will equate to 'If it works, don't touch the code!' That's the reason why men still have nipples! :D
  • @dacaveman6333
    My kids watch these on the way to school. Such great videos. Thank you
  • @rachelmarieLMT
    As an anthropologist the "if we came from "mokeys" why are there still monkeys?" drives me insane. Same with the "incredible human eye" argument against evolution. The human is is incredible but not nearly the most powerful or even most adapted in nature. Our eyes are crap compared to some species! Next argument please...lol
  • @afergie76
    A lot of animals “make it” until humans come along and make it extinct.
  • @cptpapa
    Love how this clip addresses a lot of questions people who believes in creation/young earth would ask when trying to prove evolution wrong.
