Comparative Anatomy: What Makes Us Animals - CrashCourse Biology #21

[citysyde]

OK, none of don't know this, but this was well described, especially for our 10-12 year old kids, or grand kids.

Some basic biology, how we are different from plants, how Huxley contributed in the early 1800's, LOoh, yes, and Darwin!

We might all consider this as a new part of home schooling, if a few of us are into that. Actually, this might be good for any public schools for junior high kids.

ACTUALLY, I think most of us will learn one or two new facts from this, no matter how advanced we are.

Just curious: Why does this guy have a problem with sponges? Does he not know what a wonderful gift to evolution sponges are?

1. On sponges...

Sponges are sort of an exception to a lot of the "it's an animal!" rules. For all practical purposes they could be best-described as "proto-animals," since they are little more than structures of aggregate cells; A single sponge is pretty much several million individual organisms forming a communal body that manages to share food intake.

2. O'Reilly chased him with a loofah when he was a child??

3. That is a great find.

I think anyone could learn from this guy. As someone whose degree is in Biology Ed, I would definitely be willing to use this in a classroom....if I were working in that field.

I will have to watch the rest of the videos later.
