bill nye talks dogs and explores the lessons of canine evolution
Bookmarked 579 weeks ago
bill nye the science guy returns to big think to discuss evolution this time from a canine point of view nye explains how dogs evolved out of an early human-wolf interaction which today benefits both species he also draws a comparison between dog breeds and the social construct of race claiming that both are man-made myths not steeped in science bill039s latest book is quotundeniable: evolution and the science of creationquotread more at bigthinkcom: http:googlo8urfollow big think here:youtube: http:googlcptsv5facebook: https:wwwfacebookcombigthinkdotcomtwitter: https:twittercombigthinktranscript: i love dogs as much as the next guy i talk to dogs in preparing this book i spoke with dogs at length maybe i spoke more to dogs than with them but theyre all dogs thats the thing i know we all love our kennel club show we all go there we obsess about whether our dog is a pug jack russell terrier mix with corgi overtones and an oaky finish an approachable little dog whatever theyre all dogs okay and so the idea of a purebred is just a human construct theres no such thing in a sense theres no such thing as a purebred dog and thats i dont have a problem with that thats the way it is by the way you talk to any veterinarian and theyll tell you that a mutt is a much healthier dog generally because they have this mix of genes theyre not inbred they havent made the same gene repeat too many times and so its funny its charming to me but theres a great lesson to be learned dogs are a descendent either from wolves or from one ancestor before wolves but what you and i think of as a modern wolf may or may not be the direct what led to a modern dogpeople talk about this as im writing the book in the next five years it will probably be resolved somebody will come up with a definitive answer to that but anyway apparently these experiments were done with foxes which are just the coolest thing where the foxes that were friendlier that they were more comfortable around people they were allowed to approach they were allowed to use human food after just three generations they had floppy scritchable ears and they were much more like dogs and it just shows you that dogs are almost certainly a result of a human wolf ancestor interaction as we became friends with them they became friends with us and we have a dependency thats charming its enriched both the dog lives and the human lives its really quite an insight and its a result of evolution the other lesson to be learned from dogs for me is since theyre all dogs its just if you have a dachshund and a great dane and they interact can we say interact on big think if they interact all you get is a dog you dont get any new thing new species you just get a dog in the same way if a papua new guinean hooks up with a swedish person all you get is a human theres no new thing youre going to get you just get a human japanese woman jumping the african guy all you get is a human theyre all humans so this is a lesson to be learned there really is for humankind theres really no such thing as race theres different tribes but not different races were all one speciesdirectedproduced by jonathan fowler elizabeth rodd and dillon fitton
