I could also imagine that some cultures have a very strict 'first born' inheritance that is only matrilineal as in the inheritor will be female when they inherit, basically an expectation of the first born to be or become female

Now make a con lang for them

17:59 pause

I can't remember seeing anything as cool as this one UA-cam.Watching this history unfold has been a tremendous joy, made learning about biology really fun and made me feel a great appreciation for the intricacy and beauty of life, nature and our relationship with it. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video :3

I have deeply loved this series and this video even more so. It has been incredible and genuiely mind opening to see the revolution of sapience from an "outsiders" perspective. Humans are truly incredible thank you

You could also define Sapience as: “the ability to know good from evil.”

Gongratulations! You have just competed the Creature Stage!

What did you use to create the images of your creatures and plants? Love the videos! It's amazing how you listed everything you referenced and used, very helpful!!

Who's here after watching Part 15? Hard to believe its been nearly 5 years.

spider wolves

Poeta! Bedada busa halka hakamos? I'm making my own personal conlang now :) It's called Hendefota. Translations: "Hi! How's your day presently/today?" "Silent-Tongue"

1:31:27 Small critique of the video: "patriotism" and "nationalism" are entirely modern concepts, directly tied to the emergence of nation states in the 18th and 19th Centuries. For most of human history our concept of a "country" was less associated with ones who live in it and more with the ones who rule it. A country was primarily seen as the domain the ruler, and "loyalty to your country" first and most meant loyalty to your ruler, not to the "country" in an abstract sense, or to your fellow countrymen.

Bravo!

34:37 I feel called out

But....now what? What WILL the next vid be?

8:19 this idea was explored in the book Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, highly recommend it for people who enjoy this series!

I think you need to consider your language as smthn spoken by people who are lazy or at least efficient. If smthn works, why, naturalistiaclly, would someone fix it.

I tried to make a conlang for a culture based on my understanding of romans, greeks, and christians... Didn't work.

Well, the real trash was the friends we made along the way................................. .....wait

Many moments of this video allow me to feel the seething of religious people and I enjoy that

You really injected your own politics into it pretty hard.

I’m starting to notice that a lot of these species look kinda like animals on Earth. Imagine dropping a human on this world. They would immediately be able to see that an oligopod is a lot like a horse and might even try and tame it and ride it. I would love to see some sort of survival video game on this world!

These aliens are something you would probably see in a game similar to Mass Effect.

Though it's interesting that even in sapient Neotectons eldest females will be the best to create offspring, i'd expect that behaviour to change as their lifespans become longer. Even though they don't experience menopause, and their gametes don't degrade faster than somatic cells, aging would still be a problem. As less and less neotectons die from outside factors like predators or hunger, their health would become worse at the end of their lives, as death would usually result from health issues coming from degradation of the organism. Unless their reproductive behaviour is changed, gene mutations in gametes and overall loss of fitness with age would make imroving safety and quality of life an evolutionary disadvantage, as the most prolific clans would also produce the least numerous and healthy offspring. It would be probable, if matriarchs would eventually lose fertility simply because of aging (as human males often do too), or if some anatomic mechanism would prevent them from being fertile longer, than their prehistoric lifespan have allowed them to. After all, grandmother hypothesis, as well as others that suggest menopause as evolutionary adaptaion, can't fully explain how it evolved, as it was extremely unusual for early Homo sapiens to live to 50. Elder women were simply too rare to have any meaningful evolutionary advantage. There could also be an instinctive pressure to form a pair at a younger age, if males retain the preference for females of an average age of forming a pair in prehistoric times. So to compensate for all of that, the social and reproductive matriarch status will split, and oldest females could "resign" and pass down the breeding rights to younger females, while still being in charge of the clan. Or maybe gaining and losing breeding rights will be tied to a certain age, with initiation ceremonies for young females to prove their maturity

Ulazredhun is absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely love this series and look forward to more exploration on it!! I have a burning question though; would human infants illicit a car response in the matriarchs? Small, pink wiggly things sure but the eyes might put them off. I’m so curious about how human culture would interact with theirs.

I loved this video and the whole series but it felt like this video glossed over something very very important in the creation of civilization - agriculture! Yes eating meat and cooking all food was very important in human evolution but the paleotectons and neotectons are unlikely to form entire civilizations without a more omnivorous agricultural lifestyle. It certainly would be possible but there's a reason we see agricultural settler societies outperforming, subduing/oppressing/enslaving/exterminating/evicting nomadic societies here on Earth. This deserved some more mention perhaps, I think? But still an instant UA-cam classic of a video, I assure you!!

The next step would be to create some kind of conlang that both humans and neotects could understand. Due to their biology neotect languages would probably have on average more complicated grammatical gender than human languages. A lot of word meanings would probably only make sense in the context of neotect biology and culture. From the human side the Conlang would probably borrow a lot of words and grammatical structures from English and French simply because of how widely spoken they are. This conlang would probably develop from the 2 species living together and at first would be a purely spoken language. The script to this language wouldn't develop organically but would be engineered

Hundreds of hours of trying to come up with a cool spore name, and I dont think I'll ever top the "Dromovenator." So cool! But also... Where flight?

Im so happy I was here since episode 2, to see the growth in quality of the videos as well as the complexity of the topics was absolutely amazing. I actually really wanted to contribute some art but I always put it off…. Guess I’ll be there for the next project!

Waiiiit was this whole ongoing for years series just about showing us the similarities with an arbitrary snd extremely alien biosphere so that we may be influenced into thinking more about our own place in the universe and our relations to not jus tour fellow people but our planet? You cheeky little philosopher you

This makes me wonder, actually. Considering how important the breeder/helper mentality is to their society, would homosexuality be seen as a primarily builder trait? I mean, the builders aren't meant to be breeding anyway, wouldn't it make it seem "acceptable" that they engage with the same sex romantically as opposed to romance between male and female, while it would be looked upon with discomfort or outright frowned upon for breeders to be interested in one another?

worm babies 😍

I think ive watched this six times now and it still hasn't gotten old

I want to show this video to my friend and tell him it's the carboniferous period and see how long it takes him to notice.

So in spider society being male is a skill issue

29:29 God covid would fuck them up something fierce

10:14 Ah yes...eight. A definitely natural number for a human to choose and not at all arbitrary like, I don't know, five.

11:46 How come the islands (besides Pyronesia) weren’t initially populated by their own invasions of land? They were around in the time period covered in part 4 Quote at 11:46 : "None of the mainland clades will have had any presence on these landmasses, since they evolved after these islands were already separated, so everything that comes to live there will have had to disperse there from elsewhere"

my language Wo-Re-Ke-Ro-No or mud-writing is just as it says, the language writes in sand but.\ and just a thought but what if there was place where people could make a community language

Would there be some sort of huge taboo towards the females that wanted to be male, since males can naturally transition into females but not the other way aroungd?

Transfem aliens real!!!

Hmm... on one hand, I'm saddened by the loss of so many species that I've had the pleasure of watching evolve and thrive. On the other, I am horrified by some of the new species. On the third hand, new opportunities abound.
