There are two ways to interpret that whole the chicken has the same bones, organs, tissues, etc as me and they're all in roughly the same place as me. The first way is as you put it, obviously we're all of the same lineage of life and evolved from some common ancestor (this is my view. The second way to see it though is that the creator of your choosing was employing design patterns and simply reused the same ideas with minor variations because there's no reason to come up with anything different once you've arrived at something that works. All these creatures need to be able to grasp things and use simple tools, I'll give them all hands. All these creatures need to be able to extract oxygen from the air for the purposes of cellular respiration, I'll give them all lungs and hearts and iron-based blood and a liver so that they can all do that. I don't believe in a higher power but I also don't think there's a way to use logic to prove or disprove the influence of an ethereal creator of life and the universe, simply by definition. We have no means of contemplating, testing, or proving extraphysical phenomena.

SO. Love that you made this video. Years ago when I started getting into foraging I went on a deep dive of asparagaceae. Immature Yucca stalks are also edible and taste like a giant asparagus stalk. You've got to get them at 1/3 of their full height for them to be tender pretty much the whole way but using a kitchen peeler you can take the fibrous outer layer off at the base and eat the tender inner stalk after cooking. I found a blanch then roast coated in olive out and salt, wrapped in foil was good. The water step is important as each species has varying levels of saponins and that helps extract them and remove any bitterness. A long soak in water in the fridge overnight can also help if you've got a plant that is particularly bitter. If you take it 1/3 grown the tissue is still quite meristematic and low in saponins compared to the rest of the plant. The flower petals are great as well, I tend to remove the centre ovary as it doesn't contribute much and tends to be more bitter. Really love those through an omelette

I had some sansevieria plants that previous owner left in the flat. Probably the only thing I could do wrong with them was to forget them on the balcony in the winter, and it's exactly what I have done (in my excuse, I left very abruptly because staying was troublesome and somewhat dangerous at the time; but I definitely had enough time to get them inside, even accounting for procrastination. RIP sansevierias.
Not sure what it has to do with the topic of the video (besides the fact that these are also succulents, just a comment to support the video.

Belief in evolution/us having similarities with animals is no reason to reject the idea that we are inherintly diffirent and that we have god given diffirences to animals. Sure, biologically, we have simularities, but mentally and emotionally, there are many diffirences. Im sure you already know this and have heard this but just know that not every religious person is somebody who submits their intellect to blind following of stuff that doesnt make sense. You may have this notion because most religious people you know are christian.

For the last time, where are the millions and millions of transitional lifeforms There should be millions of transitions in between fish and monkeys and monkeys and humans, yet there aren't. Neither can we find any legitimate fossils of said transitional lifeforms. If you want to convince people evolution is real you need concrete proof like atheists demand when they ask for proof God exists. Stop acting like you have the answers when the best you have is a thousand guesses built on a theory no one can prove.

Yes, Adam, please more like this! I'm a mycologist/forager, and learning about the whole range of foods we eat, from wild to cultivated, is fascinating to me. Of course, I'm a big fan of _Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't, _ which is in a whole different register, but he goes all over the world to share his unique insights with us. Following you to botanical gardens and other locations would be great.
Hurray for asparagus season - we're in a growing region here, and it's such a treat.

Haven't you ever cooked a chicken Most people I know don't cook whole chicken, in fact, I think deboned and deskinned is the most common in my social circle, so I could definitely see cooking as not providing the basic anatomy lesson you expect. I DO cook whole chicken, but I haven't made one in awhile, because the oven in my old apartment stank to high heaven and had poor heat control

5: 40 Bacteria do not reproduce through spores. Bacteria generally reproduce through simple binary fission. Bacteria do produce endospores, which sound very similar, but these are non-reproductive structures and are instead used for survival in extreme conditions. Spores are exclusive to plantae and fungi kingdoms (and some other plant-like or fungas-like eukaryotes.

this is a bit out of left field but since you have that steak with asparagus there and you are, after all, that steak guy you might be interested in the dish i made a week ago:
steak au poivre with sauteed green asparagus, fresh strawberries, and some mafaldine coated in pureed strawberry & red wine. it was the absolute best steak dish i ever had.

Anyone who has dissected a pig or butchered a pig or cattle understands how close we are to other mammals. But chickens We have over 300 million years of evolution between us and chickens. Somewhere around 306 million years ago, amniotes diverged between sauropsids (the ancestors of reptiles and birds) and synapsids (The ancestors of mammals.

The 99% genetic similarity with chimps is a myth, the original proposal simply removed sections that were too different, thus only counting small differences in sections that are very similar. Naturally we share a lot on metabolism, enzymes, hormones, etc, but looking at that exclusively is dishonest, and that's where that figure comes from.

I just came back from Nazas, Durango, Mexico (Eclipse. I did see quite a few cacti that may have been agave.
Also, as I arrived at the airport, there was a couple of men chopping down the stalk from a plant in the median. I had presumed they didn't want it to fall onto the road, but maybe they were harvesting for themselves.

I read that aloe and agave were not closely related. For me, that's a good thing - I like tequila, and I'm allergic to aloe.
Tony Avent's garden is amazing! We go somewhat frequently when it's open to the public. My mother also worked there many years ago, so I've seen its evolution over the past couple of decades.

8: 17 and they literally use pig parts in humans. Also, pigs are used for dissection for teaching because their anatomical system is similar to humans. They have shared traits that include common hair, mammary glands, live birth, similar organ systems, metabolic levels, and basic body form.

8: 32 About the chickens: I've butcher roosters before. It's pretty clear that there are a lot of similarities when you look for them, including those 2 little bean like things as well that you take out, of which aren't found in hens. Things lines up alright!

science has failed to show that humans and animals are alike in any way at all is such a transparently ignorant and incorrect statement. Someone who says that isn't someone who's interested in learning and is probably blinded by fundamentalist Christianity.

6: 29 In Mexico we DO actually eat the flower stalks of agave: it’s called quiote (pronounced kee-oh-teh) if you are interested. It’s usually baked in an oven until it becomes sweet. It’s like an oversized sugar cane shoot in terms of texture (and taste.

This pod/vod hybrid format is definitely working pretty good. I hope it's as much easier to produce as its new frequency would imply.
More Adam nerds out about a thing is always good, and if you are enjoying it more this way, I'd call that a win-win.

EDIT: Accidental botanist fact-check/clarification thread:
2: 28 This is an acceptable pronunciation, but most botanists pronounce that last ae like ee. So the whole -aceae family suffix is pronounced like you would read the letters A-C-E.
