If you're about to leave a comment saying that faster creatures aren't actually less efficient, read this first. I presented that part a bit strangely.
At 2:14, I say moving quickly is less efficient, giving the example of a creature moving a unit distance in half the time, using twice the energy. Then, at 4:53, I show a formula for the energy cost per unit time, which depends on the square of the creature's speed.
I gave distance per time, energy per time, and distance per energy at separate parts of the video, and that was confusing.
So here's a more explicit summary.
If we double a creature's speed...
- its distance per time is doubled (the definition of speed)
- its energy per time is quadrupled (because it depends on the square of speed)
- its distance per energy is halved: (2x distance per time) / (4x energy per unit time)
That last bullet is the "efficiency" from the video. With its starting energy for a day, a 2x-speed creature can only travel half the distance.
Hoho that s what I understood !
Great video and impressive simulation !
Isn't it obvious, great video!
I love how you got to change the amount of food DURING the simulation. Most other channels would have to reset the whole simulation.
10/10 will come back again 👍
Hmmm I doubt that the energy/time should be the square of speed. That seems to me to be too high. I bet irl it's closer to being some function which uses the natural logarithmic function.
@@AmmoGus1 Some function involving ln I didn't mean simply taking the ln of the size. We could probably find that info online rather than speculate about it. I bet scientists have done studies on the energy costs of various sizes etc. of animals.

Humans are naturally curious but school kills that narural curiosity by making learning less fun and more difficult
@@t-boi8327 yes
yeah I love researching stuff but hate school now
@@t-boi8327 School's goal seems less like teaching valuable knowledge and more like preparing the student for a lifetime of hardships and constant working. Learning is made to be unnecessarily difficult and is limited to a time frame to make you a more "efficient" worker.
Those who drop out of school don't drop out because they don't have the intellectual capacity, it's because they don't have the patience to deal with the bullshit schools keep putting them through. In reverse, it also means that those who have managed to graduate aren't smart by default. Some really dumb people graduate because they spend their entire lives studying, staying on top of projects and homeworks.
School's just there to make the idea of wasting your entire life away working just to make ends meet seem a normal thing.
I'm a biologist and researcher in cell biology. I just discovered this channel and I have to say it is possibly the best way out there to quickly learn and understand how evolution works. Amazing modeling. Thanks!
Natural selection, while essential for evolution, is not exclusively a part of the theory of evolution. It is the cutting out of members of a population who are less suited to the current ecological conditions. It does not indicate how the better suited members arrived. Take for example the pepper moth. When Britain had a cold climate and there was a lot of snow, the white moths survived better. But when the climate warmed again, the darker moths survived better. Both sets of genes were always present within the pepper month's genome. It was the crossing over of the chromosomes which allowed variant expression of those genes, not mutations adding genes. And the crossing over of chromosomes is an incredibly complicated and sophisticated mechanism, very compatible with creation.

Very nice simulation. A fine example of "Survival of the Fittest". People always get that wrong. "Fittest" is not strongest or fastest, it's 'that which fits best' in its environment.

Ones which are more responsive to change are just more likely to survive. Inefficient species can still survive in their environment. It depends on the availability of resources, and these kinds of games/simulations can cause by design very specific situations which aren't as dynamic as a real environment. It's more like "over a given period of time, a population which 'fits best' is more likely to reproduce". Likely. Not "does"... The ideas of strong, fast, and fit (especially fitness as one-directional) play into the sort of Creationist dialogue that what we see is "perfect". No, what we see works. What often changes the game, on the other hand, is when species become proficient at thriving and over-consumption without significantly depleting their available resources.

It isn't just Capitalism and Communism.
There's a complete gradient scale, and not all capitalistic or communistic societies are created equal. Also I think the capitalism comment was a joke, while the humanity comment was the actual answer.
Have you seen humanity?
Do you know how much further we'd be if we put our funding and knowledge towards science rather than putting it towards war? We're all the same species, all more or less the same, living on Earth.
Yet we've drawn fake lines in the sand and we've decided we want more and more and more, so we kill ourselves to take it from ourselves. While simultaneously destroying the Earth, the very thing which gives us Life. We destroy forests, create cheap yet non biodegradable materials which leach into our water, food, and us. And we hunt other animals into extinction for the thrill or money. We could've been so much more, but our greed and prejudice ruined it. At this point it's hopeless, we've divided ourselves so much that we're not even divided by place of birth anymore, we're divided by literally every possible thing. May it be skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, I could go on for hours.
We are the press of a button away from nuclear armageddon, when instead we could've been a multi planetary species with no world hunger, educated populace, and little to no illness. But instead we put our resources into killing eachother, killing ourselves. We could have been so much more.

Got me going crosseyed in a good way. I can't pretend to understand it all, but you do a great job!
One crazy thing about natural selection is that it doesn't work towards perfection, it works towards, well, what works! In an AP Biology class you'll hear the question "why do that, when it could do this, this being more efficient" and the answer is that although you are correct in how it would be more efficient, it didn't happen and what we have now is just what worked when it was needed, and therefore was passed to future generations. Truly a fascinating phenomenon within natural selection and evolution!
Edit: Spelling
PoisonedDemon24 insightful
PoisonedDemon24 is your mom single?
It actually only has an illusion of "working towards" when that is not the case at all. It's just the name of a large collection of processes that aren't even related to evolution or even living things, they only happen to affect them. We can't actually define when it succeeds or fails because of this. It can cause species to go extinct or to become worse at survival just as much as it makes them more fit and both are equally valid results of "what works". Only with a selfish perspective do things like survival become akin to succeeding. Which is a flawed way of looking at things.
@St. Petersberg it's generally better to read up on what you're talking about before talking about it
you look pretty stupid now
@St. Petersberg ¿whats your point?
Damn, these are some high quality videos boi
Amazing content🔥
why am i so addicted to these videos? like, im not even trying to learn anything. im just watching blobs move around for hours
Me too
lmao i forgot i made this comment
Dude I want a game like this with tons of parameters. Like a puzzle game: I have an environment, and i need to create the best creature.
Like Spore?
Like a God?
@@thedudewiththeMG40 kind of, I don't like spore visuals so I never really tried it.
Like Aires?
Like Universe Sandbox, but with creatures
Wow, this is truly impressive. Immensely polished for a new channel - subscribed for sure, especially as a student of evolution as well. Look forward to more.
me too, what to you think he might make next?
@Whipsaw Yay, you are willfully ignorant!!
@Whipsaw I don't think you understand entropy at all. What the 2nd law says is that a closed system cannot enter into a state where is there is more "order". A part of the system can gain order, as long as this is somehow compensated in another part.
Now, is the Earth a closed system? Well, a system is closed when there is no energy coming in or out of it. And if you step outside you'll see a big red fucking burning bright ball in the sky called the Sun. It is sending a bit of energy towards us. You are right, life can't be sustained without an influx of energy, but it turns out that there is one right there. The day the Sun dies, we better find somewhere else to go.
Oh and all that thing about entropy and closed systems? Guess what, the sun "generates" a shitton of entropy. A shitton. Way more than enough to compensate whatever order exists in the plants that use its energy for photosynthesis. So congratulations on trying to sound smart. You are a shame to religious people.
@Whipsaw doesn't*
@@arnauadell4824 religious people are a shame
Oh, I love these simulations! I remember one where creatures with good metabolism but poor perception learned to hibernate, waiting for food to spawn close to the them.
Such an interesting experiment! Thank you for this Video
This is what Spore should have been like
Exactly...
Combine this with SpaceEngine. That'd be the spore what it should have been like ^^
Also the Space Stage could take some cues from Stellaris. :D
man, I had so much fun with the first few stages then it turned into an RTS... great creature editor but poor game, I wish they would revisit the concept.
they wanted to make a realistical simulation, that could be used even in accademia, then the "new" current in vg arrived, and to "widen" the audience, ea decided to opt for a "cute" version. This has driven the visionary ideator of this game to abandon game design forever
Everyone: Stay calm, don't panic over coronavirus.
CZcams: Here is a video about natural selection!
How reassuring!
Wheat and Tares atleast the blobs are cute
honestly though lets just try it out and see what happens
underrated comment hahahaha
@tre i agree, its sad to think about but humans are no better than any other mammal and we need to be able to weed out weak genes and we have not allowed this.
The natural selection have started in France with people who continue to go outside for nothing...
ngl i almost always watch these videos when im about to sleep. helps me wind down and you retain information better if you consume it soon before sleeping.
Very cool video. I liked the graphs updating after each iteration. First time seeing your stuff, definitely subscribing for more!
Ross Metcalf same here! Nailed it!
Ditto
If only all comments were still like this, useful, informing, and truthful. Nowadays people just beg for likes and write joke comments to get the most likes.
Mom: What are you watching?
Me: Blobs eating green balls
I love these videos so much omg
2:36 I love how this guy explained directional selection, stabilizing selection and disruptive selection is easy to understand terms.
holy crap you need more subs this is really cool
