    Why does the channel have a new name?
    As you may have noticed, the channel has changed its name from "Society of Geeks" to "neo".
    And to make this clear: It's not about a change of ownership, it's just taste.
    When I launched the channel almost 3 years ago, I would have never thought the videos would get the attention they now have. The initial scope of the types of topics were very limited but now has expanded. The channel was thought to deal primarily with analysing films but now they have become more political. And the name should have the flexibility to fit for both aspects, as well as for any genres in the future that I can’t even think of right now.
    And with this new name, it feels right to approach the next goals and really develope the channel into something exciting.
    Thanks for your understanding.
    Video Description:
    Have you ever heard about Quaggas?
    As their distribution in southern Africa was very limited and they were easy to find and kill, it became vulnerable to extinction ever since dutch colonists settled in south Africa, who started hunting them for their meat or for their skin.
    In 1883, the last know Quagga died in the Zoo of Amsterdam and it was believed to have joined the many species, with no chance of ever returning. But now, more than a century later, the Quagga is back

    There is an important part of DNA cloning you didn't mention and which was not known by the researchers who cloned the first sheep: Methylation. The methylation pattern is incredibly important in having viable clones. That is something not carried over in a standard PCR reaction unfortunately. This means that while the DNA in those zoos may be helpful in recreating life; they may or may not contain the useful information we need to properly clone a viable species. Still, I have hope for the future. We will eventually figure it all out. Biology is still a relatively young field of science. :)

      Helius Infinitus -- Agreed:
      The Epigenetic role, where methyl tags squeeze or release genes to modulate expression based on environmental influence certainly has a role.
      BUT, Mr. SocietyofGeeks didn't really delve in to making this a medical explanation. I loved it.
      To discuss epigenetics for you and others... I'll post a reply here and above:
      Due to the caste system in India, populations anyone who seems they could be Vysya, are asked as a matter of routine, by anesthesiologists. The standard drugs would kill them.
      Boys who had experienced a “feast” immediately pre-puberty, when their sperm cells are maturing ... died on average six years earlier than the grandsons of Överkalix boys who had been exposed to a famine season during the same pre-puberty window, and often of diabetes. When a statistical model controlled for socioeconomic factors, the difference in lifespan became 32 years, all dependent simply on whether a boy’s grandfather had experienced one single season of starvation or gluttony just before puberty. It appeared that Överkalix grandfathers were somehow passing down brief but important childhood experiences to their grandsons. Bygren knew such a suggestion would be heretical.
      Though I focused on the male reproductive system, the female reproductive system is subject to insult as well ... women whom, as a fetus were subjected to hypo caloric states, had an impact on THEIR children, generations removed
      Lars Bygren, a Swedish health researcher from Överkalix -- had access to a WEALTH of data, the interest of having chosen the field, and the ability to trace his ancestors, in detail -- back to 1475. What researcher armed with such records could resist!?
      (The SHIT poor Kepler put up with from Tycho Brahe -- to get his research. But look at all the laws Kepler provided for us!!? )
      They kept records of birth, death, and agricultural yields for perhaps 1000 years. He drilled down on the data.
      Simply put:
      Group A:
      Effect on the male reproductive system of adequate calories immediately preceding puberty.
      DIED 3 years below the groups mean; 6 years earlier than those calorie restricted, of heart disease.
      Group B:
      Effect on the male reproductive system of caloric deficit immediately preceding puberty.
      Lived 3 years longer than the avg.; 6 years longer the well fed group; but instead died of diabetes.
      Another study: 5,451 smokers with 166 pre-pubescent smokers.
      Those who smoked PREpubescently -- had children who're fatter, even when compared to, EVEN when compared to children of men who habitually smoked.
      They started smoking AFTER puberty.
      MALE GROUP
      (A) ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULI
      (B) (B)(C)Distinction... (B): IMMEDIATELY [PRE] PUBERTY
      (C) ENGAGED IN (B) POST PUBESCENT
      (D) GENERATION EFFECTED.
      (E) CORRELATION (IDK the mechanistic cause)
      1. (A) FAMINE (B)YES (C)NO (D)Grand-Children. (E) Avg AGE + 3yrs (HEART FAILURE)
      2. (A) FAMINE (B)NO (C)YES (D)Grand-Children. (E) Avg AGE - 3yrs (DIABETES)
      3. (A) SMOKERS (B)YES (C)N/A (D)CHILDREN. (E) OBESITY
      4. (A) SMOKERS (B)NO (C)YES (D)CHILDREN. (E) NORMAL
      Though it flew in the face of contemporaneous dogma, that, "the experiences DIED with the individual," when you have a claim based on large numbers ... intellectual honesty that:
      - Falsifiable / testable
      - Parsimonious
      - Has a narrow error margin...
      THE JIG IS UP.
      Orthodoxy must yield; for science is an integrated field.
      Over time, more things will corroborate that which is true.
      Others will only make SENSE in the context more comprehensive findings...
      Including retrodictions.
      The fact that the timing was essentially the same but different in women further corroborates the epigenetic model; hypo caloric states vs. normal intake during GESTATION, when the eggs are made, had the same sorts of effects as did calorie restriction did to men.
      Like all things medical, as long as this is, it barely scratches the surface. I apologize for errors I made. Obviously I copied data, but I tried to word this in a way that was easiest to get.

      ​@@trumanhw Did the researchers account for confounding factors like the changes in diet and lifestyle of the generations over time? Both diabetes and heart disease are linked to obesity and increased animal product consumption. I imagine the older generations would have been consuming less meat and leading more active lives than their offspring, which would almost certainly have some influence over disease onset and progression. I'm presuming this was accounted for, but my knowledge of epigenetics is limited to say the least. Do you have a link to the research you're referencing by any chance?

      While I am not opposed to de-extinction efforts, I do worry that they often take away vital interest and funding for proven traditional conservation efforts. An example of this is the sad fact that far more funding and effort is going into trying to resurrect the northern white rhino, a subspecies not all that separated from its much more common southern relative. Meanwhile two vastly more evolutionary important species, Sumatran and Javan rhinos, are both on the brink of extinction themselves. Food for thought.

    Actually, de-extinction is impossible due to the simple fact that the genetics will be far too different. Saying that mammoths can be revived using the Asian elephant is like calling the grolar bear a cave bear. The same would happen with the mammoth. Instead of actually getting a mammoth, you'd get a "mammophant" because hybridization exists.

      @mame9562 Před 3 lety +6

      This is exactly what they're trying to do, de-extinction isn't literally making the same mammoth species from thousands of years ago. It's about making a sort of hybrid animal of some kind to look similar to the prehistoric mammoth using selective breeding and filling in the same niche that was once fulfilled by a mammoth. That's how the new Quagga was made. It wasn't an actual Quagga, but an animal that went through selective breeding to look similar.

      Yeah and the reintroduction is kind of a failure and was rushed tho.
      And there's still only one region with lion because they refuse other reintroduction because being the only one to have these make thel feel special.
      Despite the fact that the specie need to be reintroduced in the rest of the country and suffer from inbreeding.
      As for tiger some of your reserve got completly depleted of any tiger recently and same for rhino which are nearly all in only one Park.
      Elephant and deers, wild pigs, monkeys and buffaloes and gaur too are still decreasing and nearly extinct.
      And gharial are not doing well either.
      Same for the dholes
      And thats if we forget baiji.
      Anyway there's a lot of species that can be reintroduced.
      Ostriches
      Wild horses
      Start breeding back the zebu auroch (Europe as already done that with their auroch for decade now)

      @@deinsilverdrac8695 I think you're perceiving the picture in a unilaterally negative way brother.
      What's your basal criteria to declare the cheetah project a failure? As clarified by a South African expert, 50% mortality is not abnormal, such instances have happened with cheetah reintro in African reserves as well. Has it officially been recognised as failure yet? There have been some natural deaths & early age cub deaths which're being conveniently counted into the total death toll to exaggerate it (so far total 9 deaths out of 24 I suppose). Lets not have an unfair approach! Its too early to be declared as anything as of yet!
      What shouldn't be overlooked is, India is a natural cheetah habitat & is a historic range of that animal. Reintroduction will not only enhance the native Indian biodiversity, but also elevate the importance of habitually ignored grassland ecosystem.
      I agree that lions should be shifted to more than one park. Now this idea has more support than it previously had & should be acted upon expeditiously.
      Rhino reintro has met with resounding success outside Kaziranga in Assam, & they're being reintroduced to UP & Bihar as well. Vulturs, Gharials are recovering. Tiger population is up by 40%. Steady rise in lions noted in Gir. Indian leopard count has jumped up by 63% in four years, number of Elephants, Hog Deers, Swamp Deers, Indian Dolphins have increased in many pockets (as skipped by you).
      We already have feral horses in Assam.
      If numbers rise up in their native habitat, we can attempt to bring back Asiatic Cheetah subspecies, Javan & Sumatran rhinos too. We can get Green Peacocks on broad scale as well. What's wrong in reintroducing lost species?
      For Ostrich, Arabian Ostrich would have been a marvelous choice for India, unfortunately that's extinct so maybe we can get "the closet African species to Arabic Ostrich" for reintroduction in India. That's a truly "wild" but achievable dream.
      For a pure exotic species like giraffe, Tapir maybe a safari is a better idea in India than its introduction.
      And for Zebu, let's not intermix revival & reintroduction. Isn't the case of Zebu is of revival and not reintroduction?
      I'm not going to go one way like you, there have been some negative reports on animal population as well like number of Dholes, Wild Boars, Monkeys have dropped. And I wholeheartedly agree that they need more attention.
      What is completely ridiculous is to associate declining population (if any) of any other animals with the cheetah reintroduction. Both these things should be seen in their own right first. Declining tigers for instance, need better vigilance in the jungles & habitat conservation, it doesn't need abolition of cheetah reintro. How can a grassland beast (cheetah) compensate for forest beast (tiger) anyways.
      I agree that the project could have been handled with more diligence & expertise, and could possibly be a failure (or a success otherwise) but this NEVER EVER means the idea of bringing cheetah back in India is wrong. We should get them back again with more care & field wisdom. There have been consistent attempts by vested politicians & leftist media to tarnish & demoralised cheetah reintro efforts just becoz it's success will benefit to the image of present right wing govt. Unfortunately such tendencies shadow the actual ground reality for the supporters & the opponents alike. No doubt there have been lacunae & shortcomings but the idea of Cheetah back is great & should be fulfilled for this great nation!
      PS: There's massive & popular support for Cheetah reintroduction in India. Cheetah is a Sanskrit name, can there be a greater bond between India & Cheetah than this one.

      ​@@glenbe4026 I definitely value constructive criticism like this and I know it's not a personal attack. I see what you mean but I believe that for this video is does make sense to explain it this way. Apart from the short teaser before the Intro-animation, the first 6 minutes of the video don't talk about the Quagga Breeding project. Then when it comes to that project, the video explains the history of it, which includes the information that Reinhold Rau discovered that the Quagga's DNA matched the Plains Zebra. Our intention was to make it clear that the breeding project was based on that discovery, that's why we structured it this way. Now I could see that your criticism is therefore about the very beginning of the video and how it was phrased there. But also there I believe it's obvious that the history is explained - people did believe it was it's own species - and it was declared extinct - so they believed - but now - it's back - intro animation.
