- The many odd “rules” and “laws” of organisms and nature. Short and simple list video I hope you guys enjoy
There aren’t any true sources for this video, instead, I used the main article from Wikipedia (along with all articles attached) to make this video. Many of the rules don’t have full articles. I also left out a few rules I thought would be too complicated or uninteresting to explain.

3:46 So we can never return to monke. But we can still evolve to crab.
All things move ever forward unto crab. Sometimes we have a rebellious phase, but they always come back
sorry to ruin the joke but technically we were never monkeys
@@him1517
We're apes, hominids, big monke
Aren't we already?
Two front limbs as graspers ✔️
The rest for mobility ✔️
Roughly omnidirectional movement ✔️
@@revimfadli4666 not how science works
An example of Dollo's rule is whales. When the 4 legged terrestrial ancestors of modern whales returned to the sea, they didn't re-evolve gills or fins like fish. They evolved new structures that serve the same purpose but were constructed from the raw materials available.
Perhaps snake would be an example as well. They lost their legs when they became subterranean and didn’t regain them once on the surface.
that or the flightless birds/insects that assumed a different shape than the one they had befor becoming winged
Also flightless birds who don't re-evolve arms or a tail is a good example. Landed bird does not = dinosaur
@@outsidechambaz Is it.
I was severely confused for a second because I thought you were talking about Wales
Shout out to river turtles who re evolved the ability to diffuse oxygen from water despite not having gills, just a veiny cloaca and a dream.
What kind of evolution do you people subscribe to? Monkey to man? 😂
@@koppite9600 haha 🤣
@@koppite9600 Yes? Can't say I understand the humor. Except for the original comment, that's one funny dimetrodon
@@zehkiel8018 that's not science at all. Those pics in bio textbooks showing human progress from crouching position is not evolution it's a mistake that has stayed.
@@koppite9600 I mean, yeah. Science art isn't science. We have little idea what the path may have been. Do you mean to say that man aren't related great apes?
Dollo's Rule is commonly misinterpreted to mean "an animal can never have the same traits its ancestors did" when it actually means that it'll never be able to get rid of its genes it got in the meantime. It is most accurately used when talking about backbreeding the now extinct ancestors of cows and horses: even if a cow or horse is breed to have roughly the same traits as their ancestors, they will still, genetically speaking, be cows and horses instead of aurochs and tarpans.
Thanks, I was very confused in this one
I'm a geologist and we also have "laws" that on the surface are extremely obvious or all encompasing like Foster's rule (yeah, animals growing bigger or smaller on islands basically leaves no box unchecked, it's just the two options available).
I like to think most of them rather than groundbreaking discoveries were just coined by someone who pointed the obvious everybody knew but just put it in fancy words and everyone hated them for it. (Steno's rule in geology being a prime example)
Steno? 😂 In my language Steno would mean something like rock-o or stone-o. Pretty funny for a geologist
Foster's rule isn't as obvious as you make it out to be. Animals that are smaller than a specific size grow larger, and animals that are larger than a specific size grow smaller. This is a trend that's only strong on islands. You don't really see pygmy elephants evolve outside of islands. It's not the only choice.
@@HolyPineCone I think he was a monk with that surname. Funny thing it means something related yo geology in your language!
He basically said that soil/ground strata are initially deposited horizontally and other forces make them inclined later, although the law only goes as far as mentioning the horizontal deposition.
Right, but the Principal of Original Horizontality, the Principle of Lateral Continuity and the Principle of Superposition, the Principle of Cross Cutting Relationship are all also made by Nicholas Steno and not apparent to everyone without knowledge of geology. So it does make alot of sense to lay out fundamental basic principles
Re: Dollo's Rule. Actually *adjusts spectacles* environmental pressures can cause an organism to reactivate dormant genes, or re-express them. Case in point, the 3 spined stickle-back fish re-developed plate armor when its heavily polluted lake was cleaned up and it became more visible to predators.
As did a species of bird that was previously endemic to an atoll in the Indian ocean which went extinct due to a tsunami. When it's closest living ancestors migrated there from Madagascar, they effectively re-evolved themselves back into existence.
@@BigShrimpin_ still technically not the same species, as previous adaptations made while the original body-plan was extinct could still express itself in ways that would be impossible in the original
As all rules mentioned, they are more guidelines. Dollo's law can fail if the modified traits are few and recent, but never does if the modified traits are many and old.
Another good example of this is the re-evolution of bi phasic life history of Desmognathus salamanders in the direct developing family plethodontidae
I wonder if primates re-evolving trichromatic color visions also count as this
We need to boost this guy into the algoritm!
Fr. This content is too good
i think its working too! found the channel three days ago at just under 6k, now he’s at 9.25k! he deserves it too!
Agreed
I think they'll get boosted soon enough!
12.5K subs right now
Stumbled upon your channel thanks to the CZcams algorithm Gods and for once I’m not cursing them. Love the content and character of the channel. Would love to support your work! I searched in Patreon, but couldn’t find the channel. Not ruling out user error on my part, lol, but let me know if there is any other way to make this happen. Cheers 🍻
The algorithm gods. Haha
Hmmm, I've never really thought of getting a patreon or anything like that. Outside of the CZcams channel, I don't really do much with The Budget Museum. The most I have is a twitter, which I don't really use. I've been thinking of making a discord as well, but that seems like a lot of work. Honestly the best way to support the channel right now is just watch videos and give me critique and feedback!
tbh just discovered you while studying evolutionary biology for a uni exam and I absolutely love your humor. This way of giving information speaks to my apathetic and dry personality.
For the first rule, this is how a lot of relationships form in nature, like when a termite is eating decomposing wood and captured a micro-organism in it's digestive tract that allowed it to digest more and more wood, altering both species permanently.
Bergmann's rule seems to be the complete opposite of what's true when it comes to invertebrates. The world's largest centipedes, ants, bees, beetles, spiders, and many others all live in the tropics or near the equator. Same is true for some vertebrates, such as snakes, bats, and turtles.
Bergmann's rule only applies to homeotermic ("warm blooded") animals.
@@juanausensi499 yes, those widely known cold-blooded bats
@@DragonSlayer6398 Only applies to homeotermic animals AND has lots of exceptions
I love how the first image you show for Rensch's Rule is the Banana Spider, where the female of the species is so much bigger than the male of the species that it looks like the female could easily eat the male in one bite.
I've noticed that in a lot of spiders. I can go outside and point out 3-4 species and different pairs of a large female spider and small male spider.
For a few months we had a Banana Spider that we had fed so much it had grown nearly to the size of our hand. Huge web that covered about 1/8 of our porch's roof.
It got killed eventually, but it lasted longer and grew larger than any other Banana Spider I've seen and we get them all the time.
@@_DMNO_ Oh that huge banana spider sounds awesome!! Rest In Peace.
But yeah, in most spider species the female is way overpowered compared to the male. I’m personally more experienced with tarantulas, where the size difference isn’t much but the females live four times longer than males on average.
The only spiders I can think of off the top of my head that don’t have such stark sexual dimorphism in favor of the female is jumping spiders as a whole, but then again I’ve only ever had two species of jumping spiders and the only female I’ve ever had is still very young so I can’t compare her to her peers.
@@calculatormenace idk i think alot of common spiders around me have pretty small sexual dimorphisms. The one that most comes to mind since i see them all the time are house spiders. Females have thicker abdomens while males proportionely longer-legged and gangly but otherwise in the same size-range. Finding Wasp Spiders/Argiopes is pretty funny though, when you see a big female in the center of her web you often find a tiny male (looks like a completely different spider) hanging out in the corner. Striking a balance of getting a chance to mate and not being eaten.
There's a pretty famous herpetology example of an exception to Bergman's rule, which is that some sand boas might have re evolved egg laying from the common ancestor of all boas which was probably giving live birth.
But this all dependent on the phylogeny at the base of the boa tree, which is a matter under debate right now.
Love the videos man. Excellent topics, superbly delivered dry humor, on point editing! Not an expert so can't comment on the objective quality of information but greatly enjoying the content. Keep it up and hope you're having as much fun creating as I am watching!
Honestly evolutionary rules are really cool and also nice to know. Good to know we’ll never see birds turn back into dinosaurs
RULES OF NATURE
Really great video, I’m always so happy to see you upload!
Biology is wild. Thanks for putting this info into a video!!
Randomly got suggested some of your videos and it's been a fun time watching your progress as a channel. Keep up the great work, dude!
3:56 an example could be Dromeosaurids and terror birds. Birds evolved separately from dromeosaurids in the cretaceous but in the ice age when some birds started filling similar niches as some dromeosaurids did, they didn't devolve into dromeosaurids but rather became terror birds like gastornis
I like to find these contents before they get famous, it's so refreshing to find something nice and new in CZcams like this channel
I just have to give you credit for your fine work, I love your videos, they're informative, straight to the point and most importantly they're not misleading or exaggerated. Props to you my friend 🤝
The algorithm works in many strange ways, you have earned another subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Von Baer's Law, as stated by AronRa - "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny". Everyone should watch AronRa's Systematic Classification of Life series, it's genius if you're into this stuff.
I'm a fan
been a while since I heard about him :O
That's Haeckal, and Aron would tell you it's never really been a law. Other than being broadly and vaguely coherent (animal embryos start out as single cells, vertebrate embryos are necessarily invertebrates first) it's not actually descriptive of reality... ie mammal embryos don't pass through prior fish and salamander stages.
This is neat, but I am dyslexic so while I tried to read "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" I felt like I was having a stroke omg xD I must've re-read that sentence like 8 times
@@slimothyjames4577 Man it's a classic scholastic mindf@%k..my dad used to say that.Now it's buggin me.
I love this channel,it's mix with comedy,and science is pretty great.
Awesome video dude!!! I've been loving binging your content! Recently subscribed to your channel and it's been really great!
I just stumbled in this channel and this was the second video I've watched but I really liked keep up the good work 👍👏👏
The algorithm suggested me this video a week ago, since then I watched Avery single video of this channel like 4 times each, the content is simply too good, Budget Museum I hope your channel explodes in subs
Your stuff is great, sir. Keep doing it!
Hey, pretty informative and funny vid. Thank you! I actually learned a thing or two. You can make more of these as far as I'm concerned!
Love your channel, dog! Super informative. Keep it up!
Holy shit bro I remember seeing you with 5k just 2 weeks bro
I hope you continue growing and keeps making amazing shit like this
Hello I just found your channel and I binged all your videos. I really like what you're doing and hope you keep it up.
I know you said you won’t do another video like this…,
But you did a really, really good job!
I encourage you to do more videos like this!
Wish I had this back when I was trying to teach evolution to freshmen, it really is a nice little working compilation of the tendencies of organisms in adaption to their environment. Make another one, if nobody else likes it I will.
I wonder if there is a name for the reality of evolution where each step modifies only one gene and each intermediate has to be functional. Start with a model T and try to get to a Tesla roadster with each intermediate being a functional vehicle.
If you were to discover a new law you should call it Alden's Number
Great Video. Found you today and am excited as f to get into and continue with your future videos.
just found your channel and watching tons of your videos, they're great! :D
This fella’s channel would be great for high school students studying the subject matter. As well as many 1st and second year university students studying various biology courses.

Before I keep watching I gotta get this out of my head
*RULES OF NATURE*
realy interresting ,dont stop making this type of content. I enjoyed your vid.
You are my favorite Paleo channel, fantastic platform!!
RULES OF NATURE!
Amazing channel,we gotta boost him into the algoritm
Your voice sounds like a chill David spade and I love it. I feel like I’m watching emperors new groove everything video I watch! Love the videos I’ve been binge watching them all :)
This channel is criminally underrated! Solid memes too
I love your channel and I hope it grows big! I would tone down the irony or whatever a little bit but who cares about that. Have you tried covering up with a blanket or something while you record your voice for better insulation? I think it could help! And to not end on a negative note, I love your content and appreciate your efforts, I hope you do good, bye!
Good video, love your humor.
really enjoyed this video! keep up the great work :)
Hi, I just found your channel and wanted to say that I really like it! I'm binging your videos :).
You're doing an amazing job for your low subscriber count. I'm confident this channel will grow big
Nature’s rules.
The Rules of Nature, if you will.
This is a fantastic upload!! Thank you so much
almost 10k man! keep up the great work!
Would love to see carcinization covered in a video like this-the trend of crustaceans to evolve towards more crab-like body plans.
This video rules, as does your others
I’m gonna say it.
RULES OF NATURE.
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Fuck yes, so glad your channel blew up bro, I knew making good content like your would eventually pay off, congratulations bro
This was an incredibly interesting video! The intro didn't really fit the tone of the rest of the vid though 🤷🏻♂️ You could nix the first 25 seconds and the vid would be fire 👌
Agreed, the whole stock image bit has felt tired for a long time, coupled with a non-sequiter joke its just such a tonal whiplash.
Make a vudeo about the microscopic organism that evolved from decent sized jelly fish and they don't breathe because they get everything usefull from food. They are the only recorded species on the planet that don't need oxygen or other gases.
Animal species. They get the ATP directly from their hosts.
Love your videos!! Gotta get TBM more exposure
Bro you gotta upload more I binged all your videos in three days
RULES OF NATURE!!!
Wait wrong video
I loved this episode !!
These are the laws we can use in Speculative Evolution
To predict our future life forms
I’m commenting to help with the algorithm. This channel is awesome!
3:30 Deep Sea Gigantism confused me on the food bit (yes, they can go without eating longer, but dont they need to eat MORE, and it sucks down there for that?) until I realized it helps most/all those animals are cold-blooded.
Great video, thanks. Not sure about Cope''s Law after dinosaurs evolved to be birds
The only birds left after the extinction were small, and we regularly saw giant birds not long after that
True. I guess Cope's Law holds while the environment is fairly stable
That's because he didn't talk about its counterpart: Seethe's Law
I don't think Copes Law is seen as legitimate. I don't know how many of these are seen as legitimate anymore, some are.
This is such a cool subject! Great video
You should have more subscribers your channel is really interesting and well done
Could you make a vid comparing levels of bird intelligence especially with some types of parrots vs crows
*rules of nature*
Huh. Kinda thought you'd have more followers. Great content, please keep uploading!
i just discovered youre channel by accident but i already love your channel
i hope you reach 1mil
RULES OF NATURE
And they run when the sun comes up
With their lives on the line
(Alive)
For a while
(No choice)
Gotta follow the laws of the wild
(Alive)
With their lives on the line
(No choice)
Out here only the strong survive
What's done is done
Survived to see another day
The dance of life
The hunter and the agile prey
No guarantee
Of which of them will succeed
Strong or weak
Putting nature down to "strong and weak" is some 19th century spencerian social darwinism type nonsense. That's not quite how nature operates, only to the perception of those that don't study biology.
Tbh I’m surprised that this channel isn’t as popular as I thought, I think educational/discussion videos with actually good comedy in them or just focused on comedy is hidden gold on CZcams
Glad I stumbled across this channel so early
You got like 3 thousand subs in the past two days, me included, nice channel my dude
Rules of nature you say?
3:51
Not sure if this is true or not, but there was a report a while back of a bird that re-evolved itself back into existence.
I think it was called the Aldabra rail.
So there may be some of exceptions to this rule.
Not saying I know for sure just wondering.
Your humor is on point
this is one of the best videos on youtube
Evolution rules? So in other words... The RULES OF NATURE!

I only came here to say
_RUUULES OF NATURE_
AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
I could watch these video for ever and not get bored. He should think about getting sponsored, make a little money so he can spend more time making videos. Seriously top notch videos and commentary.
For some reason your voice is just so mesmerizing, I fell asleep last night watching your videos.
I see the thumbmail, and the first thing that come into my mind is RULES OF NATURE AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SUN COMES UP

Great video dude! Subscribed!
keep it up man, its only a matter of time till the algorithm chooses you.
Evolution is all about reproduction, so as long as a dominant trait won't hinder that too greatly they're just kinda stuck with it. The babirusa is a great example where it doesn't matter if an adaptation kills you, so long as you can survive long enough to sire young. We also have all those insects born without anuses or other problems that cause them to die after they reproduce.
We see this in humans too,it's the basis for DNA fingerprinting. DNA polymorphism or mutations in the large amounts of DNA we have that doesn't code for anything that are passed from parent to offspring are the basis for all that stuff
Insects are great general example for this, so many species or even entire groups that have non-functional mouthparts (i.e cant eat) once they reach their adult stage. They are the best at compartmentalizing. Eat all you need to growing up, once you can fly its all about dispersal and reproduction. Mayflies being maybe the most immediate example.
