  • The Turians are a species that is known for their steadfast adherence to public service and commitment to keeping the universe in order. However when stumbling across a hairless ape trying to reactivate the closed relay, they almost ended up in an outright confrontation with the newcomers. Before all that though, how did the Turians evolve on their homeworld of Palaven? Lets take a look!

      Actually the thought process involved in “Earth being perfect for us” is exactly the opposite. WE are prefect for Earth. We are some of the descendentes of creatures who only managed to reproduce because they managed to ADAPT to a world surrounded by a moon that creates huge ocean tides, where the magnetic core exists and protects us from outer radiation, and whose water is mostly in liquid form at ambient temperature. Were the earth any different, we would have been entirely different in response to our environment, and right now people who cannot understand the concept of adaptation and evolution would be praising some “god”for having made our world as such that we can perfectly live in it....

    Okay, I actually think about turian biology a lot, for reasons totally not related to drawing smut.
    (they're related to drawing smut)
    ------------------------
    Turian gestation would likely be much shorter. Their thin waist implies less room to carry young than even humans. They would have to give birth to very small young, then carry them in the cowl until they can walk on their own. The information that turian gestation takes 11 months is from a fanfiction, it is never stated in-game.
    Child rearing would, from my guess, fall to male turians. Turian women have very different morphology, one of the most important parts being the eyes. Femtur eyes have the slit and a small sclera compared to the male having a more human pupil with larger sclera. Looking at the way an eye slit takes in light compared to a circular pupil, it can be assumed that they see more sharp at night and have relatively blurry vision in day. That paired with the more slender body and lack of a frill makes them exceptional for nighttime stealth, faster running, better pursuit predation. This leads to the assumption that men would guard young against threats and rear them, while women hunted.
    If they have exoskeleton, fat content won't be easily visible from the outside. It would be stored in already relatively empty spots, as it is with earth insects.
    Mothers would not chew the food for their children, because they don't have molars. This would mean that either a) turians used a mortar and pestle to chew food once they had tool use, reducing stress on gizzard and crop, or b) turians would regurgitate.
    Mandibles are one of the most important parts of their sexual selection and communication. They are the primary means of emotional expression, which is extremely important because of their similarity to human psychology as it relates to their evolution.
    You didn't mention it, but turian genitals would probably be relatively standard, considering their evolutionary similarity to humans, designed to just... stimulate. Not the corkscrew or something crazy like that.
    Teeth I'd say are less raptorlike, more pescivorous. This is odd, considering the inability to swim that turians are known for. This could imply that they started externally grinding and crushing food much sooner than other advancements, early tool use like the usage of flint for human stuff and cut chewing.
    ------------------

    Awesome video boss! Glad to see your alive and well and Unfortunately I couldn't watch it as soon as it was posted since I'm on duty but thankfully my break allowed me to now. I love Turians, not only are they a cool looking species (not to mention the Broest of bro you could ask for) they to me are so much like the Elites of this universe...honor bound by Duty and Service. I remember when Garrus pulled a Crackshot on a hostage situation when he was a cop in Mass Effect 1and I was like "bro bro bro... protocol be damned someone give this man a promotion!!"

  • @SnlDrako
    @SnlDrako Před 5 lety +5

    And this is the point where Mass Effect dropped the physics ball hard. A magnetosphere doesn't only protect from radiation, but also from solar wind, which would blow the atmosphere away in years. Even our atmosphere is depleting, but slowly enough that it does not affect us. Mars has the exact same problem.
    Yes, Palaven is actually further away from it's sun than Earth, however, it's only 1.15 AU, 15% further away than Earth, which does not significantly decrease the power of it's stars wind.
    It's possible that Menae and Nanus, the moons of Palaven lessen this effect to a degree, if both of these directly block the star constantly, and for some odd reason both orbit each other around PalavenL1, effectively providing a shield cone against charged particles. Of course that would result in the weirdest day-night cycle ever, because even in daylight, the sun would be blocked out for a couple of hours, then shine again, then blocked out again, then shine again, seemingly randomly.
    Okay, physics babble is over. You can wake up now.
    I cannot expand any further on your breakdown, excellent job. However, what could possibly cause the flanging effect you hear in their sound? Is it possible that due to the high radiation of the planet, they evolved a sort of double vocal cord system to act as an airlock to their lungs to protect it from unwanted charged particles? That would mean they breathe and speak from different airsacks in their chest tho, and the speech airsack is somewhat resistant to radiation, and the breathing one is not. Or it could mean that it is a filter in their throats that somehow filters the charged particles from the air, and protects the lungs through that?
    Oh, space velociraptors? Lemme crush your childhood then.
    Velociraptors were about 2 meters at best, (less than 7 feet) from nose to the tip of the tail, and 7 kilograms ('bout 15 pound) weight. About half of the length, or more, is the tail. So basically they were large aggressive chicken. With teeth.

      I believe I will make a side video about the voice, I cant believe I forgot to add that into this video and very true about the raptors! but Lucy (our ancestor) was only about 3 feet tall if I remember correctly, maybe a little more, but Humans are much larger now! so perhaps their evolution led them in a similar fashion to become larger

    • @SnlDrako
      @SnlDrako Před 5 lety +1

      @@RoanokeGaming You're absolutely correct, Lucy was a couple of centimeters shy of a meter tall (right about 3 feet). I just love to point out to people that velociraptors were nothing like the depictions. However, upon consulting a friend of mine, I have to point out that there were a raptor species which match closely enough to the movie velociraptors (apart from the feathers, but that actually was not known at that time), namely, the Utahraptor. Those were massive 5-7 meter(16-22 feet) from nose to tailtip, and about 1.8 meter (6 feet) tall, weighting about a ton or two (2200-4400 pounds).

    Hey, Roanoke. I have a few thoughts and things to share with you about your channel as well as this video. Bare with me for a bit.
    I am currently finishing up my basics at my local college to soon move on to study to be a veterinarian. Tuesday is my General Biology 1 final and next semester I'll be taking G.B. 2. But before I ever took Bio. 1 I studied Human A&P 1 and 2, and have already found so much similarities with the two courses that the transition is pretty easy so far. I'm sharing this with you because it excites and encourages me when I watch your videos and I am able to not only able understand most everything you say but what I initially miss, or don't understand, I usually can break down what you're saying and get myself to comprehend your topics. To give you some background of why all of this makes me feel pretty good about my self is back before college I'd never say that I would want to be a doctor/lawyer/president, ect. Now that I've taken certain classes and done a few things I am now one of those people who want to be an animal doctor. It's kind of like seeing yourself grow up, but in a good way.
    Hold one just a bit longer.
    My dad and I are fairly scientifically minded guys and we talk about all sorts of topics. Tonight we were discussing stuff I have been learning in Bio. which lead to Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace, evolution in general, examples of evolution in someone's lifespan, Mars and then I thought of your channel. I showed him this video and he couldn't believe how someone, you, were able to break down this fictional species in a way to make since and also sound like a lab lecture.
    All and all, dude, great job on what you do with this channel. I can't wait to see more.
    I hope you made it to the end of this stupid long comment
    Sincerely, MrNickm1224

    The minimal magnetosphere would've resulted in the photolysis of water vapour with the resulting hydrogen and oxygen being blown away by the solar wind as well as nitrogen being blown away leaving a CO2 atmosphere which given the mass of the planet would've likely left a Venus like planet.
    Copper actually binds better with oxygen then iron but binds less oxygen than iron does. Consequently copper blood is good if it's difficult to extract oxygen from the atmosphere but it's bad if the organism requires a lot of oxygen as more blood need be circulated for the same amount.
