me: 3 am, need to sleep.
youtube: shape-shifting dinosaurs.
me: I hate you.
And it's 3:42 am at my house and I'm watching shape shifting dinosaurs
5 am 😑 still, thanks for the rec, CZcams
Lol me too
I woke up at 3 am just to finish watching this.
Robert L. Same thing
I worked with Jack at the Museum of the Rockies from 1993 to 2003. One of the things he said early on that took the scientific community by surprise was "I want to know how dinosaurs lived, not how they died." Working as an exhibit preparator, I saw some cool things come in from the field each year.
Horner's 'little museum' is in my state. When my kids were young, we went once every year to see the exhibits. I'm sure we saw yours :)
Jack Horner: Hi, I'm Jack Horner
Crowd: HAHAHAHAHA!
@@dennishagans6339 lol
"Why I laugh?.....oh well......hahahanabans"
"Everyone likes to have an animal that they named." Audience laughs...
Wow this guy is killing it!
This is the type of dude i wanted to have as a teach back in the day has fun with his profession while educating
Ivan C heck we wouldn’t want that. I mean if more teachers were like this and enjoyed teaching while also making learning fun and more interesting then young kids would more easily pay attention in class and then the big pharmaceutical companies would begin to sell way less adhd medications etc and behavior issues would be reduced and this could all lead to possibly being able to teach large segments of these children to think critically and they’d grow up to be well informed and would then try to hold their government responsible for the endless bullshit they perpetrate on the population etc. what are you some kind of revolutionary???
I love this guy! And look at what he has discovered and all with a healthy scepticism, absolutely wonderful
Dinosaurs is just a hoax. Dinosaurs never existed! sorry for bursting your bubble.
Mr@@carloscarlos6690 why is it so hard to believe that dinosaurs existed and what proof do you have to support this claim of yours. Many people also agrees with you but then did we not have wild life. There's so many fossils out there and I mean their numbers are so large that everywhere in the world we can find at the very least three different species in every country.
I'm the only conscious person!!!!! You don't exist because your all none player characters 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
You mean they guy who comes wit the most fantasifull stories of dinosaurs that has no evidence to support this claim whatsoever.
Turns out he was wrong about most of this lol
I watch alot of Ted talks and this has got to be one of my favorites. A true scientist at work in his field.
This guy's sense of humor is awesome. Most enjoyed Ted talk I've experienced.
Definitely deadpan humor... Gets the point across though doesn't it?
Shape shifting Dinosaurs reminds me of some of our politicians.
👍
@Thane Most definitely!
You mean the ones with dual citizenship with Israel??
That's exactly what I thought this was about A comparison of genome of sorts with our tempors.Sounds like the incredible hulk.
Probably all of them.
Big Jack horner 🙏
"you wouldn't shoot a dinosaur, wouldya Jack?"
@@DarkTakanuva "yeah in the face, why?"
Jack Horner is not just a very talented palaeontologist but also a comic genius
The dopamine rush from adjusting to a new perspective is amazing. This is amazing.
If you really want to increase your dopamine levels, I would sincerely tell you Look to Jesus Christ, the Author and finisher of ALL things! Cheers
Jesus’s real name ain’t even Jesus, jesus pic shows he’s white jew not even close he was black cmon now why don’t you do some real research on “Jesus Christ” and no I’m not an atheist
@@christisking1316 😂 how much god selling his dopamine for?
We get the English translation from the Greek! Jesus is the same a Yeshua in Hebrew, which literally means " God Saves". Christ means the "annointed one". Really what does his skin color have to do with anything?. He is going to Judge everyone according to their Words, thoughts or deeds. Unless a man believes that he is the risen Christ(Jesus) and picks up his 'own' cross and follows after him, he will not see the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 years later, Jack Horner was correct on a few species, but incorrect on others:
Dracorex and Stigymoloch are indeed younger stages of Pachycephalosaurus. Nanotyrannus is also a juvenile T.rex.
However, a subadult Torosaurus specimen was later found; therefore enforcing that Torosaurus and Triceratops were distinct genuses.
Furthermore, while he was correct that Edmontosaurus and Anatotitan were in fact the same *genus* , they were not the same *species* . Anatotitan is now classified as Edmontosaurus annectens while the original Edmontosaurus regalis (also now known to own a small crest on the back of its head) remains a separate and distinct species.
Was the specimen Horner presented of _Edmontosaurus_ an _Edmontosaurus regalis_ ? Your objection could be invalid if he presented an _Edmontosaurus annectens_
Can you give me sources for the sub adult torosaur please
Jill Carbajal It's on Wikipedia. You can look at the sources there.
Nanotyrannus was controversial from the day it was named, everyone was saying 'it's probably a juvenile' because is largely has the same morphology as T-Rex, no avian like skull morphing needed. With even obvious examples like that slipping through shows the tendency to give new names.
And lets not forget WHO named Nanotyrannus, Horners long time rival Bakker, so their is some comeuppance in this video as well.
Thank you for this followup! I could see the visual relation between Dracorex, Stigymoloch & Pachycephalosaurus, but I am now at min 15:00 of his presentation and have actually paused the video to go through the comments hoping to find exactly what you re saying. When he suggested that the Torosaur is the adult version of a Triceratop when in fact Torosaur is missing completely a nose horn has a completely distinct shape of skull & his fringe has visible segmentations, it seemed like an overstatement. His sarcastic style of presentation & his mention of "Scientists Egos", sure backfired, big time.
Brilliant! Mr Horner has a great sense of humor = the best 45 mins ive spent in ages (watched twice and rewound many parts :) )
thankyou :)
Him: so
Audience: AHAHAHAH IM PEEING AHAHA STOP HAHAHAHHA
Right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My grandsons are dinasour mad and I am showing them this video. My eldest grandson is 7 years old and knows all the diasours names off by heart and is already drawingthem like a master artist. He is going to love this awesome scientist. Thank you so much for putting a massive smile on my face and I know that this will be very entertaining to Damien and the younger boys. Great way to keep everyone's attention. x
Janette It would be great if you update this comment after the youngsters have seen it & let us know what they though of it.
Janette Emlay I would sure love to hear how your grandson responded to this scientists theory. I think it’s great!
Hi there. My eldest grandson, who is 7 years old, absolutely loved watching your video. He was mesmerized by the way you explained everything so perfectly. He is so advanced in his learning and, as I said before, he is a mind of knowledge, especially about dinosaurs. I have given his mother my eldest daughter, the link to this amazing, funny video and, guaranteed, my grandsons, especially Damien, will be watching any further videos by yourself and colleagues. His younger brother is still learning but can still name all the dinosaurs. Thank you so much for replying to me, it means so much to me and my beautiful grandsons.
@@janetteemlay1496 what dinosaurs are their favorite? Mine personally is the king of all dinosaurs Tyrannosaurus Rex
@@evastarunit7361Tyrannosaurus is like the Wolverine of dinosaurs. Cool, but overdone. No shade to you personally. 😂😂😂
But there are so so many more cool and interesting dinosaurs that are so often overlooked and forgotten in favor of the still very cool, but very overexposed T. Rex. 🙁
This guy also was also in the special forces in Vietnam war!! A paleontologist and a amazing sense of humour!
This guy is awesome 👍👍
No lack of bones in 'nam.
This guy has to be hated by his colleagues. That’s normally a sign of a good scientist.
The sign of a good scientist .. is when the results of their experiments are reproducible...aka. true. The sign of a bad scientist .. is when none of the results of their experiments can be reproduced. aka. false. The sign of a science priest, is one that makes wild unsubstantiated claims about theories that can't be tested. And yet consider them to be fact. They are known as science priests because science has morphed, in their minds, from a method, which it is .. to a religion.
Heart Realm not Earth. Scientists are ALL salesmen ONLY.
Jennings Cunningham What you stated is a SIMPLE FACT!! Bob Lazar was laughed at by mainstream scientist when it came to him working at AREA 51, the laughter got loader when he mentioned element 115....only to be vindicated 10 plus years later when element 115 was discovered by a University in Finland.
That is who he referenced at the end when he said, “4th graders memorize their dinosaurs... And they’re not happy with this.” He demoted his detractors to 4th graders.
Also, they did later force him out of the University of Montana. He had a 19 yo gf, and married her during the scandal. But, they never relented and he is now out of academia.
Anyone who offers alternate theories to evolution is pushed out.
He’s low key dissing scientists with egos calling them 4th graders.
"Low key"? My feeling is that that's a solid burn.
@@inyobill very solid burn with a slam dunk added. You never ever stop questioning your own hypothesis or theory. Ever. People who quit doing that stop being scientists but become preachers.
Yes
High key hes dissing a guy named mikey
@@inyobill yeah, it's definitely not low key. And he's right about that - scientists most definitely do the opposite of what they're supposed to... they just want to be right, it's no longer about discovery.
One of the most enlightening videos on dinosaurs that I have ever watched. Congratulations, Dr Horner.
One of the more entertaining TED's.
He's a comedian-scientist.
Proof that scientists aren't boring.
isuru bill nye if he was funny and a scientist
He is a good storyteller
turns out that most smart people have good senses of humour.
Yes, he's not boring, he is ... sawing. *Ba-dum-tss*
Shadow My life’s a mess I came here to say that.
I saw a similar presentation with Dr Horner previously. At that time he simply posited that many dinosaurs were younger versions of adults who, at the time, were considered entirely different species. I am thrilled to hear he has advanced his hypothesis into a now proven theory. Top drawer!
Not only interesting, but intelligently expressed - even understandable by a simple historian! Thanks
Mildly in love with this man. Could listen to him all day.
These are the videos worth watching on youtube.
Knowledge trumps everything!
An interesting presentation by an eccentric, funny, and brilliant scientist. Good work Dr. Horner!
Great presentation! Would have loved to hear him speak at one of my schools when I was a child.
*reads ‘shape shifting dinosaurs’*
REPTILIANS!!
Exactly what I'm thinking!
Yea
Idk....but there are human shape-shifters. Trust me I've seen em in life
Same!!
You're a liar, Skylar... You only see 'em in DEATH!!! *chuggadeathrockguitar*
I read the transcript of this presentation and was so amazed that I had to look up the video as well. Personally, this is the most fascinating dinosaur discovery since the marine-based version of Spinosaurus. Thank you, Jack Horner for your work!
Ikr
Freshwater-based*
_Spinosaurus_ wasn't marine.
We're all here because we saw too many edits aren't we?
Nah my stepmom sent me this because I love Jack Horner
Oh no! Actual scientific method being applied to dinosaurs - how refreshing!
I mean, this video is dated 2012, and the research is even older....now we know things like what color their feathers (yes, feathers) were, and things like organ placement in some cases.
@@peppermintgal4302 Do you know how modern scientists guess how high the population total was?
@@TOKRocK84 ?
@@meghanachauhan9380 How many dinosaurs were there in total, in numbers of individuals, i mean, according to science.
Interesing that it comes down to 7 species in total according to the presentation in this vid.
I find this whole dinosaur narrative to be very fishy though. Not saying it is a complete hoax, and ofc I don't and can't know for sure anyways, but I find it curious that the dudes that dug up the bones were all under the british crown...
Actual scientific methods equal no evidence or analysis of the data he provides? Wow that's super refreshing maybe he doesn't need to dig for bones anymore then. It would at least work out better than his dementia going crazy in his head.. to be honest. "Shape shifting dinosaurs" is he writing a fantasy book now? 😂
I'm 11 and my fascination is that there are so many different kinds of dinosaurs. I also LOVE that they all had different hunting strategies
Jack horner is legend one of the best dinosaur experts in the world
ik right!
Too much beer from the looks of him.
He really digs them.
@HS Melvin Saurus woah look what we have 'ere! An intelligent observation my friend, pointing out such things will greatly help the study as well as the man himself... Thanks for the help big guy!
love him! great insightful talk with a wry sense of humor.
When I was a kid visiting dinosaur museums, I also thought that all these similar dinosaurs with different names are related.
Very funny guy, really a great presentation. We need more researchers and teachers like this one!
Years ago I watched Jurassic Park with Jack while he told stories of what was going on behind the camera. Fun times :)
Wife: Your belly gets bigger day by day and your hair turned grey. Get outta your comfort zone!
Me: Relax. I´m just shapeshifting.
Are you a shape shifting dinosaur
@@rutiacotheyuty3045 No doubt about that...
One of the best TED talks ever!
But why tho? I truly don’t get the hype of this one. He’s a scientist who applies skepticism to ongoing scientific research. That should be the norm and not something outside the box that deserves congratulations and praise. I just don’t get it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@JeanEDeaux it's because he is explaining how he came about realizing this new discovery of different dinosaur species and how the established academic status quo so vigorously fought against it WITHOUT using arguments that included logic and reasoning.
The mature pachycephalosaurus
should be renamed after Horner; their domes are identical.
Homerdomasaurus.....?
😂
cute. he will probably be able to laugh at this too, he seems like a jokester.
skinny scrambler xD
Super to see logic and reason being used in science for a bit.
@Repeat After Me:
Yeah, about 97% of climate scientists are probably wrong about what the current data shows, the suckers.
@@mattsmith1440 do you know where that number came from? You should Google it and see if you can find the study that definitely states 97% of climatologists say global warming is real and manmade.
@@edwinostberg8768
Yes Edwin, over 12,000 peer-reviewed climate science papers were checked:
www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2013/may/16/climate-change-scienceofclimatechange
We spend 5 trillion dollars per year globally, subsidising fossil fuels. Let's put that money into existing renewables instead. If climate change is a hoax, the worst that will happen is we reduce pollution and remove a reliance on finite resources that will have to be replaced in the near future anyway.
In the future, burning petroleum for fuel will seem a giant, stupid, waste of a very useful bounty.
@@mattsmith1440 What did the climate change before the industriual revolution in the 1870s? Nobody with common sense is saying there is no climate change. To say something like this is to be like a mayfly, born at daylight and to say:"there is no nigth." The question is about the influence of man-kind. If a meteorological scientistis saying less than 50% or 10% or 1% of climate is influenced by man-kind, they are part of that 97%.
@@razuhl9269
Bullshit! Read the study linked in the article I already posted. You are wrong about what it says. You actually need to read the information since that answers your question, rather than just assuming that nobody knows (and being completely wrong about that).
I am 47 and can clearly recall so many dinosaurs... From 1st and 2nd grade. So romantically I was attached. Like they were my own creations or discoveries.
Oh.. So sweet this... Or bittersweet.
This guy should do a sience based stand-up comedy show. I could listn to him ALL day. His way of presenting ist so entertaining!
Perfect 👌🏻 you could have a show for sure - great to watch
Love this guy. Great storyteller, makes his lectures intelligent and understandable.
This was a fascinating talk. I am going to look for more from Jack Horner's work.
Stygimoloch -
Stygi = Stygian = In Greek mythology, the River Styx plays an important role in the geography of the underworld. When souls enter the territory of Hades, they must pay Charon, the ferryman, a fee in order to cross the Styx
Moloch - Moloch is the biblical name of a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice
not sure ......Almighty God Speaks!...Directly Against Molech!.....They Have A Statue That The Elites Worship!.....At Bohemian Grove!
Stygimoloch actually means devil with spikes because this dinosaurs had several spikes across the dome of his head
Is it just me or does Jack Horner look a lot like Ben Franklin?
Benjamin Franklin was Gay;
Fellas???
maybe they had convergent evolution?
Why would that be important even if it were true?
He could have been bi. So what if he was?
One of my childhood heroes. I memorised so many dinosaurs because of him, fitting that he would be the one to break these illusions.
Wish I had a teacher with his style back in school. Another great talk by Jack Horner. He is a good example of a scientist who not only thinks but is adaptable....that is rare. In other words a detective scientist. Hopefully his kind flurishes, multiplies and doesn't become extinct!
Awesome, and SO easy to understand. Well done!
You can't do any different than becoming a Jack Horner fan. He explains it so funny, because then it sticks better in your brains
This guy is excellent!
Great video!!! I enjoyed this very much! Blessings, Fran
my first ted talk in years, best one
This is so mind blowing, I wonder if the velociraptor is a decoraptor baby now, I'm not sure I didn't search for the time line but it would be cool
Flying Snake
Do you mean Dakotaraptor? Because no, the Dakotaraptor was found in the North America while the Velociraptor Mongoliensis is an asian dinosaur.
Smart and entertaining teacher-scientist-professor...I learned some new stuff from this guy.
This brings me to my childhood. I was crazy about dinosuars when i was little.
What a legend on presentating 😂 also amazing research and scientific discovery..
Jack Horner is awesome.
I'll buy it, seems legit.

More! I want more of this, it's really fascinating!
ooh, ooh, there is: "Building a dinosaur out of a chicken" :3
This was a good one. Shows how science constantly refines itself. Sometimes it takes a rather contrary personality such as his to kick old assumptions in the butt.
That was great! sad when it concluded :(
Thanks for the awesome lecture. It seems to make a lot of sense..
wow, this was absolutely fascinating. Thanks
This is so interesting!
YOU'RE so intersting
Fantastic presentation. Brilliant logic & investigation....
I am astounded and charmed by this information. This is major groundbreaking work. And it was in front of us all along.
Really enjoyed this. Brave thing with the bait title. But well worth it. Fascinating!
I wonder if he still pulls out a plum and says "what a good man am I" LOL!
😂🤣
To display my little inner Vulcan his statements are very logical. As always logic and deductive reasoning should be given greater recognition.
Simply because a fossil is smaller should not mean it was a different species.
Like say millions of years in the future Andre the giant was turned into a fossil just as Verne Troyer was fossilized. Those dearly departed individuals are of the same species even if they were drastically different sizes. The enemy of many things in this world is often simple logic.
Andre the Giant, you say? THEREFORE THE BIBLE IS TRUE!!!1!
rh1507 well said!
This is so good and his presentation hilarious ! Not only that, it makes so much sense. I have heard or read elsewhere that there may have been far less types of dinosaurs than were originally identified and named, but that in some cases two thirds of a specific type can now be deleted from existence because they are merely younger versions of the last third, is quite staggering. There should be more scientists of this caliber, who are prepared to admit that scientists sometimes make mistakes ! Oh my God !!! 😨😲😵
Just loved ur talk...awesome you are sir👍
hey its jack horner my 3rd fave paleontologist the one who made the t rex vs spino war
What is your 1st 2?

The most a mature audience on the planet Earth. " the baby dinosaur is next to a big dinosaur" and the audience goes bananas
How does this video not have more views?? Love it!
Because he goofs up major time on saying Triceratops is a juvenile Torosaurus.
Great presentation. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant, a scientist with a great sense of humour !! Very entertaining talk !
His repeated insistence that this oversight was due to ego was kinda funny the first four times. I do admit though that his work is very impressive.
Awesome info I love fact basis history
Best Ted talk EVER!!!!
