  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Video explaining our common ancestry with apes and monkeys and other animals.

Wonderfully intellectual as always, however those who don't 'believe' in this would be lost the first moment you said 'taxanomic traits'.. about 5 seconds in.

You'd end up getting a response to the effect of, "He's talkin' 'bout taxes and such.. lets cut them there taxes!"

I have replaced the embed with a higher quality version posted by someone else on Youtube. My version sucked.

*long and good. I was blinded by the science at 05:53...

...Phenotypical taxonomy is character based, an in-depth analysis of every morphological developmental genetic or physiological trait, systematic classification surpasses this by comparing these collectives to determine derived synopomophies, indicating a nested phylogeny, and THAT determines the clade. Because phylogenetic hierarchy is the only consistent criteria for classifying diverse lifeforms stemming from an evolutionary lineage, and that is evidently where we came from...

Stick that in your turbo encabulator.
