----------------

This song just manages to always cheer me up und gives me motivation while studying for exams.
Thanx❤

Can anyone else hear the metronome in the background?

— @Polopony20.

EVO-DEVO

Huxley

YOU'RE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE <3

— @matteobertoni2294

B. Mac.

Oh Carroll, Carroll

So good 🎉🎉🎉

— @parulsaini5261

Gould, Stephen Jay yeah

D-D-D-D-Davidson and Peter

2:09 nice

— @Sima-v8s

See

One cell divide and decide on a thousand fates

when u realise the beaats were coming out of his

— @Rudeus2-d1m

Did you ever figure how they know?

B. Mac.

I fought at first that this is a song that makes fun of biology but it is actually good 😅

— @ינירלחמי-ב9ט

We

Are built of modules combined in a planned out way

That is crazy, im a math major and i keep seeing those aahhhh calc parodies and they‘re nothing compared to this man

— @Ranaban4na

Each new piece must be told where to go

Oh

Hey who else is studying for the entrance exams

— @p40v1der13

Now there's a science helping us to understand

How our cells encode this architectural plan

Ancestor of AI science explanation videos

— @zarterosa.7553

Signalling each other with genetic tools oh

Oh yeah

you may never read this, but this particular piece was instrumental in saving my life. seriously. thank you

— @Yvonne-x6m

Wow

Phenotype the interface for mouse and man

Extraordinary song, connecting the lyrics to the things I learned in class is awesome. A piece about the messier objects would be wonderful and very helpful especially if it would tell all the objects names and constellations.

— @SciencewithMatias

Genotype the files and the subprograms

What then are the switches, circuit boards and boot code?

i like Sonic

— @SpectralTheories_2

Evo-Devo

Looking at the logic in the ways that we grow

I often like to say that life is the software that keeps you alive.

— @frankwu4747

Every gene directed by a signal key code

Proteins that can activate, enhance or veto

the reference is crazy

— @vinceaguilar3765

Evo-Devo

Signals are controlled by other genes that signal

THIS IS SO COOL!!!

— @davinaambarita2238

Calculating in a network labyrinthal

Where the heart and liver and the hands and feet go

Brilliant,absolutely,in all ways. Congr🎉atulations

— @alilawless5866

Signal mapping tells each region what it ought to be yo

With circuits so deeply built upon

The paleozoic era baby🤣

— @finchieeee5

They're older than the Paleo

The Paleozoic Era baby

I finished hs recently and I still listen to these science songs😂😂

— @DEEBREE23

In a crucial pathway changes tend to get torpedoed

Where they go calamity goes

we played this song in my science class today lolll

— @freckledminou

As this cyclopic sheep knows..

See down they cascade like a domino

This feels somewhat silly but I believe this cover genuinely kicked off my interest in the world of Omics without even realizing what it was at the time. 8 years later and I’m halfway through completing my masters in bioinformatics.

— @yashil1215

Like you and I drosophila

The path that makes us optical

this video motivated me to leave palm oil, ocean salt, white sugar and fast food behind.

— @yash1152

Was laid a long long time ago

Back before we blew up the cambrian like a bomb bomb

Dude, you’re a genius

— @remisans6135

Now my eye protein can make you see out of your bom bom

And Hedgehog and its relatives like Indian and Sonic

In 'Melanogaster' 'M' shouldn't be uppercase

— @dr_microbiologist

Set up set up in a gradient on segments embryonic

Split forebrains and asymmetric parts depend upon it

Youtube absolutely failed to take so long to recommend me this video.

— @leopolon

Flipping on genetic switches and logic

From devo to evo

When he says signal I hear sigma😂 anyone with me?

— @arnavenjoyyourlife5359

Adult and embryo

Mostly don't evolve in the genes of the genome

2:08 I'm glad they've transitioned

— @astrOtuba

Safer the mutation aimed at regulation

Keep the building blocks and swap their activation

It’s 2026 and I just showed it to a random stranger while waiting for coffee. I wish I could give this video another like.

— @lorraineling6878

From devo to evo

Parts have alter egos

You're genious)

— @БібліотечнийГопак

Homologs evolved from repeats in the schema

Switch a couple bases in the proper places

in 2026, still one of my favorite song ... good job guy!

— @tpower16

You'll be watching flies grow legs out of their faces oh yeah

Evo-Devo

Well some ppl would still think of it as original who don't know the lyrics

But great work man, I'm not bio student but watched ur shape of u chem vid and it was such a banger

— @Kirtan639

Stick around for Modern Synthesis the sequel

Only by combining can a new theory grow

💪👏🤩🤩🤩

— @muratbastimar8445

Evolution and development amigos

Evo-Devo

We have legs on faces, eyes in butts, and horror sheep. As a non biology student encountering this for the first time, damn biology is scary!

— @EpicLuna-666

Signals trigger patterns of complexity so

Switching up the switches of a signalling node

UNBELIEVABLE!!

— @amalliafadlila5611

Gives a modular and simple way to evolve

Look at how our spinal segments generate a neat row

Caramba, meu broder. Não me canso de ouvir esse som.

A real é que ele estava inspirado.


Parabéns, Capella Monster!

— @FormigaSilvestre

Built on a molecular clock

One cycle, one vertebra

"This is how we go from single cells to people" hits me hard each time. This video summarizes, so elegantly, the answer to a deep question -- "how mankind came to be." Still love this video, years later.

— @nemvus_

One vertebra one vertebra baby

Speeding up its rate is snakes' developmental cheat code

I still don't quite understand what evo devo is, but I now understand it at least well enough to know that death stranding was full of shit

— @Crazynerd2039

That and where a lizard's feet grow

They turn off distal aminos

No instruments?!

— @NovabitsYT

Evo-Devo

This is how we go from single cells to people

2:39

— @Kas_Styles

Every generation and in life primeval

Life in variations endless and beautiful

Not only he has great intelligence but also he has a good voice.

— @Thisismemet

Badaboom

From devo to evo

Petition to bring this back covering newer songs

— @Julius_Caesar_207

Larva to mosquito

Patterns are resolved as the signals proceed yo

gonna be so real the end of semester exams are coming up and this is saving my life (biomed student)

— @tabithathecat

Map out a gene with a glow tag

Kill it with a morpholino

I no longer know the lyrics to dispacito😅

I used to..

— @malikapollard3618

Short oligo morpholino baby

From devo to evo

If Shakira and Darwin had a love baby

— @ZenUtsab

Voyage of the Beagle

Body plans evolve when proteins steer the genome

Who watches this banger in 2025?

— @dominika9148

In this manner life's beauty grows

Aesthetica in vivo

I'm learning both computer science and science

— @Dev_013-peR
