Hello again!
The video this week is about 10 mysteries revealed through or solved by genetic research.
I HATE the thumbnail, and I'll redo it before it goes live.
😅
Also, next week's video is going to be one of my best yet (in my opinion). Sadly, I'm currently out of the algorithm, it seems, so hopefully, this video goes well to get me back into it.

Check us out on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/u90710607 Int his video, we're looking at 10 mysteries that were uncovered by genetics. In some cases, the mystery has been solved. Others have left us with more questions than answers. 1. Blue-headed Quail-dove (Starnoenas cyanocephala) – How did they get to Cuba? 2. Jungle Centipede (Scolopendra subspinipes) – Mysterious range 3. Iberian Harvester Ant (Messor ibericus) – Gives birth to a different species of ant 4. Platypus – The genome retains genes from other ancestral animals 5. Sengis – More closely related to elephants than rodents 6. Horseshoe Crabs – More closely related to spiders than crabs 7. Bdelloid Rotifers – Steal genes from other species and don’t sexually reproduce 8. Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) – Has an extremely long genome 9. Seagrass (Posidonia australis) – A clone that stretches on and on. Largest organism on Earth 10.
