Epic, must have been confusing lol. And I can only think of fish walking on land if it was a science fiction movie

Oooof

2020-07-21 21:33:06 UTC  

the one i remember in science wasn't as dark and skeleton-ey. but it shows the same thing

2020-07-21 21:33:36 UTC  

It looks like an explanation of ancestry instead of evolution

2020-07-21 21:33:47 UTC  

Bruh I thought we came from anrst

2020-07-21 21:33:52 UTC  

*ants

2020-07-21 21:35:41 UTC  

how would that not be evolution

2020-07-21 21:36:02 UTC  

Idk I'm being sarcastic

2020-07-21 21:36:27 UTC  

im talkin bout the picture. if it's showing ancestry then that means evolution of some kind happened right?

2020-07-21 21:36:34 UTC  

if they're our ancestors

2020-07-21 21:37:00 UTC  

Well, everything started in water.

2020-07-21 21:37:08 UTC  

maybe

2020-07-21 21:37:16 UTC  

Evolution is when the same thing turns into something else, like Pokemon, but that chart looks like it's explaining how species branch off from each other over the years

2020-07-21 21:37:34 UTC  

No, its the only large solvent solution on the planet. So its pretty factual

2020-07-21 21:38:04 UTC  

so you think we evolved from fish?

2020-07-21 21:38:13 UTC  

Can't start life in earths air cause you can't mix the chemicals needed in air. (Yes air was way dif then but still)

2020-07-21 21:38:46 UTC  

Thats not what I said @Meryl.140.15

2020-07-21 21:38:48 UTC  

The big branch at the bottom of the image is how we're all related, but the sticks branching off from it is how we went our separate ways

2020-07-21 21:39:02 UTC  

i was asking a question because you said everything started in water

2020-07-21 21:39:07 UTC  

It did.

2020-07-21 21:39:11 UTC  

Even plants

2020-07-21 21:39:54 UTC  

Again. The reason for this is because h20 is a solvent and can hold the chemical compounds needed

2020-07-21 21:39:58 UTC  

While air cannot

2020-07-21 21:40:16 UTC  

That's why when we search for life on other planets, we look if the planet has water

2020-07-21 21:40:20 UTC  

i know life needs water to survive

2020-07-21 21:40:42 UTC  

i dont understand how talking about water means evolution is real?

2020-07-21 21:41:05 UTC  

Thats not what you were talking about.

2020-07-21 21:41:11 UTC  

You were saying we all came from fish

2020-07-21 21:41:34 UTC  

That was my retort

2020-07-21 21:41:36 UTC  

i dont think that, i was saying that's what i was taught in school

2020-07-21 21:41:51 UTC  

Correct. And I answered why thats a common misconception

2020-07-21 21:42:01 UTC  

So anyways. Now that we agree.

2020-07-21 21:42:12 UTC  

er ok

2020-07-21 21:42:38 UTC  

still extremely confused but that's ok

2020-07-21 21:42:46 UTC  

?

2020-07-21 21:42:49 UTC  

About?

2020-07-21 21:43:16 UTC  

this whole water conversation in general

2020-07-21 21:44:16 UTC  

Chemicals usually need something to dissolve in for them to react. Air doesn't work, but water does.

2020-07-21 21:45:17 UTC  

Evolution is just how a species can change over time. The water thing is just where everything that we currently know about started
