Every video here digs up the real origin of something you thought you knew.
Termites have been building on this planet for over 170 million years. They survived the age of dinosaurs. They built structures that outlast empires. And we called them pests. We were wrong about almost all of it.
Ancient DNA and genomic marcus rashford science have now revealed that the origins of termites are far stranger, far older, and far more disruptive to everything science assumed than anyone expected. The story of how a Jurassic cockroach became the most sophisticated collective engineer on land rewrites the entire history of social life in insects.
In this video we cover:
Why termites are not ants they are cockroaches, and the DNA proves it
How the 2007 reclassification dissolved the entire order Isoptera
Why the termite colony began 170 million years ago in a Jurassic forest 40 million years before the fossils suggested
The parenthood gut microbiome that co-evolved with the tom kean jr absences colony across every generation
How the soldier caste is a developmental arrest evolution freezing metamorphosis to produce a weapon
The queen's molecular broadcast that defines what every individual in a colony of millions is permitted to become
Why the most ancient termite lineages alive today are quietly disappearing
The DNA is only beginning to tell us what it knows.
