Immortality in Nature Explained

⌛ Today I'm talking about the four types of immortality found in organisms across the tree of life, and how these examples can help us understand treatments in human longevity. If animals can evolve to do it, can we engineer ourselves to do it too? Perhaps only time will tell.

Contact me here: [email protected] WHO AM I? Hey, I’m Dan. I double majored in biology and psychology and like to make videos about evolution and behaviour and stuff. I have a lot of thoughts and need creative outlets at all times, so making these videos is a great way to cope with the struggle of indefinite existence. I plan to stick around on YouTube for a while, so I hope to see you around for years to come :) Gear I use for videos: Camera https://amzn.to/4dgjjxI Lav Mic https://amzn.to/4gDiRMG Things I’m not really active on but have an account for: TIKTOK:   / daninblue_   IG:   / daninblue_   MUSIC I USED IN THIS VIDEO: "Magistar" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Pleasant Porridge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Dark Fog" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Equatorial Complex" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Vibing Over Venus" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "On the Ground" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "On the Rocks" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Valse Gymnopedie" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Blue Mood" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Dirt Rhodes" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Legend of One" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Bleeping Demo" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Past Sadness" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Expeditionary" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... “Waterfall” Undertale OST “2 AM” Lud and Schlatt’s Musical Emporium Creative Commons ► Attribution 3.0 Unported ► CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/… "You are free to use, remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.
