La véritable origine du baiser (Feat.@notabenemovies)

The first kiss wasn't exchanged between two humans. It's probably over 20 million years old! In collaboration with Benjamin from the Nota Bene channel (@notabenemovie), we trace the history of kissing back to its origins, from primates in Mesopotamia to Australopithecus and the Egyptians. We discuss the hypotheses that explain its continued existence through natural selection. #zoology #science #popularization ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📽️ Science Bestiale 🎥 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🤓 François Verheggen - Writing and presentation 📀 Louis Ska - Editing and sound design 🏞️ Theophile Giffard - Thumbnail 📨 [email protected] ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📚 François' books 📚▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📙 A TANGUY AMONG THE HYENAS: 30 Surprising Animal Behaviors https://amzn.to/42ESIqt 📕 THE CICADA AND THE ZOMBIE: Behaviors We Thought We Could Only Behavior Belong To Humans https://amzn.to/3I45qWe ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎥 Studio Equipment 🎥 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎥 Sony CAMERA: https://amzn.to/3RLTXAj 📸 Sigma Lens: https://amzn.to/4hjdQbK 🎙️ RØDE Microphone: https://amzn.to/49K1y93 🎙️ RØDE Lavalier Microphone: https://amzn.to/3XfaxdG 📺 Teleprompter: https://amzn.to/482449X 💡 Lighting: https://amzn.to/4jproUS 🌈 Custom Lighting: https://amzn.to/40oSa79 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬🎶 Music 🎶▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Matteo Gangi - Winter Stories (Lofi Piano Jazz Album) ►    • Matteo Gangi - Winter Stories (Album Lofi ...   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬🙏 Wernaers Fund 🙏▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Science Bestiale is supported by the Wernaers Fund for research and the dissemination of knowledge. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💪 To support the channel ✨ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➡️YouTube Subscriptions:    / @sciencebestiale   ➡️Tipeee: fr.tipeee.com/science-bestiale ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎥Some Cool Videos🎥 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►    • Les animaux qui changent de sexe (plusieur...   ►    • L’origine des Araignées enfin révélée par ...   ►    • Pourquoi les animaux des abysses sont TOUS...   ►    • Les insectes sont-ils intelligents ? (selo...   ►    • L’homosexualité chez les animaux: Origine ...   ►    • La vie de MERDE des acariens de ton matelas   ►    • Amour et odeurs corporelles: les phéromone...   ►    • Des scientifiques ressuscitent les loups g...   ►    • Je visite la plus grande FERME à VENINS d'...   ►    • La vie de merde d'un puceron   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⚠️Social Media🔈▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Find Science Bestiale at www.sciencebestiale.com and on social media: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Thread, and Bluesky.
