00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,640
Today, we shall be presenting a 354-million-year-old sea urchin.

2
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,480
This is a fossil found in the USA.

3
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,680
It belongs to a sea urchin that lived 354-million-years ago.

4
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,060
As you know, today's sea urchins have a round and spiky appearance.

5
00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:40,860
If we now imagine this specimen being pressed and flattened from on top, we can gain some

6
00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:44,600
idea of how this organism was fossilized.

7
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,420
The sea urchin is a member of the Echinoderm family from the class Echinodia, which are

8
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:52,520
typically spherical and symmetrical life forms.

9
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,940
In other words, it is symmetrical and spherically symmetric.

10
00:00:55,940 --> 00:01:00,560
That means that, from whichever direction we look at it, both surfaces will be equal to

11
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,560
one another.

12
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,420
It has very interesting properties.

13
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:09,980
These life forms can walk, we can say, with their transparent arms or feet.

14
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:14,160
This is not common among Echinoderms because they are transparent and can move and feed

15
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,520
in this way.

16
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,940
They can survive on the seabed.

17
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:23,720
If we now count its spines and have a general look at its anatomy, there is no difference

18
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,940
between sea urchins as they wore 354-million-years-ago and their present-day forms.

19
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:35,480
Indeed, if change or mutation happens, it is deadly to a life form.

20
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,840
This may happen through radioactive effects or mankind may produce them themselves.

21
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,200
But if an organism's DNA is changed on the molecular level, then undesirable deformities

22
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,000
that should not happen will take place in its body or it will die.

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,240
This is known as mutation, such as when changes come about as a result of radioactivity or toxic

24
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,920
substances.

25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,240
Human beings can also change it, and this is known as gene therapy.

26
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,680
But in no case is there any question of a structure that might lead to an extra limb

27
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,740
in an organism's body, a significant gene, or an extra enzyme that might be beneficial

28
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:14,020
to its DNA.

29
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:17,360
And since its DNA does not change, neither will its phenotype.

30
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,600
In other words, DNA and phenotypes are inextricably interconnected.

31
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:30,120
We can see that these two factors are the same here.

32
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,400
To summarize, we see that living things have never changed, neither in terms of DNA nor

33
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,020
of phenotypes, and that evolution never happened.

34
00:02:41,020 --> 00:02:45,900
This 354-million-year-old sea urchin is a typical example of this.

35
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,020
