Everything we know about fish just changed

4 Comments

  • In case you don’t want to waste 8 minutes, apparently a genetic study has revised some basic fish taxonomy.

    The video doesn’t actually tell you what the study said, or teach you anything useful about how the groupings were revised. It’s just a series of pictures of fish with a voiceover expressing shock that weird looking things might be closely related to less-weird-looking things.

    There’s some cool pics of weird fish, but they’re all divided up by zoom cuts to tiny sections of a taxonomy chart that’s never shown clearly enough to make any sense.

    I made it 4.5 minutes in before I got irritated.
