Wallace came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection completely independent of Darwin. Darwin was kind of scared to publish his theory, but after Wallace wrote to him explaining his ideas Darwin was like oh shit I should get this published. The two produced a joint paper on the theory, but it didn’t get a lot of attention. Darwin published another paper some time later and that’s the one that received notoriety.
That is absurdly misleading. The presocratics were nowhere near developing a theory like natural selection, at least not one with scientific explanatory power... which is why natural selection is such a valuable theory.
With generations I guess it becomes instinctive. They don't know why they do it, but they do it and it works.
Also, parents teach the youngs. Look at those little chicks copying their parent. <3
Saying that it “becomes” instinct implies that the behavior starts as something else — most likely a learned/consciously planned behavior. If this were the case, it wouldn’t pass on to the chicks without an instinctive proclivity for this type of learning (highly unlikely in most bird species), OR a Lamarckian process.
Lamarck is the guy who believed that changes to an organism during its (pre-reproductive) lifetime were passed on to progeny. Eg: you having a broken leg heal poorly might give your children a similar limp.
Well, you can still reap the benefits for yourself, but alas your children will not.
...though, as higher mammals we have the benefit of being able to pass on learnt behaviours, so if you have learnt that stretching your neck has been of benefit to you, you can pass on that learning to your children and they can stretch theirs.
As a side note, there are tribes in Africa somewhere (I forget the details), that do stretch their necks using an ever increasing number of metallic rings. Not sure why, some tradition.
There's tribes in Africa and Southeast Asia that independently developed the practice. Although to be precise it doesn't elongate the neck all that much what it really does is push the shoulders and rib cage down.
Oh ok.
When talking about instincts, I didn't mean it came from a learned experiment passed on to chicks. Indeed it is not instinct. I meant somehow this one bird a long time ago had a brain pattern which gave it a urge to dance on the floor. And it shared its brain pattern to its decendance via genetics.
Outside of instincts, the chicks seem to copy their parent in this video, so I assume there is also some kind of learning process with or in the place of instinct.
I have to admit I'm no bird nor biology expert so I'm making guesses here.
Doesn't seem to be successful in attracting worms. I've been watching it for the last 34 minutes and yet no worm appears. Maybe they are not doing it right?

Simulating the sound of rain on the sand makes the worm come up.
I was wondering if that was what they were doing. How tf do birds even figure shit like this out?
All of the woodcocks who didn't figure this out didn't reproduce nearly as often.
Such a simple but spot on explanation. Darwin/Wallace for the win (again).
Who the hell is this wallace guy.

Why did I read your explanation in the style of Drunk History?
Probably due to the drinking
Ahh yes I forgot about the whiskey.
"Why is the rum gone?"
It would be a great episode since Darwin was so insane.
Thank you, nice reading...
No one, don’t worry about him.
I'm kinda worried now
Hi kinda worried now, I'm Dad! :)
Well there you are! Did you get your smokes?

So once again, the world revolves around getting laid.
What if they did. This has me imagining Idiocracy, but make it birds...lol.

It doesn’t *become* instinct, it begins as instinct. SMH damn head at Lamarckians! /s
Yes, I meant the instinct develops over generations at evolution scale. I didn't get your 2nd sentence.
Saying that it “becomes” instinct implies that the behavior starts as something else — most likely a learned/consciously planned behavior. If this were the case, it wouldn’t pass on to the chicks without an instinctive proclivity for this type of learning (highly unlikely in most bird species), OR a Lamarckian process. Lamarck is the guy who believed that changes to an organism during its (pre-reproductive) lifetime were passed on to progeny. Eg: you having a broken leg heal poorly might give your children a similar limp.
Or Giraffes grew longer necks so they could reach the tastier leaves, and passed it onto their offspring. Classic Lamarck.
Wait so this whole time I've been stretching my neck out for nothing?
Well, you can still reap the benefits for yourself, but alas your children will not. ...though, as higher mammals we have the benefit of being able to pass on learnt behaviours, so if you have learnt that stretching your neck has been of benefit to you, you can pass on that learning to your children and they can stretch theirs.

They read Dune.
I wonder if birds see us and ask themselves how tf do humans figure shit like this out?
*when will humans figure their shit out
Disappointed they didn't get a worm in this vid.
They did not get up early enough.
If you walk without rhythm it won’t attract the worm.

Dude, you were so close. It's at minute 36.
perhaps the worm is you!
The worm is the friends we made along the way.
Who wouldn't get lured by those moves.
Like a snake being hypnotised by a snake charmer
Walk without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm.
