This is Papua, New Guinea.

I'll just go out in the field and collect these wonderful animals

The green line goes down. That's the wild nature portion.

So here's two sort of canonical neurons from a vertebrate and an invertebrate, a human pyramidal neuron from Ramon y Cajal, and another cell to the right, a non spiking interneuron, and this is the work of Alan Watson and Malcolm Burrows many years ago, and Malcolm Burrows came up with a pretty interesting idea based on the fact that this neuron from a locust does not fire action potentials.

All vertebrate embryos are inherently female, anyway.

W wait, old spinal called based organisms.

And so, the year 2000, you see there.

Young icefish hide in small ice holes to avoid predators, while a variety of invertebrates,

Livers and internal organs take a bit longer.

Now flight is an inherently difficult thing.

That's a little diver up there in the corner.

From a posterior view again assess for asymmetry, atrophy, or skin changes.

It's called encephalomyelitis.

If you don't kill the fish, they take a longer time to die, they grow larger and they reproduce a lot.

Here's another case that I think is interesting.

Arms amp hands are developing 36 Days

What I call the human portion humans and their livestock and pets versus the natural portion all the other wild animals and just these are vertebrates and all the birds, etc., in the land and air, not in the water.

These operations you talked about, were they brain operations?

They can fix the spine, if you got the money.

Another thing that is interesting is that the brain stem that we have is shared with a variety of other species.

And the aquarium had a lot of big fish tanks but not a lot of invertebrate displays, and being the spineless guy, I thought, well

But the only way I can describe what I was seeing that day was that this octopus was playing, which is a pretty sophisticated behavior for a mere invertebrate.

I actually understood the mechanics of vertebrae enough to kind of start to imitate them.

They said to my parents, the neck break was a stable fracture, but the back was completely crushed.

This is the last act on this Earth of a little girl called Heidi, five years old, before she died of cancer to the spine.

As we move past the relatively gigantic mammals, birds, frogs and plants to the more elusive insects and other small invertebrates and then beyond to the countless millions of organisms in the invisible living world enveloped and living within humanity?

I just noticed that as I finished this skull, the armature wire that I had been used to holding it up was sticking out of the back just where a spine would be.

They start as little eggs, and they're in The Guinness World Book of Records again for having the most number of eggs of any vertebrate on the planet.

It's very hard to explain this by molecular recognition.

And 90 percent of our catch were sponges, other animals that are fixed on the bottom.

Or they lay eggs, or they don't lay eggs.

The stork test evaluates for a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis in the lumbar spine.

They die of HlV, they die of hepatitis C, they die of infections of their heart valves, they die of infections of their brains, of their spines, of their hearts, of their bloodstream.

You are not even humanfuckingbeings. You are nothing but unorganized, grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit.

I have a bulging disk.

Palpate anatomic landmarks for tenderness.

But by now, everybody agrees that the elephant had an aquatic ancestor.

So quantum mechanics says that inanimate objects feel the same way.

Ten thousand years ago, at the dawn of agriculture, human population, plus livestock and pets, was approximately a tenth of one percent of the terrestrial vertebrate landmass.

They were trusted by the local communities

we're savages.

Some animals are producing offspring in zoos.

A fox is a wild animal.

Foxes are wild animals.

Is it bigger than the biggest bacterium? We don't know.
