Oh, I've seen videos of that. It's so gross when the babies come out. Did you see that? Yes. Like in person, like the babies coming out?
It's so gross. It's one of the grossest things I've ever seen.

I guess if I was one of those frogs, I would think that was the most beautiful event I'd ever seen. Although like human childbirth is not that beautiful either.

Well, we come into the world so violently. It's just like, it's amazing.

You know what? This actually makes me think of one that's not up there, which I do find really incredibly amazing, is the process of the germline cell in humans. you know, in organisms, like basically like every living thing on this planet at some point in its life has to go through a single cell. And this whole issue of like development, like the developmental program is kind of crazy.

Like how do you build you out of a single cell? How does a single cell know how to do that? Like, you know, pattern formation of a multicellular organism obviously like evolves with DNA, but there's a lot of stuff happening there about when cells take on certain morphologies and things that people don't understand, like the actual shape formation mechanism.

And a lot of people study that and it's, and there's a lot of advances being made now in that field. I think it's pretty shocking though that like how little we know about that process. And often it's left off of people's lists. It's just kind of interesting. Embryogenesis is fascinating.

Yeah. And the genes in all the cells are the same, right? So like the differentiation has to be something that's like much more about like the actual like, you know, expression of genes over time and like how they get switched on and off and also the physical environment of like the cell interacting with other cells. And there, there's just a lot of stuff going on.
