• Journeys Through Geolo...
After taking you on a journey through geologic time, we've arrived at the Cenozoic Era. Most of the mammals and birds that you can think of appeared during this era but perhaps more importantly, the Cenozoic marks the rise of organisms that look a lot like us.
Thanks to Sean Murtha for the wonderful illustration of Tsidiiyazhi. Check out more of Sean's work here: www.seanmurthaart.com
And thanks to Ceri Thomas for the very cool Titanoboa reconstruction. Check out more of Ceri's paleoart at / alphynix and nixillustration.com
And as always thanks to Nobumichi Tamura for allowing us to use his wonderful paleoart: spinops.blogspot.com/

Your videos are super helpful and amazing. So otherwise you receive all of my respect and admiration for the great and important educational work! Keep it up! :)

    the book isn't closing... depending on how we form our future, our species is just a longer or shorter chapter. We might be responsible for a lot of species going extinct but in the grand scheme of things we are just making room for ecological niches to be filled again when we are gone. No one knows what might have been if we were never here or behaved differently and no one can tell if we made the future of biological life more or less interesting. Maybe give it another billion years and after us, a couple more self-aware species evolve and go extinct (or maybe we transcend our biological bodies and become gods? A collective hive mind floating through space as a supercomputer, looking for things to assimilate? Maybe we are just the jumping stone for artificial intelligence, which is an unavoidable step in evolution). I can't really comprehend what you meant with "sad" back when you wrote this and hope you'll learn you look at life in a different way.

    Grammar Nazi The main reasons are either for tool use (apes) or to use hopping to get around (kangaroos). Sengis are a pretty cool example of a middle stage between a quadrupedal shrew-like animal and a bipedal kangaroo-like animal. I still have no idea why the dinosaurs were bipedal, though. We can be sure that their closest ancestors, the pterosaurs, were quadrupedal; so it had to have been a fairly big detail in what made dinosaurs dinosaurs. Then again, other major archosaur groups like the rauithiscians were bipedal too, so the pterosaurs may have just lost bipedalism. So I really have no idea.

Basically in animals like reptiles its just simple bone structures usually to grind and slice either plant or meat (and for plants only very crudely so herbivore dinosaurs had to rely on the stomach to get the nutrients needed with the exception of duckbills i think cuz they did chew), with us teeth have roots and layers and different shapes and uses. Most animals before and other were all limited to at most two types of simple teeth (and they were comparatively brittle against the elements since they were structured like lines stuck to one another while mammals were interwoven i think)

    Long ago, "reptiles" referred to any non-mammal/bird amniote. Only later, around the 80s I think, paleontologists started giving scientific merit to those non-technical group names. This lead to "reptiles" being used to refer to diapsids/sauropsids, while non-mammalian synapsids that looked a lot like reptiles were suddenly no longer classified as reptiles. But the public expectation of what constitutes a "reptile" goes way back and is hard to dispel. Even today some synapsid/pelycosaur researchers may casually throw the word "reptile" to refer to Dimetrodon. In my opinion it's the meaning of the word "reptile" itself that has changed over time. - Based on my personal conversations with synapsid workers but mostly Christian Kammerer

    Franz Anthony Yes it is my understanding that tetrapods diverged into amphibians and reptilomorphs. Reptilomorphs are not however reptilia. Reptilomorphs then diverged again but the only extant lineage is that of the amniotes. Amniotes then diverged into Synapsids from which mammals derived and Reptilia which eventually led to the true reptiles.
