Can we just appreciate the amount of science this discovery required? The understanding of what a cell is, taxonomy and classification, understanding of what a molecule is, figuring out that animals have certain molecules in certain abundances, inventing a helicopter and the other equipment needed to pull this fossil out of the ground, microscopes and other equipment to pulverize the fossil for use under the microscope, utilizing statistics to get the sense of the abundance of those random molecules, all kinds of dating measurements to say when in history a certain rock is from and the scientific method itself to be able to confidently say that this random squiggle in a rock was actually a prehistoric animal. Amazing. I flippin' love science.

It was actually the period of most dramatic progress. Think about the complexities of evolving a replicating & self-sustaining cell. Most of the essential cellular mechanics were developed in this time & are largely conserved. Once you have functional cells, it’s variation on a theme. It’s a mistake to say it’s faster now. Is the evolution of proteins to develop the critical library of enzymes faster than evolving from amphibians to reptiles? There was an incredible amount of novel chemistry happening in that period & it took a while to work it out.

Paleontology student here If you ask just if any experts think that, yeah, they do. There isnt a big consensus on whether the Ediacaran fauna was an indipendent "experiment" of life forms and bauplans (fancy zoological way of saying body plan, aka Phylum) that went nowhere and went extinct before the Cambrian "Explosion" (Whether it was an actual sudden diversity explosion or not is the base of many debates) or if the Ediacaran fauna is the predecessor to the Burgess type fauna (Cambrian fauna). Truth is that before the early/middle cambrian, no organism had any hard (mineralized) parts, so they hardly get fossilised. Because of this, we dont actually know if the Ediacaran fauna went through a major extinction event or simply we can't find fossil impressions BUT life was still thriving. It's a complicated matter. As for Spriggina, yeah, some say that its part of the trilobite evolutionary tree, but many paleontologist point fingers at Parvancorina, another trilobite-like animal from the Ediacaran, because it shares a lot of morphological similarities to Skania, a genus of early Cambrian trilobites. Hope this helps, cheers

@@ramarromarrone awesome, thanks!

Always get excited for every new episode. You guys are great!!!! Dont forget the 2 evolutionary history episodes the pinnipeds and tyrannosaurids

"He crushed up precious fossils" He What!

There's a lot of videos on ocean life, how it evolved and how it moved onto land, but I'm curious how we got our freshwater inhabitants too and how they've evolved. I was a little sad to see you guys didn't have a lot of videos on freshwater fish and I'd love to see more about them. Particularly the Osteoglossiformes like the Arowana!

Yes, the early life in freshwater would be a very interesting thing! I guess that the ancestors of the early insects were freshwater animals too. And I would love to watch some Videos of palaeobotanic themes. The early Land plants were very fascinating creatures, or later in the Devonian the first gymnosperm seed plants. An maybe a third Video about the first angiosperms, or flower plants? It is still not really clear where the first angiosperms came from, or does anybody here know more about this theme?

Thank you so much for doing a video on my favourite geological time period! I remember being so happy when it was ratified as an official time period. Science needs to give the Ediacaran a lot more attention!

A brilliant use of deductive reasoning and forensic analysis of the evidence - I love truly Dr. Holms-ian scientists Ilya Bobrovskiy.

Future scientists will discover 93% cheeto in my fossilized body

I had no idea we didn't know what that fossil was. I didn't realize that was even a mystery. This blew my mind. Amazing.

TRULY my favorite channel!

this is the stuff i joined you guys on patreon for! keep e'm coming.

Remember kids: it's considered unpolite to go around cutting people in half.

Hi eons, I like this channel a lot and i want to know about dilophosaurus , is this creature a raptor species ?

I love how she talk... those difficult words sounds lovely ..

Gosh I love when you cover pre-Cambrian stuff

Kids always used to laugh at me when I used to claim that I came from a giant tortilla. Who’s laughing now??

as someone who works with natural products and mass spectrometry... these are terms i didnt expect to hear in this channel 😂😂😂 this is extra cool for me haha!!!! thank you for making this~

Thank you for the information. You're great!

I absolutely love this channel!

OT - I would love to see an EONS show on crabs or lobsters.

So you're saying we're all lobsters?
