The aspect I love the most of primordial life is how they're like almost unmodified visual representation of mathematical formulas, like they were truly living exponential ratios made into flesh, there was even this one plant (not sure that is even applicable, given how alien it is to a modern plant) where every bud was actually a microscopic version of the whole plant itself, so it was effectively unfolding copies of itself perpetually, which while on paper sound neat must become one hell of a pain when not life threatening mutations to the genome start to occur. Probably also why these lifeform doesn't exist anymore, they probably weren't the most stable too.

I knew we probably started out as bacteria, but it never really occurred to me just how simplistic we were after the bacteria began evolving. It is so wild to imagine we used to be blobs that couldn't even move and it took a long time for us to evolve from just being blobs. It's beautiful to see how life started out. How simplistic we once were. And how we are no different than being an animal. We all evolved from something into something more complex. Kind of makes me wonder if someday there will be an animal that is similar to humans.

There is evidence Dickinsonia moved because we find trails of Dickinsonia "footprints" left on the seafloor with a dead Dickinsonia at the end of the trail. Also, Charnia was the 1st time geologists & paleontologists all agreed a fossil was a definite multicellular organism before the Cambrian. Other Ediacaran fossils were found before Charnia, but people did not agree what they were.

As you said we cannot know exactly what the first organism ever is, but I like richard dawkins’ theory, as he is one of the worlds most renowned evolutionary biologists. He thinks its most likely the first organisms were simply self replicating chemicals, and eventually those self replicating chemicals began competing for resources. Once competition begins, natural selection begins.

Being nothing but bundles of sugar and phosphorus, they were not alive. But the phenomenon as a whole had lifelike qualities and could evolve. That's the theory, anyway.

I've been thinking about alien life a lot recently. My theory is that at the fundamental level, the most likely things we would find on exoplanets would be unicellular life like our bacteria. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it worked the same way and even used DNA or something very similar to code genetic material. I even think that if multicellular life developes, it would likely be very similar to what we'd find on Earth during the precambrian, and follow similar body plans only to be shaped be the specifics of the environment. I think if there are any real differences between Earth life and alien life, it would be large scale forms, and even then, I believe it's likely that we would see example of convergent evolution between Earth life and whatever we find elsewhere.

Nice video , life in earth is amazing , and the mic works great😊

It'd be cool to know or have a website that jots down all the fossils that have been found and how many. I always wonder if one sample size of a random fossil is enough to say a pack of them existed. I'm sure when stuff like Dickinsonia being found they also found like a herd of them as fossils. Imagine all the dinos and ancient creatures that have existed that we don't know about.

I love Precambrian animals there’s something so simple about them

Best sound ever. Very good actually.

Nice uncomplicated introduction to evolution - keep up the good work.

I too lay around and do nothing. Truly evolution at its finest.

i wish we never left the primordial soup, now i gotta do taxes bro

What choice did you have? There were no crackers back then.

Truly some of the creatures of all time

This is not only very insightful, but funny

I want to say that Hallucenia(sp, obviously) was one of those interesting fossils that scientists initially looked at upside down. I remember that little spikeworm for something, and this is the only thing I can think of offhand.

3 months late but yea i think your right. There was a big debate about whether or not the spikes were legs or not

Spikey worm

There's a subspecies of arachnid that came to be in the late cambrian that still exists today, they look like a bunch of squiggly lines glued together

This must be an interesting point of study for exobiology. Considering how different Earth was back then, it was basically an alien planet. I think this sheds some light on what we might expect to find in other worlds when looking for life in them!

I truly enjoyed this video!

seeing some illustrations of these earlier animals, it's interesting to observe what looks like failed attempts at evolution making structures for bodies (mostly the shrimp looking thing with a claw for a tongue at 2:13). So, to think that cyanobacteria were there so early and are still around today - maybe for longer than we will be - Is beyond fascinating and I'm not at all disappointed that the first animal wasn't a more "Interesting" one.
