Deep time is just insane, so much time has passed with "not much" happening, while it all helped to turn life into what we have today.

I think this is just an excuse for Earth to be a lazy git. What if you lived for 100 years and spent half that time doing nothing but getting bullied by the rest of the town (solar system) while cool planets like Saturn developed rings and Jupiter improved its moon-collection? I wish I was born on Titan, Titan is cool >:)

I always thought it was odd that in science fiction movies the heros would often land on planets with no visible plant or animal life and there would somehow be an oxygen rich breathable atmosphere. Turns out that’s how earth was for a good chunk of its existence

So interesting to think that the oxygen that keeps us alive was what annihilated other life. It makes complete sense from an evolutionary standpoint, but it's something I hadn't known about or considered before. It's pretty cool that you learned some stuff yourself in doing the research for this video. I don't think humans as a whole will ever be finished learning about Earth's history, which is as much a blessing as it is a curse.

It's so good! By the way, if you like the early eras of Earth's history, have you seen the "History of the Earth" series (also here on KZread)? They do more detail on the really early, usually passed-over eras than ANY OTHER DOCUMENTARY SERIES I'VE EVER SEEN. Like, entire episodes about how did abiogenesis happen in the first place, the Boring Billion, and the ancient superOCEANS. Great. Stuff.

These videos come off as a bit dumb and dumber, but even for someone with deep knowledge on a lot of the topics you cover, it's not only entertaining, but they are actually quite on point and educational. To distill complex topics into a format this simple and silly must require a lot of prep. Do not let the "Windows paperclip" animations fool you - this is top notch science communication! I really hope your channel blows up so you can improve your YT income stream and post more frequent - you deserve more views and recognition.

@@maxsteele3686 I think you need to reread the comment. Nowhere do I state that the research or production quality is not to a certain standard. The whole point is that the format of these videos is to create accesible content that is excellent for viewers with sometimes limited exposure to these topics. Being able to distill and communicate this information efficiently is exactly what this channel does so wonderful with the format of "Windows paperclip" animation styles and the on-point stripped down presentation of the science. To be this simple i.e. what I dubbed "dumb and dumber", the creator has to do a lot of prep because such a transfer of complex topics to simple and relatable terms require a deep understanding. So if you think it's a backhanded compliment, it's not. It's a praise of everything that is not flashy and shallow, rather simple yet profound. That is impressive and also why I support the channel in a sea of noise.

Dude, I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. Finally some good video on eras other than the Jurassic and Cretaceous. You’ve got a subscriber.

This is not only interesting and educational, but entertaining, as well - great job!

There are some minor errors here. Fossils of multicellular life have been found in Ghana that date to about 2 billion years ago. Modern eukaryotes seem to have evolved about 1.8 billion years ago. There are error bars around both of these dates. The Ghana fossils appear unlike anything else so far found in the fossil record. It has been suggested that they represent a multicellular line that didnt make it. Assuming this is correct - as seems likely at the time of writing - multicellular life evolved not once but twice in a relatively short period of time. The Great Oxidation Event was circa 2.3 billion. Mitochondria are thought to have evolved 2.1 billion years ago. The Ghana fossils are 2 billion. The 2.1 to 2.0 with error bars seems to have been a critical period but we know little about the grochemistry of this time

Finally, a channel to stimulate my geologist brain

The Huronian Glaciation just made me think about how water as a solid expands instead of contracts, unlike every single other non-metal known. I wonder if even though the Earth had an ice crust, the liquid water underneath kept warm by volcanism kept life seeds aka cyanobacteria going. Thank you water!

This is a fine series.

Excellent.

Lately I’ve been finding myself more and more interested in the Proterozoic eon. I know for a while we used to think multicellular life didn’t exist before the Cambrian but now we’re finding that not only did it exist before then but long before then. And the Ediacaran even had its own explosion of life called the Avalon explosion. We’ve even found evidence now of possible animals going back close to a billion years. There maybe have been entirely different kingdoms of multicellular life at this time as we’ve found evidence of creature tracks on rocks over a billion years old (though it is disputed if that is what it is). There’s a lot we don’t know about this time and I’m sure a lot we will never know, but I have a feeling so much more was going on before the Cambrian than we could imagine.

Brilliant vedio to teach both children and adults!!!

Animations are on point G

Great video

Cheers, Great series, my favorite is the Carboniferous : Pennsylvania Peroid. Cheers

Proterozoic is my all time favorite eon. 6:42 - and that should be the all time icon for "boring" - this must be how I look like during some online meetings at work.

Nice series

This is so weirdly charming. I'd been wondering if someone could make a story with a compelling cyanobacteria protagonist. Now I know you can! 😎👍🏻

Hang on, what about the Avalon Explosion? I know that, as far as we know, little of any modern multicellular like descends to now from then, but you covered the freaking formation of the earth, I think that one is justified.

I’m amazed how you can get even preschoolers wanting to watch your videos again and again 👍

Hello Mister Paleo ! Ive just read that a new mass extinction has been discovered by Virginia tech researchers It happened at the end of the ediacaran Maybe sometime you could share with us your lights on this topic in your fun and pleasant videos Thanks for your great work on the history of earth Cheers from Europe

A bit of a side note, but the eyes, especially the eyebrows, on the animations are done very nicely and are quite expressive.

Love this stuff too better than reading a book

You should talk about the Francevillian biota. The possible first multicellular life from 2.1 billion years ago in the rhyacian period of the paleoprotoerzoic.

The sea sponge invasion was terrifying 😅

Another interesting video. However, the step from cyano bacteria, to eucarets and sponges to structured animals and plants was a bit abrupt. There is quite a lot of interesting story there, that you have glossed over, like the acquisition of the Mitochondria by the absorption of cellular parasites, There are still some bacteria around that have genetic relations to the Eucareotic Mitochondria, Most importantly about dino flagellates and their structural similarities with sponge cells. I also remember seeing some paper about worm tunnels in algae mats at the bottom of the sea. That was as far as I got in my reading. I have not found anything about the developments of worms during the boring billion, I guess all the potential fossils have been ground down by the repeated glaciations. The man difference between sponges and plants or animals is that sponges have only an inner and an outer cell layer, while animals and plants have a third layer of cells in between. I have so far not found any info about this critical evolutionary step. Is there really no fossil evidence for any intermediate steps between sponges and the multilayered animals like worms or plants?

Man, those blood-red oceans would've looked so...METAL. (literally! ;)) Apparently a good chunk of the atmosphere during the "Boring Billion" was nitrous oxide. Yup. Laughing gas. ALL HAIL THE -CYANOBACTERIA- SPONGE EMPIRE!

OK, so the key to our existence was the flatulence of ancient cyanobacteria....hmm...:) Actually, I love your programs.

God, I love Tim Tim.

Would it be possible to make like 2 of those per week? Please.

When you first showed the eucaryote, I thought it was a tribble! Sure looks like one.

I like those old eons for some reason, idk why but it is interesting anyways

IDK it may not be correct to say the GOE was the first mass extinction. The problem: If there was an extinction event before that, how would you know? Before event: Anaerobic goo. After event: Anaerobic goo, just maybe a lot less of it for a while. How would you detect that? In fact, the whole concept of species boundaries gets pretty sketchy when there's nothing but microbes.

To arms brothers! For the sponge emperor!

The boring billion seems more like the most fantastic space of evolution ever.
