Excellent idea. It showed up not long ago geologically and changed the face of the earth. So much of today's life has evolved to take advantage of grass. It's also one of the staple crops that allowed agriculture to begin. 32 of the 56 species of nutritionally viable grasses evolved in Europe, that really effected history.

@Ambrose Burnside Pretty sure most if not all lawn grasses are European Middle Eastern or African in origin as Lawns are formed from spreading grasses and Europeans believed North American grasses were inferior and cattle didn't take well to them. Most names come from where the cultivar was first developed such as Bermuda Grass and Kentucky Blue Grass which are based off crosses of European and Middle Eastern grasses. Lawns also only date back to the medieval period so there isn't much of a history as it is one of those newer than it seems that only really became possible with continuous influence of servants and later toxic and environmentally destructive chemicals. Lawns are native to nowhere and are purely a product of human selection by rich nobles that wanted to show superiority over nature and nowadays are the worlds most cultivated crop despite providing no ecological or productive value whatsoever. Wild grasslands are instead a diverse mixing of many species of herbaceous plants most of which we have labeled as "weeds" because they are of course far better suited to the environment than our nonnative lawns that are helpless without constant human intervention.

I have no idea how they could cover this topic on a vulgarization channel. It's really not as cool as you all seem to think it is, given that we obviously have very few examples of fossilized blood and other internal organs (except brains probably). It's already hard to have strong opinions about things when we have a lot of skeletons to begin with, what makes you think that the evolution of blood would be interesting? It would mostly be speculative stuff based on how certain proteins look and what does arthropod blood look like. We do have some examples of fossilized blood (including from dinosaurs) but there's a reason why it's not a very popular topic: all there's to say about them is only interesting for specialists. Anyway, this is a better topic for a biology channel, not a paleontology one.

I'm no paleontologist, but my guess is fruit evolved from a covering of thick fleshy leaves grown together at the edges, originally to protect the seeds from animal bites. At first they would protect seeds by being thick and hard, and then by poison. Later, some fruits would lose the poison and evolve sweetness to reward some animals for spreading the seeds, in cases where seeds could survive the animal's digestion. Notice how some fruits are safe for some animals and poison for others, which suggests animals and their favorite fruits evolved together.

Crocodylomorphs! They were super diverse and widespread all throughout the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. They filled a variety of niches as grazers, fast running predators, and possibly even filter feeders. And fully terrestrial and marine species died out only very recently, so early humans likely had to deal with them as a natural hazard of life! I would not be surprised if a lot of myths about dragons and sea monsters are based on these very real creatures who we shared the world with.

Which type of trees? Plants seem to have independently converged towards what we recognize as trees quite a few times from the Giant Horsetails, and Scale Trees, progymnosperms(ancestors of gymnosperms) of the Paleozoic to the later "seed ferns" from which Angiosperms would emerge from to convergent achieve treelike structures multiple times even among the woody plants we think of as hardwood, if that wasn't enough even Ferns got in on the action in the southern hemisphere as has giant Bamboo in eastern Asia. So really there is no one group of trees given the plants we call trees emerged from very different branches of the Plant kingdom/family. It is just a really really popular form for convergent evolution....

I think carnivorous plants started out as plants that had hairy leaves that were just trying to keep insects from eating the leaves. Later the hairs evolved to produce a sticky drop of sap to gum up the insects' jaws, then get them permanently stuck if they didn't go away. Then as the insect bodies decayed, the decomposition products would be absorbed by the leaf, fertilizing the plant as a side benefit. This encouraged the evolution of the sticky secretions having digestive enzymes to break down the insect body faster. At this point we have the Sundew. Later refinements caused the evolution of trigger hairs that cause the cells on the opposite side of the leaf to divide all at once, causing the sticky side to curl in on the insect. As the trapping leaf mechanism became more efficient, it became unnecessary for the inside of the leaf to have sticky hairs, so those disappeared, leaving just the trigger hairs in the middle and the interlocking "trap" hairs along the edge of the leaf. At this point the Sundew evolved into the Venus Flytrap. And then there are the Pitcher Plants, a completely separate development evolving from plants with curved waxy leaves trapping rainwater that insects just happened to slip and fall in. Originally the pitcher mechanism was just to funnel rainwater toward the roots. Pitchers that developed sweet-smelling leaves trapped more insects and got better fertilization from the rotting bodies. Later generations of the plant secreted their own water into the pitcher so they didn't have to rely on rain water to fill them up. Later, like the Sundews, they evolved digestive enzymes to break down the insects faster than decomposition.
