To be honest, your words really touched me. As a beginner in English, I can only study it in my spare time. I am a Taiwanese person who grew up in Portugal, and I only speak Chinese and Portuguese. This channel is also just a hobby outside of my work. I really like paleontology, and although I'm not a professional, I enjoy studying these things. Oh, I've said too much nonsense. Anyway, I really appreciate your understanding, it means a lot to me.

@@AncientDiscovery what a fascinating story! You are quite the expert for a hobbyist. Congratulations on turning your interests into a worthwhile project to share with others. Thanks again!

Oh, my dear friend, I am not a native English speaker, and I am learning English; that’s the reason， My English level is not enough to support me to read a copywriting smoothly.

Currently, there is no evidence suggesting that they lived in the deep sea, as all discovered fossils come from ancient shallow sea sediments

@@AncientDiscovery Thanks!

Thank you for watching my video.

The fossil of the ammonite is indeed beautiful, a miracle of creation, second only to... the fragments of a Homo erectus skull.HAHAHAHAHA

Oh, some BGM violated copyright, so I deleted the BGM and republished it.

That's just a metaphorical writing technique to help non-professionals understand the role of imaginal discs in the transformation from larvae to adult insects. I specifically recommend you look at these two books: "The Development of Drosophila melanogaster": This book details the development process of fruit flies, including the formation and function of imaginal discs. Gilbert, S.F. (2013). "Developmental Biology," 10th edition. Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates. This book has a chapter dedicated to insect metamorphosis and imaginal discs.

@@AncientDiscovery thanks but im still wondering, are the larval and the adult insect stages of the insect two separate organisms? This type of life cycle is far more alien than i ever imagined, so strange and fascinating

@@ohdahngboi_2237 Although the larval and adult stages differ greatly in form and function, they are different developmental stages guided by the same genome. The larval stage can be seen as a period of growth and energy accumulation in the insect's life cycle, while the adult stage is focused on reproduction and dispersal. The energy and resources accumulated during the larval stage provide the foundation for the survival and reproduction of the adult stage.So...No

plz watch part3

Regarding cartilaginous fish, there's another video. In the evolutionary process, ray-finned fish indeed have a lineage that closely mimicked cartilaginous fish, which is the Chondrostei, or as you mentioned, sturgeon. However, they survived less , so I didn't specifically mention them. They are indeed not cartilaginous fish but could be considered masters of mimicry.

Thank you !

While it's an intriguing hypothesis, there isn't currently sufficient evidence to support the idea. Most researchers consider Chondrichthyes to be a distinct class of fish separate from Acanthodii, which are typically categorized as jawed vertebrates with bony skeletons. However, scientific understanding evolves, and new evidence could potentially change our perspectives on this matter-ChatGpt

Regarding the topic of lungfish, please watch my video on lobe finned fish

I'm glad you like my video

Many terms in paleontology are often mispronounced, and there isn't a perfect solution yet.

@@AncientDiscovery Right but I have never in my life heard anyone pronounce the word as "Dinnosaur". Very small children know how to say say Dinosaur. I suppose what fundamentally bothers me is the fact that I am now in witnessing in earnest Automaton replacement of my line of work.

How should I put it? The advancement of AI has exceeded everyone's expectations, but I believe we need to learn to harness technology. Each technological revolution replaces some jobs, which is a harsh reality. However, we can only adapt; technological development is an unavoidable issue that we can't change. We can only change ourselves.

Such is the weakness of AI voices

From dinosaurs to birds

That's the fascinating thing about natural history-there are always captivating mysteries waiting to be unraveled. However, the relationship between oxygen levels and insect size is quite complex and not something that can be explained in just a few sentences.

I'm glad you enjoyed my videos, although it's underrated, after all, paleontology is not entertainment videos, most people are not interested. However, I am happy to make these videos

thank you

@@AncientDiscovery your welcome

Love the VDO as always! Btw, I think your voice is much more awesome.

@@mevalinf4955 How I wish this was my voice, and how I wish my English had reached this level already, but unfortunately... it's not the case. Haha

@@mevalinf4955 thank you

Unfortunately, evolution can be brutal...

I used to make videos about trilobites, but I had to delete them due to copyright issues. Now, I can only use AI because I make videos solely for the purpose of learning English, but my English proficiency is not yet sufficient to read aloud on my own.

@@AncientDiscovery Why was the trilobite video taken down? what possible copyright issue could there be? music

I used some BBC video clips, but then I couldn't find suitable replacements. However, I'll remake them in the future, probably next month.

No, I'm just using video-making as a way to learn English. If you think there are mistakes, you can point them out and tell me the correct pronunciation. This can help me learn English better, rather than using a questioning tone to accuse something. Because you can simply close the video and do something else that makes you happy, right?🖕

ca-rot-id artery. Pan-gee-a continent. Sa-rop-sid. Si-nap-sid. Watch PBS Eons to discover the proper pronunciation for these complicated words .

"Is your judgment of whether to dominate the world based on quantity? Isn't it based on the size of occupying ecological niches? According to your logic, I think, microorganisms are the ones dominating the world."

@@AncientDiscovery I would agree with that. microorganisms are very successful, and highly evolved and adapted to many environments. But I think if aliens looked at our planet they would want to meet the ants fist since they are the most advanced life with the most complex well functioning systems and a reach and complexity that puts everyone else to shame. The age of the ants began just some 50 million years ago and who knows how long it will last. They are just getting started.
