    This is literally my favorite video on all of TH-cam which sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but after coming here to watch it or listen to it in the background as I do other things so many times I think its time I said thanks. Something about the balance of its grand encompassing reach, general sense of direction, lack of full diving into overly specific scientific details, and condensed easy to digest nature really hits it home for me. Many episodes or shows delve too deep into details or don't give a good sense of the overall timeline in a way that I can connect with and I think that's what I needed most for a general understanding of the evolution of life and development of our planet. This video ties together all the details I've heard for years and does so in a step-by-step timeline that I can easily explain to someone who asks. Thank you SciShow, for this amazing combo-episode.

    My smirky observation of Hank thoroughly explaining (perhaps doubling down) on the dino to bird connection @ 25:05 : I can't explain how happy it makes me to know that just 5 yrs later the term "non-avian theropod(s)" is now a widely accepted across not only the research oriented demographic and amateur paleontologists but also to the more pedestrian among us (such as myself!) In just my short lifetime I've witnessed our understanding of dinosaurs evolve from tail dragging lumbering beasts, and I'm excited to see how much more my granddaughter's generation will learn.

    The Thagomizer name for the spiky end of a stegosaurus tail is from the comic strip The Far Side. The joke is some cavemen are discussing what to name the end of the tail. It turns out because their colleague Thag was recently killed by one, so they named it the Thagomizer.

    Scientists really missed the chance to call the oxygenation event “Extinction O”. I mean, the double meaning is right there. It was a mass extinction event that took place before the conventional “Big 5” (Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and K-T) hence the O as in zero, and O also happens to be the symbol for the element responsible for the extinction.

      When I was young, they were still putting the spikes vertically on dinosaur toys, and I was the sort of kid who left his toys out on the floor, so as you can imagine, the thagomizer is something Dad feels very passionate about. It's his one-up any time someone mentions stepping on a Lego.

Original Sharptooth, Chomper's Parents, and most of the Sharptooths (Tyrannosaurus - Late Creatceous) other Sharptooths (Allosaurus - Late Jurassic. Giganotosaurus - Early Cretaceous. Baryonyx - Early Cretaceous. Spinosaurus - Early Cretaceous. Deinonychus - Early Cretaceous) Underwater sharptooth (Mosasaurus - Late Cretaceous and Lipleurodon - Late Jurassic) and that Sailed Back Reptile in the first movie (Dimetrodon - Middle Permian). So Grass being Land Before Time is just continuing the misplaced wildlife trope.

They were here like the dinosaurs and were basically animals. We didn’t evolve from them but they basically died off. In Geniesis it says that there was earth and seas and God says let there be light. I believe he’s saying that he is bringing in new light to the dark world and creating new. Hope that lets you see some Christians in a new light. Science and Jesus can coexist. God Bless❤️

    Great video guys, or videos. But when you talk about the endosymbiosis (minute 8:16) "one cell ate but didn't digest" another cell, there is a question... how could that cell self-replicate? regarding how did the development of internal new acquired organelles (mitochondria) get their own mitosis during cellular division.. or how did the new organelle get sequenced in the DNA of the cell so all new descendents will have mitochondrias? i know its a hard question, is there any info about it?

      So those genuine and brilliant science nerds took a name from a genuine, brilliant comedy writer/cartoonist's work to create an actual name for an actual brilliant creature from our deep past- kinda incorporating all that together. My head is whelming out of control. That's wonderful!

      @@renendarkfire infectious diseases started to become a problem when people began farming and storing large amounts of grain. Rodents started to move into human settlements and farms and began the spread of disease in humans. The problem became a thousand times worse when people moved into towns and cities with many people living close together. This extreme crowding is what caused infectious diseases in humans to take off and spread like wild fire. Instead of taking the not so subtle hint and abandoning their crowded lifestyle, they just kept breeding and getting even more numerous and crowded, and sicker. Then they created inventions to help them cope with the twisted and unnatural lifestyle they have created for themselves. And alas, it continues to this day. Why is it that we have the coronavirus? Because of overpopulation and crowding. And it's proving to be a bit too much even for an advanced 21st century society with all its latest technology.

      Essentially, the demand that all of a modern cell form spontaneously, complete in every detail, in a single instantaneous event is ridiculous -- and it is the central claim behind the religious 'special creation' and all of its' disguises. Evolution works incrementally, as anyone who Actually Watched The Video would understand; variations arise, and some of those variations survive better in the environment they are in. Those variants usually leave more offspring; less successful variants leave fewer (or no) offspring. Over time even small variations add up to big changes.
