The Ediacaran period was 635 - 538.8 Mya. That "almost" gap betwen 1 Bya and 635 Mya encompasses more than half the total known time of complex multicellular life on the planet, almost twice as long as the mesozoic during which dinosaurs were the dominant form of life 😅
A billion years....how does one frame such a thing in ones mind? And we can look at things that were living then....when I try and grasp the relatively small amount of time...7 to 8 hundred thousand years since we shared a common ancestor with chimpanzees it's nearly impossible for me... but a billion years....

The ediacaran life forms filtered the water to withhold nutrients. Eventually the shallow sea was transparent and light sensitive organs became a valuable asset. Prey could be hunted by predators. Speed, camouflage, defensive shells, teeth, spikes, claws and weapons came along. The cambrian explosion was simply an arms race.
@@gaminawulfsdottir3253 Thanks, it made my day a little better to read that. We don't know for sure, but I picked up the idea from PZ Myers, I think, and it made a lot of sense. Even to this day similar filter organisms are cleaning vast amounts of water and it is a predatorial life style about as simple as you can have. I sometimes encounter Porifera, as a scuba diver, sponges, and these are very very early animals. Filter organisms, no movement, just pumping water through.
Saying "million years bc" is redundant when "million years ago" is just as accurate and avoids the bc/bce & ad/ce nomsense. 2000 years is insignificant when considering 500-600 million years. And the whole "negative" notation has to go!

I love the way that people think that the Cambrian Explosion was the start of true multicellular life. It is just a time period where fossils have so far been discovered.
The edicaren was a story of life diverging one group towards animals another towards plants, the animal life had digestive systems the plant still absorbed its food from its environment, this was a progressive development throughout the edicaren, mobility and digestion for animals and static filter feeders for plants this was the basic direction during the edicaren, the set up for the Cambrian explosion of life. Plants and animals slowly diverged. The Cambrian was about animals developing a prey drive the application of energy when discovering a food source, predator and prey ecosystems✌️❤️🇬🇧
There was that girl in Scotland or England that found the first fossil before the Cambrian though it’s credited to a boy who reported second since they didn’t believe her.

Dude I’m SO SICK of this page (and a few others) that use terrible AI images for thumbnails.. it’s like whoever is behind it just thought it looked cool and that triumphed over any basis in reality (even though this is a scientific subject)
super interesting but way too many advertisements (and yes I used to have an ad-blocker until YT blocked viewing videos completely when it noticed there are ad-blockers)
At 43:21, the narrator says, "and attached to rocks SHELLS, and…." What "shells"? Mollusks had not yet evolved. Please explain the origin of the "shells". Besides the excellent history of early Life, this video is impressive for the geology it teaches.
Better proofreading of the spoken narrative is required. At 41:24: 'These 3D preserved fossils were discovered in Shanxi province, central China, around 541 million years ago.' Before humans, primates, mammals or vertebrates existed.
There was the Ediacaran era, from about 600 to 500 million years ago. We have now entered the EdiaKaren period, with the emergence of a new genus of aggressive predatory lifeforms.
I finished this because it is a really novel video... but I HATE AI narrators and boycott channels that use AI narrators. There's plenty of folks who will be happy to read a script.
I’ve been doing the same with creators that use terrible AI generated images for their thumbnails that have no basis in fact or science but are used to represent a scientific subject. Like.. why? Why put time into making this just to let what you thought looked cool trump an image based in reality? (Though I’m sure there was no real human behind this video, written and read by AI as well)

I'm quite sure Charnia was not photosynthetic. As far as I know it was often found at places which were too deep for photosynthesis. I heard it absorbed nutrients directly through its surface. (Not true skin)
Thank you for this high quality visual and informative breakdown of the ediacaria period…probably the best I have seen on TH-cam…and I have hunted down and watch a lot … it such a fascinating part of animal evolution and earth history ….
"Minus 635 to minus 541 million years B.C.?" If you go back in time from today you reach B.C. a mere two thousand years ago. In the context of a timescale half a billion years long, the two thousand year distinction between B.C. and A.D. is insignificant: you couldn't measure it with a micrometer. All we get from this commentary is that 'B.C.' sounds ancient to the speaker, who clearly doesn't have the least grasp himself of the length of the time interval he's talking about.
This should have been really good. Instead, it 's almost unlistenable, due to that bizarre narrative voice ; and it's nearly unreadable, why? Because someone was too lazy to render the transcript into something resembling English? Defeat, snatched from the jaws of victory. 4:03
Regardless of the how & why (religious beliefs, scientific, spiritual, etc.) it’s still so fascinating to know that as I type this out, this very life were living, future generations, it all started from essentially nothing. That’s so interesting, how something can come from nothing, how singular cell organisms shaped this very moment were experiencing now.

Great presentation and narrator. Most of evolution occurred at the subcellular level as biochemistry and genetics for billions. A new book published by Austin Macauley Publishers titled From Chemistry to Life on Earth outlines abiogenesis in great detail with a solution to the evolution of the genetic code and the ribosome as well as the cell in general using 290 references, 50 illustrations and several information tables with a proposed molecular natural selection formula with a worked example for ATP. Cheap as an e book.
Honestly. Im not sure if school didnt cover this or if i just wasnt paying attention in class when i was younger. Now i find this fascinating, but being honest i had no idea life had existed albiet much simpler than we normally think of, but still. That it exhisted for billions of years. From what i remember of my education the old number was in the hundreds of millions of years... The thought that life existed for so long before the Cambrian explosion... Its humbling to think that life has existed for so lon, and yet we as aspecies have only been around for a couple thousands, maybe tens of thousands of years. The thought that it took billions of years for the eye to develop, ushering in the arms race between predator and prey... Its just crazy to think of the uncounted generations that occured with life remaining relatively unchanging until it suddenly exploded in diversity. Truly the length of such a span of time is hard to grasp. Even the 65-66 milion years since the demise of the non-avian dinosaurs is hard to grasp, and thinking that life has existed for so much longer... It really puts our own brief existence in perspective.
unless your in school now this is new. Also unless you in a lab biology class usually considered advanced you haven't heard it yet. these topics were graduate level biology from the 50'-70's its still new to the general public.
Do you have any idea how long just 1 million years is and how much biological products that would have produced, a massive amounts much thicker than what you see.
My emotional intelligence have vanish almost all of it. I can feel happiness, emphaty, sorrow, greed, but not symphaty not love, not friendship. Like i was born to be an eremit.
(3:36) "Minus [anything] BC" would mean AD! ! ! Two thousand and twenty four years BC would be in the bronze age. Minus two thousand and twenty four years BC would be the year I'm writing this, 2024.
While I understand the need to provide information on natural history events prior to the Ediacaran in order to give context to what kind of ecology that that era arose from, I think that way too much attention was paid to the pre-Ediacaran world in this video. What you spent 15-20 minutes of the early part of this video going into unnecessarily exhaustive detail on, you could've just summarized in 3-5 minutes and moved on to the subject matter that this video was supposed to be devoted to.
This AI ends sentences like he had a stroke or has a bit of Autism. I'm not joking either. The inflection at the end of most sentences makes me think he's on the spectrum. Anyhow, great video. I love this period in earth's history.
Floor-ish-ing ??? For flourishing… Despite the information, the presentation was like a high school lecture, a list run down by the teacher. Unless there was a commercial, it was like a huge run on sentence.
"Minus x million years bc" is in the future. Bc counts backwards, with higher numbers going further into the future. That means negative numbers go into the future of bc. You have to either use positive bc numbers or negative non-bc numbers to refer to the past. So this video is incorrectly referring to millions of years in the future
I enjoyed the documentary a lot, but the background music almost made me stop watching it halfway. Why do even documentaries need loud annoying music in the background all the time nowadays?
If it not an over human knowledge and intelligence that we have evolute to what we became, if its all natural evolution, whitout any help from any aliens. How should we act, should we be more or less violent, more or less friendly and less forejudging. And if there are some space somewhere where we seem to look void compere to the more evoluted kind, we got the knowledge that theres always a bigger fish behind.
Narrator sounds a lot like Mrballen, which is pretty cool. Thanks for using a REAL human, with whatever flaws others may see or not see in using human and not a human-ish bot. Edit to add...Thank you for the unique approach to a much overlooked era in human history (Edit...'Thanks for using a human, not a narrator bot' is what I meant to say, but a grammar mistake made it sound like I was being sarcastic)

From what i remember of my education the old number was in the hundreds of millions of years... The thought that life existed for so long before the Cambrian explosion... Its humbling to think that life has existed for so lon, and yet we as aspecies have only been around for a couple thousands, maybe tens of thousands of years. The thought that it took billions of years for the eye to develop, ushering in the arms race between predator and prey... Its just crazy to think of the uncounted generations that occured with life remaining relatively unchanging until it suddenly exploded in diversity. Truly the length of such a span of time is hard to grasp. Even the 65-66 milion years since the demise of the non-avian dinosaurs is hard to grasp, and thinking that life has existed for so much longer... It really puts our own brief existence in perspective.
unless your in school now this is new. Also unless you in a lab biology class usually considered advanced you haven't heard it yet. these topics were graduate level biology from the 50'-70's its still new to the general public.
And to think that all that time, life was ever developing to us. The one species on the verge of destroying it all unless we are very, very careful.
My moma always said Life is Like a Box of Chocolates 🤣
However modern research suggests...
I find this very fascinating.
Do you have any idea how long just 1 million years is and how much biological products that would have produced, a massive amounts much thicker than what you see.
Who am I to argue or give comment. I can not even pronounce the names correctly or conceive of the time spans.
Your perspective is still important!
don't worry, the AI can't pronounce things either.
The little oomph on the end of your narration is noticeable:)
Way to use the worst possible AI voice you could find.
14:30 the visual is of an amoeba, placozoans are larger and move slowly.
Not the most charismatic fauna, but worth knowing how the Earth has changed.
For some reason the image of the reptile/fish dying in the snow made me so sad.
your best speech
Why say BC, when it should be BP (before present)?
My scientific conclusion is that Eddy and Karen have been the worst serial killers ever
Narrator really pushes the end of those woRRDDSs..
And isn't it annoying?
a little Forrest Gump-y
@@joshuadowdle9691 😆😆😆
@@Kattastrophynx Oh yeah, JenNAYYY
The AI sounds a bit like Al Gore 😅
The narrator’s continual mispronunciation of “Ediacaran” is grating on my nerves.
He had ONE JOB
Very good, high quality documentary but could you tune down with the US documentary fashion. Unnecessary drama, music, superlatives, etc.
Thank you for your comment
My emotional intelligence have vanish almost all of it. I can feel happiness, emphaty, sorrow, greed, but not symphaty not love, not friendship. Like i was born to be an eremit.
Its CAM-brian not "kaymbrian" It's named for the Cambrian mountains in Wales not pronounced the way "Cambridge" (kaym-bridge) is said
Was that raining purple later beems in this video
I wonder if this is the Apex Chert.
Forrest Gump does paleontology.
"My daddy makes greeeeaasUH."
(3:36) "Minus [anything] BC" would mean AD! ! ! Two thousand and twenty four years BC would be in the bronze age. Minus two thousand and twenty four years BC would be the year I'm writing this, 2024.
This narrator's voice reminds me of forest gumps 😂😂😂😂
While I understand the need to provide information on natural history events prior to the Ediacaran in order to give context to what kind of ecology that that era arose from, I think that way too much attention was paid to the pre-Ediacaran world in this video. What you spent 15-20 minutes of the early part of this video going into unnecessarily exhaustive detail on, you could've just summarized in 3-5 minutes and moved on to the subject matter that this video was supposed to be devoted to.
something unnatural about the timbre of the guy's voice at the end of many sentences, is it a computer talking?
Yes many youtube videos now use computer generated narration voices. I don't like it.
In a word, YEP!
This AI ends sentences like he had a stroke or has a bit of Autism. I'm not joking either. The inflection at the end of most sentences makes me think he's on the spectrum.
Anyhow, great video. I love this period in earth's history.
Cam-brian, not Came-brian. ChatGPT write this script for you? 😂
wrote and read by AI
This guy sounds like forest gump
Floor-ish-ing ??? For flourishing… Despite the information, the presentation was like a high school lecture, a list run down by the teacher. Unless there was a commercial, it was like a huge run on sentence.
♪♫♥Very interesting - Thank you for sharing for this !
Thank you for your comment
"Minus x million years bc" is in the future. Bc counts backwards, with higher numbers going further into the future. That means negative numbers go into the future of bc. You have to either use positive bc numbers or negative non-bc numbers to refer to the past. So this video is incorrectly referring to millions of years in the future
I enjoyed the documentary a lot, but the background music almost made me stop watching it halfway. Why do even documentaries need loud annoying music in the background all the time nowadays?
1:20 into the vid, cant stand the way your AI talks, very un-natural.. try real voice acting.
What is the name of the beast in the thumbnail?
Ai Fish
I have terrible gas today
Get an editor. Great info, points repeated over and over, seriously goofy misstatements. I couldn't finish it.
It’s AI generated unfortunately. I doubt they’d do anything to ever make it better
"And that's all I have to say about that"
If it not an over human knowledge and intelligence that we have evolute to what we became, if its all natural evolution, whitout any help from any aliens. How should we act, should we be more or less violent, more or less friendly and less forejudging. And if there are some space somewhere where we seem to look void compere to the more evoluted kind, we got the knowledge that theres always a bigger fish behind.
Narrator sounds a lot like Mrballen, which is pretty cool. Thanks for using a REAL human, with whatever flaws others may see or not see in using human and not a human-ish bot.
Edit to add...Thank you for the unique approach to a much overlooked era in human history
(Edit...'Thanks for using a human, not a narrator bot' is what I meant to say, but a grammar mistake made it sound like I was being sarcastic)
It's an a.i
The A.I. reading this is hilarioUUUSsssSSZZZ
