@@TheWunder I would say that's more of a reflection on how good Wikipedia can be. AFAIK, this is one of the series Prof. Dave has the script written by someone else, who is an expert in the field, and he does the visuals.
No. Public school near Milwaukee. Although theory of plate tectonics was in the 20s, I don't think it gained traction until the 60s. So a elementary school teacher wouldn't be aware of the latest advances.
Right. The theory had been proposed decades earlier but only known in geological circles. There was no internet back then. Plus, little did I know the I was in the forefront of the theory as a third grader.
One small correction: The dinosaurs did not all die off. The descendants of the avion dinosaurs are still with us and their species outnumber the mammals about 2 to 1. Yes, all the big ones died off, but not all of them. I imagine that the birds survived for the same reason the mammals did. They were small and endothermic. That made it possible for them to survive the impact winter and food shortage that likely lasted for decades.
Great info, Professor Dave. Harkening back to my school days, I recall studying the different epochs, eons, and periods, but we never really explored the impacts of plate tectonics on ocean currents and global climate. In those days, we basically studied the causes of the transition from predominant dinosaur to predominant mammals, and mixed in some info on how early primates evolved into homo sapiens. Always appreciate you taking these scientific wonders and explaining history through story-telling. Kudos once again!
@@MacyMaranatha777 Yeah yeah. You are the most truthful person in the world. The World was created around 6000 years ago. Dinosaurs were leftovers from Noah's ark.
Love how you included that we're still technically in an ice age. That really drives hime the point that it isn't normal to have global temperatures changing this rapidly. So rapidly that the jet stream is permanently changed for the rest of human existence and will probably end up being partly responsible for our extinction.
Great video! Explains it in a way that makes it very easy to understand. I really never have problems with understanding on this channel, and that even though I am a little stupid.
When I was on the Glomar Challenger for DSDP Leg 86, in 1982, we collected marine microfossil data for Project CLIMAP. Going models at the time had the Northern Hemisphere trending toward a cooling and glacial advance. Obviously we've blown that trend in a big way
Thank you for this video, very great series. Correct me if I’m wrong but during the Mesozoic Earth was in a hot house due extremely high levels of CO2 (much higher than today), when the late Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event yes there was an impact winter caused by the asteroid but it only lasted a few decades (so a blink of an eye in geologic time but still very important) and for the next few million years Earth entered a even hotter hot house known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum due to even higher co2 levels. And I know you explained it in this video of your series as things such as the creation of mountain ranges and chemical weathering as long with changes in ocean currents cooled earth and started sucking co2 into the oceans leading to global cooling and starting the current Quaternary ice age which we have been cycling in and out of glacial-Interglacial cycles due to Milankovitch Cycles and changes in co2 levels. I think that’s very interesting and really puts our modern warming in perspective and how much humans could really warm this planet of action isn’t taken.
This is really helpful for me, because our biology sir taught us about this time line but I couldn't imagine any of them but this vedio really gave me a idea how is it look like...thank you...
As much as I like this hypothesis, it is not widely accepted as science fact. There needs to be more study to accurately determine the age of the hyowatha impact craters. The so called "real" scientists picked up a bit of sediment from the run-off and said that the impacts occurred around 55 million years ago. As far as I'm concerned, that didn't prove anything.
The Thermohaline also gives us glaciations. The prime example is 12,900 years ago when it collapsed and we were hit with the Younger Dryas Extinction Event.

At 1:24, when you assert humans evolved in Africa, is this based on assumptions from the 1960's, or actual evidence from human and pre-human fossils found in Africa, showing a continuous evolution to modern man?
1:20 Hey, Dave I just want to say that this picture isn't really correct because the neanderthals aren't our direct ancestors. We both come from homo erectus, yes, but neanderthals evolved based on their environment (they mostly lived in cold Europe) and homo sapiens lived in Africa. They even lived both at the same time. Our direct ancestors are Cromagnons. Neanderthals were physically stronger and more endure because they lived of hunting while homo sapiens lived of plants mostly. They had more developed back of the brain which is for vision, while homo sapiens had more developed top part of the brain which is for social skills. Neanderthals weren't much social. They just lived in families while homo sapiens lived in groups of up to 200 people.
It is still heavily debated as to what the first primate was, we have Plesiadapis, Altiatlasius, along with Purgatorius and other possible first primates. However many paleontologist have been very… Skeptical on this topic.
Let's see... Whom to believe? Troll high schooler who is impressed with ambidexterity, or Professor Dave, who has taught science and published a book on how to sniff out trolling pseudoscience on the internet. It's a tough choice, but I'm going with Professor Dave. Back to your two-handed drawing, troll. Hope you make out of high school so you at least have a shot at Stanford, but I'm not betting on it.
I don't understand why after the asteroid killed the dinosaurs, more dinosaurs didn't evolve since dinosaurs were there at the beginning before the asteroid. Also Why did a whole different species of animals start to evolve after the asteroid but different species of animals didn't evolve during dinosaurs.
Once a branch of life specializes, there’s no going back to generalized forms. Your children will have characteristics of all your ancestors, but won’t be exactly like any of them. So extinctions reduce overall diversity that we can’t get back, ever. Also, when organisms go extinct, other organisms will change to take advantage of the niches they leave empty. Once that’s happened, they won’t give up that niche. For instance, if a sauropod had emerged again in the Miocene, it couldn’t have competed with Miocene mammals who were adapted for cooler, drier conditions. Dinosaurs did evolve, through. One line that was suited for conditions in a colder, drier world, became birds. Evolution is happening all the time. Dinosaurs very definitely were radiating out on various evolutionary paths during the time that they dominated. As was all other life.
We must wident the panama canal and re gain the ocean warm current to the north! Oh but wait, we are fighting global warming. We must stop the ocean currents to cool the earth I mean. Thats what we need to do.
Yeah we don't do it with carbon, that's only good for 50,000 years or so. We use many other nuclides. K/Ar, U, etc. Many different nuclides can be used, and also compared to corroborate values.

Hi Dave, do think that the human species will still exist in 1000 years from now? I mean all the damage or destruction humans have done to the planet earth in the last 300 years is not a good sign for a bright future. It looks more like that humans working towards their own extinction. No asteroids etc needed to wipe out the human species.
