Outstanding video! Even as someone who's been interested in the prehistoric world, it always boggles my mind how old the earth is vs how long complex life has been on it. A great representation of that timeline
So I did the math. If this video were to cover everything from Earth's formation (4.5 BYA) to the death of the last stars in the universe (120 trillion years hence), and maintained the same time travel speed of roughly 1 billion years per minute, you would be staring at your screen for a grand total of 83 days and 8 hours.
Wow. I had to stop the video to give my gratitude for the great aspect of the project. Hard work here. Danke! Merci! Gracias! Gracie! Thanks! Obrigado!
Pretty much did that already with the "walking with" timelapse. Might do it again when Life on our Planet releases, if it is any good. Anyways, the precambrian is fascinating in its own right, especially if one is open to learning a bit of biochemistry. Just read "The Vital Question" by Nick Lane if you get the chance. Although a bit technical, it's absolutely trippy.
You see… *Earth is a novel.* 4.5 billion years ago, there stood a page. This page was empty, a flaming and unforgiving hell of emptiness and uselessness. None did dare read this page, for what use is a blank canvas? Until some time later, a pencil had touched the paper, taming the flames and titling it “Earth”, and sowing in the first two words to the first chapter of the book. *Water and DNA.* With quick succession, the pencil intricately sowed word after word, letter after letter. It created the first characters: prokaryotes. The characters swept across the word-flooded pages, called Oceans, and explodes in their diversity. As the pencil continued to write, the bacteria birthed new characters through the changes they made to their world. And through this, the pencil wrote some more. At every turn, characters were erected and began to play free roles in the story, to each their own unique tale and appearance. Although at some points in the novel, some of the figures in the novel were left behind to make room for new characters. And for many pages, sprouted a character so important it would change the story to their own will: a character named Man. Man took their free will and constructed the story with the pencil, bending and shaping the world to their desire. That’s when man discovered fire, and from that point on, Man had achieved a lot of amazing things and events that made the story more enrapturing. The book continues on today! We live as the characters of the story of Earth, and as we interact with other characters, some of us do wonder: what comes next of the book? Are their other novels with their own stories besides our own? What will we read of them and what will they read of us? For now, it’s time to rise and stare at the desk lamp, nicknamed the Sun, and help the pencil write a better story. Enjoy your tale friends. It will be a long long reading ride.
Everything that is alive on this planet is just a simple combination of small things that evolve each in their own right. We are nothing compared to the rest
YHWH created all things and sustains all things, He chose to form life on this planet through the process of evolution bringing forth us which He formed in His image.
@@Aerostarm lol why would you use a process of the study of nature to determine the truth behind a being that is the originator of nature. Complete non sequitur.
Fantastic!!! Could I present your 3 videos listed below for educational use in my museum; Fossil, Geological, and Natural Museum, Lampang province, Thailand? I would greatly appreciate your kindness. 1. The History of Life On Earth - Cinematic Timelapse of Evolution 2. Evolution timelapse - Walking With Monsters, Dinosaurs & Beasts 3.

Hi there, i would really like to use some of this creation in a new music video i am creating. I am a music teacher, but write and record songs about happiness within and the inner self, relating to the world we live in, humanity, and progress. My aim is to teach more about finding one's own element and creating more harmony in communities and societies, and i will be creating packages including my music to hopefully inspire . If you could let me know if its possible for me to use some of this footage i'd be most grateful . thank you
I don't own any of this footage, it's a mashup of various documentary series. You can find a list of the source material either in the video credits or in the description.
I mean there are FAR more than two missed glaciations if you really want to get into it, but then there would be a lot of quick white flashing in the paleozoic and various precambrian eras. The carboniferous glaciation, for example, was extremely expansive, but would have distracted from the perhaps more important evolutionary leaps. If this was a 10 min timelapse of just the phanerzoic then I might have included it. I decided to mainly give snowball earth attention, as it's most significant one, and it doesn't distract too much attention from other stuff that might have been a more important focus of that particular time. You might argue that there was another snowball earth around the time of great oxidiation event. And while there is evidence of glaciation, it is disputed if it was really of "snowball earth" level. And anyways, the great oxidiation would have been a important focus in this extremely compressed timelapse, IMO.
@@PaleoEdits I was referring to both the Huronian glaciation (the one after the GOE) and the Pangola glaciations, although I've her far less of the latter so I am unsure of the current consensus on it. You're definitely right though, there are far more than two missed ones. I was under the impression that the Huronian glaciation (s) was widely agreed to have been comparable to the Cryogenian ones in scale though. Interesting to know!
This is kinda tangental but what if there was a paleo doc where the scenes with microorganisms looked like actual shots under a microscope. Imagine how cool it would be to see acritarchs and the like as if they were still living organisms that were filmed under a microscope.
That'd work. If there was ever a modern organism that could stand-in as a prehistoric counterpart, it's prokaryotes. Although they switch genes and mutate a lot, they haven't really evolved morphologically since the dawn of life, nor have they increased in complexity. The oldest fossils are still distinctly recognisable as cyanobacteria, which is quite remarkable.
@@PaleoEdits I was thinking about using cgi to recreate extinct species in a way that would mimic how real microscope footage looks, but that would definitely work too. There are quite a few interesting extinct microorganisms that don't really have modern counterparts, e.g Bicellum (I suppose you could possibly use a modern holozoan as a stand in but I believe that most are drastically different in morphology to Bicellum) or the inhabitants of the Limbunya group. Also, correct me if I'm wrong or misinterpreting what you're saying, but I believe that there are some fossils older than cyanobacterial ones, such as putative fossils from the Nuvvuagittuq belt and Onverwacht Group, with the former being at least 3.7 billion years old. I suppose they are only putative though. It is still quite remarkable that we're able to associate such ancient fossils with modern groups though.
@@GoodrichthysEskdalensis To my knowledge, the oldest definitive fossil - the one that everyone agrees is a fossil - is 3.5 billion year old stromatolites, which as far as we know are structures only created by cyanobacteria. There is, however, a range of older indirect fossils or - perhaps - biochemical signatures that may be signs of life. Some biomarkers even stretch into the Hadean, beyond 4 BYA. But all of these are slightly controversial. The view that I subscribe to is that the best modern example of first life would be something more like 'green sulfur bacteria', not cyanobacteria (as far as bacteria go anyway, to say nothing of archaea). Not because of fossil evidence, but because of certain phylogenetic trees, what their krebs cycle looks like, and the extreme conditions these prokaryotes live in. If the hydrothermal vent hypothesis for the origin of life is true, then first life couldn't have used solar energy to drive metabolism. Althought, cyanobacteria may still have arisen relatively quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if the the major leaps in the evolution of prokaryotes is measured in thousands, rather than millions, of years. It also worth noting that when we go this far back in time, we really are entering a world of abstract. The hard geological evidence is scant and often heavily metamorphosed. Some of these questions may be better resolved in the lab than in the field.
@@PaleoEdits I think that there's some uncertainty with even those Stromatolites, though I've only done a cursory look into that area. If you have any papers on these specific stromatolites I'd appreciate you giving me their titles. If you don't already know about them, here are some papers on the putative organisms I mentioned earlier: Metabolically diverse primordial microbial communities in Earth’s oldest seafloor-hydrothermal jasper Evidence for early life in earth’s oldest hydrothermal vent precipitates Cellular remains in a ~3.42-billion-year-old subseafloor hydrothermal environment
@@GoodrichthysEskdalensis No, I haven't read any papers on the 3.5 BYA stromatolites but, they are commonly cited as the least controversial evidence in pretty much every literature I've read, from pop-science books (written by people in who work on in this field) to textbooks; and it was parroted as such in the geology courses I took in UNI. Hence why I parroted it. Though, there was definitely uncertanity with the fossils when they were first discovered. And I can imagine that even "least controversial" would still have some controversy to this day. After all, we're dealing with potential fossils that are almost as old as Earth's oldest remaining rock!
The world wasn’t calm and beautiful, you go back and you will doe to a disease or a dinosaur or die because the air is not right, time is more peaceful now for humans than before
Science (in this case cladistics) wouldn't say we are cousins of apes but are apes. Nothing wrong with that, might help you respect other apes as opposed to diminish humanity.
Outstanding video! Even as someone who's been interested in the prehistoric world, it always boggles my mind how old the earth is vs how long complex life has been on it. A great representation of that timeline
It really does put how new multi-cellular life is in the grand scheme of things
It’s all a fad! All the good stuff is at the cellular level!
when your chilling and this man drops a banger
So I did the math.

I never thought the big bang would sound like a relatively recent event 😅
Oh I love this, I need to know more. When would the black hole era begin, and other landmark future events? Like the sun going supergiant?
Truly a masterpiece
Extraordinary work - poetic and beautiful, science made mesmerizing.
This is beautiful! I love this! You did so well on representing the story of earth! Beautiful!! :)
it's amazing to see what had happened from the big bang to today (and MANY people think that dinosaurs are "old")

Wow! I expected this to be Phanerozoic-focused, but you really covered the entire history of life!

Breathtaking but kept out many important aspects.
Well of course, it's a 4 minute timelapse of 4.6 billion years.
Incredible and outstanding experience for learning about evolution.I loved it❤

what scene was used for rusted iron formations in 2:01
It's from BBC's 'Earth: One Planet, Many Live' with Chris Packham. Aired last year, it's a really good earth history doc.
