I have a master's in biology and I have to say, during my school time, I never got to remember the significance or even highlights of each geological time period very well.

I'm waiting for Could you survive the Triassic. I feel like the early Triassic would be the ideal point to live in because everything was dead and small from the Permian, but I really don't know.
It would be awful. The early Triassic was noxious, suffocating, CO2 through the roof, dry af, there'd be dry spells that mummified a lystrosaurus so we know what it's skin was like; there'd be acid rain and gas clouds that suffocate animals; the entire biome was trying to recover from the shear intensity of methane and CO2 from the Siberian Trapps. Even in the late-early of the Triassic the CO2 ppm was like 600. Early triassic is 1200-1900ppm. Also those crazy bipedal crocodilians roaming the dead landscape with only a few trees dotted around with the only food probably going to be lystrosaurus eating those trees, very little fresh water and a global temperature that's 4C above our current. Did I also say how dry it was? Middle Triassic is far more tolerable as the CO2 ppm was down to 350-400, and it was less dry, more forests, more temperate despite the huge desert in the middle on Pangea. Middle Permian to middle Triassic was intense, the world was trying to kill everything.
@roxyamused By the time you hit the middle Triassic, you've got coelophysus running around chomping on everything. Plus a ton of different kinds of crocs. I'm not saying it wouldn't be better than the early Triassic, because it definitely would... but it sure wouldn't be a walk in the park.
Don't worry about the critiques in the replies. There is nothing creepy about thinking that you could be friends with someone, or group of people. If that was creepy, only creepy people would have friends IRL. Sheesh.
Narrator Kallie and Show host Kallie sounds almost different individuals. Also Kudos to Gabriel. I like your creative survival insights and hair care tips in carboniferous period.
It just randomly struck me how much these are like DND campaigns. You start with a story, a goal, and you have to prepare for all these eventualities. Fair go, Eons.
The scorpions today with medically significant venom are those with mammal specific toxins in their venom as a result of co evolution with mammalian predators. Scorpions in the Carboniferous of course did not exist in such a context, so its unlikely their venom would be that bad.
How about moving high into the mountains? At high altitude there'll be less oxygen partial pressure so you wouldn't have to worry about oxygen poisoning; it would also be significantly cooler thus more comfortable; you should be able to find a nice freshwater spring, and there are probably different but viable food sources.
Playing D&D with the PBS Eons team is now on my bucket list. If there's a Patreon tier that might allow this to happen, I'd seriously consider it; I'm in southern British Columbia, Canada, about an hour from the border, so considering the size of North America, I'm not *that* far from Montana, and I've been playing since the mid 1980s, which means (a) I'm probably older than everyone on the Eons staff, and (b) I'm within fifteen years of retirement, which would make the travel easier. 🙂
That new cycle of yours has perfect timing as I'm currently preparing for my first time travel. Will be using those podcasts as an instruction manual, as there's not much of such kind of info, at least prepared this way! :)
The wife and I are really enjoying this series. We even purchased some Mussels after listening to the cambrian episode to pretend we are eating some sort of ancient sea life.
I'm at the stuck in the mud part, and I remember one of my archeology profs telling the story of how he was so weak from getting dysentery that he got stuck walking across the dig site after a rainstorm. Cue Oregon Trail jokes.
With all those broken branches, slippery mud on the ground, and the humidity, you're going to have to watch out for cuts and scrapes getting infected. No?
Even though most humans today would struggle, this is what's actually amazing about our species. We are sooo freaking adaptable. We can eat an extremely wide variety of foods, and can adapt pretty well to most environments as well.
34:50 I got stuck in mud once and had to have help getting out. I was walking like normal and the ground looked normal and suddenly I was waste deep in mud or silt or whatever. It was pretty scary lol
I have also been stuck in mud, but my class was on a wetland field trip, so almost everyone got stuck in the mud at least once. It was past my knee. But the really scary thing happened after I got out of the mud and accidentally kicked a stick. The stick stuck itself through my skin and we had to wash the foot thoroughly to make sure I didn't get any pathogens.
35% oxygen sounds high, but this was for dry air.. When you get to a temperature where water vapor makes up a significant fraction of the air, the effective oxygen concentration goes down.
I could not have so much as defined a geologic period for you two days ago, and thanks to this podcast I have now dived head first down a new rabbit hole of discovery. Thank you very much for this content.
I actually looked into the idea of eating millipedes recently. The thing with them is that they are toxic, but the toxin is produced in glands rather than their flesh. This doesn't really help with tiny millipedes like we have now, but with the giant ones it should be possible to remove or clean out the glands to remove the toxin.
Riding a giant centipede around would work right up until it decides to crawl under a root or right through a dense thicket because it's not used to having to worry about dodging anything taller than itself.
I'd gladly take giant bugs over regular-sized ones any day. I can at least punch a dog-sized roach, but the little ones get in all sorts of nasty places.
Their babies would get at you and your food. Imagine hundreds of baby roaches storming your kitchen and growing bigger while eating away all your food 😭
I think this is my favorite episode so far. I was already really looking forward to the Carboniferous Period (because it's my personal favorite), but then Gabriel came in with fern armor and riding the arthropleuras. XD
It's funny that Gabriel mentioned pokémon, because the game was based on the bug catching games of kids. They would find impressive bugs and in some cases even make them fight each other. He's literally going back to the roots of Pokemon
I'm getting flashbacks to being immersed in the 'Time Machine' series of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books from that intro! I was really into the Dinosaur adventure one!
I think the swampiness is my #1 concern. Managing to stay dry, but not having your dry area start on fire randomly is going to be a very fine balance. Clean fresh water as well is going to be in rare supply unless you get lucky enough to be around very deep water.
that image of trying to catch a giant dragonfly with a bat brought me instantly to homer simpson doing it, fighting a giant mosquitoe. and changing the course of history. imagine a world without mosquitoes
Something that wasn't touched on in the environmental hazards section was that the thunderstorms in that period would have been *insane* given the high air oxygen content and humidity! And every lightning strike would've had the chance to light a wildfire of biblical proportions 😱
We’re publishing the Eons podcast right here on TH-cam during our off weeks! As usual, we’ll be back with another regular Eons episode next week.
