Yeah, I envy them too. Especially the 2025 me, who'll be able to binge this series when it's completed. But, it's just a few years ahead so no worries!
Good to see another complete history of earth vid. This series introduced me to your channel and I can't overstate how interesting I find all these videos. Thanks for making this stuff for us.
I've always been interested in paleontology, but I rarely looked into anything that wasn't dinosaurs. This series has taught me so much already, and has gotten me way more interested in paleontology outside of the Mesozoic era. I really love the work you're doing and I can't wait for more videos from this channel.
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead there should be a little more structured routine here soon. He’s still getting all settled in from the big move but is really geared up for bringing more content to everyone 😁😁 regardless of the consistency, I’m so happy to see these
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead he should be getting back on track of posting weekly videos soon! We recently moved to another state & you never know how much crap you have until you pack, move & try to unpack 😅
@@ThePurpleKrow for real, I've had to move a couple of times and it's crazy because you don't realize how much stuff you have lol. I just watched the Season 2 Preview video yesterday so now I understand, thanks for the info! 🙏🤜🤛
This series is truly awesome, dinosaurs are so saturated in our consciousness that I'm loving the conversation about the other eras of history. Can't wait for the next one!
Keep these up. Just discovered your videos tonight and I had to watch the other videos to catch up to this one. Coincidentally, I found it within hours of upload. Your style is unique and very enjoyable. I very much look forward to going through all of the eras on this channel. I especially appreciate it when the more obscure eras are given love.
I think what should be worth mentioning is that, by the end of the Silurian, only five of the nine generally accepted orders of Trilobite survived. By the end of the next period, only one will remain, Proetida. Really shows how well adapted they were considering we live closer to the extinction of Trilobites than they did to their own evolution.
I just have to say I love this series. I feel like videos about the history of the Paleozoic start with the cambrian explosion, skip straight ahead to the first jawed fish, and then skip ahead again to the great dying. It’s awesome to have a series detailing the complete history of the paleozoic, and talking about all of these forgotten periods that were so crucial in life’s history.
I accidentally stumbled on your channel last night and I am blown away by the content on earth's history! Please please please make more videos, it's so interesting and I love how you deliver the content.
I'm glad you are back. You make learning about the history of the earth fun. I never thought I even cared to learn about this stuff but you have me really interested. 😁
Haven't started watching yet, but I appreciate the video none the less. Have been waiting for you to post for awhile! + I have introduced many of my family and friends into this channel.
So excited another video is out!! This is my first time really diving into the topic of the Earth's history and development, and I'm finding it so fascinating. I can't wait for the next one!!
This was a very interesting and entertaining video. It was great. I never new there were tree size mushrooms on earth. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks
yes, makes you think that on other worlds there will be eras similar to the ones on Earth; and there may be some big mushrooms there too, a delicious and potentially deadly food source for future explorers on alien worlds!! Que the next "B" sci fi movie: "Planet of the Toxic 'Shrooms"!! LOL ;D
You know…it’s right around the 5:55 ish second mark, when the “evolving” animation appeared…only then did it suddenly become clear to me….I’m way, way to invested in this series🤦♀️as I was literally thinking…😱”ooo I wonder what he’ll be next?” With a big stupid grin on my face! 😅😉👍
So nice to see an update from you! Hope you're doing well. I love the way you talk about Earth's history; I can really hear the passion and appreciation in your words. You have a way of making every era of Earth feel special in its own way. It makes me want to keep learning more. Thanks for another fantastic video!
I absolutely love this channel! It has made me find again my long-lost love for paleontology and history from when I was a child. Also insane respect for that tierzoo shoutout. Keep up the good work and thanks a lot for this amazing content!
Hey, I love your videos, I am watching all of them. Just a small note about prototaxites. It is more likely that they could have been just mats of plant material that rolled into big cilinder-like structure as it dried, forming what could have appeared as a trunk. I don't remember the article's name but there is at least one that discusses this topic. It was disappointing because I really liked the idea of this giant fungi standing upright.
Coolest and down to earth paleontology channel. He may not be the smallest or oldest that hadn't broken the million subscribers mark but if he keeps up he will.
You have single handedly made me a paleontology nerd, I’ve spent the whole day binge watching your videos at work. Shut up and take your likes and subscription
What is the story with the giant mushrooms? Plants compete for height to get sunlight, but since fungi are not photosynthetic, what were they reaching for? What was the evolutionary advantage to becoming enormously tall? Also, what were they using for food? Were they breaking down rock, or using the cyanobacteria and early plants?
They reproduce with spores, so being tall allowed them to release their spores higher into the wind for wider dispersal. Unlike modern mushrooms which release spores once from a cap that then dies back, the Silurian giant fungi stalk kept growing taller year after year. The stalks had scars from the older spore sacs, the newest ones were at the top. Their hyphae fed on the decaying plants which grew low around them. Without animals to eat the plants, they just rotted in place, providing food for the fungi.
There I no purpose or need for a giant mushroom. None its ability to spread spores doesn't depend on such great height. It just doesn't need to and it's counter productive as that REAQUIRES MUCH MUCH MORE work and resources. There is absolutely no gain to get or maintain that kind of height. Noone ever considered the difference in oxygen the much higher air pressure and the possibility of a denser cloud layer. There are reasons why a fragile fly could get big enough to have a 12 in plus wing span.
Hello! I completely stumbled on your channel because I was hungry for more paleontology videos. I absolutely love your content and I think you are doing an amazing thing here. The information is excellent, the animations and art are wonderful and imagination-sparking, and you have an excellent delivery style. I am so thrilled I found you; I have learned so much about weird animals after the Permian extinction an d the early days of life on this planet, something that isn't discussed too frequently because everyone rushes to the Cretaceous. Please do keep it up; I am enjoying this series in particular, though all of your videos have been great!
Awesome series, as a layperson it's engaging to see these things put into a continuous chronological context rather than presented in a vacuum as they typically are. Subscribed!
It is always fun when you drop another video. I always claim that pet videos are the reason youtube can exist, but videos like this, is why it should exist.
all i can say is thanks for making learning fun cant wait for the next one of these the whole series so far has been and is a blast to watch (tim tim is awesome lol)
The Devonian is one of my favorite Periods, except for the end of it, when Oxygen levels dropped enough to make it tough to walk around, for any length of time. I must go back there, some day.
8:42 One interesting fact: apparently we haven't (yet) found any Radiodont fossils from the Silurian, but we know they were alive during this time due to a radiodont fossil named Schinderhannes Bartelsi from the early Devonian. Wonder if any radiodonts ever fought eurypterids...
I absolutely love you channel. I’ve watched every video of the series. Some I’ve watched a few times. It’s amazing how much I learned in such a short time. Paleontology has always interested me, but had a hard time sorting out the different eras. Especially with the Paleozoic eon, so much to learn. Your series is very entertaining, and helped me puzzle it together in my mind. Thank you, and well done. I can’t wait for you next video.
I am thoroughly enjoying your "complete history of the Earth" series. I'm looking forward to the deep dive (no pun intended, maybe) into the Carboniferous and Permian marine ecosystems. Paleo-Edu channels have a lot covered regarding the terrestrial ecologies. Still, these are the two periods where I'm not very familiar with the dominant marine taxa in detail. So the Devonian is all about Dunkleosteus and the Placoderm co. But then you don't hear about a successful group until the Triassic with the Ichthyosaur radiation. Who were the top dogs of the Carboniferous and Permian oceans? Thank you for your content.
I'm loving this series. I have a perennial desire to research the Earth's history and it ends up looking like 50 wiki tabs open across my screen. This show has consolidated it, somewhat. Thank you!
I envy the people that find your channel in like 2026 and can just binge this series back to back.
Agreed
He's been out and unable to do lots of videos, have a little patience my dude
@@Markfps no worries, not complaining, I'm happy for the free content :). I just envy some folks
@@TheKlaun9 Yeah, but on the other hand - they'll be in 2025, and if the recent trajectory of history continues...
Yeah, I envy them too. Especially the 2025 me, who'll be able to binge this series when it's completed.

This series is truly awesome, dinosaurs are so saturated in our consciousness that I'm loving the conversation about the other eras of history. Can't wait for the next one!
Some dinosaurs are but there are other animals from that era that arent.
Yup, instead of the endless remakes of Jurassic Park movies, there could be some interesting ones made of other geologic eras!
Magic commentary. Mixes brilliantly the two essential ingredients of learning i.e. being Informative and entertaining. I look forward to each episode.

Man I've been waiting for another of these videos for a while.
YEAH! Bring on the history of Earth!!!
Yeah a new installment of your history of the earth series. Love your videos. Educational and entertaining.
So excited another video is out!! This is my first time really diving into the topic of the Earth's history and development, and I'm finding it so fascinating. I can't wait for the next one!!
This was a very interesting and entertaining video. It was great. I never new there were tree size mushrooms on earth. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks
And this is why the Paleozoic needs more coverage. We had a literal Mushroom Kingdom so to speak

I love this series, there is more to expect, with more detail as the periods accumulate for obvious reasons.
Thank you for this content!
Please don't make us wait long for the next one! Your channel is amazing. Love your work!
Great to see this goated series back
such a good series i wish it wouldnt end

Here's my comment for the algorithm.
Hey, I love your videos, I am watching all of them. Just a small note about prototaxites. It is more likely that they could have been just mats of plant material that rolled into big cilinder-like structure as it dried, forming what could have appeared as a trunk.

I love this channel and this video was just so epic and I wish yall had a good day
Your videos demonstrate a deep personal knowledge of the subject and extensive research. I always enjoy your videos. From Brisbane Australia.
I missed the videos man. This one was great. Thanks so much and glad you’re back to making content again
So glad the new paleo analysis dropped 🙏💥🏜
Evolution is one of my big interests, and you make it easy for even non-professionals to understand. love that Tim-Tim is evolving, too.

I would love to see this series all combined on one video.
Love this series! Welcome back!
Keep it up!
Very entertaining summaries with the right mix of biology, geology and climatology.
Admirable scholarship and presentation as well.
I could watch something like this for hours.
Hurrah! You're back! I've been waiting as fast as I can :)
Can't wait for the next episode! Hyped for more placoderms and chondrichthyes.
The only problem with this series is that I cannot simply bingewatch all episodes until current times :D
Yet.
oh how i have missed this series
I wish I had more friends to show this to. It's so good.

The stalks had scars from the older spore sacs, the newest ones were at the top. Their hyphae fed on the decaying plants which grew low around them. Without animals to eat the plants, they just rotted in place, providing food for the fungi.
PBS Eons has made a video going into this, it's called "When giant fungi ruled" IIRC.
There I no purpose or need for a giant mushroom. None its ability to spread spores doesn't depend on such great height. It just doesn't need to and it's counter productive as that REAQUIRES MUCH MUCH MORE work and resources. There is absolutely no gain to get or maintain that kind of height.

This is so interesting! I am super invested. xD
Can't tell you how excited i was to see this video pop up!
i would focus on this series. this is good stuff.
Found ya just a week ago.
please do more of this stuff.
