Natural history is full of living things that were long thought to have gone extinct only to show up again, alive and well. Paleontologists have a word for these kinds of organisms: They call them Lazarus taxa. Go to squarespace.com/eons and use code “EONS” for 10% off your first order.

Ding ding ding.
Whatever he's meant to say, he invariably admitted and dogmatically claimed that 1) everything biologists state as scientific fact is based on a scant bit of evidence 2) though the evidence is small, it is a random, generalizable and a more-or-less complete representation of life on earth, and 3) no change in the explanation of life and evolution would occur if every organism's remains had fossilized and been found and studied down to the DNA level. In other words, modern biology is a religion.

@@whimpypatrol5503 What? have you ever checked how they decode genetic code of living organisms? Biology is a science. And it is updated with every new discovery, which means they totally admit when they have something that's inaccurate or wrong... unlike religion.
The realization fossils probably 'missed' a lot of animals really blew my mind. Just think of all the organisms that could have existed that weren't easily preserved.

Yes. It really makes me wonder how many species lived, thrived came and went and left no trace.
Erik Swanson I was thinking the same thing, like how many species have we missed that are super different and may even complete other animals diets and other things
Be thankful that they are. Every lost species, every extinction event, every death led evolution to creating you.

Imagine if there are other creatures in the ancient seas that we will never discover because they never fossilised at all
Alex the thought of it both amazes me and disappoints me a bit. Lots of undiscovered species that we will never discover in the fossil record because conditions have to be just right to fossilize
We've only discovered less than 1000 dinosaurs. They lived for 160 million years.
dryboneskirby I think I saw something about how we’ve only discovered 1% of all species
dryboneskirby Easily done because it happened all the time.
There was a whole family of related multicellular creatures who existed just before the Cambrian. They had, of course, no bones or other hard structure; they only are known by very rare soft-bodied fossils. They are known as the Ediacaran biota, for the period they lived in which in turn refers to a mountain range in Australia. They went completely extinct, probably out-competed by Cambrian species and are not represented in today's biosphere.
"They didn't live in the right places to leave their bones behind so we could find them" a very scientific thing to say
He's explaining to LAYMEN!
They are intelligent and might have a power to do something like what happened to ymir..
Soo they want to keep stay away from human..
Scientists: the coelacanth is officially extinct.
Me having just caught one in animal crossing: 👁👄👁
This channel constantly have these little casual moments that make me appreciate the incredible level of expertise of these scientists. "That creature look all wrong, it's found in rocks from 378 million years ago but it should have disappeared 20 million years earlier."
I'm sad, there could be so many animals that lived and yet we know zero about. "I'm thinking about you mystery creatures!!"
David Jordan Pretty much the vast majority of all species
Lol this guy hilarious
We know more about dinosaurs, but we obviously don't know the animals and reptiles before dinosaurs. Such animals back then were very primitive and four legged.
金魚ZeZeKingyo whaaaaat?
Fun fact: the alleged ancestor for all vertebrates is called "Dickinsonia". Don't we love it when scientists have a sense of humor? (I'm looking at you, Uranus)

Araucaria is a tree genus that has existed since the early Triassic (245 ma). I have a fossil of it and a LIVING ONE in my balcony. It's so awesome! ^.^
Wow, that's cool!
PortugueseEagle That's fascinating! We have Araucarias at Serra do Rio do Rastro National Park in south Brazil as well :)
We have a lot of Araucarias in South Brazil. The Araucaria is actually the symbol of South Brazil.
That sounds insane and so weird to think about. A rock of millions of years old that by sheer chance was in a place that someone could find it in, holding the impression of a dead organism that also by sheer chance was in the perfect conditions to be fossilized...next to the same organism, living, breathing, right in your garden...time is weird.
Auracaria includes Norfolk Island Pines and Monkey Puzzle Trees. Both do well here in coastal Florida!

Very informative. I really liked the use of “a film with frames missing” as an analogy for the fossil record. Cleverly simple.

Imagine how many creatures and fossils we have lost forever at subduction zones
Or to The Smithsonian; lots of species lost to THAT subduction zone. . .
Or, ya know, just eroded away or been ground up for jewellery and medicine.
tbf I don't think there's be many, if any, fossils in the environment of the bottom of the ocean, especially in such old rock. I don't think we'd be digging at the bottom of the ocean anyway lol. What's sad is all the fossils lost to private collections
Coelacanth are one of my most favorite fish, simply because their simple design has lasted for so gosh darn long.
And also because Relicanth was one of my favorite Gen 3 Pokemon.
For me it was the other impossibly rare one, milotic.

No

It has to be found in the fossils first. Otherwise, it's not a comeback.
Nope
12,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, the seas were much lower. Civilizations center round coasts and down rivers. Imagine what discoveries there are, silted over, under the sea beds!

Who would've known that the founding titan is this important 😰😂
Wow! Once in a while, amongst the crapflood of "Top 10" videos on youtube, there's some genuinely educational stuff. I browse all the time for something educational relating to paleontology and this is the first I've found this year that had something truly new since my Uni history of life classes. Marella and other Burgess shale descendants surviving into the Ordovician?! Truly new info and nicely presented. Subscribed!
I've found that after about THREE YEARS SOLID of clicking on "not interested", I've managed to hold the crapflood more-or-less at bay.
All my friends are too busy wasting their time watching garbo Netflix shows while I'm here multitasking - bingeing Eons and learning at the same time!

Bro I just saw the tribute to anomalocaris you can't break my dreams this way
He was a great one, but all things end
Same lool
I've started watching these in my breaks while learning for my geography states exam. Sometimes it feels like 3 minutes is your videos help me more than 20 pages of intense reading. So thanks for that!
This really reinforced the fact of how amazing it is that we can find _any_ sort of fossilized remains at all. I find it fascinating that scientists can zero in on specific areas where fossils (especially, certain _types_ of fossilized animals) are likely to be found.
Definitely. You catch scientists briefly saying things like "well, we knew where to look because this used to be a sea..." in documentaries, but I've never really seen exactly _how_ they sleuth these things out.
For example, dry land will never produce vast amounts of calcite or chalk sediments.
That kind of rock is produced by plancton with an exoskeleton.
Or you do find marine fossils like sponges or corals on these sediments which can also be an indicator.
+Vulcano Thanks for the input! I think the seafloor example is one you hear about when they do talk about how they find them. I would like to know about continental drift, forests, lowlands, wetlands...the whole shebang! :)
Well you are talking to a geology student here.
What questions do you have?
I'll try to answer them the best I can.
Yup, easy ones include the California Tar Pits. Hundreds of Dire Wolf fossils have been extracted there..
In other words, the Burgess Shale got greedy. "I've shaled out enough fossils. I'm not going to shale any more with you."
Booooo
Well that didn't work out.. did it
Master Therion I approve this message. I'm a chicken.
That crack made my bones hurt.
Thou shale not make puns about the Burgess Shale.
I just noticed the thumb is really similar to the page of AoT ch137, the one with those two same animals

And this is just *OUR* planet . Imagine other planets with life with different types of metabolism n environment . How many did got extinct or escaped extinction there ?

Is it just me or is the music some of the best part of these videos? Makes everything sound so epic. Anyone know the source of the music?
XCodec I do not know it but it is nice, isn't it?
Alongside Hank's absurdly good narration in this series, listening to these episodes is just brilliant.
Honestly? It's suuuper depressing...
XCodec if you like that you might like some Mogwai songs. Check them out 👍
Thought it was pretty tasteful in this time. In previous episodes I've found it super distracting though
I give it two days before pepole say this proves Megalodon is still alive
Jesus Ramirez Romo people*
Jesus Ramirez Romo most likely evolved to the great white
Jesus Ramirez Romo I mean why not they could've moved to deeper oceans as to eat the larger deep sea creatures
Megalodon got mutated by radiation in the 1950s and became Godzilla. I learned about it in the recent 2014 documentary.
This is actually a species that I wouldn't be surprised if it were still around. I don't think it is based on the info I have, but I wouldn't be shocked to be proven wrong.
honestly, hanks voice is so soothing and the way he talks about this so passionately but so calmly makes me at peace

Yes, it's purpose was to broach the brain of the average Joe. American school system failed miserably relatively to others, so they thought "why don't we do their job in a bit less boring way". But don't let yourself be fooled, there are deeper things in the stream you haven't realized yet.
Such a great channel! I love this kind of stuff 👍👍👍
Cambrian extinction & explosion didn't happen just because some few stray animals survived? So apparently according to this video's logic, dinosaurs never went extinct just because some few lizards and crocs are still alive today?
And then he puts forward how "rare" and "puzzling" the fossil records are to support that theory. Such argument can be easily reversed to disprove those "treasure trove of fossils" that claim to bust the Cambrian explosion myth, don't you agree? That they are a rarity and thus an exception to the rule, instead of the "rule" itself?
Hate to break the news to you Dinosaurs didn't go extinct either. Over 9k species of them are alive and well living around us! Better be careful when you step outside.
Zen RD Well, for starters, lizards and crocs aren't descended from dinosaurs so...
