- Dickinsonia might be the oldest known member of the animal kingdom, and the origin of birdsongs from the syrinx might be a little less mysterious.

new pickup line for someone named Sonia "hey do you want to create the oldest animal?"
My doctor keeps telling me that I need to lower my cholesterol. It's like she doesn't even WANT my remains to be discovered five hundred million years from now!
Eating fatty foods for the sake of future archaeology.

Right. Duh. Thanks for the correction.
khartog01 No problem

Sweet! Going to dig some up in a couple of weeks!!
Lol
I saw you comment on a Logan Paul video!
A video about an animal named DickInSonia also contains the text "woody tissues" These guy knew exactly what they were writing.
Don’t forget “Weird fleshy oval”
This is the comment I was looking for
The first animal ever. This freaks me out a little. Even though I known all modern animals can be traced back to this or a similar organism, it still boggles my mind. Life is weird.
Not the first animal ever. Instead the earliest animal that we know of. There is a big difference between the two.
Well vertebrates may have evolved from larval stages of sponge like beings that "refused" to grow up and stay mobile. Weird is normal for life.
most likely microscopic worms are the common ancestor for everything, the more i think about it...
Sassy The Sasquatch that video is a god damn masterpiece!
@@binky2819 I'm aware. That's why I said 'or a similar one'. But an important point to make very clear. Thanks.
Plot Twist: Instead of Flat Earth or Round Earth, we live upon the back of a giant Dickinsonia as it glides gracefully through space.
space is a lie
It‘s actually a turtle with 4 elefants on its shell that are carrying our earth.
you just wanted to say giant Dickinsonia.
I, for one, am willing to open my arms to Dickinsonia as our most ancient animal overlords.
The good ol’ days.
*sip
Those were the days
Oh god, hank tried to clone himself again
love me some _Weird, Fleshy Ovals_
Fried, dipped in butter.
The possibility of prehistoric mute birds honestly freaks me out a bit. Those mofos are supposed to make sound damn it.
That is unsettling
Imagine a mute bird chasing you
Sassy The Sasquatch
Depends on the species really, many are quite noisy. They aren't in flight anywhere near 'most of the time' because of just how much energy flying takes, so their brain isn't constantly focused on that either. When they get quiet its usually to avoid predators.
But at any rate, you're conflating 'sound' with 'song' when birds do far more than sing, which is typically reserved for courtship anyway. Birds are pretty good at picking the right time and place for it too.
The scientist who named it is probably laughing is ass out while naming it.
The researcher who found it had a wife named Sonia.
and was bein cheeky
TheDonutlover3000
On cold winter nights, it was rumored that Sonia enjoyed some hot Dickens Cider.
I scrolled down in order to make this joke in a far cheaper way. Kudos to you.
cldcollector
It’s a classic. And the opportunity to use it doesn’t present itself very often.. kinda like a well placed Uranus joke. It’s up to ppl like us to keep it alive. 👊🏽
the researcher's name is Janice?
What in sonia?
I was looking for this meme.
My huge cock
My inner child is having a laughing fit when I heard that name.
Doctoral advisor: "This is an extremely important discovery. Researchers will be studying this species for decades if not centuries!" "Have you thought what to call it?"
Doctoral candidate: *giggles*
It just had to have that name... didn't it.
Cockatoo was taken
The human that named it probably had the name Dickens
@Sassy The Sasquatch I already did

Sonias of the world, rejoice.
Charnia likely predated Dickinsonia by about 10 million years. As Charnia lived too deep in the ocean for sunlight to reach it, it had to be an animal. That means that Charnia, not Dickinsonia, is likely the first animal.
But... its very likely that Charnia went extinct without any other species evolving from it. Meaning it's not related to any other extant or later extinct animals.
My understanding, and I my most certainly be wrong, is that it is almost certainly not a _photosynthetic_ plant. But there isn't enough evidence one way or the other to say if it was or wasn't a plant, animal, fungus, composite organism like lichens, or perhaps even a extinct kingdom.
The Syrinx evolved to help Geddy Lee overthrow a dystopian priesthood with sweet, sweet music in the not too distant 22nd century.
A 1.4m fleshy blob isn't scary at all...
The syrinx probably evolved like everything else: some random mutation that made some female go “ok, u sexy”.
So basically my dog?
For some reason i find the name dickinsonia very suggestive of countless ideas
Shared you post two both my Illinois fossil groups! Thank you!
An octopus playing the NES. That's an awesome t-shirt.
Great video and cool shirt !
I love the naming senses of the scientists we have...
The answer is simple: inward singing! The greatest breakthrough since yodeling.
This reminds me of divergent evolution. Like how birds, bats and insects all developed separate means of flying. If you guys didn't do a video about this, you should! It's incredibly interesting.
I'm sorry what are you doing to Sonia?
Logan Corbin
"DICKINSONIA"
"Weird fleshy oval" My ears are burning.
You guys should do an episode on von reklinghausen's Or Neroufibromotosis. It's a rare ish mutation in the NF gene i think. it is mostly connected to cellreproduction and the nervous system
Huh, a 1.4 meters long dickinsonia...
I had to replay the video from the start because I was too entertained reading the comments about Sonia.
I need to mature more xD
wow, now I know why Rush are singing about the priests of the temple of syrinx on 2112. never knew what that was referring to before :)
Science is so interesting.
I really really really need to know where I can find that t shirt. It's just awesome. I need one xdd
Can you guys do a video on neuroblastoma? It's a rare childhood cancer my daughter has. I'd love to spread the word about it and get people to watch her TH-cam channel called Alexa's Journey. Because it's rare treatment options are limited, especially in Canada.
One theory one could check is did birds loose the ability to use the larynx because, just like its hard to try talk in a convertible car because the velocity of the air, maybe these birds could not use a larynx while in flight. We could check to see if the syrinx functions better than the larynx at high velocities.
when you want to sleep but your pp doesn't calm down
Just rub one out bro. Problem solved 😎
So how does this fit with the rangeomorphs? Is it related to Charnia which appears to have grown fractally and was anchored to the seabed?
Or it’s a footprint.......(xfiles song plays)
I've been trying to reinvent the wheel for a while now. I'm having a lot of trouble though. It makes it kind of hard when company's keep putting down my idea.
My cousin!
Which playlist am I supposed to check? They all are great 🤫
More like "grandad" with thousands of "great" before it.
Let’s go bowling
Perplexion Dangerman -I think you're lion.
Lol
About the dickinsonia: It's kind of reassuring that there are traces of what a life form was left even after such a long time.
About the syrinx: Nothing in that video made it less mysterious to a biology neophyte like me, maybe something from the source material got left on the cutting floor?
About both: Science thrives on the explained, the barely explained and the unexplained, that's why it is humanity's greatest creation ever. It is also a recent way to explain the world, I can't help but wonder if some future generations might view the scientific method as primitive.
Not that I can imagine anything better but if my imagination was any good I'd be a novelist, a great mathematician or a theoretical physicist.
where do you find all these studies ??
3:18 The Syrinx also has wires that vibrate and give music....what can this thing be that I've found?
Dude how do you not call PNAS "Pee-Nass" its such a good joke.
YES!!!!!!!!!! Thank you
I want that T-shirt!
Silence of the birds - hannibal meets hitchcock
We are the priests
Of the temples
Of syrinx
even ancient critters had trouble with their cholesterol. I don't feel so bad now.
and how so does is dickinsonia similar to for instance, choanoflagelates or the rest of the phylogenetic tree? does it branch before porifera?
The best series I have seen to describe where things fit in the phylogenetic tree is one done by Aron Ra. Currently it is in it's 34 episode. It took 3 episodes to get to animals of any kind. th-cam.com/video/AXQP_R-yiuw/w-d-xo.html
Impossible to say
When you want to make a joke about the name but someone else has already made it.
Imagine being the women named Sonia watching this
Poor girl
I read about those half a billion year creatures just a few days ago on National Geographic.
Sounds like me when I’m sick
So that's where Rush got the name Syrinx (I'm assuming)
Good for Sonia!
the greatest of all the creatures, a Blob
can you tell us why the researcher give it such a misleading name, or was it found in a certain condition?
Note: "...after they split from dinosaurs" means THEY AREN'T DINOSAURS.
The Syrinx can also be found in Rush's 2112, and this is the second time in a week I've seen it mentioned.
with all these bizarre animals they keep finding sooner or later scientists are just going to discover the literal Great Race of Yith
Why does the roof of my mouth itches so much when I sneeze?
One has now found out that comb jellies got there before dickinsonia.
Makes me miss Stephen Jay Gould. :(
Is Dickinsonia related to Dickinsider?
“Moisturize me”
So the larynx don't make sounds anymore?
Yay! Ediacara biota finally gets phylogeny!
It astounds me a little that this is an actual complete english sentence, even though I'm a biologist myself. You never really appreciate how *weird* our words are until you see a bunch strung together like this, I guess
well, to be fair 2 out of those 6 words are in latin and one is derived by either latin or greek, while another is more an exclamation than an actual word.
Why does my hair hurt after I take my hat off?
Nice Kraken shirt.
Why is the Comlexly "C" logo a maze with 3 dead ends?
Stromatolites are pretty cool.
3:53 can't unsee that bat pee pee....
An episode about the Dickinsonia that ends up being about the syrinx, alright
Dickinsonia,
It was big and it was a weird fleshy oval, and it was 1.4 metres.
Dickinsonia is an animal after all.
A squishy flat animal.
And yeah "Woody tissues"...
What is going on in that T-shirt?
Its an octopus playing an NES. He also hung it to dry. That was a bad move.
on the shoulders? that's where it was hanging on a hanger
Maybe it's just an alien foot print.
0:35
You are right,1.4 meters is very big! But I don't think it should be that big, get a doctor.
Sonia can take it!
Would that mean it might be a fungus too?
can you bois make a video showcasing some of the times where evolution has reinvented the wheel
@ 0:33 seconds. That is what she said.
She must have had quite an organism
Maybe researchers gave name Dickinsonia because inspired from Janice Dickinson as she was the first supermodel. 😁
This makes me wonder, why did Metamorphosis evolve and how, and when? I'm far from an expert on the subject, but if things evolved incrementally something like Metamorphosis just doesn't make sense to me.
One thing I never understood about this channel is why they don't include standard conversions. I know they really care about educating people. So why not use terms that everyone can understand? They made a graphic saying "1.4 meters", why couldn't they put the standard conversion in brackets or something?
As a chemistry major I understand the metric system quite well but since in America we don't use the metric system for every day things, we don't instantly know the size of 1.4 meters. Same thing if they only used the standard measurements. It would leave a huge chuck of people who don't use standard measurements in the dark.
It looks like a weird leaf.
We don't know that bats crew their wings slowly... in fact if you look at bat fossils they've never not looked like bats... they just kinda appeared in the fossil recording looking like they do now. Its exceedingly difficult then to figure out where they came from. One shouldn't gloss over that fact by presuming slow change simply because standard evolutionary models assert slow change.
time is relative when it comes to paleontology and astronomy. "fast change" is dozens of generations at minimum.
i like your shirt
Later scientists find that dickinsonia is a colony of microorganisms
Dickinsonia's Syrinx
They are the first complex living thing that you know of to evolve.*
its gamer time
Dickinsonia really? Someone had a grudge against a woman named Sonia while naming this creature
worse... my guess is that the creature was named after a person called "Dickinson"... so.... yeah... wonder how he got that name...
How is that a grudge??? It just means she has the best POOSIE.
I'm half a billion years old? That's news to me.
I wonder what is Dickinsonia's relationship to other animals.
@de behr Not what I meant.
Bono has a syrinx
Well, at least Sonia satisfied
WANT. SHIRT.
I keep hearing him say Lycan. As if he is comparing it to a werewolf.
