Currently, I'm daydreaming about what might have happened if the Permian mass extinction had never happened. Since reef ecosystems never fully recovered from that event and the cretaceous had vast shallow seas perfect for reef building organisms, the oceans of this alternate timeline would have been truly spectacular!
Tbf, there's more reefs now than there ever were before. Counting the artificial ones that is. They SEEM to function quite well tbh. The world will always spin, as we go spinning into the sun eventually.
@@GreenPoint_one It's not a dinosaur, Archosaurs hadn't evolved yet in the Permian, with only basal Archosauromorphs being present. Claudiosaurus wasn't an archosauromorph and as far as i'm aware was a diapsid of some sort.
I've waited a whole month for this, expecting to see the last part discuss the Permian-Triassic Extinction. To have the P-T Extinction be a _cliffhanger_ is beyond brutal.
Sir, you discussion of the changing environments and their causes is extremely useful for casual viewers like me to better understand why the surviving and dominant species changed so much over time. Thank you!
@@rickkwitkoski1976 I AM familiar with the notion, but I did not the particular details he provides in this video about these effects during this particular geological period.
Imagine if the permian-triassic extinction never happened, wonder how these creatures would have evolved if they had the earth for the same time as the dinosaurs did.
It didn't just destroy any nearby cliff, the event would have quite literally blown up Siberia. An area the size of the United States was covered in two miles deep worth of Lava!
Even though I've loved this kind of stuff since I was young, I found several good paleo channels just before xmas. You have a great channel, informative, friendly and fun. The images you show really set the scene, from much older drawings to CG. Your mascot evolving is fun and is unique. The effort you put into this is so worth it for us viewers.
Dinosaur Discovery - more classic delivery with great visuals. Viveden: paleontology evolved - great presentation. Didno Diego - dino related. but more fun and obscure. Chimerasuchus - great presentation and delivery . Animal Origins - great presentation. Evolution soup - terrific interviews North02 - really professional long from stuff@@Takeawayjustin
i loved the tibit about the ginkgos and conifer’s. it’s so important for us to remember and appreciate that these species have been doing nearly the same thing for millions of year’s.
Awwww, just when you think you get a break. This was another great video. I adore this whole series. Thank you so much for breaking it down to manageable time periods for us.
This channel, and series in particular, has reignited my childhood love of natural history and prehistoric life forms. I couldn’t be happier to have stumbled upon your content.
This way of telling The Whole Story is genius. I hope you're speaking with Netflix right now, because this series deserves a bigger budget!! All that time, that research and the sheer hard work you must have put into these videos is clear to see.
The idea of breaking up the Permian into two parts was smart; in my own streams on geologic history I take the polar opposite stance ideologically, but I found that the mid-Permian biotic interchange is probably one of the most poorly researched events in Earth's history. Indeed, it seems like the Permian in general is incredibly enigmatic; crazy seeing how little we have to go on compared to periods before & after. The Triassic contains almost as many biological mysteries; however, I was completely unaware of how different the beginning & the end of Permian actually was. In just 15 million years the Earth almost looked like a different planet.
@@LG22475 I literally said I took the polar opposite stance ideologically, also macroevolution is a cultish farce. I'm not just denying it, I'm debunking it.
The Permian actually has to be split into THREE sections-there is an exticntion event that occurred ten million years before the Great Dying that separates the Middle and Late Permian.
Even greater difference when you realize the permian represents coastal inland areas preflood and the world afterwards was dramatically transformed in only one year, not 15 million
@@cosmictreason2242 The difference in the geology & biology of the planet is so striking in rock layers, the mid-Permian is as underrated as it is enigmatic. How the planet can change so drastically so suddenly is beyond me; nothing like it before or since except if you count the beginning of the Cambrian or beginning of life itself.
Omg thank you so much! I've actually never gotten a Super Thanks before! I will definitely be shouting you out at the end of the next video I am currently editing right now!
I know you have been sick, I hope you are better. Absolutely amazing that you are already working on new content. Your passion for this subject, is what makes your videos truly amazing, thanks again 😀
Dvinia is very cute! It's wild to think about how these stem mammals rose to dominance in the Permian, only to be forced to live in the shadows of the dinosaurs during the mesozoic for millions of years before they would rise again. Like many have said, I enjoy the presentation of the P-T Extinction as a cliffhanger. It uh, definitely warrants being given a bit of additional gravitas!
I’m too old for comfort (52) and I’ve watched tons and tons of documentaries about all sorts of animals and the early earth as long as I can remember. Your series is still teaching me tons. Amazing job
Thankyou! I loved this, it was well worth waiting for, and I learned something as well. Whilst I knew Lystrosaurus had been around before The Great Dying, I didn't know the Therocephalians had been, too. All the various paleo documentaries I've seen seemed to imply these hunters evolved during or just after, the End Permian Mass Extinction. So, thanks again for clearing this misconception of mine up for me! Oh, and seeing TimTim hurtling head over heels across the credits screen gave me a good laugh, too!
20:16 “I’m sure it’s just thunder…from under…ground?!” Cue the scene from Ice Age 1 where hot magma starts erupting from underneath the ice. Here’s a link to a video clip of the scene: th-cam.com/video/OhhflBmivAs/w-d-xo.html Let’s the infamous Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction commence.
*Launching into rousing speech about the tenacity of life near the end of the Permian.* Me: Here it comes!! Seriously though I cannot wait to see the next installment, this is my favorite educational series on TH-cam
For like a April Fools/joke vid, what if you jumped ahead to the 2020s and discussed modern humans like a animal documentary would w/ a lion or wolf in nature. And you’d just be a png of ssome stock photo of a person w/ big ol’ eyes.
Here you see a species of 🧑🏾💼black people. Their range is found to be from afrika to north america. Meanwhile in the north of eurasia many white people in different shape are to be found. The european white people is a very aggressive one that rarely tolerates other people, not even their own kind. The common european white people has traveled across the world and is to be found on all continents. In south asia
I’m so glad you mentioned the Guadalupe Mts. It’s truly one of the most beautiful landscapes in Texas, everyone here should go someday. Especially during the fall when the colors change!
I have to say I was very surprised, I never expected the late permian extinction plot twist! Jokes aside that was hilarious, keep up the great work on this amazing series
So happy to see the newest episode! I’ve been loving this series since the beginning and I can’t wait for the Mesozoic era episode(s), keep up the great work!
16:10 you used a painting by the Czech painter of the pre-historic eras, Zdeněk Burian. This makes me so happy! I have had several books with his paintings since I was a child :)
I just discovered your channel and was therefore able to binge all the videos of this series up until now. Guess I'm gonna have to wait like everyone else from now on for the next episodes to come out :/ Good work!
Love this series so much, please keep it up! You make it into a really interesting story. I have a hard time keeping up w all the technical paleontology terms usually but this series is perfect for me
It's good to see how life recovered after the last extinction and kept diversifying into such wonderful creatures. I sure hope nothing bad happens to them at the end of the Permian.
Late to the party, but reading up on it, the mid Permian extinction event is increasingly coming to be considered another mass extinction in its own right, so it really makes sense you did this split. Thank you for this video so much.
Your explanation of the theriodonts did a great job of clarifying a topic that I knew was important but have been confused by for quite some time. Thank you
First and all, thanks for these videos, i love these (and take your time doing these, don't listen to anyone who tells you to rush this series). I also have a question. Would you consider the paleogeography or paleo-ecosystems of the Permian more similar to that of today (than the Cretaceous for example) given some of the creatures seem to be more similar to those of today (than dinosaurs were). Maybe Eurasia in a way is similar to Pangaea at the time with the Himalaya mountains?
Dinosaurs still exist and are plentiful so on the surface it would seem dinosaurs were very different to todays animals but I am not sure that your statement as I understood it stands as there are animals today that are in fact dinosaurs. I think you should look into niches and how body plans tend to have trends based on niches. Like large herbivores have the barrel chests and big body.
Do keep in mind that a lot of what is shown in the video is artistic interpretations meant to especially emphasize that these are stem mammals. We have no way of knowing what they actually looked like in detail. Like Whatever also said, we still have dinosaurs today, as well as crocodiles and whales and other things that the permian at best had approximations for. The permian also didn't have flowering plants, which form the vast majority of the base for every single terrestrial ecosystem on the planet. All in all, in spite of the difference in form in the top predators and herbivores, my two cents is that the cenozoic is a lot closer to the cretacious than the permian as far as the food web is concerned. The biggest difference is probably just what's at the top.
Another great Video from your Channel. It´s full of Information, but never boring. New Stuff, i didn´t kno about and old Things, i sometimes barely can´t remember - mixed together to a whole new Package. The only thing, what i might have issues with (and i know, it´s pretty late for that after all the Episodes, who´re already out there), is the Voice of your Sidekick Timtim, which is sometimes barely to understand, so i have to guess from Time to Time, what he was saying. But: good Job on that Video.
Amazing! Just amazing. 😮 A great Video about this fascinating time period. I ❤️ this series so much. You explain this complex theme in a unique breathtaking and funny way. Awesome! And what happens now (thanks to the Siberian trap 🌋🌋🌋 ) in the next 10,000 years, we'd rather not talk about. For reasons. 😬 And now I'm looking forward to the Triassic. 🦖
Oooogh, time for the Triassic! I haven't heard much about Triassic chondrichthyes, so i look forward to seeing the next development in cartilaginous lads.
Seeing images of fully furred gorgonopsids is making me wonder: how do we know they didn't have external ears? And since cynodonts didn't seem to have external ears at this time, when did they evolve? I would love a video on this topic if it sounds interesting! I tried to research it myself but I couldn't find much. Thank you for the video!
The evolution of the ear could potentially be explored through how the skull receives sound. I am referring to what happens after the sound sensitive organ receives sound and where it goes 'til it reaches the brain.
Most scientists seem to be convinced that therian mammals were the first to evolve external ears based on their ear bones and the fact monotremes dont have them. However when it comes to the second point monotremes might have had external ears but lost them when they became aquatic, with echidnas retaining this feature. The answer of how far back that trait goes is still in the air
I showed this series to someone and they were just amazed at how long this series is before we even reach the first dinosaurs...and we still have a ways to go before we get there.
This video helped me understand therapsids a lot better! Thank you so much ❤️ If I may ask, could you state the taxanomic classification for theriodonts?
The Permian-Triassic extinction event is worthy of an episode all its own.
I like that idea. 👍
@@apexnext Agreed
Was coming here to say this
Maybe linked to the not completely confirmed, but pretty likely Wilkes crater in the Antarctica. An event, that dwarved Chixulub.
Agreeeeeed.
Currently, I'm daydreaming about what might have happened if the Permian mass extinction had never happened. Since reef ecosystems never fully recovered from that event and the cretaceous had vast shallow seas perfect for reef building organisms, the oceans of this alternate timeline would have been truly spectacular!
Imagine an alternate reality like that, i'd imagine Claudiosaurus like creatures eventually evolving into fully marine large mesosoic-esque reptiles.
@@eybaza6018 is claudiosaurus a real dinosaur or just called so bcs its an ancient reptile?
Tbf, there's more reefs now than there ever were before. Counting the artificial ones that is. They SEEM to function quite well tbh. The world will always spin, as we go spinning into the sun eventually.
Imagine a future where we turn 70% of earths surface into reefs 🙂

Environmental pressure and... empty niches to be filled. But... look up the terminology if you are unfamiliar with it.

I wish it wouldnt show this until it was ready to watch lol I'm chomping at the bit here
Me too, the history of the earth is by far my favorite
I’d say that you ended this episode on a cliffhanger, but that volcano probably destroyed any nearby cliff!
🤣👍
Or it ended on a cliff-maker, obsidian glass half full
