All smart people are bad at something 😂 if not many things lol. Doesn’t take away from your intelligence in another unrelated subject! I’m personally on the spectrum so my strengths are insanely developed, but my weaknesses are at the very opposite end of the… spectrum (pun not even intended I literally had to pause irl to groan at myself)
I love that an eleven year old kid just stumbled across the jaw bone of one of the largest animals to ever exist, that we hadn't discovered yet. She'll be riding that high for the rest of her life. Also, I LOVE the long video! All the details are so interesting! My only concern is that creating this length of video takes so much time, and from what I understand, the TH-cam algorithm is not very forgiving.
@@goldenfiberwheat238 May 2020 is around when we in the UK left our first lockdown and those who weren't at risk were being actively encouraged to go out and support local businesses (I believe the catchphrase was 'eat out to help out'), so a walk on a quiet beach where you're only gonna bump into dog walkers? Totally feasible to stop your child from having cabin fever. If you still doubt the story, feel free to look into it yourself! The fossil was found in Somerset, if that helps with narrowing your search.
so basically a long time ago a critter went "what's all that green crap growing all over my hunting grounds?" bit into it in frustration and figured the veggie lifestyle isn't too bad
I wish more people truly understood that volcanic activity from tectonic activity could just start and not decide to stop for longer than humans have even been alive. I love deep time so much
We’re oddly comfortable with being in the middle of several immensely powerful convective systems that are capable of snuffing out our entire civilization just by sneezing on us. Like, people hear Venus covers it’s entire surface with lava every few hundred million years and go “well thank goodness our planet doesn’t do that” but like, it pretty much does (just to a smaller extent)
I've just found you so ive only watched a few videos but I absolutely love how you say 'as far as we know, it's the greatest disaster ect ect '. I hate when people speak like certain things are facts & state it as such! Stuff changes all the time with more discoveries, so thank you I appreciate it lol
Speaking of hummingbirds - during Hurricane Ian I saw a hummingbird feeding on one of our bushes. The way it would accurately track the flowers as the bush was being whipped back and forth in the CAT 4 HURRICANE FORCE WINDS was one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
black guy raised by a single mom in the ghetto with no interest in anything like this but i found your channel a few months ago and watched everything. for some reason it’s just nice learning evolution and how everything happened.
if you like this stuff you might also like casual geographic, he’s got a bit of a similar vibe to lindsay & i think they’ve done a collab before! both of them are also on tiktok with shortform content as well 🫡 he mostly does living animals though iirc
thanks so much for making these. my autistic inner child who wanted to be a paleontologist is having a great time :) anyone else weirdly nostalgic for these times we can never access? i just want to be an observer and see their lives and the environment
I'm autistic too and evolution and mass extinctions are my special interest. I'm literally writing a book where the characters are trying to survive after crossing into an alternate reality that is still in the Carboniferous except with magic. The next one will be in the Pleistocene, and the third in the Cretaceous. Imagine Pterosaurs that wield lightning magic and Tyrannosaurs that can become invisible
@@Yarnofthewild well, it all started when I saw that one meme where someone said they wanted to dm a dnd game where they were also playing all the player characters. Then realized they were talking about writing a book. I suddenly realized that this is the exact method I need to finally write all the books I've wanted to write for decades. I even use dice to roll up encounters. Lol
When I heard the name "Lisowicia" I immiedietly thought about the fact that the "ci" at the end is pronounced like a Polish "ci" and then 10 seconds after I was shown why. So weird to think that here where I live there once were creatures like that walking the same ground as me today. This is one of the reasons why I love paleontology so much.
One of my favorite “internet stories” was from a guy studying zoology, whose ornithologist advisor had taken some students out to dinner. In the middle of dinner, the professor’s phone rings. He answers and hears a man shouting over what sounds like a noisy bar. Guy: “Hello, is this the bird professor??” Prof.: “Uh, yes?” Guy: “Do hummingbirds have feet??” Prof.: “Uh, yes, hummingbirds have feet.” [Sounds of bar erupting in cheers over phone]
@@julianbell9161 there was almost certainly some kind of drunken argument over whether or not hummingbirds had feet, that this call was intended to resolve. If the bar cheered, it was seemingly loud enough that everybody was invested in the outcome, if nothing else so that the people arguing could stfu and go back to their drinks lol
We honestly just need a whole documentary focused on the Triassic. Most documentaries about Mesozoic life either only have one episode/segment focused on the Triassic ( Walking with Dinosaurs, When Dinosaurs Roamed America, Etc.) or no episodes focused on it ( Prehistoric Planet, Planet Dinosaur, etc). It deserves way more representation.
It’s so overlooked! I also had the feeling growing up it was sort of the dawn of/had pseudo dinosaurs. It’s much more interesting (and a far more massive amount of time on earth) than it gets credit for
Yooo that behind the scenes bit you gave in the middle was brutal! ❤ As someone w/ ADHD I've made similar mistakes a number of times, it always feels like a kick in the pants though so my heart goes out to ya! Really awesome video, thanks for re-recording those sections!
For me, it was some work watching this, and I had to rewatch sections where I could not keep up. But I enjoyed this presentation thoroughly, and i get so exited for the opportunity for nerding out I see ahead for my 6 and 8 year old daughters. This explosion of brilliant young Americans with fantastic presentation skill, authentic language and a heap of reading in the bank is one of my favourite phenomena to observe on my TH-cam ride. Thanks! Where I come from, one of the ways we would describe a sudden mood swing to a pissed-off mood as "the hat became too tight". Your head is perfect size, some hats are too small
I am still so thrilled to hear a young'un that is so excited about science. We need teachers like you and every teacher needs students like you. You always brighten my day.
I've always been fascinated by prehistoric creatures and events (even while suffering from Thalassaphobia and Carchariaphobia) but your insights, mannerisms and delivery add so much more interest! Thank you for making such amazing content! I loved the length of this video.
Pterosaurs are just heinous and I love them so much. They look so odd and like long pelicans, and then you find out how freaking big they were. Absolutely terrifying. 11/10. Would never want to meet one in real life.
I bet most of them would be to small to harm humans or have a fish eating diet since flying animals are farely limited when it comes to the size of their prey. Wouldnt want to inhabit the same islands as Hatzegopteryx though...
@@feurigessiegelstuck233 Pterosaurs were much larger on average than birds, thanks to their wing anatomy. Quite a few of them would've been capable of inflicting serious injuries, even though we wouldn't be within their prey range. So you're still right in stating that none are so terrifying as azhdarchids.
@@armata_strigoi_0 averaging size of an entire group of extinct animals is pretty difficult since we have to keep in mind that we probably have a preservation bias towards larger species in the fossil records, since the remains are less fragile. But its true that there were many species far bigger than modern birds.
@@feurigessiegelstuck233 are there any specific techniques or approaches that can help balance the representation of both large and small species in the fossil record??
As a proto mammal fan and Permian junky... all i can say is, Booooooo... the Mammals will rise again! Dinos are like Ninjas and Samurai... cool for kids and weeaboos, until you get old enough and realize just how much cooler knights were.
The fact that the ichthyosaurus survived two mass extinctions, but died to one "not as bad" as the previous... really makes me think of like stats, leaderboards, and achievements. I wonder which species has survived the most mass extinctions but still doesn't exist today, etc.
I imagine part of their downfall in the not as bad one was due to competition. When your build is the best, it's hard to knock you out completely. But the average Joe's have a much easier time going kaput. Trilobites for instance had a build that by today's standards would just be okay. But in those early days when life was just starting it was insanely good. So when mass extinctions came the competition fell before they did. But when the rest of life caught up the trilobites were just as vulnerable as anyone else and couldn't just pick up the pieces when everyone else had died. I assume it'd be the same story for the icthyosaurus.
I’m so happy you made a part two. Please make part 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc. also thanks cause now I have air plants too and they are very happy and adorable ❤️
One of the most fascinating things I’ve read is in a book called “the rise and fall of the dinosaurs” and it talked about how Triassic dinosaurs were actually getting outcompeted by crocodile-relatives. The croc-likes diversified when the dinosaurs didn’t, and the instability brought by the volcanic events meant that it was the ecologically specified croc-likes that bit the dust instead.
Over time the pseudo crocs and crocodilians proper kept coming b ack and during the age of mega mammals a few of them were BIG enough to be terrifying. Also giant toothed birds too. Nature is badass.
It occurs to me that the apparent extinction & reappearance of corals might have been an effect of shallow-water corals dying off & deep-water corals (which wouldn't have as much of a presence in the fossil record) expanding into the vacated niches.
Yeah gaps like that usually get filled in eventually we just have to figure out where the location was that they were evolving and find the fossils to match. You'd think that we wouldn't be able to find the fossils for lots of gaps but it surprising how many we've been able to fill in as time goes on and we discover new deposits. I feel like over the last 3 years multiple fossil gaps have gotten filled in.
It could also just be that corals were sufficiently depleted and/or regional that we just don't have any fossils from that time. The fossil record is always spotty at best, so if there was only a small remaining population it would be extremely plausible that we didn't end up with any fossilized specimens (yet!)
These videos are so consistently great! Having the coolest guests is so refreshing - I love the feeling of community this gives! A very consistent tone - very informative, lots of good humor, one of the best catchphrases on the internet And I just love how a very big and relevant part of the explanation about any creature is the emotional response! It may not be "Scientifically" relevant, but educationally it's extremely valuable! Having an emotional response really helps remember things and have fun while learning about them! I love every bit of this!
Anyone else like me , growing up I loved dinosaurs and when I was a preteen and jurassic park came out it was an epic time to be alive. BUT somewhere along the way i misunderstood when people said dinorsaurs lived for millions of years, I literally thought some dinosaurs lived for over a million years lifespan lmao.
Entomologist here! To add to the wasp bit - although we’ve discovered more species of beetle than anything else, it seems that almost every species of insect has their own specialist species of parasitoid wasp (plus some for arachnids etc). So there should be more species of wasp than any other animal species, partly because every species of beetle should have its own parasitoid. And some parasitoids parasitise other parasitoid wasps so… I do love wasps though, they’re often hated but they’re really important species. They’re incredibly effective pest control for crops and I find them cute. I’d recommend checking out Endless Forms by Serian Sumner for the wasp love!
I too love wasps and bees etc. Each species thumps me with a different amount of force. Red and black paper wasps are like , oh hell nah this is my nest beeeech. Yellow jackets are like , haaayyyyyy…hayyyyyyyyvho away man. Giant black hornets are like “imma flutter on you dawg! Now leave. Bumble bees are chunky monkeys .
Some time ago I heard an entomologist opine that in fact, contrary to longstanding belief, hymenoptera probably has the most species after all, but that this take hasn't (yet?) achieved widespread acceptance. Is it catching on? Could it be true? (I note that in the Anglosphere, WASPs _are_ accustomed to being in the majority.)
Waspspspsps chose violence during the Triassic & doubled down on that choice IMMEDIATELY. We may not know why waspspsps chose to hate all life, but you've gotta respect the passion with which they hate it. They're animals that lack most emotion, but you somehow still KNOW they're capable of feeling hate. 😂❤
Really appreciate you covering plants, insects and the wider ecology of the period it's not something most channels cover all that deeply as the tetrapods are so weird they get a lot of focus Keep the series going and great to see you collabing with Steve!
I really love your deadpan delivery. It makes the bits of emotion that DO break through on your face both funny and endearing. The staccato monotone is also great for keeping my brain listening while I do other stuff.
NO WAY PALEO ANALYSIS my other world history series that i've been continually watching over and over waiting for the new ones. this really is a treat :')
@@LindsayNikoleare you into speculative evolution? I think you should do a speculative evolution project! I personally want to live on an alternate earth where both synapsids and sauropsids are dominant, basically a perfectly balanced world.
love the longer videos, especially for this series! it really helps give continuity to this long historical story, which helps the information stick in my brain better. also I this history of life that we know of series is one of my current favorites to just put on like a podcast when I want something to play continuously for a while. I know long videos are more work, but I really appreciate it and am happy to wait longer for them &/or have shorter easier vids in between.
This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam. The way you talk is just so engaging, plus discussing my favorite topics?? You’re so cool. Thank you for making these videos
Lindsay I'm a literature student with absolutely no brain for sciences but I love zoology and biology to the extent I can comprehend. These videos make me wish I tried going for this field of study. So interesting! Thank you for making it accessible to everyone, and free. I have binge watched the entire series and I definitely prefer the longer format. It brightened my week. Thank you!
I was at the Tyrrell Dinosaur Museum last week and I was thinking of your videos almost the entire time (mostly because I found that really well preserved fossil that you included in your cool fossils video, which was what actually introduced me to that fossil in the first place). Great job with this one, Lindsay!
I will listen to you describe the history of anything that has ever existed, from eras of time on earth, to varying types of some animal species. I listen to your videos while at work - and I really appreciate your dedication and passion! Please never stop making long form videos!
I always love the collaborations in this series. sometimes I'm familiar with the guests and it's really fun to see them, sometimes I get to discover someone new!
I watch a lot of science videos on a few different platforms covering many subjects. Some by professionals, some by amateurs. I really appreciate that you take the time to thoroughly research a subject before you post a video. I also appreciate that, should the subject require it, you're willing to make a longer video. On top of that, your delivery is always engaging. These things add up to an exceptionally talented teacher, in my opinion one of the very best TH-cam has to offer.
Paleo Analysis’ History Of The Earth series is hands down my favourite series of TH-cam videos ever. Those videos are my comfort content. Tbh imma pour my heart out rq I got into evolution a couple years ago and while browsing content I discovered that series, and the last video uploaded had been the Ordivician. I was there for that drop of every video since and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ would drop whatever I’m doing to go watch the newest entry the second the I got the notif that it was uploaded. I know those videos line for line, fact for fact, and I quote them constantly. It’s like my go-to echolalia and whenever I watch it I’ll just repeat the lines as he says them. Whenever people want to listen to me infodump I’ll literally just ramble out everything I’ve learned from his videos like it’s an unskippable dialogue option. Paleo’s videos have always been what I show new people then they ask about my interests, and whenever I’m sad I put on EHotE in order. TW: SUICIDE - I’ve put on these videos whenever I’m crying or whenever I’m like in the brink of SH and need a distraction. It’s not on him to personally prop up my mental health but I can’t express how much his series hasn’t just changed my life but saved it. Maybe it’s dumb and parasocial of me but I have such an outpouring of love for his content, and I can’t express how big the smile on my face was when you shouted him out, Lindsay. Thank you
First of all, I wanted to reach out and say hello and I wanted to say how much your words have moved me. I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who care about you. I have struggled with depression a lot myself and so I know what many of those feelings are like. Never think that reaching out is wrong or problematic. When I started the History of the Earth series, I never imagined that it would turn into what it is today. I started it before I even got monetized and I actually was struggling to come up with an idea for a video. (That feels like it was literally billions of years ago now.) I never imagined then that it would become the reason why my channel would take off. And now here I am guesting on Lindsay's channel where I would see a comment from a person who I would have never known how much my work has impacted their life otherwise. I have been struggling too, which is why my content has slowed down. But Lindsay is one of the people who has helped pull me out of this low place and light a fire under my ass to get back into it. But I want you to know that you have played a part as well... You know what? The next video I have coming out is something I have planned for Shark Week. (It's coming out in 7 hours when I'm writing this) But after that, the next videos gonna be the next History of the Earth: Late Triassic... And this one's for you! ✊️👀❤️
@@PaleoAnalysis stop it I’m gonna cry 😭😭 we’ve interacted on Twitter once or twice so maybe I’ll be more active on there too because of this. We both grew up in Florida too and I think that’s why your interest in what you create resonates with me, cuz I kinda know how you got there
I love your short form content but I survive off of your longer videos. I’ve watched your long compilation video of the first parts of this series so many times I have parts memorised. I even use it to fall asleep to bc I find it comforting. In my opinion, unless you decide you’re not a fan of making long form content, I’d love to see more of it! 💕🤗
I am so happy to see this collab, especially since PaleoAnalysis was the one who recommended your channel to me! So, thank you Lindsay and PaleoAnalysis for another wonderfully informative and entertaining video!! 😄
I wanna thank you so freaking much for putting these videos out into the world because they are an absolute joy to watch and are an amazing starting point to delving into a subject that I know practically nothing about. Literally whole new worlds are opening up to me and I am so excited about it! This kind of stuff has always been interesting to me, but I honestly shied away from it cause of a lack of proper knowledge about natural sciences. I had an iffy childhood so I never really was around or mentally present to learn about this kind of stuff at school. Luckily I had a natural affinity to human social structure related subjects l coasted through school pretty well anyway and recently graduated MA from Sociology and Philosophy which is still insane to me considering my past. Anyway, thanks to Uni I've really become comfortable with being ignorant and dumb about stuff in the beginning instead of shying away from things that make me insecure and I'm entertaining my interest in these kinds of sciences/knowledge for the first time! This series is so freaking instrumental to this journey, I am so stoked to learn about the deep history of our planet and you are such an engaging presenter, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Your channel is absolutely amazing. It's like you were put on this earth at the right time to teach people about your passion. Thank you! I really enjoy these videos!
It feel weird being this early but I LOVE your channel you bring my interest in animals and history and combine it with a bit of humor and I just think you’re the greatest history channel! (First like :O)
These videos are genuinely amazing you're so good at being funny while also being extremely informative and this has quickly become one of my favorite channels
This is by far the most interesting evolution history channel THAT I KNOW OF! Video format and length is spot on. But if an era requires shorter or longer episodes, then let that be the driving factor. Don't try to stretch or shorten the available material to fit a certain format.
nice video and the pic shown at 44:57 was a blast from the past, one of my dinosaur books as a kid had that pic in it, too and I was always hoping that one day in the 90s, some documentary might show that in motion
I know it's a lot of work, but I do really appreciate these long-form videos; the ability to touch on a much larger subject without having to skip as much is really nice to see, and I think it does a subject like "the history of this many-million year period across the whole Earth" better justice. Also, for what it's worth, I had never even had an inkling that your head was too big or anything of the sort until you mentioned it. You rock that hat well and you've got more style and confidence than I could ever dream of. Tell those insecurities to shut the hell up and just wear what you like.
I love listening to Lindsay's videos at work, and comparing these animals to the 3 8x4 foot benches I work on. Knowing some proto crocodilians would reach halfway down the next guy's bench is horrifying
00:06:06 This direct ancestor of South Park's Jakovasaur..., I had just taken a gulp of water from my bottle and literally sprayed my bed while bursting into laughter! 🤣#Hilarious
That was absolutely fabulous Lindsay. Thanks for putting in all that time for what may have been your best video yet. I bookmarked it to watch again in the future. Keep on rockin'.
What a fantastic channel you've gone and built. Absolutely love your vibe and your approach to the topics. Loving the collabs too. Keep it the fuck up kid, you have something completely unique, you're captivating, entertaining as hell, effervescenctly smart and you're doing legitimately important work. Thank you!
22:52 oh my, I'm polish and I was like "hold up isn't that polish spelling?" In polish you'd pronounce the village's name (Lisowice) something like "lee-so-vee-sae", so the animal (Lisowicia Bojani) is like "Lee-so-vee-cha Bo-ya-ni". edit: If any of you really care, you can look up the pronunciation, I struggled to figure out the right spelling since it's NOT REALLY cha at the end but whatever
Long videos are great! We all watch at our own pace, pausing to let the info sink in, you haven't lost me yet to information overload, keep up the great work!
@@LindsayNikole My entire life, I've been explaining that concept to people in discussions about fossils. The fact that we can only know a tiny fraction of what has happened due to highly unlikely events perfectly preserving evidence of something for us to later find, *and* us actually finding that evidence. Whenever someone talks about the largest *anything*, "that we know of" is usually what I come back with, pointing out the incredible unlikelihood of an event that can preserve something gigantic (Argentina must've been one incredibly tough place back in the day for this reason). That's my long way of saying "Thank you!" for your frequent emphasis on "that we know of". You're popularizing something that should trigger people to think, rather than memorize, and I love it!
I love your longer form content, the way you have your sections makes it easy to stop and continue if I don’t have time to or whatever to watch the whole thing at once
28:58 I remember in primary school there were people that brought a tuatara to our school to teach us about them. And i was so confused when they tried to show us their third eye because i couldn't see it for tje life of me. It also felt really wrinkly, almost like granny skin but if she was in construction for 50 years. But idk, i have bad memory and maybe it was elderly or something

Prof.: “Uh, yes?”
Guy: “Do hummingbirds have feet??”
Prof.: “Uh, yes, hummingbirds have feet.”
[Sounds of bar erupting in cheers over phone]
I don’t get the joke. Why exactly would people be cheering for this?
@@julianbell9161 there was almost certainly some kind of drunken argument over whether or not hummingbirds had feet, that this call was intended to resolve. If the bar cheered, it was seemingly loud enough that everybody was invested in the outcome, if nothing else so that the people arguing could stfu and go back to their drinks lol
@@julianbell9161 the joke is the fact everyone in the bar is drunk enough to find this news groundbreaking
@@GongoozlerThe and that is why I never get drunk.

I saw a robin win a fight with a squirrel, so you could say he's pretty cool
Robin red breast in a cage puts all squirrels in an arm bar.
Squirrels were cute until one of the ones that hangs out around my condo hissed at me.
Yea, but I´m pretty sure he got help from Batman. So...
The dinosaurs are fighting back
Robins live for violence. If they were just a little bit bigger (say, pigeon sized) we would all live in fear. And probably underground.
We honestly just need a whole documentary focused on the Triassic. Most documentaries about Mesozoic life either only have one episode/segment focused on the Triassic ( Walking with Dinosaurs, When Dinosaurs Roamed America, Etc.) or no episodes focused on it ( Prehistoric Planet, Planet Dinosaur, etc). It deserves way more representation.
It’s so overlooked! I also had the feeling growing up it was sort of the dawn of/had pseudo dinosaurs. It’s much more interesting (and a far more massive amount of time on earth) than it gets credit for
Yooo that behind the scenes bit you gave in the middle was brutal! ❤ As someone w/ ADHD I've made similar mistakes a number of times, it always feels like a kick in the pants though so my heart goes out to ya! Really awesome video, thanks for re-recording those sections!
For me, it was some work watching this, and I had to rewatch sections where I could not keep up. But I enjoyed this presentation thoroughly, and i get so exited for the opportunity for nerding out I see ahead for my 6 and 8 year old daughters. This explosion of brilliant young Americans with fantastic presentation skill, authentic language and a heap of reading in the bank is one of my favourite phenomena to observe on my TH-cam ride. Thanks!
Where I come from, one of the ways we would describe a sudden mood swing to a pissed-off mood as "the hat became too tight". Your head is perfect size, some hats are too small
I am still so thrilled to hear a young'un that is so excited about science. We need teachers like you and every teacher needs students like you.
You always brighten my day.
IIRC, Lindsay was a 3rd grade teacher before she started her youtube channel. 😀 She reaches a lot more people this way.
I've actually gotten really interested in this topic because of your videos, love it!
🤗
Sameeeee
Love the longer format, it's perfect to listen to while I'm making dinner and getting the dishes done
Agreed!
how you gonna listen with the water running
I love you for the simple fact you used Spore music. A rush of nostalgia hit with the fantastic Dino knowledge. Fuck yeah.
I've always been fascinated by prehistoric creatures and events (even while suffering from Thalassaphobia and Carchariaphobia) but your insights, mannerisms and delivery add so much more interest! Thank you for making such amazing content! I loved the length of this video.
Pterosaurs are just heinous and I love them so much. They look so odd and like long pelicans, and then you find out how freaking big they were. Absolutely terrifying. 11/10. Would never want to meet one in real life.
I bet most of them would be to small to harm humans or have a fish eating diet since flying animals are farely limited when it comes to the size of their prey. Wouldnt want to inhabit the same islands as Hatzegopteryx though...
@@feurigessiegelstuck233 Pterosaurs were much larger on average than birds, thanks to their wing anatomy. Quite a few of them would've been capable of inflicting serious injuries, even though we wouldn't be within their prey range. So you're still right in stating that none are so terrifying as azhdarchids.
@@armata_strigoi_0 averaging size of an entire group of extinct animals is pretty difficult since we have to keep in mind that we probably have a preservation bias towards larger species in the fossil records, since the remains are less fragile. But its true that there were many species far bigger than modern birds.
Someone once pointed out that Azdarchids were about as tall as modern giraffes and the idea of meat eating flying giraffes is just terrifying.
@@feurigessiegelstuck233 are there any specific techniques or approaches that can help balance the representation of both large and small species in the fossil record??
**sees a dinosaur time period** WOOO YEAH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUTTT
Edit: Big number
Eh not quite.
As a proto mammal fan and Permian junky... all i can say is, Booooooo... the Mammals will rise again!
Dinos are like Ninjas and Samurai... cool for kids and weeaboos, until you get old enough and realize just how much cooler knights were.
@@NZBigfooti present to you Argentinosaurus
barely dino
@@NZBigfoot The most white elitist history asshole I have ever had the unfortunate experience of knowing exists
The fact that the ichthyosaurus survived two mass extinctions, but died to one "not as bad" as the previous...
really makes me think of like stats, leaderboards, and achievements. I wonder which species has survived the most mass extinctions but still doesn't exist today, etc.
Trilobites, definitely
I imagine part of their downfall in the not as bad one was due to competition.
When your build is the best, it's hard to knock you out completely. But the average Joe's have a much easier time going kaput.
Trilobites for instance had a build that by today's standards would just be okay. But in those early days when life was just starting it was insanely good. So when mass extinctions came the competition fell before they did.
But when the rest of life caught up the trilobites were just as vulnerable as anyone else and couldn't just pick up the pieces when everyone else had died.
I assume it'd be the same story for the icthyosaurus.
I also came here to say Trilobites.
@@bolbyballinger so basically you're saying that what killed the trilobites was power creep
@@gummieghoulExactly
Nature popped a tab in the Late Permian and then went "I don't feel anything" so she popped another and that's how we got the Triassic.
I’m so happy you made a part two. Please make part 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc. also thanks cause now I have air plants too and they are very happy and adorable ❤️
One of the most fascinating things I’ve read is in a book called “the rise and fall of the dinosaurs” and it talked about how Triassic dinosaurs were actually getting outcompeted by crocodile-relatives. The croc-likes diversified when the dinosaurs didn’t, and the instability brought by the volcanic events meant that it was the ecologically specified croc-likes that bit the dust instead.
Over time the pseudo crocs and crocodilians proper kept coming b ack and during the age of mega mammals a few of them were BIG enough to be terrifying. Also giant toothed birds too. Nature is badass.
Specialization is an excellent survival strategy until it suddenly isn't.
It occurs to me that the apparent extinction & reappearance of corals might have been an effect of shallow-water corals dying off & deep-water corals (which wouldn't have as much of a presence in the fossil record) expanding into the vacated niches.
There's deep water coral? That's crazy
@@gwendalynnwatkins1296yeah, glass coral can live at several kilometres deep.
Yeah gaps like that usually get filled in eventually we just have to figure out where the location was that they were evolving and find the fossils to match. You'd think that we wouldn't be able to find the fossils for lots of gaps but it surprising how many we've been able to fill in as time goes on and we discover new deposits. I feel like over the last 3 years multiple fossil gaps have gotten filled in.
It could also just be that corals were sufficiently depleted and/or regional that we just don't have any fossils from that time. The fossil record is always spotty at best, so if there was only a small remaining population it would be extremely plausible that we didn't end up with any fossilized specimens (yet!)
There are so many great sound bites. "This. On land. All of the time. I don't like it." and "Send it out. Send it out. Send it out." had me cackling.
These videos are so consistently great!
Having the coolest guests is so refreshing - I love the feeling of community this gives!
A very consistent tone - very informative, lots of good humor, one of the best catchphrases on the internet
And I just love how a very big and relevant part of the explanation about any creature is the emotional response! It may not be "Scientifically" relevant, but educationally it's extremely valuable! Having an emotional response really helps remember things and have fun while learning about them!
I love every bit of this!
Anyone else like me , growing up I loved dinosaurs and when I was a preteen and jurassic park came out it was an epic time to be alive. BUT somewhere along the way i misunderstood when people said dinorsaurs lived for millions of years, I literally thought some dinosaurs lived for over a million years lifespan lmao.
A Mourning Dove nested on my balcony and hatched two little dovelettes recently... Love your channel btw!
aww, another generation of dinosaurs 🥰
That's when you pull out the double barrel
I'm a geologist and I just discovered your channel - and I LOVE it! Thank you for your much loved hard work to educate the public.
Entomologist here! To add to the wasp bit - although we’ve discovered more species of beetle than anything else, it seems that almost every species of insect has their own specialist species of parasitoid wasp (plus some for arachnids etc). So there should be more species of wasp than any other animal species, partly because every species of beetle should have its own parasitoid. And some parasitoids parasitise other parasitoid wasps so…
I do love wasps though, they’re often hated but they’re really important species. They’re incredibly effective pest control for crops and I find them cute. I’d recommend checking out Endless Forms by Serian Sumner for the wasp love!
Wasps are so cool!!! I love their different colors and personalities they’re amazing
One place I used to work I befriended the wasps by feeding them chicken bones and pieces of meat at lunch... I love those little critters
I too love wasps and bees etc. Each species thumps me with a different amount of force. Red and black paper wasps are like , oh hell nah this is my nest beeeech.
Yellow jackets are like , haaayyyyyy…hayyyyyyyyvho away man.
Giant black hornets are like “imma flutter on you dawg! Now leave.
Bumble bees are chunky monkeys .
@@mongrelthesnowchimp7676they are so cool!
Some time ago I heard an entomologist opine that in fact, contrary to longstanding belief, hymenoptera probably has the most species after all, but that this take hasn't (yet?) achieved widespread acceptance. Is it catching on? Could it be true?
(I note that in the Anglosphere, WASPs _are_ accustomed to being in the majority.)
Waspspspsps chose violence during the Triassic & doubled down on that choice IMMEDIATELY. We may not know why waspspsps chose to hate all life, but you've gotta respect the passion with which they hate it. They're animals that lack most emotion, but you somehow still KNOW they're capable of feeling hate. 😂❤
Really appreciate you covering plants, insects and the wider ecology of the period it's not something most channels cover all that deeply as the tetrapods are so weird they get a lot of focus
Keep the series going and great to see you collabing with Steve!
I really love your deadpan delivery. It makes the bits of emotion that DO break through on your face both funny and endearing. The staccato monotone is also great for keeping my brain listening while I do other stuff.

@@LindsayNikoleare you into speculative evolution? I think you should do a speculative evolution project! I personally want to live on an alternate earth where both synapsids and sauropsids are dominant, basically a perfectly balanced world.
love the longer videos, especially for this series! it really helps give continuity to this long historical story, which helps the information stick in my brain better. also I this history of life that we know of series is one of my current favorites to just put on like a podcast when I want something to play continuously for a while. I know long videos are more work, but I really appreciate it and am happy to wait longer for them &/or have shorter easier vids in between.
Bees: Wasps that decided to be chill.
Ants: Wasps that decided to make flight a privilege for nobility.
This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam. The way you talk is just so engaging, plus discussing my favorite topics?? You’re so cool. Thank you for making these videos
IVE SEEN COOL BIRDS. They weren’t rare they were just the common bush sparrow but they stole my morning porridge. We made friends.
you're a fool. they're just using you for your porridge.
This is one of the most informative and one of my favorite Triassic videos, that I know of. Great vid.
I doubt you'll see this and this is completely unrelated to the video, but you made my childhood, I watched your clay videos a long time ago.
@@aagsmd Yeah, you're not the only one. Fred is literally the reason that got me into paleoart and natural history as a kid
I absolutely love learning stuff like this; I’m so happy I found this account.
I’ve just finished binging the entire series and I can’t wait for more!
Lindsay I'm a literature student with absolutely no brain for sciences but I love zoology and biology to the extent I can comprehend. These videos make me wish I tried going for this field of study. So interesting! Thank you for making it accessible to everyone, and free. I have binge watched the entire series and I definitely prefer the longer format. It brightened my week.
Thank you!
I was at the Tyrrell Dinosaur Museum last week and I was thinking of your videos almost the entire time (mostly because I found that really well preserved fossil that you included in your cool fossils video, which was what actually introduced me to that fossil in the first place). Great job with this one, Lindsay!
I will listen to you describe the history of anything that has ever existed, from eras of time on earth, to varying types of some animal species. I listen to your videos while at work - and I really appreciate your dedication and passion! Please never stop making long form videos!
I always love the collaborations in this series. sometimes I'm familiar with the guests and it's really fun to see them, sometimes I get to discover someone new!
If you think a hummingbird sitting down is cool, imagine having a tree in your backyard that hosts at least 3 hummingbird nests
Please keep making LONG videos, I really love listening to this on long rides or during work! The longer the better!
I watch a lot of science videos on a few different platforms covering many subjects. Some by professionals, some by amateurs. I really appreciate that you take the time to thoroughly research a subject before you post a video. I also appreciate that, should the subject require it, you're willing to make a longer video. On top of that, your delivery is always engaging. These things add up to an exceptionally talented teacher, in my opinion one of the very best TH-cam has to offer.
I clicked so damn quick, had me thinking you done gave up on us, the TH-cam tribe 😩 😂
never
33:31 I feel your pain Lindsay... At least you can find hats that fit on your head! 👀
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Outstanding presentation, loved it. You are the Queen of palaeontology. Bravo! 👏🏼
A Erythrosuchus with a bucket hat on is basically a walking umbrella with that big ass head.

I live for Tim Tim! Watching him evolve from a cyanobcteria to a mammal-adjacent critter was so funny. PaleoAnalysis is awesome!
YREAHHHHHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO FOR LIKE FOREVERRRRRR
this was a tough one!
No one feeds my brain like you do, Stellar video! No dry spots, very real emotion and real information. Congratulations on your blooming air plant!
Paleo Analysis’ History Of The Earth series is hands down my favourite series of TH-cam videos ever. Those videos are my comfort content. Tbh imma pour my heart out rq
I got into evolution a couple years ago and while browsing content I discovered that series, and the last video uploaded had been the Ordivician. I was there for that drop of every video since and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ would drop whatever I’m doing to go watch the newest entry the second the I got the notif that it was uploaded.
I know those videos line for line, fact for fact, and I quote them constantly. It’s like my go-to echolalia and whenever I watch it I’ll just repeat the lines as he says them. Whenever people want to listen to me infodump I’ll literally just ramble out everything I’ve learned from his videos like it’s an unskippable dialogue option.
Paleo’s videos have always been what I show new people then they ask about my interests, and whenever I’m sad I put on EHotE in order.
TW: SUICIDE - I’ve put on these videos whenever I’m crying or whenever I’m like in the brink of SH and need a distraction. It’s not on him to personally prop up my mental health but I can’t express how much his series hasn’t just changed my life but saved it.
Maybe it’s dumb and parasocial of me but I have such an outpouring of love for his content, and I can’t express how big the smile on my face was when you shouted him out, Lindsay.
Thank you
First of all, I wanted to reach out and say hello and I wanted to say how much your words have moved me. I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who care about you. I have struggled with depression a lot myself and so I know what many of those feelings are like. Never think that reaching out is wrong or problematic.
When I started the History of the Earth series, I never imagined that it would turn into what it is today. I started it before I even got monetized and I actually was struggling to come up with an idea for a video. (That feels like it was literally billions of years ago now.) I never imagined then that it would become the reason why my channel would take off. And now here I am guesting on Lindsay's channel where I would see a comment from a person who I would have never known how much my work has impacted their life otherwise.
I have been struggling too, which is why my content has slowed down. But Lindsay is one of the people who has helped pull me out of this low place and light a fire under my ass to get back into it. But I want you to know that you have played a part as well...
You know what? The next video I have coming out is something I have planned for Shark Week. (It's coming out in 7 hours when I'm writing this) But after that, the next videos gonna be the next History of the Earth: Late Triassic... And this one's for you! ✊️👀❤️
@@PaleoAnalysis stop it I’m gonna cry 😭😭 we’ve interacted on Twitter once or twice so maybe I’ll be more active on there too because of this. We both grew up in Florida too and I think that’s why your interest in what you create resonates with me, cuz I kinda know how you got there
I love your short form content but I survive off of your longer videos. I’ve watched your long compilation video of the first parts of this series so many times I have parts memorised. I even use it to fall asleep to bc I find it comforting. In my opinion, unless you decide you’re not a fan of making long form content, I’d love to see more of it! 💕🤗
Imaging prehistoric megafuna walking around today is an exciting and terrifying thought.
Lindsay : *Holds up sign* can you see that?
Me: the flux capacitor? Sure can!
3:15 AH HELL YEAH!!! The crossover we needed!
I love the long form videos, the more info I can shove into my brain in a video the better. This one was fantastic
I am so happy to see this collab, especially since PaleoAnalysis was the one who recommended your channel to me! So, thank you Lindsay and PaleoAnalysis for another wonderfully informative and entertaining video!! 😄

Me too!!
Same!!! ❤❤❤❤
Same, it was a heck of a video to wake up to
@@deepdrag8131 big same
I wanna thank you so freaking much for putting these videos out into the world because they are an absolute joy to watch and are an amazing starting point to delving into a subject that I know practically nothing about. Literally whole new worlds are opening up to me and I am so excited about it!
This kind of stuff has always been interesting to me, but I honestly shied away from it cause of a lack of proper knowledge about natural sciences. I had an iffy childhood so I never really was around or mentally present to learn about this kind of stuff at school. Luckily I had a natural affinity to human social structure related subjects l coasted through school pretty well anyway and recently graduated MA from Sociology and Philosophy which is still insane to me considering my past.
Anyway, thanks to Uni I've really become comfortable with being ignorant and dumb about stuff in the beginning instead of shying away from things that make me insecure and I'm entertaining my interest in these kinds of sciences/knowledge for the first time! This series is so freaking instrumental to this journey, I am so stoked to learn about the deep history of our planet and you are such an engaging presenter, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Your channel is absolutely amazing. It's like you were put on this earth at the right time to teach people about your passion. Thank you! I really enjoy these videos!
I do just love a long info dump on a special interest, and you're great at making this stuff even more fun to me. Thanks Lindsay!
DINOSAURS 🦕. My favorite Earth era
It feel weird being this early but I LOVE your channel you bring my interest in animals and history and combine it with a bit of humor and I just think you’re the greatest history channel! (First like :O)
These videos are genuinely amazing you're so good at being funny while also being extremely informative and this has quickly become one of my favorite channels
Lindsay, I absolutely love your "cool science teacher" vibes. Keep it up
Heck yeah!! A lil bit o Lindsay just as I got to bed.
I just binge watched the rest of the series this week, I am so excited for this! ❤
This is by far the most interesting evolution history channel THAT I KNOW OF!
Video format and length is spot on. But if an era requires shorter or longer episodes, then let that be the driving factor. Don't try to stretch or shorten the available material to fit a certain format.
nice video and the pic shown at 44:57 was a blast from the past, one of my dinosaur books as a kid had that pic in it, too and I was always hoping that one day in the 90s, some documentary might show that in motion
I know it's a lot of work, but I do really appreciate these long-form videos; the ability to touch on a much larger subject without having to skip as much is really nice to see, and I think it does a subject like "the history of this many-million year period across the whole Earth" better justice.
Also, for what it's worth, I had never even had an inkling that your head was too big or anything of the sort until you mentioned it. You rock that hat well and you've got more style and confidence than I could ever dream of. Tell those insecurities to shut the hell up and just wear what you like.
I love listening to Lindsay's videos at work, and comparing these animals to the 3 8x4 foot benches I work on. Knowing some proto crocodilians would reach halfway down the next guy's bench is horrifying
00:06:06 This direct ancestor of South Park's Jakovasaur..., I had just taken a gulp of water from my bottle and literally sprayed my bed while bursting into laughter! 🤣#Hilarious
That was absolutely fabulous Lindsay. Thanks for putting in all that time for what may have been your best video yet. I bookmarked it to watch again in the future. Keep on rockin'.
thank you condorman, that means a lot! :)
The meme energy woven into the interesting facts is phenomenal, here for it!
What a fantastic channel you've gone and built. Absolutely love your vibe and your approach to the topics. Loving the collabs too. Keep it the fuck up kid, you have something completely unique, you're captivating, entertaining as hell, effervescenctly smart and you're doing legitimately important work. Thank you!
i did see some cool birds! i think they were a pair of cooper's hawks!
also
DINOSAURS WOOO
Hey I love your content and the vibe of your channel this is going to be a great vid ❤
22:52 oh my, I'm polish and I was like "hold up isn't that polish spelling?"
In polish you'd pronounce the village's name (Lisowice) something like "lee-so-vee-sae", so the animal (Lisowicia Bojani) is like "Lee-so-vee-cha Bo-ya-ni".
edit: If any of you really care, you can look up the pronunciation, I struggled to figure out the right spelling since it's NOT REALLY cha at the end but whatever
thanks for nerding out whilst I draw, Lindsay:3! finding the long form videos very fun to listen to
Long videos are great! We all watch at our own pace, pausing to let the info sink in, you haven't lost me yet to information overload, keep up the great work!
Absolutely love the long form content! It discourages doom scrolling!
LETS FUCKING GOOO!!! NEW LINDSAY HISTORY OF EARTH VIDEO ❤❤❤❤
Edit: AAAA PALEO ANALYSIS!!! YESS!!!🎉🎉🎉
That We Know Of!
@@LindsayNikole My entire life, I've been explaining that concept to people in discussions about fossils. The fact that we can only know a tiny fraction of what has happened due to highly unlikely events perfectly preserving evidence of something for us to later find, *and* us actually finding that evidence. Whenever someone talks about the largest *anything*, "that we know of" is usually what I come back with, pointing out the incredible unlikelihood of an event that can preserve something gigantic (Argentina must've been one incredibly tough place back in the day for this reason).
That's my long way of saying "Thank you!" for your frequent emphasis on "that we know of". You're popularizing something that should trigger people to think, rather than memorize, and I love it!
I saw an osprey the other day!
Oh hell yeah! One of my favourite birds!

I remember in primary school there were people that brought a tuatara to our school to teach us about them. And i was so confused when they tried to show us their third eye because i couldn't see it for tje life of me.
It also felt really wrinkly, almost like granny skin but if she was in construction for 50 years. But idk, i have bad memory and maybe it was elderly or something
