Yes, I said 70mm when I meant 70cm. Sorry.
Joe you looking forward to Tesla in Austin?
@@ryantoney4677 Or, do we?!?
you better be joking
Foul! You must pay the 20 dislikes penalty for that mistake! 🙅♂️And no donut. 🍩
I always watch the full add that comes before your video
I cant afford patreon so i think i can help this way :D
Imagine in the far future aliens finding human remains and recreating how they walked with really cheap CGI.
Cambrian Graphic Imagery!
thats basically what they did in that one animal planet show
Im just curious how aliens would interpret implants
Imagine them finding our memes and trying to understand them
@@Pyovali they wouldn’t understand anything let alone memes. once they understand some language and context it would be very easy to understand
*IT'S THE CAAAAMBRIAN EXPLOSION!!!!*
Wow, that's animals and stuff!
THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER
Edit. Not anymore, there's a blanket
*_S O C I E T Y_*
Ahh. I see you're a man of culture as well.
You can make a religion out of this.
DAMMIT!! I JUST POSTED THAT!! You beat me to it.
id love to see a movie where joe goes back in time to the cambrian explosion and has an adventure where he tries to survive/understand all the crazy creatures there are
How many Patreon subscribers would it take to fund this?
I learn more than I probably did in most of my schooling while watching this channel lol
and this stuff is aactually interesting
You skip schools huh
Yup
Same lol
Right now is the time we could actually change how children are tough- and don't fall asleep while doing it. This is it.
I'm of Welsh descent.....so every time I sneeze there's a Cambrian Explosion. ;-)
Well done.
I think I need not elaborate on the Cambrian Period though.....agreed?
I'm totally fangirling now...Thanks Joe!
Is wrestling perhaps a career of your interest?
@@TheTeflonTranny Outwardly I'm shaking my head in disapproval. Inwardly, I'm quite amused.
8:54 looks like a combination of a shrimp and a praying mantis
Actual mantis shrimp: Bro, am I invisible?
omg no pensé encontrarte aquí
Check out mantid flies, it's like a mantis-wasp centaur. Didn't know they existed till one was stuck in my house.
Am I John Cena?
Australia: I have the weirdest animals!
Cambrian Era Earth: Hold my beer...
My toilet bowl: Am holding your beer ... and many other weird, gross things
It's only because you didn't see the animals from Cambrian Australia lol
I live for Joe's chair turn and that little tune he plays when he does it lol
He's an absolute boss.
Me too.
Every chair spin adds another minute to my life expectancy
@@RealElongatedMuskrat lol agreed friend, and we all need it during these times lol
I would do it more but I'd get dizzy.
"Life just kind of tried stuff!" Do not try to use this as a legal defense. Speaking on behalf of a friend...
That's too bad :/
Ms Marple psychic investigator - I...I don’t follow. What are you actually saying here?
Ms Marple psychic investigator ok?
LoL
Life just kind of made? You avoided using Macro Evolution. Good! Better yet, try using: “The Creator” designed, built new life forms. No human can describe a sequence of events beginning with inert chemicals leading to replicable life forms, see Dr. James Tour.
I was feeling kinda down today but this video inspired me to learn about something new and distract myself from my worries. Thanks Joe! 💕
0:39 *The Precambrian is a supereon consisting of the Hadean, Archæan, and Proterozoic eons. It is not another eon alongside the Phanerozoic, but encompasses the entirety of Earth's history prior to the Phanerozoic, and is an informal term.*
This.
Source? Everything I've researched has separated them.
What I learnt today: Rowan Atkinson is the pinnacle of the entire evolutionary history of this planet.
😄I always think of him when my grandkids watch Ice Age...i.e. Sid the Sloth...
Well Rowan Atkinson is indeed a brilliant man with an IQ well above most of us :)
you didn't know that already?
@@ingebygstad9667 yes he is, and from all reports he is also a very nice man.🙂
@@dgas5904 yes indeed. I really enjoy watching interviews done with him and of course he's hilarious.
You’re getting closer to 900k subscribers! It has been amazing watching your page grow from 50,000 to where you are today. You are making quality videos that bring awareness to certain topics. Great work.
Thanks! It's been a crazy ride.
Bro hes grown so much the last few years. Well deserved
And now he has already 1mil
@@bobjenkins2671 and now he’s been exposed for horribly transphobic comments in the past. Time to find a new channel, I know this will be my last watch.
@@ENikolaev I can't find anything about it do you have a link.
5:35 here is our Founding !!!
I am glad you addressed the anthropomorphizing of the evolutionary process. It is a big problem. Many people take it literally.
"Life just kinda tried stuff." I went through a period like that, too. Me and the earth.
Are you feeling as old as the earth now?
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc No, not at all! How old are the continents?
@@AboveMediocrity2010 The geologists say well over a billion years. The creationists say about 6,000. Either way, they're a work in progress.
10:27 - Looks like a Leviathan class starship from “Farscape”.
No, the Leviathan class looks like THAT
I miss Moia
The Welsh wrestler, Cambrian Explosion, is vigorously full of life.
I love how this show ends up just like when you are drunk at a party talking to another drunk person. It sounds like science. Subscribed.
That was great, I loved the animations of what the animals of the Cambrian Explosion likely looked like.
Wait... This video was made public just 7 minutes ago... Your comment is from 2 hours ago?!
@@mocko69 members get early acess
Humble member flex I see
@@Kyo-uz1zi weird flex but ok...
Yeah, I can't take credit for those though. I linked to them in the description.
Wow, after watching this video I finally realised that my nephew drew a cambrian dog! He's a genius!
"because, you know... *Australia* ..."
( *Australia nods proudly in agreement* )
Hahahaha I so did too
Why is everything in Australia trying to kill ....well everything...LOVE Australia!!
Yes
I think I've been watching your channel since you had a few thousand subscribers and I still look forward to each and every video... thanks for not changing for mass appeal! Love the channel more than ever!
the cambrian is my favorite period just because of how goddamn weird it was
Lmao you good bro?
Right?? Anomalocaris is my favorite 💜 Even the name is amazing. Literally means "'weird shrimp" 😂
me too 😨
This has got to be one of my favorite, if not my favorite channels on TH-cam. Thanks for keeping things interesting. Wayyy better than any of the teachers I had way back in school.
Another great video, Joe! I loved the graphic overlays you added, they made it easier to visualize the timeline of what you were discussing. Keep up the good work!
You are my new favorite thing on TH-cam. How did I not find you sooner! Keep up the great work!
i liked the " so he agrees with me " part ... watched it 5 times
I’m Welsh and was totally unaware of the “Cambrian” origin. Oh well, Cymru am byth🏴🏴🏴
But when will we get the Welsh wrestler 🤼♀️
It makes sense, though. "Cambria" is a Latinised version of "Cymru".
@@jjcoola998 it's up to Rhys now
Elongated Muskrat I’ve got it covered
@@olmostgudinaf8100 I wonder if Cumbria is also related. This region was Brythonic-speaking until the 1200s.
Thanks for all the answers Joe, I've learned so much from this channel 🙂
Awesome video. I might add that it's important to remember that for most people diversity = looks different.
There is more similarity on a biological level between a person and a parasitic worm than the worm and bacteria (even though they both might be microscopic and similar in shape). The complexity of building blocks required to keep a large organism alive is pretty unbelievable... to the point that it might makes sense to have taken 2-3 billion years (search "Drew Berry: Animations of unseeable biology").
That doesn't at all detract from the awesomeness and importance of the Cambrian Explosion mind you... just saying the "unseen biology" is often more complex, diverse and incredible than the things we see that are made of it.
9:03 you ment 70 CM (centimetres), not 70 MM I assume?
I was just going to comment the same thing.
*meant
@@papagrounds English suck, talking as someone who isn't native to English but is quite fluent in it, especially condone and condemn, why they so similar sounding yet opposite in meaning is just taking the piss
or maybe its 2 and a half inches?
@Ben Parr I do not condone such behaviour, in fact I condemn it!
"His friends called him 'Cinco'" Hahaha! Love it!
Joe, you are just awesome! I love your content, and I love the way you are presenting it! Thank you for your good work. You have a big fan!
Joe, this is my favorite way to learn. Thank you!
Joe!! i love your content, your delivery is so engaging and the stuff you cover is always super interesting :) i have an audio suggestion for you, as i notice that your videos have a light pink noise ambience along with your voice. you can start recording before you start shooting for an ambience sample and use your room’s ambience to cancel it out for the rest of your video with audio normalization! anyways, thanks so much for all you do! keep it up
I mildly despise you because now I can't stop hearing it. I'm not even halfway through the video yet. XD! But still, thank you for bringing this up. I hope your comment gets noticed. :'')
Yeah, there's seems to be some kind of issue with my audio setup that has become apparent lately. I'm working on it.
It never took all this time as you will soon have to agree. If Darwin had to admit that he had been waisting his time.so will you in the near future GOD BLESS.
Thanks for clarifying that, I had always thought the Cambrian explosion referred to the time they tried to dispose of a huge dead whale on a beach in Oregon by using dynamite. Seriously though, I enjoy all the videos you create. They are thought provoking and informative as well as entertaining. Keep up the great work!
Looking at pictures of these creatures is giving me nostalgic flashbacks to when I was a kid who read too many books about marine biology.
I would love to see a whole series just going over a bunch of the animals in the following geological periods!
I’ve seen the David Attenborough doc that he’s using for some of the visuals. Mind blowing!
I love the “come at me bro” pic of hallucigenia 😂😂😂
I wish you were my teacher back in the day, you explain things in a way that makes me listen.
I loved the honesty, of your delivery, of "we don't really know..." Thank you!!
9:00 70mm that a rather SMALL 2 and a half feet...lol
Just over 2.5 inches. About the length of your thumb.
He meant to say centimeter (cm)?
@@Sutrabla no $h!^ Sherlock! ;)
Metric system strikes again!
Love how honest you are f****** hilarious "I mean I could.... But I'm lazy so I'm going to keep doing it." Lol 🤣😂
I love your channel and content so much joe, thanks for being here
Keep the great videos up Joe!!!
Hey! Tangent cam shows a doggo! I wanna see the doggo!
Check out his second channel, TMI, and he shows and talks about the dogs there sometimes. Also search for "answers with Zoe" for a special episode hosted by his other dog 😁
Little video bomb there.
What exactly is a doggo?
@@RRSmurf lol, just a dog my dude
@@tylerdavis5726 see now, that wasn't so hard now was it 😇
Say it ain't so, Joe!! 70mms is how long?
You have to do a clip on the development of the metric system and why it rules the world now.
Seems he meant "70cm"...
This is your usual level of excellence and what you do best. Love it! Thanks!
Awesome content. I was this years old when I learned that the Cambrian era was named after the mountain range in Wales. Plus, as a Welsh person I was stoked to see my hometown, Wrexham - on Answers with Joe!
9:03 70mm is more like 2.5 inches not feet 😉 Otherwise another awesome and interesting vid 👍🏻
When u try to be smart but your just a annoying crackhead
@@agenthum there is a massive difference between 70 millimeters and 70 centimeters. 70 centimeters is 10 times larger.
I reckon he meant 70cm
Fischy I never said that he was wrong I just simply pointed out that it’s annoying when people go through videos looking for mistakes to be annoying - it’s called logic kiddo
@@agenthum this is an enormous mistake in scale and is very jarring for anyone used to the metric system. Imagine if he had said "3.8 miles, just about the length of your arm".
"Life just, uh, kind of tried stuff." - Dr. Ian Malcolm (probably)
Life, the planet,the universe does not "try stuff". If you see design or purpose in nature why dont you realize there is an intelligent agency brhind it?
@@johndelong5574 ...huh?
@@del132 wha?
@@johndelong5574 yuh.
Beautiful, man!
I'm proud of myself for following this channel
I love this stuff! And I love the humor you throw in too!
These last two videos where great.
Hi from South-Africa 👋🇿🇦
one of the best videos I've seen on this...thanks Joe!
Awesome! The Cambrian Explosion is one of my favorite topics to learn about 🤟🏻💚
The Cambrian explosion is my favorite time in the history of earth it has the most interesting animals ever
I would love to dive in the Cambrian oceans in person
and disturb the entire history of life on earth
I actually love this channel so much.
Pumping out the videos lately!
Nice work! :)
9:02 - "70mm in length, that's more than 2 and a half feet." -Joe Scott 2020.
Your wife must think you're massive ;)
Great vid!
There’s a bit of a background hiss on this video.
That's coming from his pet Cambrian snake.
Very interesting, thanks Joe
Hi Joe, I watch a lot of Hank Green's science news shows, and I have to hand it to you, for your format makes the information more digestible. Love how you pad the subject in a way that feels more like handling something as we unbox it, as opposed to feeling like looking through the window of a train, as it's passing by.... Anyway thanks for the deeper look at things.
= )
Yaaay for not making a 25 minute "epic" video. Short and sweet is best!
We need moar videos 😊 get a crew and ramp up the production! ❤️
Keep growing the channel until world domination.
@DATING HARLEY QUINN What?
Poop my pant
Your videos are so great! They are funny, educational and bingeable 10/10
bingeable ... Yes when people first find Joe, most get hooked
I really enjoyed both videos hope to see more on this.
6:28 Were they playing SPORE again?!
Forget speed build, more spike for the wins.
It's interesting how some stick to the eat or be eaten and become smarter at eating stuff versus getting smarter at not being eaten when the first thing that occurred to me was maybe it was more calcium in the oceans from rock erosion as the world started to get some wiggle in it's wobble or some chemical reaction thus allowing soft bodied creatures to grow shells and then some other creatures developed ways to open up shells. It's a fundamentally different approach to evolution imo with the old survival of the fittest merely a reflection of the general mentality of the people who developed those theories back in the days of manifest destiny etc. How unexciting to think that evolution was more like the three little pigs story of simple creatures trying out different building materials for their homes and opportunistic creatures figuring out how to destroy their homes and eat them, not to mention unflattering if the people who leaned into the survival of the fittest and alpha species mentality are defined as the destructive opportunist.
I love your verdicts Joe ^^
On track to 1 million subscribers. Well deserved, Joe. Excellent content 😀
These hallucigenia things seemed to have appeared in Attack on Titan >_> Oh what could have been~
that is legit the thing that created titans in aot
"70 millimeters in length, that's more than 2 and a half feet" uhhhhh
I wonder if he meant CM... Or misread
Nice video Joe! Could have been longer and I wouldn't have minded! I find this era fascinating and have a few books on it although I never retain the names - I just look at the pictures in awe!!!
Very cool vid man. Thanks
(Pre Cambrian) do you like my car my car...
(Cambrian) *GAS GAS GAS!!!*
"Life just tried stuff" Sounds like the process used to explain it too.
Love this please please please do more of this stuff
Great video. Really interesting
try to be a bit more careful withe "Era", "Eon", and "Period" In this context, they are not the same thing.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. (I almost forgot these were separate definitions)
Right! I really tried, I promise, but it's kinda confusing. Even science papers I found mixed them up. (I should probably change the title though because the Cambrian was for sure a period... Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks for keeping me honest).
The like to dislike ratio is astounding. 25k to 369.
On a video talking about evolution!
Normally anything that even hints at evolution attracts a swath of creationist types frantically downvoting and commenting.
I've been scrolling through all the comments and only found one creationist so far.
Every time I rediscover this channel I always wonder why it doesn't have 10x the subscribers. At least you finally cracked a million. Half the time I look up a weird question I'm wondering about, you've already made a video about it.
Fascinating and funny. Your videos are the best. My daughter and I love watching them together. This is the first TH-cam comment I think I've ever made. Just wanted to say thank you.
The last time I was this early, my ancestors were still invertebrates.
Eren Yeager
And here I am, watching another 20 Joe Scott video
Thank you for putting out these amazing vids
brilliant love this stuff
I understand *WHY* we do it, but we should really stop anthropomorphizing evolution, especially on TH-cam . Life didn't "figure out" or "decide" anything, as this implies some sort of concious will behind adaptation. I mean, there very well might be, we don't know. But it's not required, nor is it implied in our understanding of natural selection. People already have some huge misconceptions regarding evolution as it stands, and this language isn't helping. I get that it's shorthand for people who we already know to have a firm grasp on the basics of evolutionary theory. However, when you're speaking to an audience as large and diverse as yours is, I have to assume that a percentage of those people *don't* have that understanding of evolution. Speaking this way just muddies the waters, IMHO.
EDIT: Well nevermind. There's the "Tangent Cam" explanation. Thank you sir!
Excellent video Joe, one of your best - packed a lot in and great humour.
It was bloody fast though! 😅
1:07 Like how the progress on your t-shirt aligns on the timeline
I love your dorky sense of humor, thank you. (Dorky is a compliment- I mean it like 'childish' or 'sweet'.)
Joe is my hero !
AWESOME VID!!!!!! MORE LIKE THIS PLZ
Joe another great video, I tune in every week👍 Cant wait till you do a video on China's artificial sun which went live earlier this year.
One of your best! Thanx so much! :-)))
