    This is literally my favorite video on all of CZcams which sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but after coming here to watch it or listen to it in the background as I do other things so many times I think its time I said thanks. Something about the balance of its grand encompassing reach, general sense of direction, lack of full diving into overly specific scientific details, and condensed easy to digest nature really hits it home for me. Many episodes or shows delve too deep into details or don't give a good sense of the overall timeline in a way that I can connect with and I think that's what I needed most for a general understanding of the evolution of life and development of our planet. This video ties together all the details I've heard for years and does so in a step-by-step timeline that I can easily explain to someone who asks. Thank you SciShow, for this amazing combo-episode.

    • @Merennulli
      @Merennulli Před rokem +2

      I still find that hilarious. I was a fan of paleontology as a kid when that comic came out in calendar form and Dad and I laughed about it. At the time, I never would have guessed it would be officially adopted, but Dad and I were using it jokingly for decades before I ran across something officially calling it that.
      When I was young, they were still putting the spikes vertically on dinosaur toys, and I was the sort of kid who left his toys out on the floor, so as you can imagine, the thagomizer is something Dad feels very passionate about. It's his one-up any time someone mentions stepping on a Lego.

  • @johntuel2375
    @johntuel2375 Před 3 lety +11

    The Thagomizer name for the spiky end of a stegosaurus tail is from the comic strip The Far Side. The joke is some cavemen are discussing what to name the end of the tail. It turns out because their colleague Thag was recently killed by one, so they named it the Thagomizer.
    It actually really had no name until an archiologist saw the cartoon and made it official in real life.

In just my short lifetime I've witnessed our understanding of dinosaurs evolve from tail dragging lumbering beasts, and I'm excited to see how much more my granddaughter's generation will learn.

    Scientists really missed the chance to call the oxygenation event “Extinction O”. I mean, the double meaning is right there. It was a mass extinction event that took place before the conventional “Big 5” (Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and K-T) hence the O as in zero, and O also happens to be the symbol for the element responsible for the extinction.

Original Sharptooth, Chomper's Parents, and most of the Sharptooths (Tyrannosaurus - Late Creatceous) other Sharptooths (Allosaurus - Late Jurassic. Giganotosaurus - Early Cretaceous. Baryonyx - Early Cretaceous. Spinosaurus - Early Cretaceous. Deinonychus - Early Cretaceous) Underwater sharptooth (Mosasaurus - Late Cretaceous and Lipleurodon - Late Jurassic) and that Sailed Back Reptile in the first movie (Dimetrodon - Middle Permian).

      Essentially, the demand that all of a modern cell form spontaneously, complete in every detail, in a single instantaneous event is ridiculous -- and it is the central claim behind the religious 'special creation' and all of its' disguises. Evolution works incrementally, as anyone who Actually Watched The Video would understand; variations arise, and some of those variations survive better in the environment they are in. Those variants usually leave more offspring; less successful variants leave fewer (or no) offspring. Over time even small variations add up to big changes.

    I think I knew most of this coming into the video, but it is cool to have everything laid out clearly. The tree of life has been pruned by mass extinctions, allowing such an amazing variety of life forms to have their day. I think of all the animal groups shown the one I'm most curious about now is the pseudosuchians.

      I want the Star Trek bright future, but even the original series predicted a WWIII, where we almost wipe ourselves out. With greed, mass psychological manipulation via religion and politics, and the anti-Science, anti-education throngs, it will be bumpy for at least the next couple hundred years.

    Just think, the universe was made, the planets and stars were formed, life somehow started, the dinosaurs came and went, and out of all of the things that ever could have happened, here you are. Every time I’m feeling down I remind myself what an amazing chance I’ve been given. Don’t waste it friends!😊

      I couldn't agree more, and what started out as basic elements fusing inside the core of sun's, has formed into complex arrangements which are aware of themselves and take in wonder of the universe from which they exist. Incredible.

    THANK YOU. I can remember having Dimetrodon lumped in with dinosaur toys I had as a kid, and in retrospect it pisses me off, as one who loves paleontology.

    • @39401JLB
      @39401JLB Před 3 lety +1

      Yes, Dimetrodon mixed in with dinosaurs was inaccurate. But it is still a very cool beastie, and learning about it has been a lot of fun. If it were not included in the 'dino toys' some people might never have known about it.

    Great video guys, or videos. But when you talk about the endosymbiosis (minute 8:16) "one cell ate but didn't digest" another cell, there is a question... how could that cell self-replicate? regarding how did the development of internal new acquired organelles (mitochondria) get their own mitosis during cellular division.. or how did the new organelle get sequenced in the DNA of the cell so all new descendents will have mitochondrias? i know its a hard question, is there any info about it?

    I just wish you could talk a little slower and have a few more graphics so I can anchor the information.
    Please keep up the fantastic work that you do, it is so important that we know who we are.
