Speculative evolution has a tragically small presence on CZcams, this channel is pioneering
Planet Axolotl large scale speculative evolution and biology has a small presence on the Internet in General. I’ve only seen a few large projects featuring it.
This is something I kinda want to get into but I’m only in high school and am learning biology rn

@@kingasasin177 Sounds like a perfect starting point, and if you want to go into a biological job, I recommend becoming a taxonomist. They are becoming more and more rare but are highly requested specialists. You can choose a phylum of your liking and become an expert for them and you will pretty much have a job safe.
@@sanguillotine got any recommendations while I wait for the next episode to come out?
If tentaclostoma ever evolve into a civilization, that's gonna be one weird first contact.
"Hello, I am Ambassador Johnson of the Terran Union. What is your name?"
Tentaclostoma: *pukes*
@@gamerrfm9478 If they're still living in benthic environments, and thus live in low-light conditions, by the time they develop sapience, the sign language they develop would likely be tactile rather than visual in its uptake method.
*puke-poop-cums
Johnson: *blushes* "so forward..."
Boisegang The future is wild confirmed
@@gamerrfm9478 also vocal communication requires the respiratory system to use the mouth as it's input/output of air/water/other medium.
This species still has gills so it could evolve vocal communication out of its gills instead, meaning they would talk in stereo.
The models are central to the experience of watching this. They elevate the whole exercise to phenomenal levels

@@yogurtofthemultiverse2200 I'd guess Blender. But there's also a discord linked in the description of later videos where they might know more.

going off topic a bit here, Remember No man's sky? Remember Starbound? Remember "procedurally generated creatures"? this is the procedure they should have been using. Instead of escentially random chimeras, how about using smaller parts and asigning each part some tags. the game then, per planet, evolves a cladegram. the game randomly picks a tag, then branches the cladegram and picks another tag for each branch of the split, and it does that until it has the required number of creatures for that planet. Then it actually generates the creatures according to the tags. The result. Slightly more unique creatures that look cohesive with each other across the planet.
That's a lot of work for something that will produce a lot of crappy results. I love the idea, but there is a reason it hasn't been done to that extent (yet). You could give it a go maybe.
@@kevinscales I intend to. And I argue that it would only produce crappy results if I use crappy parts. And morphing the parts to fit would help too. The dog and the camel have the same nose but both have been morphed from what they used to look like.
@@lexibyday9504 I hope it works out. True, it should produce great results, if you do it right, but the 'if you do it right' is a lot of work.
If you are passionate about the process and are not too constrained by a specific products requirements (like a deadline) it can be done and I wish you luck!
@@kevinscales I've never even completed my first indi game so I'm not really qualified to do this yet but it is my personal mission statement to demonstrate to corporations the obvious better ways of doing things. I'm also going to one day make a rpg that captures the creativity of pen and paper roleplaying
@@lexibyday9504 oooh, I'm all about capturing the creativity of tabletop rpgs in a computer game. Giving that kind of freedom to players without it being a confusing mess is the kind of challenge I'd love to solve one day. Also allowing maximum freedom in the creation of the world and its items and magic system and kingdoms and quests, even dialogue, that's the holy grail in my eyes.
My own idea involves partially creating the world before the game starts and modifying it as the game goes on to suit the players play style and interests. Laying the track down in front of the player, but it a way that seamlessly fits what the player has already learnt about the world.
if tentaclostomes were real, people would have to call them "turtlesquids".
Turtle-Squid-Snails
Squidsnails, Turtlesquids, Shellsquids, and so on.
Considering their shape, maybe they'd be called Skullsquids instead? With their armor, they kinda resemble a skull, if you remove the facial cavities.
humans will be able to call them whatever they feel, as well as "mrs.booboo's princess"
Hmm, a squid-like animal with a shell like a turtle. If only we had nautilus or ammonite!
I call them knock-off Daleks
So, last video I was thinking: "Only 2 body plans? That's just too few, how are you going to evolve an entire ecosystem and biosphere out of this?"
And then this video hits. Holy cow, this is awesome. So many cool species.
I was kind of sad, I was expecting the Anthostoma to evolve their arms to be held together by skin, forming a cavity that could be filled up with air so they could float up to the surface of the water, and develop leaves on the other side, becoming plants that float on the water. But that's still pretty cool.
Well, he hasn’t discussed multicellular autotrophs, so that’ll be interesting.
you could add it to your personal version of this ecosystem. That sounds really cool, oceanic waterlilies!
cool idea but... plants with skin.. eghh
@@SpydrXIII Wait isn't that Extraterrestrial? the one with a sky whale?
@@seguaye It would still be interesting, though
It's absurd how few views this has; this has to be one of the coolest youtube series I've ever viewed
This series feels like it would be a perfect starting point for anyone to get into speculative evolution
Mountain Bum at least the like to dislike ratio is perfect.
I think most people find it complicated, but I think it's fun lol
Too few people believe in evolution, unfortunately
It Is! I’m currently working on an alternate universe version of this series.
if only spore was like this.
HERE'S HOPING THRIVE CAN BE L;IKE THIS.
did thrive get beyond a bugged cell stage? it was like that the last time i tried
@@ballom29 still at cell but I think it's less buggy. Honestly I don't think it'll be fully released in the next 5 years but hopefully it's worth the wait.
@@moekitsune considering i forgot the years i've first heard of (probably 3 to 4 years ago) and still not beyond cell, it's likely it won't ever be finished
Holy shit, you're telling me there's a free open-source Spore successor in development? How did I never hear of this before?
@@theviniso don't get your hope too high.
Thrive aim to be spore, but better.
BUT
Now than I have done research, the game has been in development since 2013, and the game is still at cellular stage (there has been few additions since the last time i played...but still )
I really hope they're actually working on every stage at the same time and than once cell stage is completed the others will quickly follow
"Yeah, nature can be gross sometimes..."
But nonetheless, AWESOME series we have here, so... waiting for another episode!
Yeah, sorry this one was so late. I was out of commission for a few weeks due to personal illness. I'm aiming to get the next video done by early-ish November.
Biblaridion No worries! Incredible video as always!
I love this series! Keep it up :D
No need to apologise, your health comes before our entertainment.
What it's gong to be the next video?
I wonder if I shoudn't create a wiki about your serie "Alien Biospheres"
wow. that last thing reminds me of that land squid from "the future is wild"
The "Squibbon" I believe they were called. I'm glad to find someone who've also seen 'Future is wild'.
Looks like a bit of a fusion of both of that show's cephalopods to me. It's got the Squibbon's eyes, and the Swampus' skidding-pad things.
Either way, still really cool!

13:43 hmm these kinda look like octopuses.
15:45 yup nevermind
I thought he was making an octopus, and then that thing evolved.
But seriously, the octopus should be another species considering that there is an octopus in our oceans so the body plan is probably successful.
DANDAN THE DANDAN Thats not how evolution works though, a successful bodyplan isn’t always going to evolve, if given enough time it might, but something else might also evolve that has the same niche, and that bodyplan could stop the other one from even happening
Thats how an evolution, do
This is AMAZING! As an evolution thought experiment for life on another planet this is the most in depth representation I have ever seen. Excellent work
I hope there will be a dedicated plant evolution tree for the terrestrial part.
And, just, wow, this is amazing.
10:53 It’s funny. When he said that, I was like “Huh. Something about using blood for that purpose seems oddly familiar.” but I couldn’t put my finger on it. It wasn’t until after I binged the entire series that I realized why. And it’s really stupid.
They’re making their legs go stiff by filling them with blood.
Their legs get boners.
It’s hilarious because I had actually stopped for a moment to try to figure out why it had seemed familiar, and had given up, figuring I’d probably once heard of an obscure primitive organism that does that or something. When it finally clicked in my head I laughed out loud. This incredible adaptation I was trying to remember was literally just the concept of erections.
In retrospect, erections are actually kind of cool. Even though I’m asexual and think they’re totally disgusting, this suddenly made me appreciate how epic it is that they use blood for such an unusual purpose. Evolution sure is creative.
Whyyyyyy
*(invisible disgust)*
"an obscure primitive organism that does that". I shouldn't feel personally attacked but still.
i, too, am an obscure primitive creature
Reproductive biology is pretty cool if you have the stomach for it.
Fun fact : you mention sea pigs and their transition from radial symmetry to bilateral symmetry, but the clade Echinodermata, to which sea pigs (and starfish) belong, is taxonomically classified in Bilateria (this symmetry can still be observed in starfish larvae for example). This means that sea pigs went from bilateral symmetry, to radial symmetry, and back again to bilateral symmetry!
I've been waiting for this one! I subscribed because of this series :)
That's me as well.
I didn’t expect you to be here! :D
@@mpice2666 I'm all over the place :)
Alien Biospheres there will be episode 14
This was hinted at in one of the graphs you showed, but yes, for anyone wondering, cladistics mean that birds are dinosaurs (and reptiles by extension, lol). Not just dinosaur descendants, but true blue dinosaurs, because being a descendant of a clade is the only requirement you need for a full-benefits membership card to that clade. I think that they're a great example of how spectacularly diverse a clade can become (to the point of causing much confusion!), something I'm glad to see that you weren't shy to show in this video! Fascinating stuff.
Mammals too... and we all are frogs...
@@viorp5267 not frogs though, that's for sure
Hmm, this will get intresting when things will haul themselves onto the ground. With low gravity creatures without an endoskeleton can grow a bit larger while evolving the endoskeleton out of those bodyplans is going to look intresting to say the absolute least.
Thanks for this amazing show of imagination, Bib! I personally love what your doing and how strangely everything turns out, altruth with the tentaclemouths I smell some inspiration with Future is Wilds land octopuses.
I am however a bit curious. I was working on a Sci-Fi setting where I do have some basic bodyplan ideas for sentient aliens (like 4-5 species which radiate into something new every time they settle a new planet) but I would need an expert to look over what I thought out. I was wondering if I could send you some ideas to rate?
You should make a video on them! Or otherwise post about them on the internet. Reddit.com/r/speculativeevolution would be a great place, though they don't get much traffic.
@@claytonharting9899 Thing is, its mostly talking abaut very rough outcomes of evolution rather than the process itself and the outcomes are meant to be pretty outlandish for the purposes of variety. It's very loosely connected to the topic.
Sure thing! Sorry for the delayed response, feel free to send anything to biblaridionvideos@gmail.com.
@@karolkwiecjasz9356 eh i think the speculative evolution forums might be a better place, trust me the subreddit for speculative evolution isn't the best example of what speculative evolution truly is
I could watch this for hours on end, finally something has made me interested in evolution.
Your channel is incredibly underrated !
I like how squids are more related to plants then bugs
0:45 I know I'm pedantic but Reptilia isn't a really clade anymore. Actually it should be Sauropsida with birds as the sister taxon of the crocodiles
I noticed that too ^^
Also lizards are not sister clade to snakes. Snakes are just type of "lizards" (at this point "lizards" could be considered synonymous with squamata).
Meanwhile Turtles split off earlier than that.
@@GoranXII but aren't they archisauromorph regarding molecular data?
@@ashenen2278 Possibly. I understand there's some dispute on that point.
I hope the weird radially symmetric animals eventually lead to sentience.
Also, although I dont think it evolved on earth, would it not be possible for three dimensional swimming in a corkscrew fashion to appear as well as two dimensional side to side swimming like mentioned in the video?
I've never thought of that that actually kinda makes sense it could work the symyetry would be interesting though because wouldn't the body spin and that would also make the creature slow
There actually is stuff that swims that way! It's how sperm swims because water is so viscus at that scale
Yeah theres room in 3D space for that. Also while it may not be as energy efficient with earth life besides small stuff (for prolonged periods) a different ogan configuration should be able to do it
hot damn I love the Tentaclostoma
I know but I would love to see a non-bilateral version as well.
Honestly this is easily one of my favourite series on CZcams. I pretty much rewatch the whole thing every time there's a new episode lol. Anyone else do this?
me
Pls dont stop with the series
I love this series so much! It makes me want to make my own entire alien ecosystem!
Alien Biospheres there will be episode 14
Why do I feel like the Tentaclostostomes are evolving into the Elder Things from At the Mountains of Madness?
Yeah there's a lot going on here. Holes and multiple eyes give me pure trypophobia, pale skin-like texture makes me dive into uncanny valley, hooks and thorns are basically traits of a predator, bulbous body shape reminds me of some cancer-like structure. Also various tentacles. Pure nightmare fuel.
Tentaclostoma are so neat and bizarre. I have a feeling this video series is going to help me out tremendously with ideas for worldbuilding in the future.
*The* most exciting worldbuilding series out there. What a treat. It's refreshing to see such excellent coverage of a topic that hasn't been worn out by dozens of other channels.
This is excellent, great baseplan on custom ecosystems. It feels like a professional documentary film about evolution. Mad props! :D
loving these names! also, from what I know, mineralization cannot occur below a certain depth, which would result in those tentaclostomes losing their shells entirely.
0:08 . that's how long I've been waiting for this video
I am absolutely fascinated by this series. It gives the viewer not just a great bit of insight into the way evolution occurs down here on earth, but also just how different life will look like on other planets, even if the conditions are relatively similar to earth's. One can actually lose themselves in the thoughts of what life would look like after having evolved on a planet completely different from earth.
You are doing an amazing job and I am sincerely looking forward to the next video in this series.
God, i love this
especially the 3D modelling, it makes me itch to go into blender and go nuts
I also squealed when i heard neotony
I'm looking forward for the animals of that setting, that evolve of these models!
This is genuinely some of the most interesting youtube I have watched ever. I love putting on Streamer uploads to pass time but this video series, I'm attentive at all times
I'm so glad I accidentally bumped into this series
Can't wait for the next episode.
This is perfect for me! I’m trying to design a planet for a story that I’ve been working on for quite some time now, but only could design creatures based on life in Earth’s past with some fantasy elements thrown in as well. Who knew designing an ecosystem would be so complex?
Well i got an idea for an alien that has its mouth also be its genetalia where sperm is inserted into the other creatures mouth to fertilize the egg into it
@@woko1009 Then make that species :)
Every time I wanted to say "But you may also..." you've covered exactly that. One thing that perhaps worth saying is that the stomach of Tentaclostomata could have developed a secondary opening, like it has happened at least several times on the Earth. And if not, the tentaclostomata are to develop a branching stomach to increase the feeding surface, like it is the case in the flat worms.
7:23
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
Wow, this is absolutely fascinating, and those models and animations must have been a huge amount of work!
I waited for this for so long thank you!
This series serves not only as an excellent experiment in speculative biology, but also as in introductory teaching tool for biology on earth. I learned so much watching this series and I'm currently on my third viewing. I really hope to see this series continued!
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a series this much before. This is absolutely fantastic. Please please keep these up! I absolutely cannot wait for more!
This series is so incredible, wow!
It’s so interesting to see how past adaptions get altered over time for different motives! I wonder how extreme the alterations if certain attributes could become under proper circumstances?
this series is like the sea pig, criminally underrated
i could watch this for weeks
I’ve been looking for a good speculative zoology series, and this one is amazing.
This channel is one of the greatest ones I have seen on youtube
i lovw this series and am very excited to watch part 4!! i've learned so much, maybe even more than i do in school. it's very fascinating how species evolve into so mane different breeds.
I'm really liking this series. I found you through Artifexian by the way. The one thing that bothered me about the transition from aquatic to terrestrial creatures is that you always see them coming from the ocean which is highly improbable. Since nearly all terrestrial animals require freshwater to drink it is most likely that animals evolved in shallows of freshwater lakes or rivers. This is why there isn't any saltwater amphibians.
These crestures are astoundingly beautiful. The commentary is well structured and informative too. It really allows for an in depth appreciation of cambrian life. My imagination is teeming with hypothetical creatures
Your channel grew up so fast! Congrats man, proud to be here from the beginning!

Great work
Day 231 of quarantine, I'm now an expert in the alien Cambrian Explosion
6:42 the motion is wrong, it is effectively paddling against its own paddles as the paddles "open up" again. the correct motion (as seen in animals on earth) is to close the front paddles first and move on to the back as to "add" to the water flow being directed back. (the high pressure field is next to/in front of the paddle as it closes, adding extra trust as water will more easy flow backwards then sidewards) As you compare to the Anguilliform swimming you will see what you suggest is not a natural progression to the motion of Anguilliforms, while what i suggest is. The front paddles close first, moving to the back, not the other way around.
Honestly can imagine the narrator being a member of this planet’s sentient intelligent species going over the evolution of all life on their home world, beginning with the very roots of the biosphere. Love this sort of thing.
Thanks dude, I was really hanging out for this, one, and you blew my expectations out of the water, the models and animations were a whole level above what I expected, you are pretty good at this my dude.
Very informative, with the most amazing details and graphics of any video I've seen on biology in years. Plus, your speaking voice is just perfect. Keep it up and you'll have hundreds of thousands of subs no time. Watching all these sea creatures and how they developed different body parts to adapt to different environments reminded me of the video game, SPORE. That was such a cool game.
I can't wait until you make a video about life coming to land
Really excited for this series! Love the extensive documentation of the process. Keep up the good work!
These videos are absolutely incredible! The quality and effort you put in is inspiring. Keep up the good work
Is toxicity coming soon?
I think that is an overlooked ability here but feel free to correct me if its more special than I thought.
Nah toxicity has evolved independently a shitload of times on Earth, can't see why it wouldn't also develop elsewhere.
@@11nephilim but would it be useful these creatures are very resistant to toxins mainly acid I think injecting the toxins would be effective

ive learnt from this more than in any of my biology classes
This play list is AMAZING!! I want to share this with all my bio friends!
Great video again, man! Love it! You're bringing forward a lot of stuff that I wanted to discuss eventually too, so I'm gonna have to up my game. :-)
Again a few remarks:
4:04 Like I mentioned earlier (not sure if you saw my previous comment), the term "metamerism" may be better. Invoking "segmentation" for vertebrates may confuse some, since, as you note, it is not externally visible. But you're right on the money with metameric elements being ideal for specialization of body regions.
5:55 I found this a bit confusing... Whereas a stomach is principle literally a body cavity, i.e. a cavity inside the body, normally this term is reserved for the so-called coelom, i.e. a tertiary germ layer that is formed besides the ectoderm and endoderm. In fact, in Earth's Bilaterians the endoderm is what becomes the stomach. The coelom or body cavity denotes a internal space for holding and organizing different internal organs like the stomach. Now, I know these alien creatures don't have to follow the evolution that animals on Earth did, but I do find it peculiar that the stomach is not one of the first things to develop in the common ancestral group of both your main clades (if there is one). I mean, didn't the polypods also have a stomach already?
7:00 I like this suggestion of how a polypod swimmer may dropped finned propulsion for anguilliform propulsion for speed. I wonder why so few lineages actually developed this primarily.
7:30 I also like this suggestion, but notice how the head begins to become reminiscent of Anomalocaris? That is no coincidence, maybe even unavoidable, since Anomalocarids evolved from annelid-like proto-arthropods. Or take e.g. Kerychmachela. This is really where one starts to feel the force of convergence!
13:50 Yup! This is the neat thing about evolution. It has no long-term direction and little respect for "tradition" or "establishment". It is quirky and can go back and forth between different life styles, sessile or motile, radial or bilateral, whatever is advantageous at the moment.
17:50 Love how your ecosystem is fleshing out.
Can't wait for part 4!
Cheers!
Thanks very much! Glad you're enjoying the series so far. You bring up some very good points.
I didn't think to use the term 'metamerism' in the last episode, but yeah, that may have been better.
I'm using the term 'stomach' more or less out of convenience and as a descriptor of function rather than structure, but yes, you're right, coelom is more appropriate. I initially imagined the ancestral anthostome as being somewhat like sea pens, but I think you're right in that the evolution of a body cavity would be pretty much inevitable. Who knows, maybe the gastrozoans are paraphyletic?
Yeah, it wasn't my initial intention, but as soon as I made the acanthopod model and moved the first two pairs of limbs to the front, the resemblance to anomalocaris was very obvious.
Thanks again!
Love the series’s keep at it ma’ boy.
And hope you are feeling better of course.
aw man, i love this. i'm a sucker for speculative evolution... i could watch you talk about your ecosystems and organisms for hours! looking forward to the next one c:
This is an awesome series, and Ive been using it to create a world myself because it is so fun to me! PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING THIS AWESOME SERIES
Finally a new video and what a video this is
I love this series a lot, I've learned a tons from watching this
Literally just stumbled upon your channel today, first because of conlang vids suggested when I was watching Artifexian. Then I saw you created this series about aliens! Looking forward to part 4 and hopefully beyond! Great job.
Came from Reddit, and I honestly don't know how I haven't found this channel before. These videos are amazing.
Please do a sequel for this I want to see this evolve!
I really love this series.
I just have to say that I love these videos so much and I appreciate how much effort went into this project. I watch these videos all the time-- including when I'm struggling to sleep. Your voice is just so soothing and this project is fascinating
I enjoy watching this series very much. It's really informative and fun, since you explain real evolutionary mechanics and use them to evolve different species. I love this! cannot wait for the next episode.
I'm revisiting this series in the wake of its (for now) conclusion. Love your work, but I do want to bring up an understandable error. Echinoderms are ancestrally bilaterally symmetrical - some of them convergently evolved forms that resemble radially symmetrical animals after becoming sessile, rather than bilateral symmetry evolving in an ancestrally radial clade.
