The Evolution of early Plants

[@stonecold3957]

Fantastic information and great visual content - BUT completely ruined by a robotic voiceover! If this was properly narrated by a professional human voice it would be an incredible documentary.

[@cartoonistanonymous]

I however am happy to see that our future/present technological overlords take such an interest in the history and development of the biological life forms of Terra. Follow Science Phil the Alvin for the universe. Also🎃🤯

[@dansv1]

The music makes it hard to listen to also.

I concur. Flora is always neglected or minimized in biology it seems. I'm talking 60"s 70"s for me. They are now a extremely fascinating inquiry for me. Great presentation.

[@tutubism]

​@@ruthmckay9086 primitive aquatic animals? no. terrestrial animals? maybe

[@villie86]

Man, this was amazing. I was always fascinated by these early plants and how weird and complex they looked despite being so primitive. I would have loved to see them in real life.

[@hectorvaleriano1266]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks of stuff like this. Like imagine taking a giant hamster ball that could never be destroyed, placing humans in them, and traveling to the past to see and observe what life was like, trees, animals. I fantasize over the weirdest stuff 😂😂

[@Tyra-2534]

@@hectorvaleriano1266 Same with me. The picture here on 1.53 was the first paleozoic plant picture I have ever seen. IT is an old picture from Z.Burian, painted in the 1950s but still one of my favourite devonian pictures. If time travels would be possible, I would choose first the middle Devonian to see the first trees, like the strange Duisbergia, the Archaeosigillaria ect. And I would crawl around on the Devonian floor to watch the first Insects and spider-like Animals....😊 On second I would like to go to middle (or early?) Silurian and see the very first land plants like cooksonia. My third travel would be the to the wonderful carboniferous swamp forests. And where do you like to travel with your hamsterball time machine?

[@the_one_who_has_a_very_str5580]

[@fanaticbuster8856]

So it's been plants evolution that allowed terrestrial animal existence afterall. Animals existed even before plants, during the Cambrian period there were at minimum small marine invertebrates but not terrestrial animals, not even insects. Also the oxygen was at least given by the atmosphere, bacteria and ocean. Here's the first animals were living beings that eat other living beings.

[@EliosMoonElios]

Before algae the planet was unsuitable for anything more complex than a bacteria, no oxygen in water or air as fast energy source to be more complex, that bacteria was feeding in inedible substances like sulfurs and rocks, relying in slow chemical reactions, too slow energy source merely enough to survive but nothing else, that is why the life spend hundreds of millions of years stuck in bacteria state but once algae appear and start filling the sea with oxygen then most of the bacteria die, oxygen was toxic for bacteria, and the surviving bacteria learn to feed in oxygen and then suddenly they have a fast source of energy, plenty of energy to waste in evolution.

[@elderyear]

Plants predate the Cambrian, and appeared before animals.

[@AyZeD]

Crazy how even leaves are kind of a modern evolution in the grand scheme, I knew spores were a prehistoric thing too but I didn't know every plant had it at one point and now it's pretty much only ferns that still do it. It's just like the animal world, even thought heres millions of species, there has been billions more. like 95% of all life that has existed, is already gone
