Exactly like military armies throughout the ages. First rely on armor but now rely on camoflage.

[@justiniani.4501]

Except we still rely heavily on armour. The only difference is that instead of wearing the armour, we now drive inside of it.

[@justiniani.4501]

@Question Question Well, yeah, there's that as well, but it's not the same per se. Bullet-resistant vests on today's infantrymen definitely lower the death toll significantly and are important, but the difference between wearing it and not wearing it isn't as stark as it used to be. A common soldier uses cover and doesn't rely on his armour to protect him, as it's specifically a last resort, unlike an average medieval soldier who very much did rely on that, very much incorporating it into their way of fighting. Modern tactics would be no different irregardless of if the soldiers wore armour or not, while medieval tactics had a very special role for men with heavy armour. From that perspective, tanks and armoured vehicles suit the role of plate armour a lot better.

[@eeenriquegabrielnegro8167]

@@justiniani.4501 ok and what about helmets to resist bullets, armor that can save you from an explosion and these things called *"shoes that are there to protect your feet from nails"*

[@justiniani.4501]

@@eeenriquegabrielnegro8167 A helmet is a piece of protection. Same as the body armour, it's a last resort protection that cannot be relied on like a suit of armour was. It's literally the same as mentioning the protective clothing. One helmet does not change the soldier's role on the battlefield, and same goes for the shoes. You don't suddenly get the tank role because you wear them, you are still used as a basic infantryman. I'm the past, armour was a notable distinction that would put you either on the heavy infantry camp or the light infantry camp. Heavy infantry would be wearing heavy armour and holding the lines with their warm bodies and swallowing most of the damage while light infantry would be used for flanking maneuvers and supporting the lines. Today, the role of heavy infantry does not even exist, or at the very least, it's not determined by armour, because the role of damage absorbers is, again, fulfilled by tanks, not humans.

[@yanxishan6575]

We have no fossil evidence of creatures confirmed to be giant squid relatives. There are known cephalopods from the Cretaceous that looked similar to Architeuthis, but they lived in shallow seas and appear to be more closely related to Vampyroteuthis. We thus have no evidence of how Architeuthis evolved and what their ancestors were.

[@zekezzekekan2144]

We do know that there are giant squids in the deep parts of the ocean.not as large as they used to give a still larger than the squids near the surface. Hypothesis are they need to be that big to withstand the pressure of deep sea or are that big to have more volume compared to surface area so that way they can withstand the cold. But we don't really know why sea creatures in the deep get so big.

I'm shocked that there's so much information on evolution which people always tell me is only a theory and I'm also shocked how nice and thoughtful everyone seems in this comment section. This kind of sparks a new interest in science for me

[@corvusboreus2072]

Thomas Melone. Evolution is, by definition, alteration from direct repetition of cycle. Within life (biology), such changes are called biological evolution. There are various and overlapping theories on why such change in life occurs over time. Charles Darwin offered one theory (evolution through natural selection). The ever expanding field of genetics (pioneered by Brother Mendel) offers further insights. A man called Lamarck also offered theories on how adaptive and imitative behaviors might imprint upon physiology and then be passed on and amplified over successive generations (giraffes stretch their own necks). Although long sidelined, with recent findings on neuro-physio plasticity and epigenetics, such ideas are also being increasingly considered and reseached. Simply put, the myriad of forms in the heritage of life are beyond the constraints of a single book.

[@stevesteverson1730]

change in allele frequency, yes.....change from one species to another no. The Cambrian explosion is direct evidence against macroevolution. What we see in the fossil record is overwhelming stasis. Which is why the absurd idea of punctuated equilibrium was put forth. DNA is inert and could never form on its on. Impossible without the help of intelligence. Not ro mention if you did have information that record, edit, and translate/copy itself you would still need a cell for it to have any function. The ultimate chicken and the egg in nature. So the reason some people reject TOE is because when you scratch the surface of the theory it is full of wholes. Very, very far from fact.

[@agilemind6241]

+Steve Steverson Which is why self-reinforcing chemical reactions is the current topic of research when it comes to the origin of life. There are plenty of geological processes/structures which could/can concentrate pro-biological molecules - water pockets in soil/sediment/sand, crevices in rocks, etc.. There have been a few self-catalysing chemical cycles uncovered as well - i.e. a sequence of reactions which produce more and more of all their components. Sure it's not a whole cell yet but it took a billion years over the whole planet for a cell to arise just once. So the fact that such an event hasn't been replicated in the few hundred labs over the past few decades is hardly evidence that is can't have happened. "DNA is inert and could never form on its on." I think you'll find DNA is forming on it's own in you body right now. It definitely isn't inert, in fact most people argue that DNA is too unstable for chromosome-length molecules to remain intact until cell capable of homeostasis existed. Though it is all beside the point because an RNA-world where by RNA would both be the information-storing and metabolic enzymes of the first cell-like structures is much more likely. "true" cells with DNA for information storage and proteins for metabolic enzymes would have evolved later.

Marsupials are mammals. You mean placental mammals.

[@TheWatcher802]

I also would like a video on it, but in short, because they had few competition from other mammals. Australia had no mammals except marsupials and monotremates until the arrival of humans. That's why there is so much diversity of marsupials there. And south america had only marsupials, xenarthra (sloths, anteaters and armadillos) and other groups of mammals who are now extinct. Mammals like rodents, primates and felines arrived in south america relatively recently: when the Americas came together. It was also at this time that marsupials and xenarthra invaded north america. However competition and predation from the newly arrived mammals made marsupial numbers dwindle greatly (as well as other mammals native to South America, who went extinct around this time). In all other continents marsupials faced competition from other mammals, better adapted to their niches, and therefore more efficient, and that's why you don't see marsupials anywhere else, they went extinct when they faced competition from other mammals.

Limey Lassen Splatoon?

[@scaper8]

I'm am utterly convinced that cephalopods are the most likely branch for intelligent life to form from outside the mammalian line should we ever leave the planet (intact, that is).

[@revolvingworld2676]

I had heard that It is estimate that they have the caliber to evolve like Humans. But the human evolution occured because they were forced to adapt and gain inteligence to survive. I doubt they would gain human inteligence simply because humans are gone. I still cant completely find a concrete answer to why humans gained inteligence, but most articles say it was due to competition and early humans trying to one up each other.

[@LimeyLassen]

Come to think of it, being weak and squishy is one thing humans and cephalopods have in common. It makes sense we'd both go in for smarts. Evolution doesn't create things it doesn't need after all.

[@denisenova7494]

Squids and octopus are STILL very, very intellgent.

[@Bigkahkistan]

These videos are so concise and clear about such complex topics.

The fossil /evolutionary history of Antarctica, please!

[@JoaoPedro-qp9cw]

Please talk about the evolution of flightless birds(Ratita)

[@iainhansen1047]

João Pedro yes!

[@ScionStorm1]

For a very brief moment I read that as the name of a Pokemon.

[@poisontoad8007]

What makes you think Ratites ever flew?

[@poisontoad8007]

Nain Eleffen Yep. You can see how it might have started by observing birds like cormorants but penguins are certainly next level.

[@a-bird-lover]

Definitely a yes

[@jem_aroha]

from having a shell to having the ability to camouflage to protect theirselves, that's freaking cool. how do they even figure out how that they can camouflage? that's so awesome

[@alexrossouw7702]

They evolved from little SEA WIZARDS

came for the cephalopods, stayed for hank green

[@grimesdaughter9042]

".....and they looked like tiny, adorable, upside-down ice cream cones" :)) Aww I'm here for this personal, fun approach on science, that doesn't take itself so serious. I have that all day at the university and in the lab.

[@korakys]

I keep watching Eons videos as they come up in recommended; I never would have guessed I would find them so interesting. Great work guys.

[@BlackPearl27]

I'm a simple person. I see Hank, I keep watching

[@cerberusrex5275]

This channel is so underrated...

[@alexkorocencev7689]

I think that you should add a comment answering section like PBS Spacetime

[@nedkenny4571]

Love watching these as I go to sleep. I fall asleep and keep listening, my brain absorbs the knowledge, I watch more videos on squids. I wake up. I am a squid.

[@citiesskyscrapers4561]

Its one of the best channels on KZbin !

[@elizabethnorth2828]

Eeeeeek! This channel makes me so happy

[@elizabethsetlow862]

Elizabeth North as a fellow Elizabeth, I agree and identify.

[@jessicabrown7274]

I really like your "Eeeeeek", we are both happy watching this.

[@bob8mybobbob]

The distant past is so mind-boggling. At one point all the animals were just scooting around slurpin' up plants, not really worried about anything but finding more food. Then one day one of them was like "No, Bob, I'm going to eat you."

"your channel is super awesome!!!" - my 4 yr old Thanks !

[@AliHSyed]

This, with it's names and rivalries and successions, sounds like a fantasy novel like LOTR.

[@rosejames1436]

Fantastic description of ceph evolution! Thanks!!

[@kroberts1515]

I want to learn more about the ancestors of modern day crocodilians!

[@FuckYoutubeAliases]

kroberts1515 They were always... Crocodiles. Simple crocodiles. For eons.

[@Wh00vid]

check out the Deinosuchus, one of the largest Crocodile species to live.

[@sambein2673]

Awesome vid! Would be cool if you guys also made a similar one on Echinoderms. It seems like they fill a lot of niches and adaptations, and I'm curious about their place in our family tree.

[@reaper3.097]

[@natesmith3949]

Would love to know more about the Cenozoic Era and the rise of the mammals.

[@robinchesterfield42]

YES! Prehistoric mammals is one of my favourite something-other-than-dinosaurs-please ancient stuff subjects. They're just so weird and varied!

[@echadmiyodea]

This is a super interesting story. Great explanations

[@brendantcooper1]

This is a wonderful production. Thank you!

I subscribed because of this. I hope you can keep entertaining me with stuff like this and the possibilities or theories.

He is by far the best narrator of the bunch!

[@monsoon_magic2874]

Excellent video. Please do a video on the different lineages of birds BEFORE the KPg extinction.

[@scaper8]

Ooh, that's a good one. I never would have considered that, but I like it.

[@jaschabull2365]

Yeah, I'd love to hear what had already separated before that comet showed up and what diverged after. I'd love to hear a similar video discussing mammals back then. Were there therian mammals in the Cretaceous? Eutherian? If there were, how many different lineages survived to the present?

[@The_WhitePencil]

*asteroid also yes, mammals existed before the creataceous,

[@fireblaze8491]

4:50 Omanyte i choose you

[@Jatt2613]

Started watching this, and as I got in was just thinking, this is a more in-depth Sci Show video than normal. Then I remembered it was Eons. Silly Hank, being in so many different things. :P

[@kamerad_marzuki3631]

Meanwhile: Gastropods chilling in the ocean floor.

[@Vulcano7965]

Great Video, Ammonites are so important for paleozoic/mesozoic stratigraphy! But, and I know you can't get every detail in your short educational videos, I have to add, that true ammonites didn't appeared until the end of the triassic period. First the Gonatites appeared from the carboniferous until the permian. From the Permian to the end of the triassic the ceratitidas dominated. They all are seperated by their complexication of their shell sutures (Goniatites - simple, ceratitidas - intermediate, ammonites - (very) complex). Not very important but neat little detail.

[@DarkChocolateMilkshake]

I think Octopuses might be my favourite animals like, ever. I'd honestly love to learn more about them!

[@JRPGGUY]

Evolution is very interesting. subbed

[@falsehoodrefuted]

I didn't here any exanations of evolution, just fesriptio s of what they think happened with huge jumps between millions of years and a few words to patch the gaps. But its an interesting video though!

[@heatherb812]

Ben Official This channel largely covers evolution; or at least certain evolutionary processes which species undergo to become what they are today. So I don’t see the point of your comment... Also, cephalopods losing their shell IS an evolutionary process. They can’t possibly patch the exact process that fills the gaps as, a) there are gaps in our knowledge which are gradually being filled (don’t forget that it took hundreds of millions of years of very gradual changes to get the species we recognize today) and b) this is not a biology lecture hall series; it’s a series compiled of short evolutionary explanations to get the knowledge ball rolling. It’s up to people to do their own further research if they’re so inclined. It WOULD be really cool if this channel looked into making longer, more in-depth videos on the evolution of all these species, however!

[@jaschabull2365]

Thanks for making a video about my favourite animal class! Real cool to hear more about these guys! There are tons of things I'm curious about, but the one that comes to mind right now is the bat. I've heard quite a bit about the origin of avian flight, but mammalian flight is something I've heard just about nothing about in terms of how it could've developed slowly. What good did skin between the fingers do to the bats' ancestors?

[@Caun-88]

Cameroceras is one of the coolest ancient creatures ever, imagine a jet-propelled telephone pole going zipping around hunting things in ancient seas.

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

Would have liked for them to explain that they figured out how the siphuncle works by examining modern nautiloids.

[@Toast375]

*Squidward learning about his ancestors* *Also Squidward regretting not having shells to poke SpongeBob*

[@PseudoAccurate]

I'm happy every time I learn something new about cephalopods.

[@stevesellers-wilkinson7376]

That was really interesting. I wish I'd done more of this during my degree - instead of the boring crap like intracellular biochemical signalling pathways. Subscribed... I'll be watching a lot more of this channel! Thank you!
