How the First Plants Came to Land: Bryophytes and the Early Land Plants

The evolutionary journey of how plants transitioned from water to land. We'll also discuss bryophytes, the most primitive lineage of plants alive today, which might somewhat resemble these early terrestrial pioneers.

I studied this on my second year of ecology in uni in a course where we studied algae and land plants (with the exception of angiosperms which had their own course) and you explain it in a much better way than professors. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! That must have been a wonderful study :) Angiosperms deserve at least two videos in this series about the evolutionary history of plants, so hopefully I can complement the angiosperm course you did with my future videos.

@@roccov1972 I’m currently studying biology at the University of Amsterdam (where I’m based), and I’m also working on a minor in geology/paleontology at the University of Utrecht. I’d love to pursue a masters in paleobiology and maybe even a PhD in that field.

@@EchoesofEvolution Awesome. I'm really pleased that there is someone with your background providing an education on these topics for those of us who are not learned. Many thanks!
