I have, as part of my University class, had to answer quizzes based on these videos. Some of the least painful Uni work I've done in a while, I've actually really enjoyed this channel's content!

The Early Palaeocene is one of my favorite periods for this exact reason. I've always been fascinated on how long it took plants and animals to recover and how Earth's landscape looked back then. Please do more documentaries on the Palaeocene period!

[@obiwahndagobah9543]

For me too. Also the earliest Triassic is fascinating. I would also like to find a list, exhibition or documentary of most species so far known that survived these major extinctions, before they evolved into new things. Sort of the Creme de la Creme of the preceding age, that live in a changed world.

[@pauls5745]

remarkable how much finer definition has been given to the explosion of Paleocene diversity, how quickly it took off. just an eye blink in the grand scheme, less than 1 million years

[@deadairconversion]

Man, you guys put out some great content. No melodrama or filler- just facts and good storytelling.

Terrific documentary! This should be seen by more people.

You should do a video on the food chain collapses during the mass extinctions. You know, since animals can't live without food.

And what about the European (French) Danian and Palaeocene (Paris Basin: Rilley la Montagne) fossils? Besides mammals, there are Paleocene non-marine molluscs with gigantism, e.g. in Physidae, Glandina, Oleacina, etc.

[@peneloperafael8800]

Sometimes I'm looking at my cat resting beside of me and I'm thinking: Here we are, two mammals. Some day, long long time ago we were one species. When did our paths split? When was the moment, when one of us went left, and the other one went right? Was that in the final, 65 million years period, after the KT-event? Or was it before?

[@7inrain]

The most recent common ancestor between primates and cats probably was an ancestor of the magnorder Boreoeutheria and lived around 80 million years ago.

[@randymillhouse791]

Without plants, how did small mammals survive initially after the blast? No one speaks to this.

[@stigrynning]

I guess the answer is that there must have been some plants.

[@thegameranch5935]

Mushrooms, carcasses, surviving plants etc

How do I get to hangout with these guys? How amazing that must feel to discover an animal so ancient

[@spatrk6634]

you can get a job as amateur excavator pretty easily. my brother used to assist in roman burial ground excavations. pretty sure its the same with paleontologists. because they want cheap or volunteering work force to do the hard work. its usually volunteers and students doing it. but some dig sites are pretty big so they want more people you do the hard work of hauling rocks around and digging, archeologists or paleontologist will come with brushes afterwards and then you stay quiet to get near them, dont touch anything and listen to them what was cool about almost 2000 year old skeletons on first glance from even an amatuer was that their teeth were pretty healthy, nice natural shape, and white. shows how refined sugars are destroying our teeth in modern times

[@russpaxman3660]

Excellent video, Where mammals or proto mammals around long before the KT extinction event ?

[@spatrk6634]

mammals diverged around the same time as reptiles did from basal amniotes.. amniotes diverged into synapsids, diapsids and anapsids synapsids into mammals, diapsids into reptiles, and anapsids into (debatably)turtles and bunch of other extinct animals... all around the same time so yea, mammals were around long before kt extinction event. they just didnt manage to adapt fast enough to be competition to the dinosaurs. which proved in the end to be a lucky advantage because mammals more easily survived the extinction event because of being small and able to burrow

[@JK-ni1qe]

within 5-10 min, they found a bunch of fragile fossilized mammal bone that had just been sitting there on the surface for millions of years....uh okay

If darkness lasted years, how did any plant survive?

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Seeds. They can lie dormant for many years and then germinate. So even when mature plants are gone, seeds will eventually sprout and regenerate the plant communities

[@miquelescribanoivars5049]

Its also worth noting the continental states were almost ground zero as far as the asteroid was concerned, the vegetation recovery was probably quicker in other regions farther away, so chances are some broad leaf trees were already germinating soon after the initial impact winter in more secluded areas. The same is true for mammals, btw, in Western NA only 4 to 6 species of mice-sized mammals survived the impact, and, as far as we know, they might not had been ancestral to any of the later Puercan North American mammals (unless Protoungulatum turns out to be a basal ungulate, but that's debatable), newer species sort of pop out in the fossil record, which likely means they were immigrants from Asia through Beringia or Europe through Greenland, with even some exchanges from South America being possible, unfortunately we have a very poor fossil record from that age in those places 😅

To try to tech this stuff without visually showing cladograms and explaining the morphology over time from clade to clade is almost pointless. It's more of a jumbled mess. Cladistics and monophyletic taxonomy is the easiest way to learn. Watch Aron Ra's 50 part series 'Systematic Classification of Life'

Frustrating a scientist can't pronounce "species". Not "spee-shees".

[@spatrk6634]

It’s called palatalization. It’s really common in English. It’s also the reason why brigge became “bridge” and scip became “ship”. Considering the word comes from the Latin ‘speciēs’, pronounced more like ‘spek-ee-ays’ (in the Classical pronunciation), it’s hard for us to judge what may be the ‘correct’ pronunciation in English! ‘Spee-sheez’ is the preferred variant in the UK. Elsewhere, it can vary.

Because of these difficulties, some leading theorists have abandoned the Miller-Urey experiment and the “primordial soup” theory it is claimed to support. In 2010, University College London biochemist Nick Lane stated the primordial soup theory “doesn’t hold water” and is “past its expiration date.” \fn{13 [13.] Deborah Kelley, “Is It Time To Throw Out ‘Primordial Soup’ Theory?,” NPR (February 7, 2010). } Instead, he proposes that life arose in undersea hydrothermal vents. But both the hydrothermal vent and primordial soup hypotheses face another major problem. *Casey Luskin* *The Top Ten Scientific Problems with Biological and Chemical Evolution
