Isn't it funny that at different times of the history of life on Earth, different creatures rose to the top? Yet, it ultimately came down to a see-saw act between Reptiles and Mammals. I mean sure, not counting the events in the early sea, but starting with the life on the land you had giant frogs (Amphibians) ruling, but competing with early reptile, and then after that it was early mammals against reptiles. Then reptiles replaced the dominate mammals, and now mammals have replaced the once dominate reptiles. Wild.

If you think about it, amphibians and arthropods came from the earliest animals, reptiles came from amphibians, birds and mammals came from reptiles. So all it really is is just refinement. You can see it now as well. Think of any biome, and the apex predator is likely a mammal. Tundra = wolf, Savannah = lion, ocean = dolphins etc. Humans are also examples of it, we're apex predators.
@WilAdams3 жыл бұрын
@@Ice-ps9yo There are a couple of problems with your post. A) in my first line I stated that 'at different times...different creatures rose to the top'--that covers birds, and arthropods, and amphibians. B) my point was that sure insects dominated the land, but once they were deposed they did not rise up again. Same for birds and amphibians. The difference was that once reptiles arose (Mammals were in the shadows) they fell--just as the bugs, and frogs had done before them and as the birds would do long after them--mammals rose to the top. Once they fell, the retiles reclaimed the top rung. Once they were toppled mammals came back. Look around the world, do we see any retiles that are hiding in our shadows?

It was instead caused by a bizarre cascade of a whole bunch of disasters happening at the same time, famines, earthquakes, plagues, pirates, etc. Which makes sense, you can bounce back from a disaster but not from a generations-long squeeze. The Great Dying was probably something like that. Just one thing after another, for an entire age.

I like to think the extinction came in three waves, which combines the three mass extinctions altogether: 1. Pangaea begins forming millions of years prior to the main extinction, causing small volcanism in key areas of the world which would’ve started a massive pangaeic forest fire which resulted in mass desertification 2. A meteor strikes the surface, cracking the earth and killing a significant population of earth, but does not wipe out the ocean life 3. However, it strikes near a fault line, cascading into the largest volcanic chain eruption in history, causing a basalt flow to flood whatever inland oceans were left and poisoning all life across the world, ending the Permian for good.

The Siberian Traps were caused by a double antipodal impact on Antarctica at Marie Byrd Land and a secondary one on Wilkes Land. The remnants of the crater are scattered across the Pacific Basin, one half as the Marianas Arch and the other the Vanuatu Arch, both with 1,500 km diameter. It is a much more coherent theory than that of volcanic arcs formed by colliding tectonic plates in regions where those plates do not move in opposite directions.

Negative. That is not a coherent theory because igneous rock formations are the result of volcanic eruptions, not meteor strikes halfway across the globe. Time to turn off the Ancient Aliens and hit up the library.

@@Peyote1312 Yep. Perhaps I should have read Marinova's theory about the 1,000 km minimum size for an impact crater to cause an antipodal crust disruption and flood basalts. Oh, wait, I have read... What is it, "Ancient Aliens""? I wonder if Wegener's theory about continental drift was received with the same level of biased arrogance I find on the net.

@@Paka1918 Yes, I believed that until recently, and for me the antipodal impact to the Deccan Traps would be located at the present Hawaii hotspot, since the Cretaceous impact occurred even more to East than its present location at Chicxulub (technically, then Yucatan was located closer to Africa, both tectonic plates have drifted since then). But my conclusion based on recent rocks dating of the oldest extinct volcanoes of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain places that impact as the cause of the Cenomanian-Turonian extinction event. It was antipodal to the Madagascar flood basalts when Indian plate was at that region. Maybe Shiva impact theory is not so outlandish after all, but I can get no clear evidence for that. The Cretaceous extinction is a complex event, explain my evidence and conclusions is something I can not do here. it is a long story, I explain it at my blog.

Outside of marine animals lower on the food chain, I can't think of any larger animal genera prospering in the permian that went extinct in the great dying. Acanthodians, trilobites and eurypterids were already in a very long decline, with very few species living by then. Cartilaginous and bony fish seem to have not lost as much diversity. Ammonites suffered, but quickly bounced back and remained a keystone species. Why is that? Also, since marine biodiversity in the permian is very poorly understood due to lack of many fossils from then, we can't know with any accuracy how many species died.

The craziest thing to me is how long and short this event was. So much life was lost in a relatively short amount of time on Earth, yet it was a slow process that lasted many lifetimes, the Mesozoic meteor extinction wasn’t as great but it was so sudden. In a weird way, humanity is artificially creating the next Permian Extinction. We’re not gonna cause an apocalypse by nuking everything in a sudden flash (well we might 😕) but we’re gonna slowly alter and change the world making it uninhabitable to many species and probably orders

I've watched a lot of videos on this topic, and yours has been the only one to even fleetingly mention the similarity between what caused this, the worst mass extinction in the history of the planet, and what humans are today doing to the atmosphere ourselves. I am baffled that this connection is never drawn or mentioned, when this event is our best knowledge of and warning about the true danger we face at the rate we are going. I hear these discussions of "adapting to climate change" etc all the time in our media, always being super conservative about the real dangers, when if we were a sane species, we would be talking loudly and openly and commonly about how the worst mass extinction ever was preceded by the same conditions we are creating, and be willing to take radical and immediate action to avert such a potential outcome, simply from the perspective of utterly selfish self-preservation. Instead it's like most people, even if they acknowledge the reality of human caused climate change, are totally oblivious to how dangerous it actually is. Who cares about our potential extinction, NATO has to keep moving east, so we can... finally defeat Russia? Finish what Hitler started? Even if you buy the propaganda and see those as good goals, none of it matters the slightest bit in the face of what the next few centuries have for us if we don't fundamentally change our ways.
