It really does put how new multi-cellular life is in the grand scheme of things

[@trueanimationfan6542]

So I did the math. If this video were to cover everything from Earth's formation (4.5 BYA) to the death of the last stars in the universe (120 trillion years hence), and maintained the same time travel speed of roughly 1 billion years per minute, you would be staring at your screen for a grand total of 83 days and 8 hours.

[@PaleoEdits]

I never thought the big bang would sound like a relatively recent event 😅

[@aepokkvulpex]

Oh I love this, I need to know more. When would the black hole era begin, and other landmark future events? Like the sun going supergiant?

[@phoenixkingtheo]

Outstanding video! Even as someone who's been interested in the prehistoric world, it always boggles my mind how old the earth is vs how long complex life has been on it. A great representation of that timeline

[@bladehunter2747]

when your chilling and this man drops a banger

[@germanomagnone]

it's amazing to see what had happened from the big bang to today (and MANY people think that dinosaurs are "old")

[@jamesgalaxy8013]

Truly a masterpiece

Wow. I had to stop the video to give my gratitude for the great aspect of the project. Hard work here. Danke! Merci! Gracias! Gracie! Thanks! Obrigado!

Beautiful. just beautiful

Breathtaking but kept out many important aspects.

Well of course, it's a 4 minute timelapse of 4.6 billion years.

It’s like spore in real life

Holy moly, that was a flash from the past! I completely forgot about that game

[@ShinGoji2024]

Awesome

[@senithumevnaka]

Incredible and outstanding experience for learning about evolution.I loved it❤

[@Jpteryx]

Wow! I expected this to be Phanerozoic-focused, but you really covered the entire history of life!

[@PaleoEdits]

Pretty much did that already with the "walking with" timelapse. Might do it again when Life on our Planet releases, if it is any good. Anyways, the precambrian is fascinating in its own right, especially if one is open to learning a bit of biochemistry. Just read "The Vital Question" by Nick Lane if you get the chance. Although a bit technical, it's absolutely trippy.

[@Jpteryx]

@@PaleoEdits If it wasn't clear, I was very happy you didn't just focus on the Phanerozoic!

[@PaleoEdits]

@@Jpteryx Yeah no I got that, but I still thought it was worth mentioning :)

I wish we could get a series that would look into the future of our planet like The Future is Wild. They would then call it Future Worlds.

You see… *Earth is a novel.* 4.5 billion years ago, there stood a page. This page was empty, a flaming and unforgiving hell of emptiness and uselessness. None did dare read this page, for what use is a blank canvas? Until some time later, a pencil had touched the paper, taming the flames and titling it “Earth”, and sowing in the first two words to the first chapter of the book. *Water and DNA.* With quick succession, the pencil intricately sowed word after word, letter after letter. It created the first characters: prokaryotes. The characters swept across the word-flooded pages, called Oceans, and explodes in their diversity. As the pencil continued to write, the bacteria birthed new characters through the changes they made to their world. And through this, the pencil wrote some more. At every turn, characters were erected and began to play free roles in the story, to each their own unique tale and appearance. Although at some points in the novel, some of the figures in the novel were left behind to make room for new characters. And for many pages, sprouted a character so important it would change the story to their own will: a character named Man. Man took their free will and constructed the story with the pencil, bending and shaping the world to their desire. That’s when man discovered fire, and from that point on, Man had achieved a lot of amazing things and events that made the story more enrapturing. The book continues on today! We live as the characters of the story of Earth, and as we interact with other characters, some of us do wonder: what comes next of the book? Are their other novels with their own stories besides our own? What will we read of them and what will they read of us? For now, it’s time to rise and stare at the desk lamp, nicknamed the Sun, and help the pencil write a better story. Enjoy your tale friends. It will be a long long reading ride.

YHWH created all things and sustains all things, He chose to form life on this planet through the process of evolution bringing forth us which He formed in His image.

Science (in this case cladistics) wouldn't say we are cousins of apes but are apes. Nothing wrong with that, might help you respect other apes as opposed to diminish humanity.
