Hey, I love your videos, but I think this one could have been a bit better; The AI images are not really that accurate (I get that animation can be expensive, but a lot of the AI thing at best only have a superficial resemblance to their counterparts in the fossil record) 4-legged vertebrates didn't get their start in the Permian period, they were on land since the late Devonian, and Amniotes existed since the carboniferous It would have been nice to go over the split of Amniotes between diapsids/sauropsids (reptile line amniotes) and synapsids(mammal line amniotes) in more detail Also most zoologists prefer the term "stem-mammal" to "mammal-like reptile" when talking about non-mammalian synapsids like dimetrodon and Gorgonopsids.

The Synapsids were NOT cold-blooded, as for Dimetrodon it was a genus part of a group that used to be referred to as Pelycosaurs and it lived during the early Permian period (Around 295-272 million years ago), current scientific studies show that the Dimetrodon's sail was very likely NOT used for thermoregulation, Gorgonopsids appeared at the end of the Permian period and more much more advanced than Dimetrodon.

The Permian extinction event may still be killing today. Coals and peat laid down at this time are used as fuels often in homes and contain volcanic silicates similar to asbestos which could explain the Asian female lung cancer cluster. The Siberian Traps may have been caused by a large body from space punching a hole straight through the crust which oozed lava for a long time.

[@symmetry08]

Volcanoes do not erupt for some geological reasons, however, it was big celestial event that influenced our solar system overall. Big objects entered our solar system that disrupted harmony between planets, thus moving some back and forth, and some even were hurled into open space. Asteroid can enter into path of earth due to this large object influences around, as it moved so many asteroids into inner solar orbits, some of which were dragged inside from out there.

[@HoarderMasterzXD]

Living during the Permian Period, which lasted from about 299 to 252 million years ago, would be a vastly different experience compared to life today. Here are some key aspects to consider about life in that era: ### Environment - **Geography and Climate:** The Permian was characterized by a supercontinent called Pangaea, which created a variety of environments. The climate was predominantly dry, with vast deserts and some humid regions where life thrived. - **Atmosphere:** The atmosphere contained higher levels of oxygen compared to today, but it also had higher carbon dioxide levels, which could have influenced climate and vegetation. ### Flora and Fauna - **Plant Life:** The landscape was dominated by gymnosperms (like conifers) and other seed plants, as well as ferns and cycads. There were no flowering plants, which appeared later. - **Animal Life:** The Permian saw the dominance of amphibians and the early ancestors of reptiles. It was also a period of significant diversity in marine life, including mollusks, brachiopods, and primitive fish. - **Terrestrial Life:** Insects were abundant, and there were early forms of synapsids (mammal-like reptiles) and diapsids (precursors to modern reptiles and birds). ### Daily Life - **Survival:** If you were a small vertebrate or an insect, your life would involve finding food, avoiding predators, and adapting to changing environmental conditions. Life would be focused on survival in a competitive ecosystem. - **Predators and Competition:** The presence of large predators, such as the synapsids, would make the environment dangerous, requiring various survival strategies, like burrowing or hiding. ### Events and Extinction - **The Permian-Triassic Extinction:** The latter part of the Permian is marked by the most significant mass extinction in Earth's history, known as the Great Dying. If you lived during this time, you would be facing dramatic shifts in the environment, leading to a massive die-off of species. This extinction event would wipe out about 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates. ### Culture and Society - **Complex Societies:** It’s important to note that there were no human societies during the Permian Period. If you were an early vertebrate or insect, you wouldn’t have culture, language, or social structures like those found in modern human societies. In summary, living during the Permian would expose you to a unique array of flora and fauna, a variety of ecosystems, and very different environmental conditions. Survival would be a critical focus, amidst significant evolutionary changes and eventual catastrophic events that would reshape life on Earth.

Packed with nutrients and has protein. 4.5gs of protein per 100grams of fern and it also has 26.6 grams of vitamin C per 100 grams among many other vitamins and minerals. Typically though, you want to eat them before the fronds unfurl so, you would only be able to eat them for a month or two every year.

Humans cannot survive for long with less than 19.5% or more than 23.5% oxygen. Pangaea existed from 300 million to 200 million years ago. Most of this time oxygen concentration was either too high or too low. Tolerable levels of oxygen only existed between 260 and 270 million years ago. So, practically speaking, you could not have survived in Pangaea.

The Permian mass extinction was a far greater mass extinction event than the one that wiped out most dinosaurs. We are told that cataclysmic volcanic and magma eruptions in the Serbian Traps (Russia) caused a glacial period on earth. But were these eruptions just natural geological events that happened at the same time in the same area by just coincidence? Or was the cause of the eruptions in the wide area known as the Serbian Traps due to the same cause that wiped out later dinosaurs: a giant asteroid that crashed into Russia and began a process of dominoes falling leading to a mass extinction event?

Hey how about you do what if the Appalachians were the height of the Himalayas? I'm from Atlanta and I would like to know the effects I would experience

[@prismfireproductions3772]

As someone who has an interest in weather (and a former SC resident now living in VT) I can give you some basic insight. For simplicity, let's use the average height of the entire range (20k feet). Summer: During the summer, the East Coast and southeast would be far more humid than it is currently. This is due to moisture transport from both the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean meeting a literal wall that prevents it from dispersing more than it does currently. This would raise heat index levels to dangerous extremes, with Extreme Heat Warnings becoming the commonplace from Georgia all the way up to roughly Massachusetts and Coastal Maine. Winter: As noted, the East Coast would have higher humidity. While this would keep temperatures more on the "moderate/mild side (due to colder Arctic air being denser and taking moisture out the air, something harder to do in this scenario), that does not mean snowfall is impossible. In fact, the effects of Cold Air Damming (when an Arctic high is positioned over Eastern Canada/New England and cold air funneled south by the Appalachians) would be amplified due to the taller mountains plus the reinforced cold shot provided by the glaciers at the peaks. Areas further south (GA, Carolinas, VA) would see increased chances of snowfall while areas further north (NY, VT, NH, Maine) would have Extreme Cold Warnings and more frequent blizzards from extratropical winter cyclones. Jet Stream: With the taller peaks, the Jet Stream would both be diverted north and increased in strength due to the "squeeze" the taller Apps would have on its path. This would cause warmer temperatures in Southeastern Canada (warmer air being shunted north) making it have a more temperate climate similar to how the present day New England climate is. In turn, the Northern Jet Stream would have a stronger flow across the Atlantic and causing a chain reaction since the Jet Stream goes around the whole globe. Troughs (dips) and ridges (raised bends) would be more prevalent on a global scale and could at times reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic due to increased troughal shear, but at the same time heat domes over the western and central United States would become worse due to the ridge having a harder time moving eastward on the account of the taller mountains blocking its path (same goes for the Bermuda High Heat Dome sliding west, Georgia would be the path of least resistance). Precipitation: While the East Coast would become more humid, that would not directly translate to more precipitation. The "shadow" zone from the valleys of North Carolina up through West Virginia and Pennsylvania (where snowfall maps have lower averages) would have an even further contrast to areas further east (cyclonic snowfall on the coast) and immediately on the western side of the range (where the greatest snowfall would be). A good example is to look at how western China (immediately in the Himalayas shadow) is a desert, but since there would be a local source of constant humidity (Atlantic Ocean) wouldn't have to worry about that happening, but droughts would not be fun. That is not including the fact Vermont would become similar to Denver climate wise (but at 3.5x the altitude) making most of the state uninhabitable. Flash Floods during the spring would also be a major concern, but hey at least ski season would be fun.
