    Everyone focuses on ancient animals, but it's nice to see something about ancient plants.
    You know what's interesting? Grass. Grass came about shortly after the dinosaurs died off and dramatically altered the environment. It made forest fires more frequent (grass does well in forest fires; it burns quickly, but it grows back, and with less competition from other plants), it created the conditions for grasslands, created a niche for grass-eating herbivores, and come to think of it, created the environment that humans first appeared in.

      Painter Rex Actually sharks first appeared in the fossil record about 425 million years ago. By contrast true insects only about 400 million years ago and trees about 385 million years ago. It is a bit scary when you put it that way. LOL!

    • @mandobob
      @mandobob 7 лет назад +76

      Corals date from the Cambrian (approx 500 MY before present), Corals have had several perturbations that resulted in large groups of corals becoming extinct. Interestingly, the coral morphology during these perturbations along with the coral "niche" were sometime filled with other organisms that mimicked corals such as Cretaceous Rudists bivalves.

      Technically, everything that is alive or has lived has a common ancestor. You have a common ancestor with a cactus. It's just that a bird and a crocodile have a much more recent common ancestor.

    It's amazing how much plants have affected the history of life without them animal life would be impossible, and when ever plants change everything changes, animals couldn't go on land until plants did, the development of large plants (kind of trees) increased the oxygen in the atmosphere allowing for all the Carboniferous bugs, can't wait for the next episode!

    Please do an episode on the vegetation during the Carboniferous, because of the incredible record of that time.

    • @rodrigoborges3876
      @rodrigoborges3876 7 лет назад

      Head over to scishow, Kallie talked about the Cambrian explosion a little bit on her interview there. It's actually very likely that the Cambiran explosion wasn't that massive of a diversification of life when compared to the precambrian. Kallie mentions in the interview that fossile data becomes so abundant by the Cambrian mostly because it's when animals went from being mostly squishy and gelatinous to hard-shelled arthropod-like creatures, which fossilize much more easily, thus giving us more info on them than what came before.

    • @mksabourinable
      @mksabourinable 7 лет назад

      I recommend the documentary series 'Kingdom of Plants', it's a 3 part series, and one of them (I think the first one even) goes into this with more detail.
      There's also a full fledged 40min documentary on RUclips that is exclusively about the evolution of flowering plants, primarily talking about the first flower and whatnot.
      Oh also there's the documentary series on Netflix from BBC called 'Life' and they have an episode about plants. The series is just about adaptation, so like. It has some info there too.
      (I.... uh..... really like plants, so I end up watching a bunch of plant documentaries lol)

    Archaefructus is about ~125 million years old, it is not the first. There are other angiosperm fossils from that age or slightly older, even from Liaoning. People call it the 'first' because when it was discovered it was thought to from the Late Jurassic. Other Aptian angiosperms have been found in China (Jehol biota), Argentina (Ticó Flora), North America (Potomac Group), Portugal (Torres Vedras ), and Spain (Las Hoyas).

    Correction: Angiosperms don't have to be pollinated by animals! Many (including grasses and oak trees) are wind-pollinated, while some cycads have insect pollinators. The petals used to attract pollinators (in species that do that) and the options the carpel provides for different seed dispersal structures, though, is probably the more important innovations.

    Even grass has flowers. We cut it too soon for them to form. Also the blossoms are green-pale green so it blends in with the rest of the plant.

      Brycen Cheney I suppose when one of the pollinating insects fed nectar(technically part of the flower I suppose) to its "queen" or whatever :P

      hmm, well it depends on what species, because im sure some insects and animals would give flowers as food to their mates, but if you mean as for humans, well then thats another story.

    125 million years ago... "One of the 1st flowers bloomed... Archaefructus Iiaoninsis...". My mind just blew up.
    How did that happen, how do we know that, how many days was that unique flower alive, and what did my brain do to become lucky enough to now (or soon) hold the information in this video ??? ❤🌻 Yeah, my mind is totally blown.
    Request: what's the 1st symbiotic relationships?
    Thank You, Eon People, so much!

    Would have been interesting to quickly talk about why blooming/flowering plants are so abundant and successful. As far as I know it's because of the increased genetic variability made possible by that kind of pollination.
