The arthropods used wagons, led by horses and cattle. Similar to pioneers in the 1800s, the arthropods packed up their belongings and headed to land, in hopes to build a better life. The journey was long, and many difficulties arose along the way, but there was promise of good job opportunites on land. Many arthropods even believed they could become millionaires by moving to land. Eventually, they were able to make the voyage, settle down, and most lived comfortable lives with their families.
That's because the title isn't a question, its a statement. "How life came to land" is not "How did life come to land?" The point of the title is just to tell you how life came to land, so that if you were asked how life came to land, you could say, Life came to land through the arthropods. They used their jointed appendages in order to walk on land, eat, get sensory information, and even fly.
Dear Filmmaker, I would like to record a probable mistake. The World Register of Marine Species is 99% complete in terms of Recent, marine species and Mollusca has 47,405 species while the class crustacea have 51,999 marine, Recent species. And the phylum arthropoda has 57,006 species. So, Arthropoda is more diverse in species level than mollusca, on the contrary of what s been stated in this video.
Thanks MrWp! @Vitopitre The full videos are always uploaded to the TED-Ed RUclips channel. We say "view full lesson' because the videos are only part of the overall "Lessons" that the educators are creating. The full lessons are on the TED-Ed website & include open-answer q's, multiple choice q's & more resources to enhance understanding. TED-Ed BETA also allows you to create a lesson around ANY video on RUclips or to tweak & repurpose an existing Lesson (including this one). Hope that helps!
sorry, i made it all up. but i could continue if you want!! After the migration to land, the arthropods faced the problems of starting a community. Because they were arthropods, they could not farm crops, build houses, or create banking systems. they had to rely purely on instincts if they wanted to make it. by around the mid cenezoic era, mollusks began migrating to land too, because of the shell rush. The arthropods soon became a minority on land, and were oppressed by the mollusks.
This is what REALLY fascinates me: the advancement of life as far as the universe is concerned. It really sucks that so many discoveries will be made AFTER I die. That's the main reason I have to live as long as possible and to pass on my scientific literacy.
It would be comforting to think that there were an afterlife.A place where we could all have a second chance at existence.I doubt that most would refuse eternal damnation if the alternative were nonexistence.The archeological evidence however seems to suggest that early humans may have used the idea of an afterlife to alleviate the anxiety of being smart enough to understand their own mortality.It probably gave them a sense of purpose,as I'm sure it does you.
Nice, up until your point on velcro.. that was actually inspired by burdock seeds sticking to fabric so technically plants. But nonetheless a good point aha :)
Slow and steady wins the race. This reminds me of how that small mammal won the battle for survival against the dinosaurs and eventually resulted in us humans. When and if we become extinct it'll be interesting to see which animal rules.
You can hate me for my beliefs, I don't really care, but I think it's time that us Christians started looking at our planet and our existence through a more scientific view.
So why are they not uploading the full lesson? And why do they not even announce that in the video? O.k. - they do in the description, but as you can see from the comments - most people don't read the description...
I just don't understand how an ant could evolve from a large crab, not saying it did but just like how a common ancestor which was large or small could evolve into something small or large respectively.
2015 now it's from LAND to SEA story, "Death Valley's First Life Came by Land, Not by Sea" Relying on evidence from Southwestern deserts, a biologist debunks an evolutionary theory that assumes continental sterility for Precambrian life.
We humans have gotten everything from nature. Inspiration from nature created almost everything around you right now. Honestly life is sacred, a little ant feels as much pain as you do if someone were to crush you. We evolved from these creatures and if you don't like it, leave. Now.
Wrong title. It should be called "Which animal conquered land first", not "How life came to land". And are mollusks really the most numerous animals in the ocean? I personally doubt it.
We are the apex predators of this world right now, no question. but i have a feeling there will be insects here long after we're gone. and snails. and all sorts of other things.
Well, crabs evolved into spiders, I believe. And they change sizes throughout the years to accomodate for living conditions. An ancestral species that soon becomes overpopulated could grow smaller over time to reduce competition and limits on food.
ugh arthropods never "invented" flight. i know it looks like im being picky but its phrases like these that can be really confusing to people studying evolutionary biology, it makes you think that the insect needed wings, so it somehow made wings.
Well it kind of did. According to the video the life came to land in the form of arthropods. It was however answered in a way that was a tad bit too convoluted. I think the videos might want to focus a bit more on conveying information rather than being artsy and... well thought provoking (but in a "not that great way"!)
Herrsus, yes, probably not the best verbiage for me to use given the proper definition of "scientific theory", I mean to say that many of the assertions cannot rise past the level of "theory" (general use of term), and therefore cannot rise to the level of "theory" (scientific term). i.e. What observation or experiment could possibly confirm that insects grew the first wings 100 million years ago? etc, etc. .
**continued from previous** The arthropods were soon enslaved and force to grow cotton. The slave trade began to grow, and soon amphibians joined in. but soon enough, the amphibians began turning into dinosaurs, and didnt need slaves. they encouraged the mollusks to stop slavery of arthropods, starting crabolitionist movement. With the election of mollusk president Abra-clam lincoln, civil war erupted. The crabolitionists won after a long struggle, and the arthropods regained their freedom.
makes the sci--fi shows more understandable now huh? mammals/mollusks (humans and relatives) vs the the insectoids (arthropods), and the reptilians as a neutral enemy. sorry, everybody gotta nerd out once in a while, lol
What if... metal-creatures-created-not-by-evolution or intelligent-machines will be everywhere in the ocean in the next few years? You know, their creator might want to make a colony under the sea, and they'd need them to gather resources and build structures.
Interesting content, but a let down given the title. No explanation of how life came to land!
This must be the best video to watch when really high or stoned.
I'm so stoned right now. And also disturbed.
Can confirm.
the ending's a bit dark, and i like it that way!
+A Tamborello well explains all those knights fighting snails.
yea right
btw your profile pic means the world to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Yeah, agree 😸
Agentpdx ?
Yeah somehow make me want to kill it :V
Fantastic video! From the close-ups to the narration, I loved it all!
This didn't tell me anything about how life came to land.
It came on land with joint foot.
I love this snarky snail!
This mollusk has great diction.
😂😂😂
Amazing music.
And this video is different than the other ones by ted ed. Liked this one too.
Consciousness is by far the most amazing thing in the universe.
That moment when 1.5 speed seems normal!

Love these macro-type videos. Keep them coming, TED!

20000 leagues under the sea is the best book ever!
Pfff Twilight is million times better!

Idk making a video takes alot of time so maybe they are not up to date

Love the narration and footage!
Just saying, the insects didn't "invent" flight, they just evolved and eventually achieved the ability to fly using wings.
They were the first ones to evolve fligth, so we can say metaphorically that they "invented" it.
Watch it again, it does answer the question. arthropods were the first out of the ocean - the land crustaceans we know as insects.
I fell asleep over this ASMR.
sorry, i made it all up. but i could continue if you want!!

this... well this was amazing... beautiful just beautiful
Aarthrapods.....LOVE THE WAY YOU TELL IT!....
Dayum nature you scary with a soft and calming voice.
In science, theory is the highest level and explanation can achieve... I think you mean something else...
Don't forget velvet worms!
This is what REALLY fascinates me: the advancement of life as far as the universe is concerned. It really sucks that so many discoveries will be made AFTER I die. That's the main reason I have to live as long as possible and to pass on my scientific literacy.

Mankind rules the space
This is beautiful.
I like this kind of video for a biological setting just as much as I like physics videos written in doodles.
What a voice! Besides, great images too
3:55 who the hell shot that ? Amazing !
Nice, up until your point on velcro.. that was actually inspired by burdock seeds sticking to fabric so technically plants. But nonetheless a good point aha :)
Slow and steady wins the race. This reminds me of how that small mammal won the battle for survival against the dinosaurs and eventually resulted in us humans. When and if we become extinct it'll be interesting to see which animal rules.
This made my skin crawl... shivers * good video though
The first animals to go on land used mods. The developer then accepted those mods and allowed all other players to play in the next update.
They actually used the fact that they were amphibians.
This was awesome!
"Who knows who'll end up ruling this Ocean Planet."
wow I found this really interestin' thx
You can hate me for my beliefs, I don't really care, but I think it's time that us Christians started looking at our planet and our existence through a more scientific view.
2:44 nailed it!
i posted more than one comment, so make sure you read them both! i may continue this epic tale when i have more time... until then, enjoy!
end scares me
The ending got me really thinking.
is there something special about the intro music? it is so relaxing and interesting.
my bio teacher in high school always said phrases like that! and i was always thinking like "thats NOT how it works!"
So why are they not uploading the full lesson?
And why do they not even announce that in the video?
O.k. - they do in the description, but as you can see from the comments - most people don't read the description...
Interesting how they've had much more time to develop and somehow don't appear to have developed such complex brains as us.
absolutely adore this "nat geo"esque video!!!
The video was informational and all, but it didn't answer the question asked in the title.
I just don't understand how an ant could evolve from a large crab, not saying it did but just like how a common ancestor which was large or small could evolve into something small or large respectively.
2015 now it's from LAND to SEA story, "Death Valley's First Life Came by Land, Not by Sea" Relying on evidence from Southwestern deserts, a biologist debunks an evolutionary theory that assumes continental sterility for Precambrian life.
Her accent is lovely. :)
This is a nice and interesting video - but it does not answer the question asked in the title!
Or am I wrong?
We humans have gotten everything from nature. Inspiration from nature created almost everything around you right now. Honestly life is sacred, a little ant feels as much pain as you do if someone were to crush you. We evolved from these creatures and if you don't like it, leave. Now.
5:03 crustaceans are first place in mass in the oceans for animals because of krill so mollusks will stay 2nd place
Amazing video🦋❤️❤️
I think that may have been the point :) It was awesome, though!
I like Annelids. Girl, what up with calling them lowly? You best be meaning by them traveling close to the floor.
Wrong title. It should be called "Which animal conquered land first", not "How life came to land". And are mollusks really the most numerous animals in the ocean? I personally doubt it.
I just died laughing. Greatest reply Ive gotten on this comment yet.
We are the apex predators of this world right now, no question. but i have a feeling there will be insects here long after we're gone. and snails. and all sorts of other things.
Well, crabs evolved into spiders, I believe. And they change sizes throughout the years to accomodate for living conditions. An ancestral species that soon becomes overpopulated could grow smaller over time to reduce competition and limits on food.
I felt the urge to say, rule all of the planet!!!
ugh arthropods never "invented" flight. i know it looks like im being picky but its phrases like these that can be really confusing to people studying evolutionary biology, it makes you think that the insect needed wings, so it somehow made wings.
Thanks so are you
love that voice
They never said crabs were first on land they said Arthropods were first, and there is a variety of tiny arthropods in the ocean.
4:01 centipede looks like a lambo :D
Great video:)
beautiful snail :)
I love how they talk like this is fact
Well it kind of did. According to the video the life came to land in the form of arthropods. It was however answered in a way that was a tad bit too convoluted.
I think the videos might want to focus a bit more on conveying information rather than being artsy and... well thought provoking (but in a "not that great way"!)
Can you cite this? I'd love to read more.
very interesting
It feels like this was directed at children.
Did you really watch the video?
Jump to 2:38...
Well, they are responsible for most of reproduction of plants. Since they transport a lot of pollen.
i kept feeling a tickle while watching this video
Herrsus, yes, probably not the best verbiage for me to use given the proper definition of "scientific theory", I mean to say that many of the assertions cannot rise past the level of "theory" (general use of term), and therefore cannot rise to the level of "theory" (scientific term). i.e. What observation or experiment could possibly confirm that insects grew the first wings 100 million years ago? etc, etc. .
I was waiting for the snail to get smashed...
So no animation from Ted ed, its kinda weird!!
But naturalistic.
That snail is smarter than me. Goddamit.
Well obviously, I was kidding, but great work man!
Really? I thought it was on how gecko paws can stick to walls and whatnot. :D
I still wish to know how life came to land :\
Imagination, that's how.
How did they breathe???
Check out the walking sharks of Australia, epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum).
But what about Tiktaalik being the first land inhabitant?
Tiktaalik and other "fishapods" were the first vertebrates to come to land. Plants and invertebrates predate that transition by a little bit.
Julie Reizner
Oh yeah true thx :)
I loved it
We're just that freaking socially complex.
It was Sandey from sponge bob who first went to land!!
**continued from previous**

God put animals on land and in the sea. That's how life came to land.
the snail is scary
