@Rhizosphere How well written...I nearly feel like I have been there now! It is probably worth of putting your thoughts and experiences into writing a little more often. Very enjoyable!!! Thank you very much for sharing! 👍💗
So much happened between the early carboniferous and the permian. I honestly don't know which era i love more, but the Permian is by *far* the strangest of the land-inhabited eras. Sometimes I kinda wonder what life would be like today had the end permian extinction never happened. I mean, life would be drastically different no matter *which* extinction didn't happen, but this one scenario in particular fascinates me.
Eons is a full-blown addiction of mine these days. I have the knowledge retention of a sedated springer spaniel but the hosts are so charming and the terminology is so accessible that its still fun to watch. Love you guys, thanks for keeping me sane during lockdowns 😭💕
Oh you seem to be curious ! I suggest you , after watching any of these videos, go to save subs and copy down the whole subtitles at once . Then paste them in notes. Now it looks like an article ! Give it a reading and highlight the most curious or important facts . 👍 Ofcourse its time taking, but i used to feel just like you before, that watching these videos are fun but we dont remember most of it. And then this idea struck me.
I remember Euchambersia from Walking with monsters. Therocephalians have always fascinated me with their adaptability. They were one of the few therapsid lineages to survive into the Triassic after the Permian extinction. There is good evidence they also had whiskers and whiskers are modified fur so therocephalians were likely covered in fur.
@@DiMadHatter Reminds me of an order of creatures a friend of mine did for his Dark Fantasy/Post Apocalyptic rpg which are basically venomous big cats (which .......... two players managed to take one and pet it). The concept is that they have a venomous saliva and when they groom themselves their claws and whiskers (which are basically like cacti spikes) become drenched in it and can deliver it to their prey/aggressor. The best idea he had was to have a species of those things be basically the universe's Shiba in both size, color schemes and temperament, but they are basically the forbidden Shiba as handling them could mean exposing yourself to a pretty potent neurotoxin that can paralyze you if you're not careful or even kill you if you were REALLY not careful. Idk why, but I just love the idea of cats that groom themselves with venomous saliva and even when they don't want to harm you they are still dangerous
Seriously. If this became the new format - Blake or Kallie hosting then deferring to the more specialized expert - I'd be very happy. It was nice seeing a new face and hearing a new speech pattern.
If anyone here is good in French, the scientist spoken about in this video, Julien Benoit, actually has also a RUclips channel about paleontology. His channel is called "Entracte Science". He makes fun video with his colleague but also graciously gave a French version of his lecture on mammal evolution on his channel.
Arachnid evolution is still quite mysterious and complicated particularly with the open questions of the phylogeny of chelicerates. Genetics studies indicate that horseshoe crabs are a sister group tot the hooded tick spiders which has morphological evidence supporting it as well. Horseshoe crabs appear far back in the Ordovician and is at a similar branch level of the arachnid tree suggesting their shared last common ancestors too had to have arisen by the Ordovician however that doesn't answer if they are or were true spiders. The oldest true spider fossils apparently date back to the carboniferous where they occurred alongside many other lineages of close relative "stem spiders' many of which based on Amber appear to have coexisted at least into the Cretaceous. Complex orb weaver like were present at least by the Jurassic where the oldest fossil web known is preserved in Amber. There are also rare imprint fossils too which together with amber is basically the spider fossil record. Then as we all know at the end of the Cretaceous really bad stuff happened due to the long list of spider groups I will quote Wikipedia "There appears to be a faunal turnover in the Cretaceous-Cenozoic interval, with the Cretaceous dominated by Synspermiata and Palpimanoidea, as well as enigmatic extinct families like the lagonomegopids, while the Cenozoic is dominated by RTA clade and araneoid spiders." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/brv.12559 Basically spiders were hit by the K-Pg extinction like everything else probably
@@Dragrath1 Every so often I come upon a reply or comment from someone who either knows his stuff or does the research on the fly just so some great knowledge can be shared with those in the class who give a crap. Thanks, Dragrath1, for your post.
I'm hoping for a video on the siats. I've been hoping for a long video on the baryonyx for ages, so I guess I continue to hope and wait. I have not been disappointed in the waiting though. So many wonderful topics of discussion.
This is the second time I've run into Franz Nopcsa this year. The Common Descent podcast did a whole episode on him last month. Weird synchronicity or the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon?
For people who don't speak french, he also has an English youtube channel named with his name. Search "Julien Benoit" on youtube and you should find it! ^^
Eons really needs a dinosaur behind a drum set to give our lovely end-of-show joke tellers a "bu-dum-dum-cha" : ) Thanks for your awesome work, Eonites xoxo
That Therocephalian is Euchamberisa, though I'm not sure how big they are, in "Walking with Monsters" they were the size of a Wolf in a sprawling posture, but research pages on this animal says that it was way smaller than that, maybe the same size as a Goanna Monitor Lizard, also Euchamberisa lived in southern Africa, and were way more diverse in the late Permian era between 256 to 255 million Years Ago, maybe they too survived "The Permian-Triassic Extinction" and when the Triassic Biodiversity began recovering 248 MYA they're numbers Mildly recovered, but throughout the Triassic they're numbers dwindled as the earliest True Dinosaurs appeared, and by the Late Triassic Epoch, about 216 MYA they then died out...
I would like to see a video explaining how we went from the same skin tone to all the different races and skin tones we have now. (Might be too simple but I like how Eons explains things)
when I was in fourth grade I did a report on Plateosaurus, long story short it is and always has been since then "my favorite dinosaur." It would be so awesome if you could do a story on them, pretty please with sugar on top, and thank you so very much!!! :)

I'd love to hear (and see) your guys' exposition on the amazing fauna (and flora) that has been preserved, and not only in Lägerstatten like Ashfall Fossil Beds (previously covered by you guys), but more generally so (paleobotanical sites may be included).
Well, no, because it literally is related to us, and much more closely than a majority of animal life on Earth. It's closer to us than all invertebrates, which make up the majority of animals by weight, all modern fish, all modern amphibians, all reptiles and all dinosaurs (including birds). Literally the only group closer to us than therapsids are modern mammals, which, while a large class, is only modestly-sized in the face of ALL OTHER animal life. So yes, our relative. Do you not call cousins relatives? They're also defined by sharing a common ancestor.
@@georgeparkins777 As far as we can tell, all life shares a common ancestor. The implication I intended wasn't that "our" and "relative" were incorrect terms to use, but rather that they were being stretched beyond customary use. Customarily, we do call cousins our relatives, but we don't call all humans our relatives even though that is true in the absolute sense, and the human most distantly related to you is still many many times closer a relative than these guys.
In spanish there are not difference between venom and poison. Both are translated as "venenoso". It also could be translated as "tóxico", but in english this is toxic, so... Edit: Actually, poisonous could be translated as "ponzoñoso", but this is a very little used word that is falling into disuse. You can probably find it in a novel being spoken by an old person.
1:50 "Both are toxic weapons used by living things. What separates the two is their method of delivery. Poisons take effect when the victim inhales, ingests or absorbs them through the skin. While venoms have to be injected." Well in that case a spitting cobra is simultaneously poisonous and venomous depending on whether it's squirting the substance or injecting it. Also by that standard of delineation stinging nettles are actually venomous even though they are plants and we tend to associate venom with animals. Also when people drink venom in an alcoholic beverage; It's no longer venom, but poison. Also nothing that is not the product of an organism is poisonous; So no need to worry about things that are labeled poisonous... Mode of delivery is a poor metric by which to delineate these two things. What makes a poison is the dosage. Even water can be poisonous if too much is consumed at once (this is commonly referred to as water intoxication). Poisons are typically considered to be those substances in which the dosage required to have ill effect is very low and easily uptaken if not careful with handling such substances. This is why we even have terms such as radiation poisoning. It's not at all a biological substance that causes it normally. One doesn't even need to come into direct contact with sources of it. But it is considered poisoning none the less. A venom on the other hand is dangerous to biology in any dosage. Because it is engineered by nature (teleonomically designed) to be so. Most poisons we find in plants and animals are actually uptaken from non biologic environmental sources. Or are bi-products of otherwise mundane physiologic processes. They tend to be simple macro molecules that could from as easily from minerals under the right circumstances and they happen to be dangerous to organisms. But they are not venom in most cases. Which are complex protein chains, prions, and antigens arranged in compact highly destructive packages. The definitions given in this video also entirely ignore toxins. Which are chemicals produced by microorganisms and cause in a body once delivered that cause great harm with relatively low load (such as can be found in the saliva of a Komodo Dragon).

Mode of delivery is a poor metric by which to delineate these two things.
What makes a poison is the dosage. Even water can be poisonous if too much is consumed at once (this is commonly referred to as water intoxication). Poisons are typically considered to be those substances in which the dosage required to have ill effect is very low and easily uptaken if not careful with handling such substances. This is why we even have terms such as radiation poisoning. It's not at all a biological substance that causes it normally. One doesn't even need to come into direct contact with sources of it. But it is considered poisoning none the less.
A venom on the other hand is dangerous to biology in any dosage. Because it is engineered by nature (teleonomically designed) to be so. Most poisons we find in plants and animals are actually uptaken from non biologic environmental sources. Or are bi-products of otherwise mundane physiologic processes. They tend to be simple macro molecules that could from as easily from minerals under the right circumstances and they happen to be dangerous to organisms. But they are not venom in most cases. Which are complex protein chains, prions, and antigens arranged in compact highly destructive packages.
The definitions given in this video also entirely ignore toxins. Which are chemicals produced by microorganisms and cause in a body once delivered that cause great harm with relatively low load (such as can be found in the saliva of a Komodo Dragon).
The back-and-forth between the two hosts was highly effective. Thanks for experimenting with this format!
Good vid you guys! Well done. Cant wait for the next one
