Believing that animal life evolved before the Ediacaran makes more sense in my opinion, I can't see multiple phyla of animals appearing just in a few million years during the ediacaran, unless phyla are not true groups of animals.

Maybe prokaryotic animals

I consider everything before the year 5 of a decade

I like trains.

Thank you Eons team ! The SpaceTime team really should have consulted you for the script of their Silurian Hypothesis video released 2 months ago. Matt saying there was no life in the Precambrian and that only Australia and Scotland are the only continental plate older enough was infuriating.

Me too buddy lol

Same, they taste great

i like turtles

Didn’t ask + my content is way better than PBS 😎🥱

You clearly didn’t evolve tho

Idk man, maybe you didn't

@@CatMowpurr Says the evolutionary dead end.

Would be better to talk to our prehistoric ancestors

@@LuisSierra42 mmyes a great conversation “what’s your name?” “OOMGA BOOMGA.”

It bothers me tremendously that he’ll never know the full story of our ancestry. The man deserved to know.

I wish that too! I would LOVE to tell Einstein we have observed gravitational waves. As far as I know he was still thinking they could never be measured, but our technology has improved so much in the last few decades.

@@edgytoucan3444 What if they had language? there's simply no way of knowing unless we see it for ourselves

This is such an interesting comment! I am simply a lay person but it did stand out to me that those cells started as singular and became multicellular throughout their life cycle, just as animals do! We all start as a sex sell and become these incredibly complex life forms so it's not surprising to me that earliest ancestors started much the same.

what's a molecular clock? and i agree, the fossil record is a sketchy view of a tiny part of what was mostly marine life, we need to transcend fossils altogether to find the complete picture. And we should seed planets, coz no-one else is going to.

Glad to see other people also see the resemblance to blastocysts! (Except I couldn't remember the word, so my brain was like "pre-anus embryo!" 😅)

@@roseannelajara8659 Don't mean to be pedantic, but "blastocyst" refers specifically to mammalian embyros, because these embryos embed in the placenta forming a "cyst", the ball of cells found in almost all other animal groups is called a blastula.

@@roseannelajara8659 Also my blastula comment makes it seem like I subscribe to Haeckle's flawed "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" hypothesis. I don't, but studying the pathways that patterned embryos I have wondered the situation where they all started. The problem with embryonic patterning genes, is that they are the ultimate chicken and egg question: you seemingly can't get the patterns without the genes, and but you wouldn't select for the genes without the patterning. There are three signaling pathway families: TGF-beta/BMP, Wnt, and Shh, that were made almost completely from scratch between the split with choanoflagelates. Each one of those signalling pathways needs about 4-6 minimal unrelated gene components in order to work. So to me it seems natural that there had to be a long period of time where these systems evolved and played out. And I've wondered, what the heck did this animal (can it even be called an animal) look like? One appealing answer is that maybe they looked like sponges. From a signaling standpoint that would make a lot of sense because a morphology based on repeating units would be more robust to screwups than a more symmetrical body plan. But there's a decent amount of evidence that that sponges didn't come first. The other alternative is that it was maybe something with a single axis, but also very small.

Shouldn’t it be „hidden dead“?

I am surprised it wasn't scoured.England is just down south,one would expect their scientists to go up there.

Oh sure everyone beleive all those things live there. But just cross the pond in the same mountain range in appalachia and nobody beleive bigfoot exist!!! THE INJUSTICE!

Why did such multicellularity, with conglomeration and, later, specialization, emerge? Not just in animals, but also Symbiomycota (biggest fungi subgroup), Embryophyta (plants), Eurhodophytina (biggest red algae subgroup) and Phaeophyceae (brown algae). What advantages did it confer?

Maybe its like forest floor mold that isn't one entity but made up of various molds that do different jobs to keep the mold fed in a symbiotic relationship that could have evolved further in animals in a similar manner over time

"but it is multicellular in the same sense that snakes are tetrapods" is such a cool phrase

reject animality. return to cell.

​@@wuasqi2665 not sure but it looks like a myxozoan

As do we

that is how time works haha (ik what you mean though)

Yes. A nd we're also starting to find out that we're much older than we thought.

Do this: average tectonic movement = 1 inch per year. How many years of tectonic movement makes 1 complete trip around the earth? Multiply circumference in miles 24,901 x feet in 1 mile 5280= 131,477,280 earth circumference in feet. Multiply x12 to get inches in Earth circumference = 1,577,727,360. Using average 1 inch of tectonic movement per year, and there are 1,577,727,360 inches in earth circumference means it takes that many years for 1 complete trip around the earth. But tectonics start as 2 plates moving away from each other at a common source of newly made earth. Meaning the plates will meet again in half the circumference. So divide inches 1,577,727,360 by 2 = 788,863,680. It takes that many years for the 2 plates to meet on the other side. Those plates subduct, travel vertically to be churned up and later become new earth again. And that's the reason the fossil record cant really go much further back than 788 million years. Because all living things get churned up and evidence destroyed. But there are pieces of plate that churn under but reappear mostly intact. So there are anomalies of creatures without prior history. And tectonic movement is not the same everywhere but 1 inch per year is ok to use just for a rough estimate and pretty closely matches the fossil record.

@@michaelmoore7975 There are fossils of cyanobacteria that are 3.5 billion years old. That's many fortnights in imperial units.

Speculation: Multicellular life arose due to the packing of single cells for generations at a source of nutrients. Although initially competitors for the resource, evolution could change their descendants to cooperators to enhance each other's survival.

Scroll up to my comment just a couple minutes before yours. See what you think.

@@michaelmoore7975 Yes and no. The center of land mass for each plate, called the shield or craton, generally does not go through subduction. The cratons host some of the oldest known rock formations from 3-4 billion years ago. While the process you mention is certainly part of it, I would argue weathering and erosion processes are a larger reason why we don't find many older types of fossil. If not for erosion we would expect to find more in these older rock formation areas.

​@@michaelmoore7975tldr, spongebob could have been around even before those 750 million years but the remains are gone now, or did i get you wrong? :D

@s1rand0m Could have? I'm pretty sure that proto-Bob and proto-Patrick episode was scientifically spot on. But prehistory progenitor sponge polyps should go back that far, by my reckon. Rough reckon, anyway.

Well they were successful for millions of years. But then someone ruined the party by eating his neighbor.

@@deano1873 By "success" I mean what can they go from there if they are allowed to evolve further.
