I love these thought experiments, but it's also funny to imagine that you have the intelligence, training, and resources to build the requisite time machine, but then choose to drive it directly into an extinction event.
Plus the next one--if I was going to go anywhere in the Cretacious it would probably not be on the island where I know the apex predator pterosaurs are going to be.
@Chameleonradio apply sci-fi logic here large catastrophic events cause distortions in time that time travelers get pulled towards. See? Plot hole closed.
An interesting one for them to do would be could a Modern urban human being survive the exact same environment that Australopithecus lived in. Naked and Afraid in the African Savanna
They could get creative, and look at different parts of different time periods. They are being quite specific about when within the period they are discussing they would be going to. Fingers crossed. I really like these, too.
@@turtletom8383 Please point out specifically where in this entire series PBS Studios have said it's MEANT as cheap attraction, otherwise you're speaking with no basis. I feel like it's a fun twist on what is otherwise Yet Another Documentary covering environments, flora and fauna of our planet's past. Giving it a first person perspective, as well as stimulating the roleplaying kind of imagination of the participants feels fresh in my opinion and I like to imagine myself tagging along as the silent friend. With a traditional documentary you don't get this sort of involvement from the audience.
I wish I could see the video of some post-human Kallie Moore in 3.9 million years doing a "Can You survive the Mid-Holoscene/Anthropocene?" with a Hank Green head in a jar. It would be so hard describing a "typical" human life. Life in a logging camp in Brazil and a Saudi prince's typical Tuesday I imagine is quite different and that's just right now at this moment.
I love that the basic design principles of the branches are fairly solid from really early on. But everything Triassic and before just screams "First Draft".
There is an even bigger problem in the triassic oxygen levels were 12%. You would have to rapidly evolve to handle or you would slowly suffocate over a few days.
Most people today can't survive a week alone in a well-kept forest without predators. In every other time in the distant past I give the same people half an hour.
Any animal that has existed at a time that predation existed will fight like hell if they feel like their life is on the line, no matter how little or feeble the attempt may seem to the other animal. As a human, our strength is in strategic thinking, social groups/communication, dexterity and fortitude. My kids were telling me that the big topic of conversation at school lately is speculating what animal you could beat in a fight. I had to explain to them that as a human, small and squishy, they are not succeeding in hand-to-hand combat with anything bigger than 20-30 lbs and even then they're not coming out of it unscathed. So, while I doubt that a single person could survive the Triassic, when you've got two humans I feel the odds shift in humanity's favor.
Even a simple weapon like a sharpened stick or a club, or a rock would give a single human a big advantage though. Not like you'd need to grab the animal with your bare hands and like choke it to death or something. And many prey animals first response would be to run away, even if you just speared it with a stick. And there's plenty of small animals you could kill with just a well-thrown rock, could likely get enough sustenance from them to not need to try to take down truly dangerous large animals.
@@jaydonbooth4042 Modern animals have learned to fear humans even if they could easily take down one of us alone, though. Humans pretty much kill competitors on sight. Ancient animals wouldn't know that and would think we look like easy prey.
Absolutely the most fun so far in this series, but wouldn't you want to go over to the Anthropology dept. and find those who can teach you to pressure flake pointy and sharpedged tools , make strings and scrape tree limbs into bows and arrows in prior to departing on your trip?
I like your idea! I was also thinking why not learn to make ceramics the old fashion way? Then they could make their own dishes without having to make them out of animal parts that might be dangerous to get. If they are worried about paradoxes they could destroy the evidence before leaving.
Indeed, but they only mentioned ginkgos and ferns. Maybe kallie has already given up on cycads (last episode they talked about the issue but didn't even try to solve it)
Rose colored glasses am I right? 😉 I really am enjoying this series. It's a great way to explore these time frames and put them into perspective with the various situations and events one could encounter. That said, you can't escape our biggest foe, diarrhea. Humans are very intelligent and adaptable, but we are also just squishy bags of meat. The ingenuity humans have ultimately comes down to our social lives. Coming up with methods and sources for all of your lifetime needs and maintaining these everyday would likely take more time than you have. Securing adequate long-term shelter and maintaining it. Finding and securing clean fresh water and maintaining it. Finding a varied nontoxic diet that provided adequate levels of necessary nutrients and compounds, like vitamin C, and maintaining it. Obtaining materials for protective clothing, constructing them, and maintaining them. Finding materials for tool use, constructing them, and maintaining them. Deciding how to deal with waste safely and maintaining it. All of these tasks are important in the short-term and also the long-term. They also take a lot of time, especially working from only raw materials. Getting sick, especially with diarrhea just once, could quickly destroy everything. Your shelter may be uncleanable. Your food and water contaminated by you. Your simple clothing, a mess. Fail to maintain yourself and all of your needs just once while sick and that's pretty much a game over. Humans can only human with other humans. Even the most remote living people rely on other people. Whether its a solo "Alaskan/Siberian Mountain Man" or someone living on North Sentinel island, your basic survival relies on a community of people. You can't do and make everything yourself, especially with diarrhea. You will get diarrhea.
Speaking of Ginkgo seeds, they often appear in Cantonese congee... And in a Tempura restaurant in Tokyo I had an autumn-limited set meal that had battered ginkgo seeds - they taste okay.
I know yall aren't climate people, but why does the climate not get more talk? Sea temps at 104°f would theoretically spawn a legendary category 6 hurricane with almost an infinite amount of open warm water to strengthen over. Convective systems over land would be insane too. Boiling hot and humid tropical exterior, millenia long droughts in the desert interior. And thats just baseline in a rapidly changing extinction level climate
In the triassic oxygen levels were 12%. Humans would experience lack of coordination and mental impairment. Humans would be dead in a week from lack of oxygen
I live in a place over 4000ft of altitude, oxygen levels are around 17%, we are perfectly fine. Bolivian people live at higher altitudes than the highest mountain in Europe, where oxygen concentration is 10% All cities in colorado are above 3000ft.
mb's little "no.... it's all we have left...." KILLS me also at the end of the episode i thought "ooh i know hatzig island!!! because of.... oh. oh NO"
A lot of bacteria is opportunistic meaning. It's not a question of whether the bacteria would know what to do with us, but whether our immune system would know how to protect us from a type of opportunistic bacteria or fungus which went extinct millions of years ago.
You may want to edit the part at 6:11 where you are discussing early crocodilians. You show a picture of Boverisuchus but they didn’t evolve until the early Eocene. Very easy mistake to make given just how many croc relatives lived in both time periods.
I always like this experiment with a human from like 20,000 bc. When we were still mostly insync with nature but still had all the evolutionary adaptations that allowed us to conquer the world. But honestly you would probably need to send a whole tribe back
New episode in the Surviving Deep Time series! Hell yeah! Kallie, great work hosting this show, Michelle, glad to see your second appearance, on with the show!!
Getting water isn't as hard if you choose a forest. Seep springs would very common and shallow streams would also be prevelant in hilly and submountainous areas. There is a benefit in that the water is safer to drink and be around. A great place would be somewhere like west virginia, tennessee, and kentucky all the way to the ozarks and ouachitas.
Wooo Ghost Ranch! They used to offer a short paleontology course in the summers - I got to attend one year and help put a plaster jacket on what I believe was an aetosaur fossil. Again, for a non-living souvenir of this trip, I want a video of one of these massive volcanic eruptions in progress.
Back when I pretended I was a gardener I used the tops of different veggies to make pesto. Carrots were the most enjoyable. The real sorrows are no cheese or decent oil. 😢
By my calculations the mass of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province was 9x10^18 kg, compared to the mass of the moon of 7.3x10^22. So about 1/10,000th of the mass of the moon.
Triassic mystery: try and find a triassic ornithiscian dino. We only have sauropods and theropod fossils from then and then all of sudden lots of ornithiscians in jurassic
47:54 The Eastern half of my county has some wonderful exposed Triassic formations. I live in Virginia, and the state has a surprising variety of geological eras represented in its geology.
One thing that I think always puts us at a disadvantage in this series is that we assume going back in time alone. As humans, one of our "superpowers" is collaboration/communication so there are many things we could do if we brought even a small group of 5-10 people (maybe the Eons team?) that one person alone couldn't do.
Fun series, thanks! As to surviving, by this era you have resources for at least a bronze age technology, with all the pottery, woodcraft, flint-knapping, rope & fiber crafts, all the fire tech, trapping/netting arts, nautical trades, even potential smelting, and so on. Basically, it's as survivable as the wildlands today.
It's the "Age of Reptiles" because of our current cladistics. Archosaurs/forms/morphs ruled the land and sky for most of the mesozoic but never the sea (besides a brief foray by the metriorhynchids). The seas were ruled by Sauropterygians, Ichthyosaurs & Mosasaurs. The first two may be related to archosauromorphs but the latter were lepidosaurs.
Interesting that the End-Triassic was different from now mostly in degree rather than kind: so many of the same environmental stressors. I've been going around saying that humans are the asteroid (comparing us to Chicxulub); now it seems I should be calling humans the modern CAMP!
Pterasaurs wouldn't come anywhere near us. We can throw. They've never encountered an animal that can do that and they would learn to avoid us relatively quickly. Throwing is the real game-changer in human evolution. Every other animal has to get close and intimate in order to kill. We are the only animal that kills at a great distance, negating any immediate danger. We throw things, anything we like, especially if its sharp and pointy, and we can throw it hard, far, and accurate. Forget the brain or the opposable thumb -- the real evolutionary advantage of humans is the rotator cuff.
Thank you! Someone else who thinks Celsius is stupid when talking about Temp in relation to Humans... we dont feel temps like water, we feel temps like humans so its stupid to talk about temp in relation to how water reacts to it.. no no no just tell me the 40° swing not the 8° swing, i can understand the 100-140°F swing better as it relates to temp as felt by humans... Seriously i wish everyone referred to temps depending on whats being affected. In relation to Water use °C In relation to Humans use °F In relation to Matter use K They each have their distinctions for a reason, we should use them as such.
You would first want to bring a light environment protection suit with a respirator-air filter. cooling and heating system, oxygen mix tanks for the suit, polarized goggles, backpack of camping supplies with tools and knives, heavy rifles with both lethal and tranquilizer rounds, water filtration/sterilization gear, walkie talkies(and batteries)... The best place to visit in that period would be any temperate climate area away from CAMP. Gingko seeds need to be boiled after the rind is removed, and ferns need detoxing, as do cycads. Some researchers think that very primitive proteas may have existed then, which may be edible and can contain rich edible nectar. Plus lots of reptiles and freshwater to hunt and detoxify(ccok). There may be edible fungi. You would probably want to see what the small generalist mammals are eating, as large synapsid herbivores, like cows, probably has multiple stomach to detoxify and process vegetation.
We need another series where you guys talk about the edable plans in the different periods and then come up with a recipe for a dish using them and then make the dish with the modern day counterparts of the ingredients. You can dry and the grind the inner bark of conifers to make a type of flour so I'm thinking something fried in conifer flour batter with some kind of Tahini sauce. Yum! It's too bad there's no sugar or honey because if there was we could make a fermented soda from the needles that tastes a bit like sprite.
you guys always forget about homo sapiens third most op adaptation; the ability throw things accurately with force! That with a pointy stick essentially allowed us to hunt mammoths and ground sloths and anything we could poke.
I feel like this is getting harder as we go on because the ecosystems are getting more complex and also dangerous. The Cambrian had its challenges but being eaten wasn't one of them.
I won't survive when there are dinosaurs around, because I'd wear my armor, scream at the top of my lungs, and try to fight one with swords and shield and pretend they were dragons, I'd die the first day... Also it would mess around with Paleontologists, an armored guy fighting a Dinosaur.
I don't know, Tibetans and Andeans seem to do just fine (though they do have specific adaptations to support this). Edit: Tibetan plateau is 19-20% O2 whereas end Triassic was like 11%. Yeah, we'd be cooked!
These make me so happy. It’s a super knowledgeable version of the conversations we had as kids about hypothetical scenarios like zombie apocalypses or, yeah, I guess whether we’d survive in “dinosaur times.” 😊
I love these thought experiments, but it's also funny to imagine that you have the intelligence, training, and resources to build the requisite time machine, but then choose to drive it directly into an extinction event.

@@Chameleonradio AGREED.

Can I survive The End-Triassic? Dude, I can barely survive if you put me in the middle of nowhere, like right now.
To be fair, this _is_ the sixth mass extinction so future episode on these times incoming. In like a million years or two.
An interesting one for them to do would be could a Modern urban human being survive the exact same environment that Australopithecus lived in. Naked and Afraid in the African Savanna
@@unvergebeneid MMMMmmmmmm hundreds?
Exactly. My car play makes me upset sometime I’m not surviving anything at any time.

My favorite episode is gonna be when they get to the Holocene and they're like yeah we're not gonna survive this one it's ending pretty badly 😂😂

Right now, I am trying my best to survive the tomorrow’s exam lol.
Tell your teacher that, in the context of the 500-million-year evolution of life, the test doesn't matter
I felt this. I have an exam tomorrow and Ive also had a stomach bug for the last few days 😭
Same. I'm in electrical engineering, but geoscience is somehow more fascinating
I love that the basic design principles of the branches are fairly solid from really early on. But everything Triassic and before just screams "First Draft".
I can survive just as soon as I can reevolve my ability to produce vitamin c
There is an even bigger problem in the triassic oxygen levels were 12%. You would have to rapidly evolve to handle or you would slowly suffocate over a few days.
You can get that from the conifer needles and their pollen. Pine needle tea has a lot of vitamin C and is 100% edable.
Feathers and Spikes, all you need is a speakeasy and its the Roaring 200 millions.
Yeah, time travelers would have to take a lot of equipment with them to make it. Body armor, water purification, vitamin tablets, MREs
Oxygen concentrators
Most people today can't survive a week alone in a well-kept forest without predators.
In every other time in the distant past I give the same people half an hour.
What I've learned from this video series : don't eat ferns.
I was in a pretty bad mood today, but the jolly and silly style of presentation in this video turned it around :)
Thanks

You don't have to be top 10% to succeed in life. ❤ Being a life long learner is a much better attribute.
Just be curious and never lose that curiosity. You'll be fine.

Pineapple is a type of bromeliad. There's a chance that there may be types of plants with edible parts that aren't fruit.

On Spotify this only has the first 4 min??
Best duo❤
I feel like this is getting harder as we go on because the ecosystems are getting more complex and also dangerous. The Cambrian had its challenges but being eaten wasn't one of them.
I always love listening to Kallie narrate
Kallie Moore, enjoy the information you offer and your voice is so soothing.
I do like the way some Americans say the word "animals".
She has a bit of a Montana accent, it's charming.
I like the way they use the words, pumped and roasted
Love the mental image of tree-dwelling paleontologists wearing spiky, feathered coats. Excellent series.
I won't survive when there are dinosaurs around, because I'd wear my armor, scream at the top of my lungs, and try to fight one with swords and shield and pretend they were dragons, I'd die the first day... Also it would mess around with Paleontologists, an armored guy fighting a Dinosaur.
Short and simple answer no O2 levels way to low for humans to survive 🤗😎
I don't know, Tibetans and Andeans seem to do just fine (though they do have specific adaptations to support this).
Edit: Tibetan plateau is 19-20% O2 whereas end Triassic was like 11%. Yeah, we'd be cooked!
What if I'm a Sherpa?
Would there be deposits of NaCl to use for seasoning?
I love this series so much. I get so excited when I new video comes out ❤
For all of these “would you survive XXXX?” scenarios, the answer is a resounding no.
9:55 what camp exposer? i didnt know this, where is it? i want to see it too but idk what it is
The End-Triassic is like the Land Before Time
Would love to see Les Stroud (Survivorman) being asked these questions.
Why is this so cool
FYI: For some reason the podcast version of this episode is only three minutes long.
Thanks girls ... you are so cool. Fascinating presentation.
When i was this early it was still in the early triassic
Dang. Beat me to it.

These make me so happy. It’s a super knowledgeable version of the conversations we had as kids about hypothetical scenarios like zombie apocalypses or, yeah, I guess whether we’d survive in “dinosaur times.” 😊
i need Kallie to read me a goodnight story everyday for the rest of my life
