  • How The Dinosaurs Ruled Earth - Dinosaur Evolution and Extinction Explained
    In this episode John is joined by Paleontologist Dr. Steve Brusatte, they journey back to a world of dinosaurs from when the Dinosaurs were the beneficiaries of the Permian mass extinction event caused by volcanic eruptions at the beginning of the Triassic period - then into the dominant array of species everyone recognizes today, T. Rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, and the Utah Raptor. They discuss the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, when thousands of Dinosaur species thrived, and feathered dinosaurs, the prehistoric ancestors of modern birds, emerged. The story continues to the end of the
    Cretaceous period.
    How big was a Tyrannosaurus? How intelligent could the Dinosaurs have become? Are modern Birds descendants of the Dinosaurs. Did an asteroid wipe out the Dinosaurs?

    That moment when you realize that the universe is being simulated by intelligent dinosaurs who wanted to see how the planet would have evolved if their close encounter with an asteroid 65 million years ago had impacted instead. No wonder everyone loves dinosaurs. We've been subtly programmed to love the idea of our creators.

      HELLO,MRS ALEXIS, THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS I HAVE ABOUT "EVOLUTION" SUCH AS THE INSECT LIFE ON THE EARTH. NO ANIMAL EXISTED BY ITSELF. NO SPECIES CAN APPEAR BY ITSELF. "THE CLAUSE "SUDDENLY A NEW SPECIES CAME ABOUT AFTER THE METEOR IMPACT" DO YOU THINK HUMANS EVOLVED FROM APES OR MONKEYS? IF SO WHY AREN'T THERE MONKEYS IN THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENTS? PLEASE BEAR WITH ME-IF WE LOST THE ABILITY TO CLIMB TREES TO ESCAPE A LARGE BEAST BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AS STRONG AS A CHIMP. IS THAT AN ADVANTAGE? AGAIN,HAVE YOU EVER STUDIED A CAVE? I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF CAVES. THEY ARE INHOSPITABLE. THE WATER IS POISONOUS. THERE ARE SO MANY BOTTOMLESS DROPS. HUNDREDS OF DARK ENTRANCES LEADING TO ANOTHER DARK ENTRANCE. I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHORS OF LIFE IN THE JURASSIC WORLD.

    This planets history is outrageously incredible! We have the greatest story! I mean Massive creatures so different from us that existed for hundreds of millions of years! Imagine other planets out there and their story!

      When you look at trees, consider that they're mega-flora that are equally alien to much of our planet's past.
      Or, consider a future where we've lost all our trees and are left with legends of grass that grew hundreds of feet in the air. It can really give you an appreciation for the grandeur of the ordinary.

    I'm back-pedaling through your videos, having only recently discovered your program. I always love hearing new info on the dinosaurs, and paleontology in general. I'm surprised that Steve didn't mention that a powerful driver of evolution after the Permian extinction was low oxygen levels, (less than 15 percent). This led to the development of super-efficient lungs that had a "flow through" design, which birds still possess. In fact, it was their lungs that enabled flight. Think about Canada geese that fly over the Rockies at 30,000 feet elevation. Just sayin'....

    My understanding was that dinosaurs actually started losing diversity towards the end of the Cretaceous period and that the asteroid was more like the final mercy for non-avian dinosaurs, rather than wiping all of them out during the course of a few years. My information might be old or incorrect, but to my knowledge the youngest fossils they found so far are about 66 million years ago, while the asteroid impact happened 65 million years ago, with almost a million year gap where dinosaurs are already gone. It would be really interesting to talk about these gaps and the best timelines that we can establish.

    Thank you John for another very interesting EH segment and Dr. Steve B. for your narrative. There are some early depictions of early civilized humans co-habitating with a small number of up-right walking dinosaurs. Did they actually go extinct? Or did they adapt and survive much longer? That we have forgotten about from our past? ps...I met Dr. Charles Cockell at HMP-2000 on Devon Island where I was gathering data for design of a new MARS Space suit!

    From what I've read Dinosaurs didn't really dominate until the end Triassic but rather their close relatives the Crocodylomorphs another group of Archosaurs which were way more diverse and active that really is a boundary that is underestimated I'm really curious why some groups survived where as others perished. Unlike the Permian extinction and Creteceous extinction we don't really have the full story for the Triassic mass extinction. Though over all the Triassic was a harsh time for life with many starts and stops for life as later waves of the Great Dying repeatedly struck so maybe it was simply a continuation brought by the prolonged suffering of Pangea? Supercontinents seem to be quite disastrous for life as we know it Pangea's predecessor Rodinia according to research looks to be a major player in the Neoprotozoic snowball Earth Events.
    The speaker here does underestimate mammals though as while they never got huge they were far more diverse than most people realize and they too were similarly devastated at the end of the cretaceous. Overall they probably occupied most of the Nocturnal Niches Given the impact seems to have been primarily driven by the complete collapse of the biosphere under several years of global darkness it is likely the high activity levels became a double edged sword that wiped out all the active animals on the planet that didn't find a alternative nonperishable food source akin to seeds.
    As for the extinctions they were far more complex than this guest implies Both the Permian and the Cretaceous extinctions seem to have had a long term stressor namely the super continent Pangea with limited nutrient availability due to low erosion, and the Deccan Traps respectively, straining the ecosystem followed by a sudden destructive blow. This was probably important in the extinction, both The Siberian Traps of the end Permian extinction and the Cretaceous Asteroid erupted/impacted into extremely rich Hydrocarbon Deposits, The thick Coal Deposits of the Carboniferous rain-forests set-ablaze as the earth fractured and spewed molten magma and the Sulfur Rich Petroleum of the shallow seas near what is now the Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean.
    The sudden and rapid release of hydrocarbons from both events seem to have been instrumental in forging the disasters themselves via the rapid injection of CO2. Though The end Cretaceous deathblow for the dinosaurs based on samples from the impact site and looking at the extinctions of both Flora and Fauna seems to be primarily driven by the immediate loss of sunlight as the Ejecta provided for several years of Darkness. Plants and algae were particularly hard hit which likely led to active Herbivores starving to death and active Carnivores following in their wake. As such perhaps if the Asteroid had struck elsewhere on the planet and not blocked out the sun completely the nonavian dinos would have been able to carry on their empire.
    After all even today Birds are so much more metabolically efficient than mammals in particular the respiratory system of Crocs and Birds is way better than what mammals have getting more air for less energy.
    Birds at least feature a higher neural density compared to mammals ourselves included i.e. are able to do more per unit volume smarter per unit volume.
    And mammals on average have higher body temperatures which could be a double edged sword in a hothouse climatic phase such as the one present over the Mesozoic and early Cenozoic Earth. Mammals are not slouches but probably had adapted to rule the night where there was no reason to grow huge instead radiating into diverse niches across the planet.
    Large size after all is far more of a challenge for mammals at least on land than it was for the Dinosaurs. There are biological limits imposed by several adaptations such as large endothermic animals suffering the risk of overheating, adapting blood processing into the internal skeleton which limits the structural role bones can support, inefficient respiratory system etc. Today Only Cetaceans have really been able to overcome these limits due to water buoyancy solving the weight problem and water's thermal properties making overheating less of a problem.
    And then there is the whole story of plants and insects and the rise in pollination originally in Cycads and possibly Gynosperms? Before the super competitor Angiosperms were able to rapidly rise and replace them with their truncated Genomes that is.... Those poor Cycads and Ginkoes didn't really stand a chance... It may look less impressive to us but it was still a big deal! Also Ferns while they may look "ancient" they actually rapidly diversified and radiated through the late Mesozoic!

      Amazing???in a spec of dust in the sandbox of time that is the history of life on this planet we have primarily used our explosively expanding intelligence and the accomplishments, achievements and horrors associated with our limitless imagination ,intelligence and technological advancement to pretty much sling shot the planet at light speed towards a human made inability to sustain life as we know it ...amazing???ice caps melting...ozone swiss cheesed ...temps rising at critical levels...gonna kill us all ....and all in what????two hundred little years of industrialization and modern technological influence and impact on earth...you must have forgotten the inevitable doom that man made climate change is causing and its rapid onset being that in mere decades earth will be uninhabitable...(🤪)or maybe you're one of the few people left in the world with enough individual reliance, common sense and level headed analytical examination abilities to come to the conclusion that it's all pure bullshit and part of a larger campaign aimed at creating the most abrupt and fundamentally global power shift in recorded history that seeks the elimination of all sovereign nations ,and the ultimate existence of the various races and with them their histories and cultures...to bring all the world together under one global collective that would essentially be nothing more than a massive system of global communism...one in which everything would be fairly distributed and all would have their needs met...free housing, health care ...food....clothing....no more social classes...one big perfect John Lennon song type of world....all of earth under the benevolent rule...no,care of a global committee which would of course have as all such bodies do,a chairperson or similarly titled authority...a position that would basically place that particular individual as the literal ruler of the world.....(picture doctor evil now laughing maniacally)okay so that was caffeine driven fun and completely off topic ....well not completely...just mostly. ..but yeah 150 million years and their end came from an unavoidable natural anomaly...versus our two hundred years of mechanization, industrialization and technological advancement being passionately sometimes violently asserted as undoing the entire planet in the scope of just a few more decades...I think the dinosaurs whooped us buddy...and they managed it without smart phones

    I work in Human Cardio/Pulmonary, I discouraged my Son from Human Medicine. What he did was Veterinary then Avian Science. We discuss this frequently to this day. Granted he's not here to represent himself, but I can confidently say we both transpose Birds and Dinosaurs as one in the same. I tend to see through a Birds Feathers and see the General Morphology represented there.
