      O. Fender we give the guests full bio at the beginning of the episode when they are the guest for the show, since that’s when we will be talking to them like at the beginning of this episode when we gave Steve Brusatte’s bio then started the interview. Is that what you’re talking about? Or something else? Please explain.

    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.

    Dr. Peter Ward (book-"Out of thin air")offers a reason for dinosaur success: They had a different breathing system--bird breathing. They didn't breathe in, then out. They breathed in and out together. Their environment began as a low oxygen environment. Mammals larger than mouse-sized couldn't get enough oxygen to compete with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs could. By the time oxygen levels rose from 12% back to 21% dinosaurs were too dominant.

    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!

    What I wonder is, would alien worlds have creatures/life such as dinosaurs? Complex intelligent life like us took a very very long time to evolve, as did dino's but they did hit the scene earlier and so far have lasted longer. Is it possible, outside the old "everything is possible in an infinite universe" argument, that life like dino's are a common form of life out there? Awesome video and channel! Now onto the video!

      Over the next several million years as we explore the Galaxy...(I know I'm being optimistic), we will understand how environment controls and modifies evolution, on those planets where multicell life has started.
      I think where a planet is chemically similar to Earth, and has similar size, distance from the star, and a similar yellow sun, then that life may have life evolve on it in parallel...not exactly the same but close enough for the same reasons life evolved that way on Earth. So to answer your question: YES
      The term 'Alien' life has come to mean something so utterly different as to be almost unimaginable...if you are around in a few million years this will prove laughable. Although I'd expect life to be very strange in extreme environments.

    • @Barabel22
      @Barabel22 6 років тому +1

      I have a feeling that few life forms out there will be truly “alien”. Mainly if the planet is fairly similar to ours, there will be equivalents to our Birds,Reptiles,Mammals,insects,Marsupials...etc.😀

    • @antonystringfellow5152
      @antonystringfellow5152 6 років тому

      I think there are probably many planets similar to ours. It seems Mars and Venus were quite similar at one time, with a mixture of water oceans or lakes, and dry land. When you take into account the huge number of examples of parallel evolution on Earth, I expect similar will happen on other like planets. Of course, you wouldn't expect to find creatures exactly the same as dinosaurs but creatures that have most of the same features, large reptilian type creatures, I'd say, probably, yes. What the many examples of parallel evolution here on Earth show us is that when life is faced with the same challenges, natural selection usually favours the same solutions.
