This channel is so underrated. The high quality is undeniable and sounds like a real documentary that would be on cable or something. I'm always so excited to see that a new episode got uploaded!
I have to admit I kinda thought it was a real documentary from BBC or NG myself and I think it has the potential to go places in the world of documentaries. Well done guys.
If I was ever to donate on Patreon its going to be for this channel. This channel is so underrated and deserves more support. It is becoming frustrating to wait months for new videos. At the same time UA-cam is becoming full of videogames channels and "animals being funny" channels, each with millions of subscribers and posting majorly stolen videos, yet they even have the nerves to ask for Patreon support.
There is something terribly soothing about his voice! In my opinion, he has the perfect voice and cadence to replace Sir David Attenborough when the world loses that amazing person!!! So glad I found his and his brother's channels!
This has got to be one of the best channels on UA-cam. I have been hooked ever since the first episode. Awesome and truly magnificent in it's breath and depth of content.
Interesting, fascinating and even exciting. I'm truly grateful that in later life I can pursue and immerse myself in all that amazed me as a youngster but until recently remained unattainable. I now have the option, the means and the time to learn about the world and our place in it.
I agree. I am 36 years old, but watching these videos fills me with the same wonderment I had about the world as when I was a young child. It is a priceless gift these people have given and I am truly grateful.
Extraordinary piece of work - the whole Planet Earth series. I tell friends and colleagues and they probably sense my enthusiasm. I’ll be keeping a lookout for the next one, always! Thanks heaps for all the effort you’ve put into this. Cheers!
This is the first time I'm leaving a comment on youtube saying that what I've just saw was really enjoyable... even fascinating, The simple and yet detailed information that was presented in this piece was done in an accurate way, yet without any presumption or arrogance (as I often see), and the narrator doesn't get you tired, and keeps you interested in a sort of calm way. Congratulations. Keep up the good work guys. I really really enjoyed watching this. 😉🤔🤨🙄😏😁😀
Whoever is doing the voice over. So good hostory of the earth, History of the universe... I've watched all of the videos more than once. Its also a popular series to fall asleep to simply because the voice is so perfect and somehow soothing.
I don't know how you do it but the effort, that you put into these very informative presentations, is remarkable. Keep it coming. I have enjoyed every one so far.
Talk about a perfect symbiosis between beautiful writing, perfect voicing and classy presentation. You guys are good! I am quite finicky about presentation and quite often I am irritated by some aspect of the text, or the voice, the audio or video, or the pace, or the depth of research (sometimes unattainable to the untrained or sometimes to shallow or pedantic), but truly, you have arrived at the perfect combination, symbiosis indeed. Much appreciated!
Hm...feels like a marriage between history of the earth and journey to the microcosmos. Love it 😁 Thank you, for another great content. I've no idea how many times I rewatched your videos to wind down at night. Knowing how insignificant I am in the grand scheme of things helps me to put my existence (and problems) in perspective.
3:12 if you know, you know... For real though, I'm loving these videos. I've been binging them to catch up in the hopes this continues for a good while longer! This and the other channel (History of the Universe, I think it is) are so well-produced and informative. I love it!
Haha, yeah .. was wondering why they left out that one particular detail of what substances he studied... ;) He truly took a good look at himself as well.
23:50 so few people mention Linné when speaking about science and biology! He's one of the 'founding fathers" of science, and yet barely anyone mentions him. So utterly strange. We're taught all about him in Swedish schools obviously, isn't anyone else?
We learned about him in my middle school and high school in America, although I didn't know he was Swedish and our textbooks always called him Linnaeus. For some reason I thought he was French.
Super stuff - thank you. Where do the viruses fit in with all of this is something that it prompted me to think; are they a quasi-life and how do they relate to the kingdoms discussed in the video.
Think of viruses as broken fragments of code. DNA and RNA write the "code" which tells our cells how to make new cells and all the parts of our body. Just like computer code, if you cut and paste an incomplete segment of code, it might cause problems, not function as intended. That's what viruses do. Cells pick them up and read them thinking they are reading proper code, and they follow the instruction but the instructions are a mess and things get messed up.
Microorganisms are underrated. I also love how they go through the history of the science and discovery. It's important to know how we came to understand things.
This is so incredibly gorgeous! How do they keep doing it, episode after episode? Everything from the fantastically voiced narration to the wonderful video.
Amazing job, thank you so much for this great series, it really sooths the mind to take this kind of wide perspective. I find alot of serenity watching your videos and of course precious knowledge. Bravo!
I love watching your content. You really provide outstanding work. Please keep up the great work! Until now i had not known about Archaea. I would love to see a video about this kingdom❤
The lens gets over looked when we look at the history of technology and human ingenuity but more than any other invention it allowed us to truly see beyond all other inventions and thus has done more to expand our understanding of the universe both large and small than I can even imagine
Another great episode of this channel. As always topnotch quality like National Geographics in their heyday. Please keep on the good work. Thanks a lot for this video...
This is why I love Life and no matter how hard things get sometimes I somehow find a way to have Nature and science cheer me up and fill my soul with wonder. I can't help but feel magic when researching life and chemistry, physics, astronomy, inorganic compounds interacting with organic matter. Nature can be very harsh but equally beautiful and amazing. Ecosystems and patterns through out the universe give me hope that any bit of harshness is apart of some natural state of some system. Be like nature and take any negative challenge as a positive thing to grow from because we're still here. And have optimistic faith in nature to transferring and recycling your energy when the day does inevitably come that we all will equally succumb to. The universe must function correctly or it would be out of balance so recycling is very important to all systems with-in it. The Ying and the Yang ☯️✌️☯️
The funny thing is that thanks to nuclear fusion and genetic engineering we’ve achieved the transmutation that the early alchemists thought was possible.
There is this great story about Van Leeuwenhoek about his discovery of living sperm cells. He describes them and made drawings of them. Yet he also describes how he left his wife still panting in bed, so that noone would think he got the sperm cells by committing the sin of Onan (i.e. masturbating). He didn't want to upset his sensitive pious god fearing audience after all...
@@aljoschalong625 I read it in a book by Floris Cohen. Dutch title: 'De herschepping van de wereld. Het ontstaan van de moderne natuurwetenschap verklaard'. page 221. The English title is: 'The rise of modern science explained: A comparative history'. It is a secondary source though. So I don't know how it was precisely written down by Van Leeuwenhoek himself.
@@aljoschalong625 A slightly different and less scholarly mention of the same story occurs in "A mind of its own: A cultural history of the penis," David M. Friedman, p. 75.
Suggestion: History of the earth below ground to the center of the earth. Earth's code, magnetic field, mineral creation and distribution, caves, underside of continents, source of volcanoes, underground water, mantle circulation, and especially life below ground. Estimates are that the deep earth (below the top few meters), contain more biomass than life above ground and in the ocean. We mostly ignore the history of everything below ground, except when significant earthquakes hit, and even then we don't pay attention for long. When talking about continental plates, we usually only pay attention to the surface of the plates.

Very profound! It makes me hopeful that at least some people realize we are not on top of Nature, we are merely a species sharing this Earth with others.
I always haven't liked the flatpaper 2d representations of the tree of life.

I come to watch and learn about the earth and its beautiful stories... But most of all I like the commentator's voice and dialogue delivery... Very nice
The channel is truly outstanding. I can’t believe I get to watch this for free.
I feel the same way, astonishing isn't it.
I know what you mean but don’t disregard those pesky advertisements as non-payment.
Honestly tho!! It’s amazing!
Really? I wish it would just go away. UA-cam keeps auto playing after totally unrelated videos and I can't make it stop.

"Animalcules" is probably one of my favorite words in the world.

Me too, because I really love Planet Earth.. Really 😎✌

It makes my day when I see that a new video has been posted. Learning about our earth and its history is time well-spent.
Have you checked out the History of the Universe, the sister channel to this? It's just as good as this.
Whoever is doing the voice over. So good hostory of the earth, History of the universe... I've watched all of the videos more than once. Its also a popular series to fall asleep to simply because the voice is so perfect and somehow soothing.
Thank you for the relaxed theme but educational videos you make!
One of my favourite places on UA-cam. A place I like to visit again and again.
Every time a new video comes out I have to watch them all again from the beginning
Fascinating, as always. I'm a little surprised that you didn't include a link to the "Journey to the Microcosmos" channel in the about box.
And I'm a little surprised our good buddy "Rotifer" isn't here to comment on this. :P
Watch this series. One of the best ever! Easy to follow and excellent explanations. Two hundred THUMBS UP!

Surprising! Best quality content I’ve ever seen for these type of topics, free or paid!
This is one of the greatest you tube series of all time. Absolutely awe inspiring.
Congrats guys on your first sponsor. Great content again.
Thank you for putting in the hours and dedication to create these videos for us. Always well researched and expertly crafted 👏
The quality of these production is great. it's not dumbed down and it great at explaining quite complicated topics
Really (I mean /really/) enjoyed this video. I just did. Thanks so much - I'm off to check out some more of this channel.
Saw the new vid. Said "YES", Liked first then watched. I been subscribed. Y'all and your videos ROCK!
Wonderful! I have watched every video of yours.keep doing good things.
Dont even have words to appreciate this magnificent work. I bow to you.
A beautiful documentary that I must share with my children.
I really like you mentioning who discovered what and when. The history of discovery.
Unbelievably professional, bravo!
Well done... this is the best thing on youtube.

Amazing content as always
I was searching for a good video about the categories of life for many years and this is amazing!
Archea lives everywhere including on and in ourselves. They were discovered in extremen environments, but we're later found virtually everywhere
Love this channel and eagerly await each new video as it is uploaded. Wonderful visuals, narration and background music.
What a fantastic bit of knowledge, your expression and use of language is beautiful.
Congrats on the sponsors!
Brilliant. . The attainment of knowledge is a fundamental reason we are. .
I stand in awe in front of science, I feel very lucky that I can understand very tiny part of the natural world!
Very simple so that many can follow the chain of events. Worth watching!
