Moving forward through time, we now come to a very important and interesting chapter in the history of life. The Carboniferous is a time when the land was truly fully populated for the first time with plants and animals. As a global rainforest spread across the world and our tetrapod ancestors had to contend with massive bugs super charged by the high oxygen atmosphere.

I think I also read somewhere that during the Carboniferous, certain molds and bacteria that are able to digest plant matter/detritus didn't exist yet. So in other words, plants and trees would eventually die and get replaced, but the plant matter that they left behind didn't decompose because there were no organisms (yet) to take advantage of it. This is also why the carbon remained locked in the trees even after they died. It's such a weird thing to think about. There were endless forests but no rotting leaves on the ground.
Only thing I'd be scared of is the crunch factor with all these beasts (especially insects) and the fires, but damn me if I didn't run around like a dumb kid playing with the leaves until I was eaten alive 😂
Yes! So rainforests today don't make soil carbon storage the same way they did back then. The coal and oil we got in the Carboniferous is the only supply we've got
This has been disputed.
It was chiefly the depositional of environment. There were many more lowlands and swamps at this time.
With lots of debris lying around, forest fires would be crazy intense.
@@aidenmartin6674 Debris? Oxygen levels were the true risk there. Even a small fire would be extremely hazardous. Just imagine, being in an environment that is on constant risk of "explosion".
One of the most interesting periods of earth's history. They must have had some insane fire seasons with that much atmospheric oxy!
The plants had higher H2O content to try to combat the fire risk. :)
Wonder if anything tried becoming fireproof
@@kennethsatria6607 Could be. Many Australian plants are fire-adapted, resistant to fire or spreading fire resistant seeds.
This is what most young earth creationist think what the atmosphere during the age of the dinosaurs is like. However it's the wrong era!
@@careypridgeon that's also what young earth creationist also think
It doesn't need to be said, except to feed the almighty algorithm, but this is one of the best series on UA-cam right now. Keep up the amazing work and educating the world of our past.
I did love the line "did you think that's going to stop now that we're on land?" 00:51
IKR!? 😅
this is my favourite series on UA-cam, can’t tell you how excited I was for this episode!
This series is everything I ever wanted about Paleo content, mate. I'm really glad I found your channel.
It's not necessarily confirmed that higher oxygen levels are the primary reason certain arthropods reached large sizes in this period. Mark P. Witton, for instance, writes that Pulmonoscorpius may be able to do fine at current oxygen levels if its respiratory system functioned as well as a coconut crab's.
Valid point. Good comment.
There's always many factors into the evolutionary size of animals. These prehistoric arthropods had a ton of space to be temporarily dominant.
Also keep in mind there there weren’t very many vertebrate megafauna so insects took up the role. Like how giant tortoises took the role of grazers in the Galapagos.
Tiktaalik was our high school meme. We felt so sorry for him. His eyes in all the pictures were so sad, as if he understood everything and was disappointed in everything.
Tiktaalik had seen enough enough shit. It was time for him to leave.
Some of the ones I've seen have a big dopey grin though, it's not all bad for Mr Tiktaalik.
Contrary to what some might infer from the context it got presented in the "coconut crab" Birgus latro (@09:56) isn't breathing through trachea - instead it spends its plantonic larvae stadia and its early life as a more developed young crayfish breathing through gills (and carries an empty shell on its back as all hermit crabs are known for but will eventually grow too big to find shells and will further carry its abdomen bend under its carapax) until it switches to a terrestrial lifestyle. It now will breath with something one could call "pseudo lungs" - one can clearly recognize the pair of bulbs its shell forms on its back to create the cavities for B. latro's lung analogs in the provided image.
A global rain forest! With no predators big enough to eat me, the Carboniferous sounds like a perfect tourist destination - if only the high oxygen level didn't cause my internal organs to spontaneously combust! Oh, and congrats on your and TimTim's latest evolutionary advance :)
Giant bugs...giant...bugs...bugs..no thanks
I don't need that I can eat Chipotle for that
As long as you like dog sized Scorpions and eagle sized Dragonfly’s.
The high amount (10%) of CO2 would be even more dangerous than the O2. It would kill you in minutes, not in hours.
I think you missed the three meter long predatory amphibians.
Be careful of the waters edge
I misheard you talking about Pulmonoscorpius and had to do a double take at the 77 meter long scorpion. Such a relief knowing that didn't happen.
Same here🤭
learned more history from a legged fish than 4years of highschool
Isn't highschool supposed to be three years? :) (don't ask me how long I took....)
It is not in the best interest of the Government to have you peons gettin’ all educatered!!!
@@karldubhe8619 it's 4 in USA but 3 sounds good to me
@@Local_yokels_monsters_myths and that's why only 66% think the world is round
Same. The most I got out of high school on that note was an episode of Walking with Dinosaurs.
Actually, whilst large amounts of 02 no doubt helped, many palaeontologist believe that the major reason for all the giant arthropods was due to a lack of competition with vertebrates, in particular ammonites. Due to not needing to molt an exoskeleton, we could grow to megafaunal size much faster & with much less energy expenditure.
The millipedes evolved before the carboniferous oxygen spike and the griffonflies survived well after.
"We"? Now I'm just impressed that this comment exists at all. Doesn't seem like human typing instruments would fit arthropods well under any circumstances.
@Todd Crabtree
You completely misread/misunderstood what I said.
I suspect you mean amniotes instead of the invertebrate ammonites😅
@@martijn9568 I blame autocorrect
I was very much looking forward to this part. You hear about all the things like big bugs and amphibians, all about the forests but almost never why it all collapsed. Certainly I am glad you're making these videos
I literally just found this series a few hours ago and now I get more?? Amazing!
Been so hyped for this
This is terrific series of videos. I'm thrilled whenever a new installment is released.
That's the best example of product placement I have ever seen. This series is brilliant.
We all know what comes next, and you and Tim-Tim better be ready for it, because Siberia is about to get _mean_ .
These videos are such a treat to watch. Thank you for this amazing series.
By far my favorite ongoing palaeo series on UA-cam right now!
Can't wait for the Permian video, especially Inostrancevia!
I absolutely adore this series and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel a few months ago. Thanks for all the amazing content you bring us! I look forward to more amazing stuff in the future!
I may need to start making content so I can expound about early insects and plants :D
Love this series so much
There needs to be more content like that 👀
Another thoroughly engaging episode. Thank you for making our education about these time periods, fun and exciting. You do a wonderful job!
Every time a new episode of this comes out, I always want to go back and watch the whole series again.
Thank you for posting this today. I needed this. I had a rough day today and this was so relaxing to come home to. 💜
This series is so awesome. Had been waiting for this one. Next up: Permian period!! So hyped!
It's finally here! One of my favorite periods, I've been looking forward to this episode.
One of my favorite time periods!! Thanks for the extra-long video!
My favorite time period EVER!
So very excited for each instalment.
I was just thinking about this series yesterday, I'm so excited now.
Amazing video, as always!! Thanks for the content!!
As always, great content! Congrats on the evolution.
Yeessss! Being looking forward for a new episode! Thanks mate!👍🙏
Well done, thank you for this video 😸
Woohoo! Ive been waiting for this video!
Really enjoyable and educational content, thanks so much. Delighted I found your channel. I’m watching for the last few months, I’ve caught up on all your videos, really quality production 😊
I'm here for it! Gotta show these to my kids in order to get them into some sweet education.
This series is really coming together, I'm excited to see future installments
Thank you for the great video and awesome content!!
Alleluia!Best Notification I Have Gotten Today!
Only thing I learned in school is teachers have favoritism....they don't favor you, you don't learn...glad for shows like this!
Love your videos man, keep it up.
Another fascinating video. Loving this series.
What a pleasant surprise.
A great video teaching us about a fascinating period 👍
Just two points.
1. Early synapsids had some upsides over early sauropsids, but ðe same is true ðe oðer way round. For example, sauropsids have tough beta-pleated horn proteins while we only have alpha-helical horn-proteins.
2. Not all sauropsids had two openings behind each eye; ðe diapsids did, but many basal sauropsids ("anapsids") didn’t.
I’d love you to make a video about a spellbinding group of reptiles (= amniotes) from ðis spellbinding period, who pioneered parental care (Dendromaia, Heleosaurus), have been definitively shown to possess squamate-like scales (Ascendonanus), and have ðe first known two-legger in ðeir ranks (Cabarzia): the varanopids.
ð = th right?
@pointyorb7 Yes, 'Ð/ð' (Ðæt) means ðe 'th'-sound in "that". By contrast, 'Þ/þ' (Þorn) means ðe 'th'-sound in "thorn".
Your channel makes life a little more awesome with every addition to the series.
Fun, informal and informative. I always look forward to your episodes 👍
Awesome! Been waiting for this one for a while. Keep it up! 👍
This series has been giving me the hope and curiosity I need to find a reason to be here... sincerely thank you.
I love your videos. Informative, concise, but also very fun. Thanks for all you do.
I'm honestly looking really forward to finding out what TimTim's final form will be. We all know (or at least hope) you're going to evolve back into Steve... TimTim always seems to be something closely related but not identical. Maybe he'll be a chimp. But I'm personally hoping for a ruffed lemur.
I am too, I love that Tim Tim has become our little buddy on this journey through time. I hope he still makes appearances in videos after this series is over 👾
Great video! I am really enjoying these!
this video series is awesome and you do such a good job explaining things in easy to understand language. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for making the start of my day more awesome.
Your best one yet! I can't wait for the next one!!
Amazing video as always! I'm so happy your channel exists :D
Nice video, you got a new sub! Can’t wait for the next period!
Thanks Buddy! entertaining and informative!
You're onto something special with this series, it's so good to see a paleontology channel work hard to be entertaining and grow as a result. Keep it up!.
This is such a great channel. I love it.
I love the Carboniferous period!! It's my fav with the Ordovician and Silurian. They're all severely underrated
Subscribed, I enjoyed this, very informative and entertaining
You absolutely rock as a science presenter. Your avatar leveling up is hilarious and your content is presented in an entertaining and understandable way. I'm always delighted to see a new video by you. It will be a sad day when we run out of earth periods. ;-)
What a great channel! All information is presented in a very clear, well-written, and narrated, (and often humorous), manner. Top notch Youtubing!
O hell yeh! Ive been waiting for another one of these.
Wooo! These new videos always make my day
The Carboniferous period is my favorite geographical period! 😍 I just find it so fascinating!
This was provided by the algorithm. I watched the intro and stopped, went back and watch all the previous videos first. Now I'm back.
You do splendid work. Thank you.
Very good episode!
Yaaaay Carboniferous video!! Thanks for all your great content!
Great episode!!
Opening up UA-cam today to see this pop up first thing made my day.
Amazing Video! Impossible to stuck this period in a short Video and explain everything correctly! False, you dit it quite well! 🖖🤓
Interesting to so how the tiny guys evoled 🙃 I am very excited to see where this journey will take us! 😅😉
However, one thing has to be added to this video. One thing must not forget... how much food there was on land. An oversupply. And almost no serious competition for these resources. These were further factors why the arthropods could reach and maintain such an immense size. Oxygen levels alone are not the only factor. There were times when there was a similarly high level of oxygen, but the arthropods never reached that size again. 😉 And this is the reason why, IMO.
Dude I love your vids so much I saw you uploaded a new history vid and literally gasped
cool vid, I like this series a lot
I finally found the best time to watch this great channel. I get in bed were it is nice and quiet and relaxing and can fully enjoy this fantastic presentation of our past. Thank you.
Love your content!! ❤
Thank you for a very interesting videos. I enjoyed watching and learning. Look forward to the next video
Thank you so much for these videos. You sir, are a legend in my book and what you're doing here is incredibly important.
Fantastic as always, can't wait for the Permian discussion. Hope y'all are doing alright after the hurricane 🙌
This is awesome! Can't wait for the Permian and Triassic - those are some of my favorites!
Very NICE
Got to be one of my favorite periods!
You have a really good way of speaking and giving information that makes it very enjoyable. Thanks :)
great stuff!
Well that was bloody fascinating
I think we need merch of Tim-Tim talking about goo 😂
Another great video! Looking forward to the next one as well!
Caught this so early multicellular life hadn't even formed yet
Ah Yes another Great video from Paleo Analysis love History of the earth series keep it up and god i love Tim Tim He might be my favourite;)
Can you imagine a wildfire in the Carboniferous era?? It would be INSANE
I love this series so fascinating btw NEXXXXXXT
oh eff yeah, a new analysis, and about my favourite age on top of that!
this is a good day!
Been sick with Covid for the last two days, thank you for making the time go by faster.
Keep it up, Paleo guy!
Man I get to wake up to this! Today shall be a good day I think.
Great stuff
Absoloutley in love with this channel
