Man i just can't believe how awesome this series has been so far, never have i seen so much detail being put into all these eras before the dinosaurs even existed
Check out Nigel Marven's BBC series, they are older so they aren't up to date with all the new stuff, but he goes in depth on lots of these subjects in a really fun way.
@@edgeofsevnteen i've seen walking with monsters, it's great, but it doesn't have the same overview of all things going on as this series does, also doesn't cover the earlier parts of earths history in quite the same detail. Still it's amazing
You might like "The History of the Earth" (both the channel and series name) here on UA-cam. Detailed, has historical context behind each discovery, talks a lot about the earlier parts of Earth's history that usually don't get covered (they haven't gotten to even the SEMI-popular animals yet!), and the atmosphere of the series is lovely. The last episode was about the Ediacaran, as I write this.
There's something, poetic, in how this single event. This one extinction, which took so much of the life on this planet, was named so simply 'the great dying'.
@@starmaker75, formally, it's the Permian-Triassic extinction event, but colloquially, if any such event deserves this moniker of "the Great", it's undeniably this.
I mean, in fairness, there is some evidence the Siberian Traps were set off themselves by a massive impact. They were directly antipodal to the Wilkes Land anomaly in Antarctica, which appears to be the biggest crater on Earth(appears to be cause it is hard to study being beneath miles of ice)
It’s like getting shot and you’re like “geez that hurt, never wanna get shot again” but then your body’s like “Oh yeah watch this” and your stomach explodes
It's so sad to see what happened with the Trilobites, they really managed to get through so many things, they just couldn't handle the ocean's acidification in The Great Dying.
@@WokeandProudI dont think he’s talking about trilobites. We can’t just have trilobites and leave everything else. If trilobites survived many other species would have as well, and that very well could’ve altered evolution to the point that we didn’t evolve as we are.
Just want you to know that I and my 7 year old grandson have been watching your series about Earth history. He loves it, especially when you evolve into a new creature. He also like TimTim. He has learned a lot about the history of the Earth, enjoys explaining what he has learned to his mom and dad, and they are suitably impressed.
The one thing that makes me the saddest is the trilobites. They just seemed so friend-shaped, and they lasted through so much. I'm sad they never made it to modern day. If I ever get to go fossil hunting in my state, I'm hoping to find a fossil of one (Ohio has many Ordovician age fossil deposits, but it's directly opposite of where I am)
If you think Trilobites are friend-shaped, do you play with a lot of millipedes and cockroaches? Because they look like a mix of the two. How do you feel about deep-sea arthropods? They are about as close to a living analog as you can get. And I don't have any friends shaped like that!
@Coleman Moore I keep isopods of various sizes and colors in my bioactive reptile setups, and I love them! I also breed dubia roaches as feeders, but I try not to get attached because I know they're destined to be eaten (Circle of Life. My beardies love them). I also keep tarantulas. My definition of "friend-shaped" is probably much more varied than most people 😆
And seeing that in the time table on the Wikipedia page of the Triassic there is a marked point about 8 million years after the Great Dying: full recovery of woody trees.
No one has brought the reality of time and evolution so close to understanding on a truly visceral level as this. I appreciate your solemn and weighty treatment of this moment (1 million years!) in our history. I adore this series (and all your presentations) for its educational and personable approach. Well done Sir and every entry is a greater treat than the previous.
I know this comment was made over a year ago, but if you liked this, I highly recommend "The Deadliest Pattern In Nature" by GutsickGibbon, which covers every mass extinction event, their causes, and how the ecosystem recovered.
The solemn presentation of this catastrophic event really brings home just how devastating The Great Dying was. I'm glad you went with a dedicated video for this event. Thank you for such a great video!
Great episode. I especially appreciate that you played down the humor you have had in previous ones, giving credence to the grimness of this time in Earth's history. Mind you, I enjoy some humor, especially Tim-Tim, but here it wouldn't have been appropriate.
I love how you tell this story with the somber tone it is due. The scale of the Great Dying is so immense it touches on an existential and cosmic dread few other events can. And imagine not knowing the pure delight a snail 🐌 can bring.
This is probably the best episode yet. Your voice really conveys the true severity of this devastating event with proper cadence and gravitas. Keep up the great work 💜💜
Thanks for focusing on this 'moment' in history.. I've always been fascinated with the Great Dying. Just the level of catastrophe it was, and for how long it lasted.. it's incomprehensible. And with the series, getting just the taste of the sense of how long some of the groups that finally died out lasted before this.. really adds to the devastation. The Smithsonian Natural History museum had a little place last I visited where it compared the sea floor before and after and it's just... stunning, not only how much emptier it is but how much more monotonous it is... one or two corals instead of dozens, a single type of fish instead of hundreds.. devastating and yet brings to mind parallels of how we have worked our environments
Imagine all the death. Just being one of the few animals living, and seeing all the dead carcasses around you. Like not just of your species, but EVERYTHING.
I definitely wonder what kind of world we would have if not for the Great Dying. I also like to consider how different things would have been with the Great Dying, but without the End Triassic Extinction. The Age of Reptiles, but the Dinosaurs get some competition.
There would be no difference because this event didn't happen. It was just one part of the inundating phase of Noah's flood. Ecosystems, not eras. Ocean bottom 👉 mid ocean 👉 shallow seas 👉 marshes 👉 coasts 👉 inland/high altitude 👉 more mobile and less dense creatures like sauropods, air breathing marine creatures, and birds.
And how the synapsids after hundreds of millions of years, when the creatures they shared the world with (the temnospondyls, the anapsids, the trilobites, and more) were gone with no descendants and replaced by arcosaurs, then, as unlikely as if the anomalocarids would return and dominate the seas, then the synapsids were back with a vengeance.
I've gotta say I wasnt expecting an entire episode on the great dying but I am very grateful to get one also it almost seems like you could potentially make several episodes on just this one topic. Just wish I didn't have to wait for it to come out even if it is only a few extra minutes haha.
it's actually pretty amazing how often jupiter has essentially saved us from possible impacts that originate from outside the solar system. doesn't help us with the asteroid belt but still. one example was jupiter pulled in a huge asteroid and there was a noticeable blotch in its red spot for awhile.
Honestly this series is better than most series I've seen that go over the history of the earth and prehistoric animals. The quality, presentation, narration, etc are just amazing. Keep doing amazing work, dude!
I love the somber tone you put to this. It really encapsulates the devastating loss of life that comes with mass extinctions, and it’s especially sad to think of what our oceans could’ve looked like had The Great Dying never happened. Thank you for these videos, you’ve done such an amazing job with them!
My god! This series is fantastic! And it just so happens you have the absolute perfect voice to narrate it. I really can't wait for the next instalment..... hurry up!!
I have watched all of these already, but the other day I sat here and watched all of them in a row. I thank you for putting out such high quality and well researched material. I can't wait to watch them all in a row again after another few million years of content
I love this series so much. It’s honestly what child me wished I could have learned instead of the patch work I was taught in school. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us
Have watched all ten in this series and look forward to the continuation of them until the present. They are very well made and you must feel proud of your accomplishment. Congratulations and I hope to see the next episode soon. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce them.
This is a beautiful series and this was a wonderful episode too. I cannot praise your work enough and cannot wait to see more. Thank you for giving us something to look forward to and keep up the amazing work!
As always this series is one of the things I perk up seeing it come out. I'm glad you did this as it's own episode as well because it's a large topic that seemingly gets glossed over and moved on by alot of people on the way to dinosaur land.
I just stumbled on this series and this is the 3rd I’ve watched so far, I think this is my favorite so far! I am loving this series!! J can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
I was really looking forward to this video and you delivered. Makes me wish that there was a "Day the Dinosaurs Died" type documentary for the Great Dying event.
They were, in a loose comparison, the unkillable trilobites/cockroaches of the Permian-Triassic-somehow survived the unsurvivable, and were literally everywhere.
Great channel. You're script and narration are perfect so natural and not rushed or spouting info or stats like some channels. It really does feel like going on a journey. Thanks 😊
Never seen a video that goes into so much detail about how the Traps function mechanically. Super interesting and truly terrifying. Thanks a bunch and keep up this stellar work.
There is a Harvard press book called"the great dying". And oh man is it a good read. I wanna give props as as brief as this vid is on the subject you hit all theain points of a 200+ page scientific book. This was about the best breakdown I've ever seen. Great job!
A video on giant beavers would be great! If i remember correctly, there are fossilized giant dams along the Mackenzie River, Northwest Territories, Canada... it would be interesting i think... thanks for your work, it's an awesome resource for learning!
Thanks for the effort you put into your videos that make them interesting, entertaining & educational. I have learnt new stuff & refreshed some old memories. Onward to the Mesozoic! 😁
This has been such an awesome series. And as sad as the great dying is, i do know what happens, although it takes a very long time. So hang on guys. Your day will be coming!
Yeah, compared with the family tree of diapsids, the tree of the synapsids gives the impression of being severely mutilated, though a bit better than the anapsids...
This is the best explanation of the great dying I've ever come across. You taught me some new stuff about it and I thought I knew basically all I needed to about it
Man I love this series so informative I knew a lot of earth’s history but it’s so awesome seeing it in the video with your voice and Tim Tim , great work
The visuals are truly awesome. Great stuff in every way. It's a sad thing about the nature of existence that so much suffering and death is involved in finally you and I arriving here. Life is awesome.
Can't imagine what it must've been like to live in a dark broken world like that. Truly horrifying... Great video as always! Can't wait for the triassic!
One thing that may have exacerbated the effects of the flood basalts is the remains of a lot of coal seams in the area. It is suspected that, as the magma plumed upwards, it spread horizontally into these seems, burning that coal. As we know, coal is about the dirtiest of fossil fuels, and the vast quantities of burning coal would be released from magma vents across the traps. Thus, not only were there gases and aerosols in the atmosphere from the eruption, but there was also the impact of climate change like we see today. The Great Dying is a fair analog for the anthropogene climate change of today and what it could cause if left unchecked.
Ocean dead zones (low oxygen) are expanding, largely due to fertilizer runoff. Meanwhile, less Antarctic bottom water is being formed as the Southern Ocean warms, which could potentially shut down ocean circulation. And almost all coral reefs will die off soon (within a couple decades, likely sooner) as ocean waters warm.
Excellent timing, I just watched binged the series. This was a heavy one. You could hear it in his voice from the beginning. It's staggering to think what was lost when an age ends and there's a changing of the guard - or in this case, wiped to a blank slate. On one hand, their loss is the only reason the next gen got to be the next gen, because that wasn't happening with them still running the show. But on the other hand, evolution on a whole is a game of finding good enough, yet better than the direct competition. Ergo; when you consider last gen's style of doing what they do was completely lost, I wonder if what eventually filled that niche actually does it any better or just settled on good enough.
Great video! Really looking forward to the next in this series. The diversity produced after the Great Dying makes the Triassic my favorite time period.
Very nice series. Good choice for taking a whole episode on this event as it is indeed a very important one. Hard to comprehend that a mass extinction can take place over a period of a million years. It shows how tiny we still are in the whole evolution story. Great job!
Thank you so much. I will be honest, there are some things in life that are making it very difficult for me to keep going with this but these words of encouragement from wonderful people like you have helped me a lot. So I really appreciate it. ❤️
Poor Permian animals. - It was impossible to survive. Astonishing that anything did. This was a good video, but I wanted it to be longer. I wanted to know more about what plant life survived this...and how. You mentioned what plants died, but not what survived and whether or not lystrosaurus ate something that was also still abundant in order for itself to be so abundant. It appears to have an unusual mouth. Two saber-toothed tusks AND beaked? What sort of plants does that mouth eat?
@@thaliazelmer2327 😄 yes. Maybe, underground roots! Tusks and beak might be used for digging and burrowing deep into the ground to find beet, carrot, and potato-like plants. (...If such plants existed then???)
I remember reading somewhere that the source of the Great Dying was a mystery with theories ranging from a meteor impact to a gamma ray burst. This video talking about a mantle plume causing a mass release of greenhouse gases makes the most sense of all the theories I have read about so far. For all the horrors that space can unleash upon the Earth, none are as dangerous as the horrors on the Earth because they are already here with us.
When you get to the modern day, it'd be interesting to look forward. Like how plates will move and the possible effects on the climate, ending with Pangea Proxima. Love the series, keep up the good work!
Absolutely terrific work. I have enjoyed this series immensely. I wanted to find a well put together series on the history of life/the earth and yours is the only i found. I was worried about the lack of selection but my worries have been replaced by excitement at finding such well made content. Thank you
great video. really wanna comment on your overall presentation in the past few vids. not sure if it’s because you’re settled after moving or what but your delivery of the script has been fantastic. the narration was great before but you’re coming into your own and it’s obvious
Again I must say you are a great narrator. You have a great voice for it. The content is very interesting and keep you full interested in the story. Well done. Be blessed.

The great dying was named after Michael Jordan
There's something, poetic, in how this single event. This one extinction, which took so much of the life on this planet, was named so simply 'the great dying'.

Wuh- THAT long? Christ… and all that extinction was bad enough.

Beautiful series. It does a great job of showing the drama and pain life has had to endure from its first appearance all the way to us.
I do wonder when the next upload wil be i am looking forward to the continuation of this series
This is the best explanation of the great dying I've ever come across. You taught me some new stuff about it and I thought I knew basically all I needed to about it
Ths is the best earth-history channel on the net. And Tim Tim cracks me up.
This is absolutely my favorite series of all time. Better than game of thrones. I truly respect you and your awesome content.
Man I love this series so informative I knew a lot of earth’s history but it’s so awesome seeing it in the video with your voice and Tim Tim , great work
The visuals are truly awesome. Great stuff in every way. It's a sad thing about the nature of existence that so much suffering and death is involved in finally you and I arriving here. Life is awesome.
This series has become my new favourite to follow in terms of prehistory, you're doing an excellent work with this series as well :D
Can't imagine what it must've been like to live in a dark broken world like that. Truly horrifying...
Great video as always! Can't wait for the triassic!
One thing that may have exacerbated the effects of the flood basalts is the remains of a lot of coal seams in the area. It is suspected that, as the magma plumed upwards, it spread horizontally into these seems, burning that coal. As we know, coal is about the dirtiest of fossil fuels, and the vast quantities of burning coal would be released from magma vents across the traps. Thus, not only were there gases and aerosols in the atmosphere from the eruption, but there was also the impact of climate change like we see today. The Great Dying is a fair analog for the anthropogene climate change of today and what it could cause if left unchecked.
Ocean dead zones (low oxygen) are expanding, largely due to fertilizer runoff. Meanwhile, less Antarctic bottom water is being formed as the Southern Ocean warms, which could potentially shut down ocean circulation. And almost all coral reefs will die off soon (within a couple decades, likely sooner) as ocean waters warm.
I once did the math and we are generating more greenhouse gases per year than the great dying
Great series! Can’t wait for the rest!🍀💛🪸🦑🦕🌍
Excellent timing, I just watched binged the series. This was a heavy one. You could hear it in his voice from the beginning.
It's staggering to think what was lost when an age ends and there's a changing of the guard - or in this case, wiped to a blank slate. On one hand, their loss is the only reason the next gen got to be the next gen, because that wasn't happening with them still running the show.
But on the other hand, evolution on a whole is a game of finding good enough, yet better than the direct competition. Ergo; when you consider last gen's style of doing what they do was completely lost, I wonder if what eventually filled that niche actually does it any better or just settled on good enough.
This series - as much as all your other content - is simply SU-PERB! Easily one of my favourite channels. Thank you very very much.
Great video! Really looking forward to the next in this series. The diversity produced after the Great Dying makes the Triassic my favorite time period.
The tonal disparity with the other episodes is a really great choice when covering The Apocalypse
Love this series and all of your posts.
Always a good day when Paleo Analysis posts a video 💖
Please please come back to this series ;(
Very nice series. Good choice for taking a whole episode on this event as it is indeed a very important one. Hard to comprehend that a mass extinction can take place over a period of a million years. It shows how tiny we still are in the whole evolution story. Great job!
I'm glad that this topic got an entire video dedicated to itself it deserved.
I came across your channel and I love the content. I'm right into paleontology. Keep up the good work.✌️✨😎
Thank you so much. I will be honest, there are some things in life that are making it very difficult for me to keep going with this but these words of encouragement from wonderful people like you have helped me a lot. So I really appreciate it. ❤️
Well that was a quick follow up to the Late Permian video. What a pleasant surprise!
This series has been amazing. Please keep going.
Poor Permian animals. - It was impossible to survive. Astonishing that anything did. This was a good video, but I wanted it to be longer. I wanted to know more about what plant life survived this...and how. You mentioned what plants died, but not what survived and whether or not lystrosaurus ate something that was also still abundant in order for itself to be so abundant. It appears to have an unusual mouth. Two saber-toothed tusks AND beaked? What sort of plants does that mouth eat?
Tough ones?
@@thaliazelmer2327 😄 yes. Maybe, underground roots! Tusks and beak might be used for digging and burrowing deep into the ground to find beet, carrot, and potato-like plants. (...If such plants existed then???)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicroidium and similar plants - whatever sprouted to take over the dead forests.

I remember reading somewhere that the source of the Great Dying was a mystery with theories ranging from a meteor impact to a gamma ray burst. This video talking about a mantle plume causing a mass release of greenhouse gases makes the most sense of all the theories I have read about so far. For all the horrors that space can unleash upon the Earth, none are as dangerous as the horrors on the Earth because they are already here with us.
This is the best youtube series we've seen! Please keep them coming!!
When you get to the modern day, it'd be interesting to look forward. Like how plates will move and the possible effects on the climate, ending with Pangea Proxima. Love the series, keep up the good work!
Absolutely terrific work. I have enjoyed this series immensely. I wanted to find a well put together series on the history of life/the earth and yours is the only i found. I was worried about the lack of selection but my worries have been replaced by excitement at finding such well made content. Thank you
This takes me back to my childhood. Thank you.
One of the best UA-cam channels on history of life. Please keep going!
great video. really wanna comment on your overall presentation in the past few vids. not sure if it’s because you’re settled after moving or what but your delivery of the script has been fantastic. the narration was great before but you’re coming into your own and it’s obvious
Probably the best video I've seen on The Great Dying. Terrific work!
Excellent video. I didn't know about the chlorocarbon compounds. Seems like overkill.
Great work man! Love your videos.
I am loving this series, thank you so much!
Again I must say you are a great narrator. You have a great voice for it. The content is very interesting and keep you full interested in the story. Well done. Be blessed.
