For me too. Also the earliest Triassic is fascinating. I would also like to find a list, exhibition or documentary of most species so far known that survived these major extinctions, before they evolved into new things. Sort of the Creme de la Creme of the preceding age, that live in a changed world.

remarkable how much finer definition has been given to the explosion of Paleocene diversity, how quickly it took off. just an eye blink in the grand scheme, less than 1 million years

Probably religious people..

@@carlosmota2804 One dislike came from me for two reasons: 1. the loud ass music and 2. I want to see the rocks, etc. not the people. Ergo: 1 dislike.

You are so welcome!

Thanks!

@@biointeractive do you like taeniolabis they are cute

Thanks

Glad you think so!

Glad you enjoyed it

The most recent common ancestor between primates and cats probably was an ancestor of the magnorder Boreoeutheria and lived around 80 million years ago.

I guess the answer is that there must have been some plants.

Mushrooms, carcasses, surviving plants etc

@@thegameranch5935 Insects, many of which have wood drilling larva that would go nuts on all the death trees after the impact.

you can get a job as amateur excavator pretty easily. my brother used to assist in roman burial ground excavations. pretty sure its the same with paleontologists. because they want cheap or volunteering work force to do the hard work. its usually volunteers and students doing it. but some dig sites are pretty big so they want more people you do the hard work of hauling rocks around and digging, archeologists or paleontologist will come with brushes afterwards and then you stay quiet to get near them, dont touch anything and listen to them what was cool about almost 2000 year old skeletons on first glance from even an amatuer was that their teeth were pretty healthy, nice natural shape, and white. shows how refined sugars are destroying our teeth in modern times

mammals diverged around the same time as reptiles did from basal amniotes.. amniotes diverged into synapsids, diapsids and anapsids synapsids into mammals, diapsids into reptiles, and anapsids into (debatably)turtles and bunch of other extinct animals... all around the same time so yea, mammals were around long before kt extinction event. they just didnt manage to adapt fast enough to be competition to the dinosaurs. which proved in the end to be a lucky advantage because mammals more easily survived the extinction event because of being small and able to burrow

Thanks!

Seeds. They can lie dormant for many years and then germinate. So even when mature plants are gone, seeds will eventually sprout and regenerate the plant communities

Its also worth noting the continental states were almost ground zero as far as the asteroid was concerned, the vegetation recovery was probably quicker in other regions farther away, so chances are some broad leaf trees were already germinating soon after the initial impact winter in more secluded areas. The same is true for mammals, btw, in Western NA only 4 to 6 species of mice-sized mammals survived the impact, and, as far as we know, they might not had been ancestral to any of the later Puercan North American mammals (unless Protoungulatum turns out to be a basal ungulate, but that's debatable), newer species sort of pop out in the fossil record, which likely means they were immigrants from Asia through Beringia or Europe through Greenland, with even some exchanges from South America being possible, unfortunately we have a very poor fossil record from that age in those places 😅

The more I learned, the more I move away from God. All religious texts seem like work of fiction. I am atheist now! Thanks to Science!

@@yashas9974 Well, for me, God would be Nature itself, the workings of the Universe, and the unimaginably complex and precise mechanisms that run it. Organized religion is all manmade.

casey luskin is an idiot who lies to you and you believe him.

It’s called palatalization. It’s really common in English. It’s also the reason why brigge became “bridge” and scip became “ship”. Considering the word comes from the Latin ‘speciēs’, pronounced more like ‘spek-ee-ays’ (in the Classical pronunciation), it’s hard for us to judge what may be the ‘correct’ pronunciation in English! ‘Spee-sheez’ is the preferred variant in the UK. Elsewhere, it can vary.

Who says the narrator is a scientist?
