Yeah this guy is apparently to lazy to provide his own narration, he just plagiarizes TV programs and copies/pastes text from actual paleontologists which is read by a robot so he can try to get some money off of other people's effort, that's what youtube is nowadays
I'm trying really hard to enjoy the channel, cuz it's a really great content, but it's being a really hard task to understand that robotic voice-over. But thank you for sharing anyway
It isn’t him narrating, it’s a text-to-speech program. Personally, I don’t mind at all, buuut... if he ever does decide to change this to a real person, then I bet this would result in a boom of new subscribers
Sometimes the sentences run together, making the narration harder to understand. If he doesn't switch to recording his own voice, he should closely review the texts before converting them to speech. Often it's just a punctuation or formatting issue. Personally I hope he starts recording his own voice. This TTS one comes very close to the "uncanny valley" for me, making it a bit unnerving.
You have to remember, we only have a small glimpse of life from this time period and in only a few places. There are more places that we have yet to find. And definitely more life that never got to fossilize. There's still more fossils to uncover from different parts of the world from this time period. And I'm sure they will be weirder than you can imagine.
Dear Anthöny, I really love your channel and your videos. I know you already have a few small videos on Ediacaran biota, but I was wondering if you could make a more updated and detailed video on Ediacaran Fauna and the Avalon Explosion, like you did with the Cambrian Explosion in this video. Also, a video on invertebrate chordates(lancelets “cephalochordata” and tunicates “urochordata”) would be lovely as well. Thank you and keep up the great work :)

I've made a video about Proterozoic a month ago if you want
@ Thank you so much for the recommendation; I just watched the video and enjoyed it very much. As I mentioned at the end of the comment, I know you have a video on early fish, but I think a video on Urochordates and Cephalochordates would be quite interesting, as I feel that these organisms are quite underrated. I also wanted to ask you for some more worm-related content. I watched the worm video you made a while ago and loved it, but I noticed that you did not really talk about Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, or Xenoacoelomorpha. A video on these other “worms” would be great. You are my favourite RU-vidr, and I hope you continue to make great videos.
@ could you do the same as this video but more about the silurian/ devonian periodes ? Greetings from Holland from a hardcore fan and keep up the great work and series !
@@tommyhijmensen6257 good idea! I would like to see and learn more about the early Land plants and the first animals on land in Silurian. Such like millipedes and amphibian scorpions. And also the first trees, seed plants and tetrapodes of the Devonian.
My favourite Time is the Cambrian, the Devonian and the Carboniferous. I would like so much to see the carbonian Swamps and their inhabitants. Or the first Land plants in Silurian or the first trees and tetrapodes in Devonian. But the Cambian is the most fascinating and enigmatic time ever there is life on Earth....
i really like the calming music & nature sounds etc. that you use on the background. i also find the slightly robotic sounding narration kind of relaxing, even though i understand why others might find it distracting.
Hello, I study the paleobiology of the Cambrian period. For my part, it is the most interesting period in the history of life on Earth. Many essential things appear at this period, and it gives us the keys to understand the evolutionary path. My only regret is that the paleontological treasures of the Burgess or Chengjiang shales are not more widespread on our planet. As important as our knowledge is, we have only found a small portion of what lived half a billion years ago. I really enjoyed your video. It deals with the subject very well and is very illustrative! Congratulations, your videos are always very interesting !
Love your videos and was thrilled to see tiny fragments of my video in yours (pieces of crinoids at 2:08 and 3:45). Let me know if you need any original visuals with real fossils (we have a wide range of them) or drawings. Will be happy to share free of charge. Cheers!
Lol the fact that he stole your contents and didn't even acknowledge your friendly attitude and desire to be of more help just stings doesn't it? Like I stole from you now f off.
Cmon man! The content is excellent but the voice bot keeps getting worse until the point now it’s annoying. It keeps pausing to much at awkward moments and lags. Sounds rushed again.
I really like your channel and honestly I enjoy the text-to-speech narrator, though I know others have a hard time with it. I recommend you take a look at the channel 11dragonkid, as they are someone who uses text-to-speech VERY effectively and perhaps you could pick up a few things from them. Plus their content on the lore of the Lancer TTRPG is really interesting if you are in to sci-fi.
You need to either review the script's punctuation (to ensure that text-to-speech makes pauses between words when needed), read the script yourself or get somebody to read it for you. This content is too good to be ruined by text-to-speech issues.
Could you add subtitles? Maybe it's because i'm not a native english speaker, but i can't understand very well what is being narrated (i don't mind the voice or the "robotic accent", but the pauses end up making the sentences a bit confusing)
One of the most comprehensive portrayals of the Cambrian and it's creatures, their likely development and interactions that I've seen. Beautiful animations too! Thanks for this.
The text-to-speech is so poor that it’s too confusing to watch this video :( Which is a shame because it clearly contains very interesting information. I think the problem is that whoever wrote this script doesn’t have very good grammar. There should be pauses between certain words and sentences by using commas or periods. But instead things blur together and half the time I have no idea what it was trying to say
Great video man. Hopefully you can tweak the text to speech a bit so other people can get into the videos more easily, personally I didn't mind but maybe you can make it a bit slower for them. Or use a different tts voice
That’s probably not true. The core and mantle were hotter the further back you go. The hotter the inside, the more buoyant the crust was. So early tectonics probably happened a lot differently. Subduction sometimes failed because the plates were too buoyant. When subduction did happen, the didn’t subduct so deep.
I love how we all started 500 mya , just sophisticated animals....... Edit: also Mesozoic era is my favourite. I hope they'll be keeped confined for science study. And also released them ofc.
Robot voice makes many run-on sentences causing untruths because you can't understand what it is saying so it just becomes a big sentence that has false information strewn throughout it which causes pain and agony in real science and truth is for they have no idea how long it is just one of those things that you have to be to work at least you have to try it out and then we can go and get mad when you have to be a number of articles describing words that start to get their stuff in my life and the people who are supposed to get a grip on what you mean. LoL

Your sentence was reeeally long, you should put some points sometimes! I know people who speak English don't like that robotic voice, but lot of non Anglo-saxon people appreciate that "generic" voice. I put points in my texts I don't know why it doesn't work every time. + English isn't my main language, my own voice would be a lot uglier + there's no fasle informations, if you find something I can correct it's OK I can do that but you say nothing special about. + Don't be masochist if my videos are really too painful!
If it takes an earth like planet to harbour life I bet the life there followed a similar evolutionary path , fish will be like fish etc convergent evolution is quite prolific so same conditions on a different planet will eventually favour what works for said environment. Intelligent life at the least needs to be the same or similar design to us , we wouldn't be able to do what we do without these evolutionary attributes and abilities.
I am not a scientist. But in fact it is more interesting and complicated From what I have read, it is more correct to differentiate protostomes (arthropods, mollusks, worms ...) and deuterostomes (stars and sea cucumbers, chordates...). We are chordate deuterostomes. I recently read a theory: Bones, originally, were a reservoir of phosphorus and calcium. Evolution always reuses things and gives them another purpose. Cheers!
Latin and Greek names are pronounced literally as spelled. A=ah; E=eh; I=ee; O=oh; U=oo. Also, you should narrate in sentences, not as a random jumble of words.
