The Evolution of early Plants 

Fantastic information and great visual content - BUT completely ruined by a robotic voiceover! If this was properly narrated by a professional human voice it would be an incredible documentary.

There aren't many videos about fossil plants, great work

Man, this was amazing. I was always fascinated by these early plants and how weird and complex they looked despite being so primitive. I would have loved to see them in real life.

Finally, evolution about plants (and not animals) for once ! This is going to be very interesting !

Mentioned groups of plants and fossiles: 00:38 Spores of Ordovician rocks; 01:08 Cooksonia; 01:47 Green algae; 02:13 Mosses and Hornworts; 02:26 Psilophyton; 02:51 Cooksonia; 03:21 Macroalgae; 03:51 Baragwanathia; 05:37 Rhyniophyte; 05:43 Aglaophyton and Rhynia; 05:57 Asteroxylon; 06:21 Psilophyton; 07:28 Prototaxites; 08:29 Parka; 08:53 Coleochaete; 09:04 Rhynia; 09:48 Algaophyton; 10:16 Horneophyton; 10:54 Renalia; 11:26 Zosterophytes; 11:34 Zosterophyllum; 11:51 Zostera; 12:03 Lycopods; 12:06 Club-mosses; 12:10 Discalis; 12:48 Sawdonia; 13:21 Sciadophyton; 14:05 Protobarinophyton; 14:48 Minarodendron (Protolepidodendron); 15:23 Asteroxylon; 16:11 Psilophyton; 16:14 Euphyllophytes; 16:37 Cladoxylon; 17:08 Horsetail; 17:13 Ferns; 17:15 Hyena; 17:47 Calamophyton; 18:07 Wattieza; 18:20 Archaeopteris; 18:53 Conifers; 18:58 Progymnosperms; 19:03 Aneurophyton; 19:44 Rellimia; 20:26 Elkinsia; 20:56 Chamaedendron; 20:59 Lycophytes.

I find I have to concentrate on the video a lot to understand the content because of the text to speech. If you or someone else read off the script it would make it a lot easier to watch these videos IMO

Please do more purely plant based films! They are so rare in this zoocentrist world!!

Beautiful and brilliant presentation entirely about plants for once! Thank-you for taking the time to put all this great overview together!!

We've been waiting so long for this video!!! I know it's gonna be awesome

Who would have thought that the one evolution video nobody make would turn out to be so interesting.

Finally someone mentioned plants, also did you planning to create any spec plant?

Great video, love this kind of content. Good use of illustrations too

Yes! I have been waiting for this!

great way to start a Friday, thank you very much. more video's please, you do really good work.

So glad I discovered this channel

It was like sitting in a time machine taking me back millions of years! Thank you! And of course I'm subscribing right now ♥️

Wow😃 So much detailed information in one video. Im interested in antient plants. Subscribed👍

Crazy how even leaves are kind of a modern evolution in the grand scheme, I knew spores were a prehistoric thing too but I didn't know every plant had it at one point and now it's pretty much only ferns that still do it. It's just like the animal world, even thought heres millions of species, there has been billions more. like 95% of all life that has existed, is already gone

So it's been plants evolution that allowed terrestrial animal existence afterall. Animals existed even before plants, during the Cambrian period there were at minimum small marine invertebrates but not terrestrial animals, not even insects. Also the oxygen was at least given by the atmosphere, bacteria and ocean. Here's the first animals were living beings that eat other living beings.

Finally plants. They are overlooked in paleontology videos.

If these videos had a real narrator, they would be spectacular

Only just found this channel and love it, So very interesting Thank you!

You made 6 minutes feel like a 2 hour documentary. But there isn’t many videos about plant evolution 💀

Origins of plants

Fascinating stuff here!!! 👍

Amazing, without plant life there'd be no anything else.

Whoa

Plants, but pretty interesting ;-) Thanks for all your fine uploads!

More plants! More plants! MORE PLANTS!!!

This sounds interesting!!!!!!

Thank you, this was very impressive!

Excellent job, this video will be part of my Evolution class

You actually made plants interesting!!

the devonian and carboniferous were some of the most amazing periods of earth... it's a shame it didn't last forever

I like Pain!

Having pictures of what is being discussed helps me understand. I think a timeline with the different terms you are saying would help someone like me who doesn't know all the geological eras or whatever by heart understand better.

I find the evolution of plants and mycology to be fascinating. I would love to hear a video on the switch from C3 to C4

If I ever get my hands on a time machine this would be the first stop 😁

Thanks so much! Cool movies !

Amazing plants!

Very interesting

it's back, finally, after one milllion years

Thank - you .

Thanks!

Nice.

Definitely one of the eras I would have visited if I had a time machine

Flameo, Hotman!

I´ve changed my subscription on Curiosity Stream for this chanel, for better.

I wonder how many plants there are that we haven’t discovered yet

I'm a bio major and somehow I had no idea there are so many non-flowering plants!

Thanks

Please, next 300 million years ago animals evolution 🙏🙏🙏

Awesome video! Who is the artist who created the beautiful prehistoric plant landscapes in this video? I’d love to look at them more closely.

I am with Marc B in the comments section. Please do more plants content. We have enough stuff about animals.

The reconstruction shown at around 15:11 is that of Leclercqia sp. and not Minarodendron.

Dr. Ellie Satler would approve.

Plants are badass

The creepy pasta soundtrack is killing me 💀

What's with the upright rectangle in the upper left corner? Was this a National Geographic production?

What voice to text program do you use?

Love

Question; Was there an ozone layer before plants colonized the Earth?

Where did the bugs come from

Wonderfull ...but you talk to speed mr machine😁

If I had a Time Machine, I’d take 100 people, 50 cows 50 bulls, and 50 sheep, 50 rams, and live in the time before animals.

02:26 "Psilophyton here is a classic example of the confusion this can create: when it was found it was identified as the world's earliest plant but it is now thought to be a colony of animals related to graptolites". 😲Are you serious? Could you provide the source link please?

Good video but I can't with the auto tune style robot voice and then when you put the atmospheric music behind it, it's volume is too loud with respect to the weird robot voice for my hearing.

Since your doing the biology of Star Wars. Movies could you also do the biology of Godzilla or King Kong movies

The audio is really low

3:05 - "...some fossils have a dar k-stripe...". Please, ditch the computer voice. Drachinifel did, and his videos are all the better for it.

I love this content, but the robotic voice makes it hard to listen to. You might consider hiring a narrator.

I think your videos would see much more success if you got a human to narrate it! The monotone voice is unfortunately unbearable to me for more than a few minutes. Anyways, I subscribed. I love this kind of content. I hope you'll consider narrating it yourself, or getting someone to do it 😊

Cool, but obviously spell check was broken.

3:04 'Some fossils may have a dar kstripe'.

Imagine Cooksonia but fantasy 500 foot tall plant…

Good video good info fricking annoying robot voice I really don’t get why

very informative video but couldnt you find text to speech with better pronunciation? 😅

I just suddenly thinking if the current animal is evolved products what about plants.? And here i am

It would be nice if they talk slower and less like a computer, more like a person... I don't have time to register what they've already said before they add new information.

AI text to speech is going to have to improve a lot on voice inflection before the is actually bearable

I Love Jonna Napire 💜💚❤️ MAY 20, 2024

SHINRA TENSEI

Would be better without the background noise, it's very annoying

Aracea

Plant lore

You like kawasaki satoshi

Good and well-researched content. But so many of the pronunciations are badly mangled! Please ask your lecturer how to pronounce scientific terms in order to avoid sounding ignorant. Also it seems like you use a computer to generate the narration which has lots of wrongly accented words or reverse intonation on sentences making it seem like you don't know what you're talking about: @12:57 you spell out the word "PLA-NTS" instead of saying it, why?

Evolution of plants remake.

Good info, but the robot voice made me want to un-evolve.

it’s bangla doubing please

The first evidence of a bad video is the robo-voice.

Amazing. Too bad about the bot narration tho. No inflection and erroneous emphasis Seriously, so many people know how to read. You couldn't find someone to do 20 minutes?

Constructive criticism time. You sound like a male Siri. Relax and you will connect with your audience better. Good video on an under talked about topic.

This sounds like a computerized voice, doesn't sound good.

Why show plastids when talking of spores? Or show lichens when talking of plants. Very misleading.

Hire a real narrator and I’d subscribe in a heartbeat. Computer voices are no good.

Plants are just a different form of animal. Jeezus life is weird

I love hearing pseudoscience like in the age of Dinosaurs, plants used to be less-nutrient dense.

presenter sounds like an AI
