Before humans, before dinosaurs - there were the plants. But not as we know them!
DR ALY BAUMGARTNER is the Paleontology Collections Manager and Paleobotonist at Sternberg Museum of Natural History. Describing herself as a 'plant time-traveller', she studies how fossil plants help us with our understanding of life on earth and changes in our environment.
MARK from Evolution Soup times-travels with Aly to dive deep into the weird origins of plants as well as some of the most amazing examples of botanical evolution out there - everything from bug-eating plants to nine-thousand-year-old trees...

Love how this channel has the kind of content you don't get anywhere else

I love Aly's passion and enthusiasm regarding this fascinating subject. I learned a lot even at age 62. I only wish I had teachers like her growing up!!!

Howdy! I'm a paleomycology student ( ancient fungi ) I very much appreciate your talk here & would like to add to the conversation if anyone is interested; The parasatism of fungi BY orchids is a Huge reason why they have been so successful & so diverse, especially their exploitation of the mycorhizzial symbionts of trees- which allows the Orchid to exploite larger flora in their environments, by feeding off the nutrients produced by the mycorhizzia's host.

I got to wake up this morning and learned things about plants I didn’t know. Great interview, thanks.

@earthknight60 2 года назад

A (somewhat) minor correction. Fungi appear to have been on land long before any plants. Fungi would be the "original" life on land. Setting aside bacteria and such.

The fun guy also existed long before the first dad joke.

Great stuff, Aly, very enjoyable and great observations (A shout out the common descent podcast). This is a great channel.

Fascinating interview! Thank you! :-)

Fantastic guest. On a personal note I went to weberstate College in the 80s the department chair was a paleobotanist. Dr Sidney Ash

@russmartin4189 2 года назад

Very informative. I almost didn't watch this because I thought plants were not that interesting. WRONG! Thank you very much for bringing this to RU-vid and to me. By the way, I'm 73 and still curious.

Dr Baumgartner is such a good guest. She’s incredibly knowledgeable in so many areas and obviously enthused about her career.

@crowesarethebest 2 года назад

She's amazing! Really enjoyed this episode.

I'm actually studying for a sci fi show I'm writing. It's funny they bring that up

The oceans needed to settle down before anything could grow on land. A couple of billion years ago the moon was a lot closer to the Earth. A closer moon meant high tides were tsunamis. A closer moon also meant the moon revolved around the earth faster, too, meaning those pesky, high tide tsunamis came back within shorter time intervals than the tides of today return in.

@in4mal_baker270 2 года назад

Ahh man, sounds super gnarly dude.

@huletnadof313 2 года назад

The higher tides would only affect low-lying coastal regions. There were mountain ranges billions of years ago as high as any that exist today. Doubtful they were swept over by tsunami high tides twice a day.

@76rjackson 2 года назад

@@huletnadof313 Depends on how far back you go. When the moon was closest to the earth tides were calculated to be a kilometer high. Your highest peaks would have been unaffected but tides that high would mean that most of the earth was "low lying coastal land" as you put it.

@johnchance7836 2 года назад

Great interview. Not exactly what I expected though. It would be really great to have someone really go into depth about the era when plants and fungus were first colonizing the land. Moss, early plants, giant Fungi, all of it. That's not something we usually get to hear about. :)

Excellent idea for an interview 😍
