In one episode of the Simpsons, Flanders's pet fish crawls out of the aquarium and starts gulping air. Flanders then pushes it back into the water and goes "oh no you don't!"
I wish I had seen that one! That's probably one of the best one-off jokes that the Simpsons have ever done.

The fact that we were able to uncover all this information over the last 100 years of our existence is miraculous
Its not 100% confirmed though, information and “facts” always change with more and more research
Imagine what we will learn in the next 50 with the way technology is advancing.
The fact that it happened in the first place is miraculous. Science is so cool.
Ikr can’t believe I’m alive during this time. Although, I am not my body, I am pure consciousness ❤
Cheers for being the only eon that's aware of the other eons. 🎉
"There were probably other factors, but the meteor didn't help." Understatement of the era.

BillWurtz*: the Sun is a deadly laser.
So one of the things we just found out about the Moon. It use to be *very* magnetic. Like stronger than Earth is today. It only stopped being magnetic around 100 million years ago. The distance past we basically had a double magnetic fields protecting early life for billions of years.
This is literally my favorite video on all of KZhead which sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but after coming here to watch it or listen to it in the background as I do other things so many times I think its time I said thanks. Something about the balance of its grand encompassing reach, general sense of direction, lack of full diving into overly specific scientific details, and condensed easy to digest nature really hits it home for me. Many episodes or shows delve too deep into details or don't give a good sense of the overall timeline in a way that I can connect with and I think that's what I needed most for a general understanding of the evolution of life and development of our planet. This video ties together all the details I've heard for years and does so in a step-by-step timeline that I can easily explain to someone who asks. Thank you SciShow, for this amazing combo-episode.
Same but in 2X speed
@@joeKisonue Damn. You two must be a lot smarter than me because I had to rewind and stop to google stuff several times before I had even half an understanding of what he was talking about lol. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this video and love this channel overall, but so much information was spewed out over these 36mins that I’ll be surprised if I end up retaining even 10% (probably only 1% if I listened it at 2x) of everything.
Very well said! I couldn’t agree more!! I too enjoyed the way the video time-lined, and spoke of many things I had learned and heard of over the years!!

I just discovered it yesterday, and it's now my favorite KZhead video of all time, too.
"Life is easy but surviving is hard." Words of wisdom.

The thagamizer was first named in a "far side" comic. Scientists read the newspaper, thought the weapon needed a name, and liked the name so much they made it official. RIP Thag Simmons.
I still find that hilarious. I was a fan of paleontology as a kid when that comic came out in calendar form and Dad and I laughed about it. At the time, I never would have guessed it would be officially adopted, but Dad and I were using it jokingly for decades before I ran across something officially calling it that. When I was young, they were still putting the spikes vertically on dinosaur toys, and I was the sort of kid who left his toys out on the floor, so as you can imagine, the thagomizer is something Dad feels very passionate about. It's his one-up any time someone mentions stepping on a Lego.
Thanks so much SciShow for not only creating these wonderful videos, but also for making compilations such as this one. It makes it so much easier to watch and share with my grandchild! My smirky observation of Hank thoroughly explaining (perhaps doubling down) on the dino to bird connection @ 25:05 : I can't explain how happy it makes me to know that just 5 yrs later the term "non-avian theropod(s)" is now a widely accepted across not only the research oriented demographic and amateur paleontologists but also to the more pedestrian among us (such as myself!) In just my short lifetime I've witnessed our understanding of dinosaurs evolve from tail dragging lumbering beasts, and I'm excited to see how much more my granddaughter's generation will learn.
The Thagomizer name for the spiky end of a stegosaurus tail is from the comic strip The Far Side. The joke is some cavemen are discussing what to name the end of the tail. It turns out because their colleague Thag was recently killed by one, so they named it the Thagomizer. It actually really had no name until an archiologist saw the cartoon and made it official in real life.

Scientists really missed the chance to call the oxygenation event “Extinction O”. I mean, the double meaning is right there. It was a mass extinction event that took place before the conventional “Big 5” (Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and K-T) hence the O as in zero, and O also happens to be the symbol for the element responsible for the extinction.

I haven't finished watching this episode yet, but I gotta say that the writing and delivery in this one are incredibly great, and funny!
So good! I’d been wanting a show to untangle the different ages so that I could figure out when things were. I love when lots of different pieces all get laid out and connected - like filling in a map!
The amount of information we've learned in such a small time frame is awe-inspiring. Thinking about the huge leap we made as a species really makes you wonder how things are going to change in the future. How far will we reach? It's shameful how people are still killing each other over religious views or disregarding scientific evidence because it conflicts with something they were taught growing up. Times change, and i hope they change some more.

The “Thag o miser” was coined by Gary Larson in his Far Side comic! So classsic!!
"Thagomizer" comes from Gary Larson's "The Far Side." It's named after the late Thag Simmons.
And the name was made official.
Too, there exists the GaryLarsoni- entomologist named an owls- I forget which one in particular, I believe but could be wrong, The North American barn owl- louses mite. So nice to know there are creatures that can make life just a wee bit miserable for creatures known to bring us, and the poor owl, discomfort and itchiness, not to mention a quick note home from school faster than you can say “COVID”

I imagine that a lot of aliens don’t have endosymbiotic cells so when they try and do genetic analysis of eukaryotic life on earth they’ll be really confused when they find two separate genomes in every cell.

Yeah it will really mess the up
Which will inevitably pique their curiosity and lead to centuries of anal probing
It it could have it would have but it didnt
We dont really know that. Its possible endosymbiotic cells tend to be the ones that become complex and eventually intelligent live.
This has to be by far the most epic presentation you guys have ever made, Thank you so much Sci show, enjoyed through and through.

I agree that it was a very awesome presentation. It was very interesting and very informative. Just imagine all of it's true to the life in the past and documented.
Oh god. It's like getting a clip show just before the series finale.
I'm trying to imagine what it would have been like to present just the information in this video to my elementary school teachers trying to teach us about prehistoric life. The amount of stuff here that was unknown/not taught even 40 years ago is huge!

What if there are anaerobic life forms that saw earth and thought “huh. Nothing could survive with that much oxygen.”
This deserves more likes. I think the issue though is that anaerobic life doesn't have efficient enough energy production to support advanced intelligence. Although I guess we don't know enough to just assume that about all anaerobic life.
But planets with tons of oxygen need a constant supply of new O2; it scapes the atmosphere easily. Therefore, something unusual must be producing it (like us, Alien life!)
@@jeffpalmer9326 They could do with no oxygen, or you could do with them having no oxygen? (If you know what I mean)
@@YellowToomNook Oxygen really doesn't escape. It's just too heavy and needs too much energy to get its velocity up high enough.
I think that's the premise of a scifi story by Bradbury actually
My biology teacher at school did not except evolution. And although she taught it to us cause she had to, we also had to listen to her comments that "yeah, for me that seems impossible", "it is strange, but that's what the book says". so sad :(
Timi Sterr You should report her.
In fairness, a lot of what evolution produces is strange...I know that’s not what meant tho ;P
@@UltimateInnerSpirit The monotremes....
Should've asked her why she was teaching something she didn't agree with... no one forced her to stay at that job. lol
Timi Sterr I get so mad when I hear stories like this. Seems to me that the teacher is a cowardly imposter. He/she accepts to make a proffesional life of teaching kids what he/she believe to be false - what a loser. Non-religious people are often competent to teach religious philosophy - too bad it seems to seldom be the other way around. I would've wished a better quality education for you, but luckily you seem to have turned out fine :)
Wow! To fit Earth's history into 40 minutes!!! This is the best concise summary of geology! This should be shown in schools/universities.
I am so glad that i live in era when we can see how our ancestors looked like. I mean even if we don't know all facts it is still very good. Because generations before us didn't have this pleasure. Every one of us can work with our imagination to complete the dots. Even that in the future people will probably learn a lot more, our generation is starter with giving all those pictures for everyone to see. Human brain interacts with this informations in the way that we imagine ourselfs near all those animals and plants through history and we can give our gratitude for every one of them for our big brain and evolution. Someone finaly can appreciate their lifes and lots of them who are extint now are not forgotten. They live in us!!
Yes!!!!! Fascinating
@MauricioMalaver exactly !! I totally agree
People rarely think that all the species we know about during these ancient times barely reach 1% of the actual number of species that evolved during this time. All the information we get is from fossils and they only form under specific conditions, not to mention all the fossils that were destroyed by numerous reason over time ... Makes you wonder what horrific/amazing things roamed our Earth and we will never find out about it .
And creationists seem to think we have found all the fossils to be found and therefore there "should" be no holes in the fossil record.
@@Justwantahover and global warming alarmists seem to think that if all the polar ice caps melt away we'll all die even though dinosaurs and most of the planets life did just fine without them for most of the time that large land animals have existed.
@@legionreaver We won't die but a lot of species will. Do you think the ice caps are melting as fast as the scientists claim?
@@Justwantahover I don't really care to be honest. Climate changes, species go extinct and life recovers. It's how it works. There are bigger problems to worry about. Like getting to mars or hardening the power grid against failure from solar events. If we were serious about worrying about climate change then we should be going to war and killing everyone in the third world as they are the ones likely to cause the most pollution as they industrialize and modernize their societies. They are a massive threat to the global climate if they are allowed to continue to clear land for agriculture.
@@legionreaver You avoided the question by saying that you don't care. If you don't care about whether climate change is happening or not, then why are you having this conversation? You must care about something. So it's more important to go to Mars than doing something about climate change? All I want is your opinion on whether the ice caps are really melting as fast as they say. If your opinion is "yes they are" than why are you not worried that we may be in trouble? And why not try to do something about it instead of wasting our money on a one way ticket to Mars? Send all the flat earthers there and they can form the "Flat Mars Society".

You do know that Land Before Time had dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals from different time periods all living together right? Little Foot (Apatosaurus - Late Jurassic), Cera (Triceratops - Late Cretaceous), Ducky (Saurolophus - Late Cretaceous), Petrie (Pteranodon - Late Cretaceous) , Spike (Stegosaurus - Late Jurassic), Chomper (Tyrannosaurus - Late Cretaceous), and Ruby (Oviraptor - Late Cretaceous). Original Sharptooth, Chomper's Parents, and most of the Sharptooths (Tyrannosaurus - Late Creatceous) other Sharptooths (Allosaurus - Late Jurassic. Giganotosaurus - Early Cretaceous. Baryonyx - Early Cretaceous. Spinosaurus - Early Cretaceous. Deinonychus - Early Cretaceous) Underwater sharptooth (Mosasaurus - Late Cretaceous and Lipleurodon - Late Jurassic) and that Sailed Back Reptile in the first movie (Dimetrodon - Middle Permian). So Grass being Land Before Time is just continuing the misplaced wildlife trope.

Well done. The name Thagomizer (at 24.46) origins from the cartoonist Gary Larson, who coined the name in a cartoon showing the late Simon Thago getting ended.. It was later taken up by people working in the area of these animals, and stuck.
Ahem, Thag Simmons.
I so remember Gary Larsons- his cows and his dogs going to work in their bus wearing their ties; and the two deer standing there chatting, one with a target on his chest... and the other one saying, "Bummer of a birthmark, Carl." So those genuine and brilliant science nerds took a name from a genuine, brilliant comedy writer/cartoonist's work to create an actual name for an actual brilliant creature from our deep past- kinda incorporating all that together. My head is whelming out of control. That's wonderful!

Great video guys, or videos. But when you talk about the endosymbiosis (minute 8:16) "one cell ate but didn't digest" another cell, there is a question... how could that cell self-replicate? regarding how did the development of internal new acquired organelles (mitochondria) get their own mitosis during cellular division.. or how did the new organelle get sequenced in the DNA of the cell so all new descendents will have mitochondrias? i know its a hard question, is there any info about it?

I think I knew most of this coming into the video, but it is cool to have everything laid out clearly. The tree of life has been pruned by mass extinctions, allowing such an amazing variety of life forms to have their day. I think of all the animal groups shown the one I'm most curious about now is the pseudosuchians.

It is easy enough to follow along with if you can comprehend what each word means, but there are big words in it. I think should be slowed down so it's easier to understand.
Awesome combo video 🎉
You guys are so awesome. I have learned so much. I just wish you could talk a little slower and have a few more graphics so I can anchor the information. Please keep up the fantastic work that you do, it is so important that we know who we are. Multiple thumbs up!

This discussion is infinitely more exciting than the "notion" of intelligent design
Trouble is they dont have a clue how the billions of extreamly complicated strands of DNA couldn't have accidently formed without a grand intelligent designer... as famous scientist have said it would be much easier for a tornado plowing through a junkyard to create a fully functioning 747 jumbo jet then for life to have begun by accident ... go figure.
@@ronwillis3167 LOL! If by 'respected scientist' you mean someone espousing crank views well outside their field of expertise, be my guest. When it comes to biology, I will trust the biologists more than any astronomer. But hey, lets get to your silly claim: www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CF/CF002_1.html Essentially, the demand that all of a modern cell form spontaneously, complete in every detail, in a single instantaneous event is ridiculous -- and it is the central claim behind the religious 'special creation' and all of its' disguises. Evolution works incrementally, as anyone who Actually Watched The Video would understand; variations arise, and some of those variations survive better in the environment they are in. Those variants usually leave more offspring; less successful variants leave fewer (or no) offspring. Over time even small variations add up to big changes.

@@ronwillis3167 Why does each and every child born have about 80 genetic mutations different from their parents? Put it together, you can do it.
@@ronwillis3167 "it would be much easier for a tornado plowing through a junkyard" _You raaaaaang?_ "...to create a fully functioning 747 jumbo jet then for life to have begun by accident" ...well, I can't make a jumbo jet after tearing through a junkyard, but I can turn a rusted-out Delorean into an 88-mile-an-hour time machine...
I love this story like timeline style, fun and helps to recall the fun facts I think
Millions of cosmic accidents and miracles of billions of years. And here we are. A good story before the sleep.
