Hearted Youtube comments on PBS Eons (@eons) channel.

  1. Thanks so much for having me on the show! It's an honor to have worked with my favorite paleontology channel. Lets do this again sometime :)

  3. Man, I miss when Discovery and National Geographic was more about this type of documentary and les about reality shows. Thank you YouTube and thank you PBS Eons. Greetings from Brazil.

  5. TierZoo and Eons? happy paleontologist noises
    4700
  6. Can I take a moment to shout out everyone in the comment section for choosing to watch an educational video instead of the millions of other toxic videos they could have chosen on Youtube at this very moment. Good job. The fact that you landed here says something positive about you. Keep learning!

  7. Itā€™s like a Shakespeare play but with even more cold blooded characters
    3500
  8. Man there is not a second in these videos where I get bored or distracted.. wow!
    3200
  9. It's amazing to think this man had a name and a family was a small child at one time and yet even after death he is showing us the true humanity we are capable of

  11. Answer: the turtle stole it

  12. Snakes are virtually perfect. They've conquered almost every major land mass, can navigate so many different terrains, and are highly efficient killers. And they've achieved all this without limbs.

  13. Megladon more like meglaGONE!

  14. Thank you for the interest in our research. It is worth noting that a later study by fish expert Mike Newbrey et al. (in 2013; I am one of the coauthors) showed that the fish vertebra is identical to those found in the 70 million year old Nemegt Formation of Mongolia, and that this specific type of fish vertebra has not been found anywhere else. Thus, there is little doubt that the "Raptorex" fossil is from the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia. The wikipedia article on "Raptorex" is quite detailed and covers these and more pieces of evidence.

  15. Funny how a show about everything dying can make one feel so alive with wonder :)
    2100
  16. Can you guys do the dire wolves again? Because of the new discovery with them NOT actually being related to wolves at all, but the similarities is because of convergent evolution
    2000
  17. link to the poster please!

  18. Hey! I'm a molecular biologist, my field of expertise being early evolution and synthetic DNA constructs. Just wanted to say that I'm glad to see you did your homework well and explained all the more important aspects and theories behind viral evolution, and in an easy-to-understand way too. I myself believe the emergent complexity theory is right, maybe because I used to do a lot of research on really simple insertion elements (very basic DNA sequences that emerge in bacterial genomes and can jump around in DNA). and the way they enable more complex DNA constructs to evolve. As to wether viri are alive - Tough question. On one hand they lack a lot of key features that we define as life. On the other hand, they show behavior associated with advanced life, such as assessing their enviroment and making decisions based on their conditions. Anyway, congrats to your video, it was a treat to watch!
    1700
  19. Would you cover the evolution of blood and or hearts or other organs Please
    1700
  20. This is one of the best channels on YouTube! Always happy when a new video from it appears in my recommendationsšŸ˜Š
    1700
  21. wow...trilateral symmetry!!! :D That's rad!
    1600
  22. Something about this just made me smile. The complexity of animal life today and the little blobs of cells that came before us, both experienced a pond. Idk, life is magical and sometimes the past doesnā€™t feel so far away.
    1500
  23. Came for the Carbon 12. Was not disappointed.
    1400
  24. The bat-whale connection is, frankly, one of the best things this channel has informed me of.
    1300
  25. PBS Eons is back! And covering my favorite group of mammals! A perfect start to the month.
    1200
  26. Please make a video about the evolution of Ratita(flightless birds). 307 people supported this request by giving their like to my comment last video. People are interested, I will insist until the end
    1200
  27. I think you should say gif instead of niche from now on just as a spicy little meme only the real fans get.
    1100
  28. As a Native American, watching your videos has always been such a fun pastime. And seeing your message towards the end of the video just absolutely made my day, from the Kichwa-KaƱari Paltas tribe, thank you ā¤ļø
    1100
  29. You guys put so much work into these videos even though you don't get a lot of views. I love these videos so much and they definitely deserve more attention for how amazing they are. :)
    1000
  30. This video could be made for every era of life's history, keep up the great work
    990
  31. "Living fossil" == Sometimes Mother Nature just gets it right early on.
    959
  32. Oh my... I really love, enjoy and every single word that exists to describe how inspiring is this channel. It's like watching Interstellar
    864
  33. Wow! I've never heard of the Devil's Corkscrews, nor their little beaver-like architects. Fascinating video, please keep doing more about the obscure animals of millennia passed!
    857
  34. I have a question, why is this channel so amazing
    840
  35. My mood right now: EONS video and something to eat
    807
  36. Fungi are amazing. I love the way we owe our whole lively world to them.
    799
  37. This is quite possibly PBS's greatest youtube show yet
    788
  38. I'm so excited to learn about our modern ants' ANTcestors.
    764
  39. My wife and I toured the fossil beds of Mistaken Point on the southeastern tip of the Avalon Penninsula in June of 2017. It was 7,000 miles of driving (round trip) from Illinois. If you are interested, you can fly into St. John's Newfoundland and then drive to the point of departure for the guided tour. Its a 3-4 hour drive to the Mistaken Point Ranger Station. Then about an hour drive in with the ranger (using your vehicle), and then about another hour hike to the fossil bed. But goodness, the long trip seems to make the fossils all the more exciting. You wear soft booties as you walk amongst the hundreds of fossils, all easily seen. Of course a sunny warm day in June was the best, and we were lucky. Try to time the weather as best you can if you go.
    743
  40. As somebody who is very interested in the origins of Earth and species, this series is absolutely everything I've ever wanted, so thank you for that. I have a few questions that I've not seen tackled in any other documentaries. Where did viruses come from? Do we have any clue as to when they appeared? Obviously you can't find fossils of them. Any ideas as to what causes them to pop up? Should we consider them alive or dead? Thanks again.
    713
  41. As a mycologist I approve this episode
    710
  42. "The Chronicles of Carnia" should be a rock band name
    683
  43. Love the videos please keep up the great work !!!!
    670
  44. This is hands down, one of the best series on YouTube and I'm so glad it exists.
    638
  45. I asked for a video about the sauropod evolution like 6 months ago. I am so incredibly happy with the quality of the information in this video. Thanks for listening to your community šŸ’—
    631
  46. "What do you wanna know about the story of life on earth?" EVERYTHING!
    598
  47. I've learned more from one video on this channel than I have learned in school in 12 years.
    587
  48. I needed a video this clear on the subject back in middle school. lol
    573
  49. I'll keep saying it, I'm so grateful for this channel and the content it provides. #PBSEONSISLOVE
    572
  50. So I find it interesting that the cute little, cat-deer thing already had the underwater hearing development. It leads me to wonder if the cetacean line started because some Artiodactyla started hiding in water and it just super worked for them so they developed better hearing in the water. Any thoughts on that line?
    564
  51. I increased my iq by 10% just by going through the comment section
    545
  52. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I asked for this exact topic to be talked about and you did a whole episode about the EXACT thing I asked for: the evolution of cephalopod bones. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! See people? They really do mean it when they ask what we want to see. I've been watching Eons faithfully every week when it comes out, have been doing it since the show was less than a month old. I've been telling others about it, but got away from it recently and have missed most of the last month. I repent my sinful ways. I'll go catch up with recent missed shows! Love you guys! Thank you!
    512
  53. One of the things I love about this show? It is ultimately a story of connections. The story of a Flower is never just the story of a flower. The story of anything, the longer you look, is ultimately the story of Everything? And thatā€™s a thing I feel like we forget, sometimes.
    506
  54. I am in constant awe by the videos you make, always informational and extremely entertaining. I don't know if you've figured this out already but i'm borderline obsessed with your channel! #PBSEONSISLOVE
    503
  55. I clicked so fast! #PBSEONSISLOVE
    502
  56. Please do a video on ancient marine reptiles! The ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs and mosasaurs and all those, the evolutionary equivalents of cetaceans and pinnipeds.
    502
  57. Excellent. I was waiting for you to do something on this. There were likely many explosions of life that we wont know about because it was all single celled. So. No graboids? I guess the tremors franchise lied to me.
    468
  58. "only semi-aquatic dinosaur". What about Halszkaraptor?
    461
  59. Could you please do a video on the dire wolf
    452
  60. What kind of animal is that thing with epicyon?
    449
  61. I guess you could say these ants are... ant-ique I know right?
    441
  62. This show is literally my favorite part of every week, itā€™s the only good thing about Mondayā€™s!!!
    406
  63. Please make a video about the development of wings/ the ability to fly :)
    403
  64. I'm trying to become a PALEONTOLOGIST when I'm older, and one of the first creatures I wanna study is these Sea Crocs!!!
    402
  65. This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you guys for your tremendous efforts that make this channel stand out
    395
  66. As a herpetologist, this video pleases me very much. On the topic of reptilian evolution, what would make a neat video is looking into how the turtle shell came to be. ;-)
    375
  67. Hey this is my lecturers work! Shout out to Renaud and his team, with Betty the multicollecter (ICP-MS), at Southern Cross Uni! Thanks for giving the date to the oldest currently known surgery patient!
    337
  68. Oh, this is the first time we've seen Gabriel in a full-length video, right? Yay! šŸŒ‘šŸŒ’šŸŒ“šŸŒ”šŸŒ•
    333
  69. This show has very quickly gained a spot in my top 5 favorite YouTube channels.
    319
  70. Much love to our Eons amigos! Thanks for the shout-out šŸŒŽšŸ”„
    314
  71. the evolution of whales has always been one of my favorite evolutionary happenings, and just learning about it again in video form reminds me of just how cool it is!!!!
    274
  72. If anyone is interested this is my research! Thanks @PBSeons for showcasing cool fossils and our cool experiements! It's pretty gross - and it's not just graduate students :)
    263
  73. This channel is very quickly becoming my favorite, you guys singlehandedly reignited my interest in paleontology!
    262
  74. i didnt even realise until i was i the middle of the exam, but this channel helped me to revise for my biology A level
    261
  75. And I was totally happy to help out!!
    258
  76. This video inspired me to go into Paleontology after 4 years of post high school depression bc I had no idea what I wanted to do, now this is my favorite channel and i'm restarting college in the fall. I rewatch this video every few months when it pops back up and it keeps me inspired, Thanks guys <3
    247
  77. I love these videos. Every time I see one in my feed I feel happy. But could you maybe speak a little slower please? I sometimes have trouble processing everything you say.
    243
  78. Ok folks if I discover a new animal as I will name it after this channel cause eons inspired me to become a paleontologist. Thanks to them I got basic knowledge for paleontology that people from my local University that specializes in geology and has paleontology based classes can't wrap their head around, and I am so damn grateful for that!
    237
  79. 6:20 isn't it the other way around? Echinoderms and Chordates are deuterostomes while all the others are proterostomes?
    214
  80. Love these videos! Hopefully, someday I can make videos this great! :)
    210
  81. Lizards with reduced limbs have evolved multiple times in history, and all of the ones we know for sure evolved from a burrowing or at least ground dwelling ancestor. I support team terrestrial hypothesis.
    208
  82. I want to hug a fluffy T-Rex! That squirrel Dino is also huggable. Isnā€™t there talk that ornithasurs might have been misclassified?
    206
  83. First! Or the Common Ancestor to everything.
    196
  84. Blake is my favourite narrator
    195
  85. Very cool. I love learning about strange paths that evolution takes. Thanks for another quality video!
    192
  86. I just finished reading The Story of Earth: The First 4.5 Billion Years that you recommended on the livestream, thank you it was such a great book!
    190
  87. Finally a new video, FINALLY. I'd like to add that this is by far my favorite youtube channel, ever. I would watch this channel 24/7 and would choose it to be the only channel I would watch if given an ultimatum by aliens. Basically you guys rock ok. Now onto watching the video lol.
    179
  88. I'm so excited it's here! I've loved PBS digital studios from since I first saw a show from it, and with Hank Green being a part of it I know it'll be perfect. Keep it up!
    161
  89. I love EONS so much!!!
    157
  90. I absolutely love this kind of episode! There's a great story to it, the science is really clear and interesting, and who doesn't love a mystery revealed? Other episodes are great too, but this kind is definitely my favorite!
    157
  91. You sly dogs! This whole time I'm expecting a paleobiology finish, and meanwhile you slipped me a chemistry lesson! Mind truly blown.
    153
  92. THANK YOU for calling it the Clovis Complex. So many people call it a culture, and it wasn't. Great overview of what we know at this point of migration
    150
  93. Raptorex and Tarbosaurus are two of my favorite Dinosaurs. They're amazing!
    145
  94. 2:46 he says ā€œNothing today grows like this.ā€ Ummm, what about trees dendritic expressions or Romanesco cauliflower? These are only two out of a dozen fractal form of life I can think of which are living species today.
    136
  95. Did you know that you can get your very own prehistoric elephant figure? Find out how at https://complexly.info/mammoths
    131
  96. Isotope geochemistry was one of the most interesting lectures I've heard thus far. Apart from Carbon-dating, Sulfur-dating has the potential to prove the existence of even older life, really interesting stuff.
    127
  97. "Keeping up with the Carnassials!" Brilliant!šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
    126
  98. Are you going to a video about lions soon? Please
    118
  99. Suggestion: An episode covering the history of Pronghorn. Very unique artiodactyls with a surprisingly diverse family history, of which Antilocapra americana is the only extant member left.
    112
  100. Talk about the evolution of whales.
    109
  101. How do i become a paleontologist? (Classes and stuff like that)
    102
  102. At LSU we had a $100 bet/reward for whoever could find a bone from T. Walleri in Louisiana. We knew of the fossils in Texas and Florida, but we had never found any as far as we knew. So if you're in Louisiana and you find a big hardy bird bone, let the folks at LSU know...there's a $100 waiting for you ;) Also, go mammals!
    90
  103. 6:10 wait I thought starfish was a deuterostome and the earthworm is a protostome. Is this a mistake?
    84
  104. It seems to me as though snakes share a common ancestor with mosasaurs and varanids.
    83
  105. I knew nothing about trilobites before this video. Thanks :D
    82
  106. I've been subscribed since day one after seeing this channel on PBS's Spacetime. I love this channel and the subject matter but I feel like the format would really benefit from a slightly longer duration. Obviously the episodes don't need to be full length thirty minute features but at the current 5-6 minute average time, it is just enough time to get interesting and whet your appetite before it ends frustratingly short. I think the channel would really be perfect at the 10 minute mark and the level of detail that implies. I know it's still a fairly new channel and this isn't related to this specific video but I just wanted to leave feedback. Hopefully this is something that changes over time. Cheers. I love what you guys are doing and look forward to it every week.
    80
  107. Eons always has the perfect blend of humour and scientific info!!
    74
  108. Very recently, Halszkaraptor escuilliei, a new Dromaeosaurid dinosaur, was described from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. After confirming the specimen was genuine (it has a shady past), the researchers found it to be semiaquatic. We probably should have mentioned Halszkaraptor in this episode, but we didnā€™t due to the newness of the specimen. There hasnā€™t been much time for the scientific community to review the conclusions put forth in the report. If youā€™d like to check out the manuscript and do your own peer review, it can be found here: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature24679 (KM)
    74
  109. Kallie is my hero! This video was fantastic. Viva la Science!
    73
  110. Question- isn't the process of one species evolving into two different ones called divergent evolution, not parallel evolution?
    69
  111. Great episode, and I took the survey; I hope it helps!
    65
  112. Dear PBS Eons. You answer so many questions i never knew existed! :D thanks for all the good work.
    59
  113. I learned two new things: Arteodactyls and ceteceans, and that they are somewhat related. Quite fascinating stuff.
    53
  114. You know what one of my favorite things about Sci Show and PBS Eons and the rest of your projects is? You guys are all huge dorks. And I mean that in the best way, as a huge dork myself. You guys love this stuff, you love learning about it and you love teaching it, and you also can't keep a straight face when you share those awful jokes and puns at the end. I just love your "oh goddammit" faces. XD
    47
  115. What amazes me about any history before written records is, how scientists can make pretty good (and sometimes less good) assumptions about how animals behaved. There's a whole lot we don't know about anything, but by studying fossils and present day life we can assume a lot about how the past might have lived. Like how we can assume that the sabretooth cat was probably an ambush predator, even though no feline today is - and still those teeth are insane! Or we assume that Velociraptor species hunted like some birds of prey. We won't ever really know for sure how the past actually acted, but our stories about it adhere more and more to the rules and logic of nature.
    45
  116. I also am sincerely mind-blown to learn mosasaurs were lizards.
    44
  117. So much change in 20 million years. Other life forms have used essentially the same size and shape for hundreds of millions of years. Thank you for this edifying video.
    40
  118. Dear PBS Eons and Eonites, Thank you, I love you. That's it, that's all I need to say. Stay safe, sane, and healthy.
    40
  119. I clicked like on this vid, but..., I actually loved it! Thanks for helping me learn.
    36
  120. Such a great video! And Iā€™m loving the intelligent conversations and debates happening in the comments haha such a difference from typical channelsā€™ comment sections :)
    33
  121. Thank you, PBS Eons and all of PBS Digital Studios, for your easy-to-understand and equally entertaining videos. In this new normal society where social distancing is key, YouTube channels that make learning easier for students are heroes of the educational system. Looking forward to more and more great videos!
    31
  122. Awesome video! It's absolutely mind boggling to think of all that has existed before us and all we cannot possibly know. So, thank you for helping us learn what is known.
    31
  123. This was a fantastic awesome super cool tremendous brilliant video!!!
    30
  124. Thank you for including that recognition of indigenous people and the sometimes unapproved digging and fossil removal.
    27
  125. Pleistocene megafauna, please. And the Great American Interchange. This was awesome, as always. It makes my day every time I see a notification about a new Eons vid. :-)
    21
  126. so would it be possible to find that sort of biocarbon on other planets? Like do they look for it on for example mars?
    19
  127. I've enjoyed many previous videos on PBS Eons. But this video has motivated me to become a Patreon supporter. Thank you PBS Eons for the work that you do.
    19
  128. That giggle though :D
    18
  129. I heard that too, thinking, I'm there right now in Liaoning. Road trip for fossils and archaeological sites. I might even visit one of these fossil locations in the next couple days.
    12
  130. One of the best channels on youtube by FAR
    11
  131. This is the best Channel ever made!!!
    11
  132. Love this channel! :)
    9
  133. Can we all agree the PBS Digital Studios is awesome.
    7
  134. Finally stuff from my lab! :) I am so excited!

  135. {{Cetacean needed}}
    5
  136. I have watched every video you had on your channel, and now that I realised that I saw every video, I realise I watched them all with great interest and fascination. The only bad thing is that there aren't any more videos. Therefore, I'm subbing! Congratz, PBS Eons
    5
  137. Ayyyyyyyyyy this was part of my mom's graduate research! She was looking at the tubes left by rising plumes and sinking crust and how they might impede or encourage crust recycling!
    5
  138. Also support your local museums!
    4
  139. These videos make me happy to be a Patreon supporter today of PBS Eons
    4
  140. They have a video that is sort of related called "The Rise and Fall of the Bone-Crushing Dogs." They don't mention bear dogs specifically but it is worth watching if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZhxCUay5ks

  141. Loved this video, gonna show it to everyone I know
    3
  142. gonna need a video on whales now lmao

  143. how to access the eon discord server
    2
  144. Ill allways be an eonite in my heart
    2
  145. Thanks!

  147. Finally the episode about placentas? Perhaps.
    1
  148. No wooly mammoths at Hot Springs. Just once I'd like to see this channel get through a video without a mind-boggling error. https://www.mammothsite.org/
