1. Yes, I said 70mm when I meant 70cm. Sorry.

2. See: "Wonderful Life" by Steven Jay Gould. Out of date now, though.

3. is that zoe? (bottom left corner 4:14)

4. Where does he get his evidence? How can he prove what he says.

5. You should do a video on the Permian extinction.

6. No, no, no it was aliens there's some wise guy I watched said so on the history channel LOL 😂😂🤣.
   Brilliant channel 👍 can't wait for your next show love watching your all your shows.

7. The Biotic Blast. The Cambrian Kaboom. The DNA Detonation.

8. sorry, the background noise is too much. You can remove it in 2 minutes if you would try looking at audacity or something.

9. Came here for the Coheed and pre-Cambiran video. Disappointed.

10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCHhQSkBbL8

11. DOG! 🙂

12. I remember when they 1st showed videos of life miles under the water. How people thought of what aliens would look like is nothing what the life looks like miles under the water. Super weird nothing a person could imagine a alien would look like.

13. When life was figuring out how to create creatures with physical defenses, why didn't it create sharks with laser beams on their heads?

14. 70mm, ha..

15. I wonder what the earth looked like with all the cambians running around! Ha-ha,

16. You are funny man

17. And here I am, watching another 20 Joe Scott video
    Thank you for putting out these amazing vids

18. I wish you were my teacher back in the day, you explain things in a way that makes me listen.

19. Good ol' arterial branching.

20. 4:12 Life finds a way…. into your room.

21. No way past/present life is by chance… logic alone points to the creation of life on this planet having had some kind of advanced off-planet, technological (alien?) help! (ie) Cambrian life "evolving" excruciatingly slowly, while pre-Cambrian life exploded exponentially AND with such incredible/wacky diversity (so quickly) all seems impossible to have happened without some kind of help/intervention. Further proof of life having had advanced off-planet help, can be seen by how the Earth (coincidentally) goes through systematic cycles/periods of growth and culling by such things as micro-novas and/or other (major) worldwide cataclysmic events … only to have the whole process rinse and repeat/start all over again. The more we discover about past life on Earth, the more the Earth comes off as someone's (or something's) ultra-advanced personal terrarium…

22. Trial and error could never produce the complexity all around us. I’m not a religious person but there’s too many moving parts in the equation for x to get to z because a mutation will always perish.

23. Unless of course, we are living in a simulation. Then all of your fancy science is useless. Don't you think it's a little weird that we find ourselves living in a time where creating a universe is somewhat feasible?

24. Did you mean, Caaaaaambrian exploooooosioooooon 🎶 🎼

25. Pleaeeeease ditch the music!
    🙏🙏🙏🙏

26. "If you did every single course on Brilliant you would become a supervillain."

    proceeds immediately building my volcano base while practicing my muhahaha not wearing a mask because screw you I'm a supervillain, remember?…

27. Is that a TRON light disc?
    Nice.

28. What life "figured out how to create RNA, then DNA"!? There was 'no life' before RNA and DNA! There was no life before the instruction set for life! Maybe the subject for a future video…

29. Hello Joe, I just wanted to say I love watching you and your videos. Thanks for all you do. Also if you wanted to either learn more or share more of what you have learned, there are many Discord channels where people are coming together to talk, listen and learn. If you are interested, I would suggest EEART Discord as a great place to start. The invite code is https://discord.gg/G8dff4v Hope you have an amazing day and I really look forward to your next videos.

30. Cymru am byth!

31. Just so everyone knows something more weird about the praying mantis, they have 5 eyes.

32. So fascinating! Where do you get ideas for your subject matter 🙂

33. Cool shrimp. YES.

34. This may be a comment.
    It may just be a collection of random letters

    Scientists don't really know

35. Hi Joe. Love your work. Is this you tuber related to you? Hes called Brad Colbow and looks like family, just saying.

36. Does anyone else hear the hissing??

37. Question totally unrelated to this video. Why do we bruise differently as we age? I now get old lady bruises. WHY? WHY? WHY?

38. I want a movie like Finding Nemo or Star Wars with the Cambrian animals in it

39. I love your work Joe, but I'd like to (kindly) point out that this video has a bit of unintended background noise/hiss.

40. Wrong👏

41. I agree with science except evolution. But this video was interesting, I liked it.

42. Missed opportunity "those soft bodies didn't exactly leave an… 'impression'" haha

43. Hey Joe. I just want to tell you how much I've enjoyed your videos over the past 2 years or so. You've got a very nice balance of fun and science going and just enough goofiness to be original. I like your topics generally, good mix of hard cutting edge science and random fascinations. But I think what sets you apart is your down to earth relatable manner. I'm a lonely guy trapped in my decent apartment in this pandemic and your channel has become one of those comfort food channels for me. You know what I Mean? Kinda like Kittisaurus (the cutest kitties on the interwebs). Anyway keep up the great work and may I suggest the "Terrascope" as a future topic. It's a subject I'd be very interested in hearing more about that I first heard on the Coolworlds youtube channel. I'd love to hear more about a device that would be roughly equivalent to a 150 meter telescope in space!!! – Alex

44. Don't tell me what to do Joe. I will become a super villain if I want to.

45. Cinco. Lol
    BTW, there’s a mysterious life form walking behind you, and it appears to be making its own conscious decisions.

46. Such strange creatures back then that do not even fit our phyletic distinctions today; a Pre-Oxygen Methane metabolizing Earth. I studied some of these odd forms when at UC Berkeley. My professor I worked with on my thesis discovered some of them way back.

47. Joe Scott Do you think that when Intelligent alien civilizations and one day us make ASI or artificial super intelligence that they become so advanced that there isn’t the most advanced alien race because the ASI tells all the alien races everything about the universe and they basically know the answers to everything like, how to make a worm hole or, how to time travel maybe in my and your lifetime we will finally know the answers to everything’s can possible imagine.

48. 7:00 "…can be described as a lobopod, because its body was divided into lobes…" !?
    No, Hallucigenia is a lobopod, i.e. belongs to the Lobopodia, and the defining feature of this group are their paired lobe-feet, literally lobopods. Opabinia was a stem group arthropod, but its lobe feet modified into fins, make it a transitional form. Come on, Joe! Send me a DM next time you want to do something on paleontology. Love your videos still. Cheers!

49. Hi Joe, I watch a lot of Hank Green's science news shows, and I have to hand it to you, for your format makes the information more digestible. Love how you pad the subject in a way that feels more like handling something as we unbox it, as opposed to feeling like looking through the window of a train, as it's passing by…. Anyway thanks for the deeper look at things.
    = )

50. Very interesting, thanks Joe
