What Was The First Complex Life on Earth?

Holy cow, took me awhile to realize this is a YouTube creator, and not a network produced documentary that was uploaded by someone. I don't know if I've seen this sort of quality before... well done chaps!!!

Your videos are my go to for when I'm panicked or stressed, just listening to your voice explaining topics that make me think. Gets my mind off whatever it is and calms me down.

My father & myself both love these documentaries so much! My dad is a retired science teacher, and I'm a doctor, and we've always been fascinated with the topics you cover on this channel and the History of the Universe sister channel. We are blown away by the quality, especially the depth of research, not to mention the scripts, the editing, the clip selection, the soundtrack - it's all phenomenal. Your videos remind me of the high quality science documentaries I used to watch on the BBC when I was a bit younger, only they were the result of an entire film studio and countless experts, writers, cinematographers etc.. To have these for free on Youtube is mind-blowing! Thank you SO much!

4:40 "either by the bones or the stones they left behind" bravo, sir

My favorite part was at 31:37, when the research assistant fumbled the microscope and destroyed a priceless specimen.

The stones and bones was an absolutely brilliant quip, and the delivery really makes it. It is so subtle and understated that it almost slips by unnoticed. Well done. Well done, indeed.

Leila Battison....is one hell of an impressive writer and researcher. And having the Kelly brothers in the project brings it even closer to perfection. There is no video on this channel and History of The Universe that doesn't leave me in awe. Thank you, as always, for the incredible (and free!) content.

Best, by far, documentary channel on you tube. Great narration, scripting, all of it. Love these vids and channel, amazing

19 months and well over 200,000 subscribers already. You'll have 1,000,000 subs in no time if you can keep up with this type of consistent quality. Thank you for the free access. Much appreciated 🙏.

Nice balance in vocal warmth / space here. I see you taking that advice. It's actually very skillfully applied here, like you're constantly working on your craft, and it was beyond exquisite to begin with. You, and those you work with are quite gifted. Complex life in its fractal explorations somehow resulted in you. A gift we all cherish. Cheers.

An hour? This will be good!

- i name thee: SCROTUM HUMANUM ! - pardon? - balls, my lord. balls

These documentaries are incredible. The amount of research it takes to create one documentary must be legendary. So is the narrator's ability to narrate for so long without his voice showing any signs of giving out. No breaking or raspy hoarseness. Great job folks.

I was a natural science guy in undergrad, but decided to go to med school. What blows my mind, is how much more we know, over just the last 20 years. It is incredible! I enjoy this channel so much. I feel like it brings me up to speed on the latest and greatest.

How can this channel possibly have only 277k subscribers? This is top tier stuff.

I (as a geologist) was highly critical of your inferior stock footage of lab microscopy, but at 31:38 when the slide broke, that was just hilarious!

As someone with a decades long interest in Paleontology, I found this video fascinating and beautifully made. It’s a pity that it has so few ‘likes’, as this is the kind of information people should be consuming in order to understand how life evolved in our planet.

When regarding skeletal remains, I love how the Cyclops mythology came about after people saw elephant skulls, assuming the large nasal passage was an eye socket. I can only imagine what else was cooked up when people saw strange skeletons and bizarre fossils. Dragons no doubt, sea monsters, too.

I LOVE your work. You have the keen sense of asking the right questions and getting to the answers in the most pleasing way.

I really love every aspect of your video. I mean everything! The soothing narration combined with slow fading/moving images without any sudden transition generates calmness and relaxing. And the detail of the research is clearly unquestionable. Very good job!
