Our planet as we know it is a result of billions of years of complex science that professionals are still riddling out to this day. In this three-part series, we look at 3 of the core eras of ancient Earth and how life could form. In these episodes, we explore a few of the critical events of Earth's history, from how the Moon was theorised to have formed by the collision of Theia, to the Great Oxidation Event and how it was a catalyst for the evolution of oxygen-based life on Earth. Welcome to Progress - the home of engineering marvels, space exploration and history's greatest inventions. From rockets that took us to the stars to the world's most advanced military vessels, we'll be bringing you world-class documentaries every week. Discover the past on History Hit, with ad-free exclusive podcasts and documentaries released weekly and presented by world-renowned historians Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Matt Lewis and more.

This is the kind of content YouTube was made for.
Ancient Earth was a wild, unpredictable place. It’s amazing how life managed to emerge in such a chaotic environment
I was utterly shocked to learn that the late bombardment hypothesis might not be accurate after all! Great documentary!
Superb documentary. It filled a lot of holes in my knowledge. For instance how the great oxygenation event suddenly happened because the sea ran out of iron. I am going to watch this a few times more. Many thanks
Cant hear anything with all that background noise
What a great video that should be shown in Primary Schools everywhere!
Voice up or music down 😢.
Wow thank you I love this stuff stimulates my brain it's awesome keep that stuff going
Very informative video thats 99% accurate ( compared to the content creators that just assume the first thing they see is correct ) I agree with others that the music is too loud! ) just export the video again after you take the music out! Some people don’t realise that most creators use other people’s content after adding or deleting parts, especially if it is a video like this because all the animations were made by a professional editor that took a long time to make! That’s why many creators use and transform the same material and still do a good job to the point that people don’t realise! So just remember that when you comment you seen some parts before when it would take hundreds of hours to make the same type content Subbed 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧👌
The music is too loud and there's way too many weird sound effects.
This is the best, most up-to-date documentary on the Proterozoic eon I've ever found. Excellent writing and narration.
The Fission Theory of the Moon's formation makes the most sense. Consider the Conservation of Angular Momentum. When the Earth was forming, it was lumpy, irregularly-shaped. As the Earth acquired more mass, it began to crush down, increasing its' density. It would have been a lot like an ice skater pulling in his or her arms, resulting in faster spin. If the Earth was molten during this time, as it almost certainly was, it is feasible that some mass was ejected. It would explain why the Moon is moving away from the Earth. In the Theia Hypothesis' case, the Moon would have formed from debris that had formed an accretion disk. As the debris began to clump and become larger, more massive, the gravity would have increased, and thus the attraction between the Earth and the Moon would have become stronger. It stands to reason that the Moon, under such circumstances, should have been getting closer, not farther. With regard to the rocks brought back from the Moon, the surface of the Moon consists almost entirely of regolith. Millions of impacts of billions of years have resulted in pulverized, powdery dust. Even the rocks cannot possibly be guaranteed to be part of the original Moons' bedrock versus debris from an asteroid or comet. How could they possibly know without getting down to toward the core? Remember, if the Fission Hypothesis is correct, while the Moon was molten right after being ejected by the Earth, it would still have been being bombarded by space debris since both the Earth and Moon were still forming, while the solar system was still forming and full of rocky objects, far more so than today. Of course, the Moon would have cooled much faster. Anyway, all the evidence seems to point toward the Fission Hypothesis, in my opinion.
BRAVO! This was the most honest and up-to-date history of our planet and life I have ever seen. Thank you, OLEG KUZNETSOV and GERRY ASMUS, for an amazing job! GBY
The best of all time keep it up 😊😊
Well done! Great animations and script! And it was greatly appreciated that multiple hypotheses were presented, being reflective of how science is done.
15:26 ... You left a title frame in that I don't think you meant to. "Media offline"
how good is that, the crash into earth gave us seasons,,who doesn't like that plan
Great presentation and explanation. A new book published by Austin Macauley Publishers titled From Chemistry to Life on Earth outlines abiogenesis in great detail with a solution to the evolution of the genetic code and the ribosome as well as the cell in general using 290 references, 50 illustrations and several information tables with a proposed molecular natural selection formula with a worked example for ATP. Cheap as an e book.
I wanna sleep to this, but it’s too captivating— I also wanna watch
Great stuff! Who knew I could learn so much? Please turn the music down, though, or leave it off completely. Thx,
