Ancient Earth: The Beginning Of Life As We Know It

Education

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.

The more I learn about ancient Earth, the more it feels like life was basically an impossible accident that somehow kept working 😭

Funny how every time an ice age was created it was because too much oxygen emitted into the atmosphere creating the o-zone layer, which is a legit extinction event but it allowed more complex life. A small sacrifice for a bigger cause.

cannot wrap my mind around the concept that we were created from a collection of elements that came together at the right time to create this place called Earth that sustains a multitude of life. From rock. From hydrogen and many other amazing elements to create substances like water and oxygen and LIFE. Conscious life. Just WOW.

I'm sorry, but the soundtrack is highly distracting. Please, this is a documentary, not a movie. Having said that, it is still an excellent documentary, bringing us as up-to-date as we have got so far.

Being able to intelligently explain the circumstances of how the Earth, the solar system and life came to be is one of the greatest things about being alive. I get a sense of relief and serenity with this understanding.

Need to make sure your graphics are ok. Some of the orbital ones show some planets orbiting retrograde to the others. All of our planets orbit is the same direction and always have due to the way planets form from a planetary disk.
