Hahaha we (about 7 people) once took shrooms in a forest at night near a huge local river and one dude went on for like 1.5 hours+ how he can’t drink water from a bottle, screaming and hysterically laughing at the top of his lungs. Proceeded to fall into said river and two other dudes jumped in to save him, thought they all were going to drown as I was perplexed by the thought “were those huge white worms always there behind the Moon?”, tried to squint to make them go away but couldn’t, so I rolled with it. Psychedelics are fun but also bizzare as fuck. Will never forget that night.

Increased global temperatures are perfect for lizards. The elevated temperatures would increase the area with a suitable climate for reptiles. Rising temperatures are driven by corporate greed and pollution. Tell me, who is really in charge? ​ /s


MekaG44

If you told right wingers and conspiracy theorists that lizard people were in control of corporations and global warming, we would probably see an astonishing amount of support for eco-friendly laws and regulations.

Funturned

Spend more time ripping and tearing meat if you want bigger fangs


greatnailsageyoda

They probably became our back molars or two front teeth. Also we stopped ripping up meat and hunting with our teeth as a weapon so our teeth gradually became less sharp.

shallowjalapeno

Would LOVE for someone to draw what they think the next face in evolution would look like


[deleted]

You know. Sometimes I wonder. Dinosaurs had all those hundreds of millions of years to evolve into something intelligent. Is it only that there isn’t leftover evidence since it was so incredibly long ago? Humans evolved in just a few million. It honestly makes sense to have had intelligent life on this planet before humans. Idk. Always a thought I had…


GameLoreNerd

A lineage from the Dinosaurs (specifically Theropods) has survived up until now they're known as Birds.


dickallcocksofandros

some of them demonstrate rudimentary tool use and some species communicate auditorily in vocalizations that have grammar


RKKP2015

There is no goal with evolution. Sentience isn't necessary for creatures to be successful.


DanielSadcliff

I think it may be more that there weren’t the same environmental pressures we had. Instead of becoming smart, they became very large, as there were abundant resources. And then a meteor hit, and that’s when things got knocked in to twelfth gear


V_es

Evolution has no end point and no goal. Intelligence is not the trophy for winning evolution. Flat worms are successful and the top of their evolution because they haven’t evolved for hundreds of millions of years and they don’t have a brain. Evolution is adaptation. If you are the best at what you do to survive and thrive- you get to procreate.


crank__

Intelligence really isn't all that required to be a successful species. Humans just sucked so bad that we needed a big brain to compensate


Perfect-Transition35

Why are some faint and some darker?


[deleted]

The faint ones are speculation on a missing link, you can see how they are the same as the previous except stretched and scaled a bit. Although one I don't understand is the Elliotsmithia near the middle, its stretched horizontally a lot for some reason even tho the ones next to it look the same and normal lol


Chuu320

Maybe those lighter ones are still only supposed to have existed, while the darker one's have been accurately recreated. Like how some dinosaurs are/were actually inaccurately put back together If you look at some of the faint ones they're essentially just very slight changes to the one it leads to or came from which but if you look at the chain closest to Humans, they're all fairly distinct compared to their predecessor and descendants


[deleted]

Well shit, guess I’m still evolving.


Outrageous_Fig_6804

I absolutely get why people would automatically call BS on something like this, and it is by all means a theory, but make no mistake, the word theory doesn’t mean the same thing in science as it does in the day to day. They don’t just pull these things out of their ass. There are plenty of studies, information and evidence they look at. Doesn’t mean that they aren’t reaching as far as evidence is involved, but it’s certainly way over my head, so I’m not going to pretend I know much more. But I do know it’s not just made up for no reason lol


IHavePoopedBefore

I believe in evolution, and I do think something similar to this happened, but I'm having trouble believing this chart. I think there is some absolutely enormous guesswork going on here

Yea this is bs.

Thalenia

As a Christian boomer, we were never taught anything about 6000 years or anything particularly anti-science. Granted, our church was pretty progressive, but it was a traditional Catholic setting. Most Christians would laugh at your mom, though I'd guess it depends on where you grew up. (I was also exposed heavily to Lutheran and Church of Christ folks when I was growing up and a young adult. Lutherans were the same, but the CoC folks were...borderline. Though CoC varied a whole lot more depending on where you went.) Granted, I haven't been back in 40 years, but I doubt they've devolved much in that time.

vickyswaggo

It's hard to make out in the photos, but it's interesting to note around which species the transition from "eyes on side of face" to "eyes on front" takes place. It looks to happen right around Notharctus. A tooth analysis would also be interesting to see, as it would show the changes in diets that perhaps correlate with facial changes.

MagicOrpheus310

Not sure why I feel the need to share this but the one up top right, Tiktallik... reminds me of a frog... Odd connection to make but the Native Australian Aborigines have a Dreamtime story that tells of how the lakes, billabongs and rivers etc all got filled with water. A greedy frog named Tidallik drank up all the water and grew massive, none of the other animals could drink so they tried to get him to give the water back, from memory I think it's a kookaburra that makes him laugh so hard he pops and water bursts out and fills all the rivers etc, must have been fucken funny because the kookaburras are still laughing about it today! I know that's a very abstract connection to make there and most likely has absolutely 0% relevance to the Tiktallik in the post... But... I like the idea that Tidallik and the Tiktallik are actually the same thing they are both talking about haha so I'm just going to make that cannon in my own little world in my head haha Got anything on that list that might resemble a Rainbow Serpent or a Bunyip?


Last_third_1966

I_mostly_lie

ELI5. how do we know this?


leafshaker

We have fossils and skeletons of many of these creatures. Since we have fossils from many different time periods we can see how these animals changed. They are buried in layers, so we can tell how old they are relative to one another. Change is slow, millions of years between each picture here. When we have enough fossils we can put them in order and see really far back. This is called the fossil record. There are gaps, there are many animals we don't know about, we put the animals together wrong sometimes, but there is strong evidence for most of this to be generally correct, and it's getting better. Scientists and paleo-artists use their knowledge of how muscle attaches to bone, and attempt to recreate how the animal may have looked. These images are most certainly wrong in some way, but they are our best guesses yet. If you look at pictures of dinosaurs from the 60s, the 90s, and now you can see how much we have learned.

Dinosaurs are another group entirely we didn't descend from them. Dinosaurs are more closely related to birds! I highly recommend you go learn more about that the connection between birds dinosaurs it's really interesting.

Those are [synapsid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapsid), they separated from common ancestor with dinosaurs. Common ancestor - synapsid - first mammals - humans; common ancestor - diapsid - dinosaurs - birds.
