The Earth 300,000 Years Ago | 300,000 Subscribers Special

What was our planet like 300,000 years ago? What sort of animals were around? What was the climate and geography like? And which human species were alive?

Thank you so much for getting the channel to (well over) 300,000 subscribers! We're just a little bit late to this one...

Please let us know of any inaccuracies that may be in the video - this was a big project and we talk about a lot of controversial and ongoing research topics, so apologies in advance if we got something wrong!

As a paleoecologist I massively appreciate the attention you gave to this sometimes underappreciated scientific field! Sediment cores are perhaps not as "sexy" as fossil bones, but the climate and landscapes we can reconstruct with them are fascinating!

I've gotta say, this was vastly more interesting than the "Earth 10 Years Ago" special.

The fact the sloth dung still has a smell is actually kinda cool in a weird gross way. It's almost like time traveling.

I've been here for a long while, and I hope to be here a long while more

Hunting for early humans must have been like going to war. Not everyone is coming back.

I'm always fascinated by mega-fauna. They don't seem to get as much popular press as dinosaurs.

I have issues leaning things without them being told to me or having help understanding what I'm reading. Ur channel and the way u guys present information is SOOO easy for me to comprehend and lock into memory.
Thank y'all for doing what u are doing! I love this and it's definitely fun to listen to! 😁🤙🖤

Last time I was this early woolly mammoth and rhino were still alive.
Good content as always ben!

[aaronmarks]

Every time I see videos like this, I wish desperately for a time machine so that I could see all of these amazing animals and environments for myself.

[angelicagaldos]

Congratulations on 300K. Let the subs rolling. Love you guys.

You’re gaining subscribers faster then you can make specials!
Your content definitely has an effect on the people who watch it and that’s awesome to see!

I've always been amazed by the snapping turtle and how prehistoric they look and the range they can live in even extremely freezing temperatures.

[mateuszjokiel]

Bloody hell, its feels like 200, 000 was like last week! Congratulations, guys, you completely deserve it!

This channel should definitely be recognized more. It is very educational.

[ShellyAnna]

Stumbled onto one of your videos and really enjoyed it. This 70y/o loves anything to do with history or paleontology. Have made a playlist to watch this evening of your "milestone" videos, starting with this one. You earned a new subscriber tonight, thanks for the videos.

Pretty thorough presentation! There have been so many developments in these fields over the past 20 years, ... this seems to be fairly up-to-date. Good on ya, mates.

The first video I ever saw from you guys was your 50, 000 special. I'm happy to have seen you guys grow so much and hope to see the channel grow so much more in the future!
