Added to this, I think you can visually identify animals or locations quickly with onscreen text, and it's sort of odd to me that modern paleo docudramas don't employ this technique. (This fan-edit of Prehistoric Planet does, and it works really well!)

#PaleoAgainstAI The amount of anatomical, environmental & artistic knowledge one has to gain to reconstruct past worlds is staggering. It's a responsibility to share the knowledge w/ the respect it deserves. And unlike AI, we put great efforts to not misinform the public. PS. see Alt #sciart #art

Daohugou biota from Tiaojishan Formation, featuring an anurognathid Jeholopterus flying through a forest, surrounded by mayflies, and a fat salamander - Pangerpeton. A Volaticotherium is sitting on a branch in the background.

A stylised illustration portraying an agitated Velociraptor in two versions: feathered and feathers removed. It aims to show how birdlike they were under the integument.

A stylised drawing of Pterodaustro. The pterosaur is portrayed in shallow water (where it likely fed in using hundreds of teeth to filter food items), with hands positioned outwards as suggested by pterodactyloids footprints. The wing membranes of pterosaurs had sophisticated anatomy and are shown contracted. The fluff on the tail hints to the viewer that the animal was covered with pycnofiber. The Pterodaustro colours are inspired by flamingos, modern animals of similar feeding behaviour which take their pigments from their food.

One episode into #EvolutionWithChrisPackham , and there's already no doubt about the final score. 10/10. I REPEAT. 1 0 / 1 0 . ONE OF THE PINNACLES OF MODERN PALEO DOCUS. AN UTTER AND ABSOLUTE TRIUMPH OF EDUCATIVE, PROFESSIONAL, INFO-RICH STORYTELLING that never ever sees the audience as idiots.

From #Apollo (left) to #Artemis (right), two glances at our only home, 54 years apart. One was our Blue Marble — full and vibrant. The other seems like a tiny, solitary jewel in the black cosmic ocean. Yet it’s always the same #Earth. The same heartbeat. That’s us… in both.❤️ 🔭 🧪

This is Earth as photographed by the Apollo 17 crew on December 7, 1972. The whole planet pretty much fills the picture — you see the deep blue oceans, those swirling white clouds, and Africa standing out as this big brown landmass right from the center to the upper left. It’s the famous Blue Marble shot. Credit: NASA

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition

The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away

What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse

The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable
