And before you stands modern-day Pangea... one massive super-continent. Our modern continents never separated. The air hits you first. It's heavy, thick and hot, and smells of wet mud and pine. Your lawn is a dense fern jungle. Instead of your car in the driveway, you're confronted by a massive, toothy beast, staring at you like you're dinner. You turn to go back inside, hoping to wake up from this nightmare. But there's no house to go back into. This is happening, and it's not a dream. Suddenly, you'd be in competition for apex predator status with this ancient cousin of the crocodile. If the continents had never split apart, this is who your neighbour would be. So, what would that world actually look like, what would rule it, and would humans have ever even evolved? 00:00 What If Pangea Still Existed Today? 01:19 Apex Predators: Meet Postosuchus 02:08 Atmosphere & Mega-Monsoons 05:51 The Unforgiving Interior: A 50-Million-Square-Kilometer Desert 07:35 Could Humans Have Evolved on Pangea? 08:44 What Was Pangea & Who Lived There? 10:59 The Fossil Evidence: Lystrosaurus Across Continents 12:03 How Continental Drift Drove Evolution & Human Origins 15:01 Alternate Evolution: 200 Million Years Later 17:30 The Great Dying: Earth's Biggest Extinction Event 19:53 Cynodonts: The Scrappy Ancestors of All Mammals 22:00 Parallel Evolution: What Would Humans Look Like?
