AI synopsis

What people are saying

Overall, posts express high interest and moderate agreement about the importance of photosynthesis' evolution, illustrated by references to key events like the great oxygenation and fossil discoveries. Words like 'fascinating' and 'breakthrough' convey enthusiasm, while skepticism about certain explanations adds nuance to the supportive tone.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge the importance of the evolution of photosynthesis, with some skepticism about its explanatory power, reflecting overall support with minor reservations.

InterestHigh interest

Many posts demonstrate high curiosity and engagement, discussing technical details, fossil evidence, and atmospheric effects, indicating strong interest.

EngagementModerate engagement

Posts referencing specific scientific discoveries, like the protein in land plants or fossil cyanobacteria, show active participation and deep engagement with the research.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions highlight the profound influence of photosynthesis on Earth's atmosphere, evolution, and life, emphasizing its significance as a transformative event.

Abstract in brief

  • Photosynthesis began early in Earth's history, initially as a type that did not produce oxygen, but the development of oxygenic photosynthesis around 2.4 billion years ago dramatically transformed life and Earth's atmosphere.
  • This revolution led to new biosynthetic pathways, modifications in electron carriers and pigments, and different methods of fixing carbon, shaping modern photosynthesis.
  • The evolutionary journey of photosynthetic organisms is complex, involving lateral gene transfer and endosymbiotic events, with ongoing research combining genetic, biochemical, and physiological data to better understand their origins.]

When the light which reached Earth from this galaxy was emitted, Earth was frozen over, possibly thanks to reduced atmospheric CO2 brought about by the evolution of photosynthesis. Earth was 3,800 million years old; the most complex living thing was, maybe, sponges.

And here is one of them. We model gene regulatory networks, compare them and analyze evolution of photosynthesis. By comparing multiple networks we find high confidence regulators for photosynthesis (or any pathway you care to study really); @donat.bsky.social again www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We know the evolution of photosynthesis, leaves, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. “God done it” isn’t logical - we know where they came from, nor analytical since no analyzing is involved.

It's an illusion to think that we are not part of the natural world. Just think that in the beginning there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. That corrosive gas was created by the evolution of photosynthesis totally changing the biosphere. We are another disruptor. I agree we should give it thought.

@ProtoRenai33201 Funny theory. For a test of evolution you can look up the Luria–Delbrück experiment for example. But it's still very vague to me what you think the problem with the evolution of photosynthesis is. Maybe focus on that rather than meandering onto other topics.

When the light which reached Earth from this galaxy was emitted, Earth was frozen over, possibly thanks to reduced atmospheric CO2 brought about by the evolution of photosynthesis. Earth was 3,800 million years old; the most complex living thing was, maybe, sponges.

@IthoughtiwasU @ChristiansSTDT All a part of the greater same, we tend to look at things in slices of time but time is one long individual part of the greater whole, the evolution of photosynthesis, chemical that literally ate the Sun to make sugars and burn off its energy/to the greater entropy of Sol system.

Bitcoin isn't just a human invention - it's more like a natural evolutionary breakthrough that provides stability at a planetary scale. It's as significant as the evolution of photosynthesis or multicellular cooperation. This would imply that Bitcoin's success isn't just likely

@absoluttravesty @Devon_Eriksen_ The sun will run out of fuel eventually, this is indisputable. Survivor bias, just because something has always happened a certain way doesn't mean it always will. The earth has a history of asteroid impacts, ice ages, even an evolution of photosynthesis almost wiped out life.

@KareMHaret @Makelegs @RyanMaue About a billion years ago we had the great oxygenation with the further evolution of photosynthesis, which caused a massive die off of most life on earth. Before that there was very little oxygen in the atmosphere. As such we would suffocate quickly.

@jackiepaper162 @Credalytics @ECOWARRIORSS The homo genus evolved to harness the power of fire and that evolutionary leap is as significant as the evolution of photosynthesis. There will be an adjustment but as long as we aren't slipping back into a glaciation cycle I'm not concerned.

And here is one of them. We model gene regulatory networks, compare them and analyze evolution of photosynthesis. By comparing multiple networks we find high confidence regulators for photosynthesis (or any pathway you care to study really); @donat.bsky.social again www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@diogoalvesmaia @neiltyson Your question got me thinking: (https://t.co/x06AvhUJRP) I found this great video that shows why it’s so difficult to say why plants evolved to be green. Also, a leaf can capture up to 80% of the green light that hits it, because chlorophyll is layered (https://t.co/bjYub1R3Ch).

7. It is a fact of whole system science - nobody will try to refute this, it's an "everyone knows" thing - that since the evolution of photosynthesis, the atmosphere went from a CO2 concentration probably up in the 30% of total range, to 280 ppm (or ppb, I can never remember.)

6. The added mass of biosphere is made predominantly of carbon. This process (biosphere increase) automatically continues until some catastrophic event sets the biosphere back drastically. Meteor. Ice age. Evolution of photosynthesis / oxygenated atmosphere. Whatever.
