AI synopsis
The collective discussions reveal a strong consensus linking the formation of the Isthmus of Panama to major geological and climatic shifts, with examples like the impact on ocean currents and migration patterns, supported by scientific references and personal observations. The tone is intellectually engaged and emphasizes the importance of this event in Earth's history.
Most discussions strongly support the scientific consensus that the Isthmus of Panama formed around 2.8 million years ago and emphasize its significance in shaping Earth's history.
Posts show high engagement with the topic, with people discussing its effects on ocean currents, climate, and animal migrations, indicating a keen interest.
Many interactions reference scientific studies, personal experiences, and ongoing research efforts, showing deep engagement with the material.
The discussions highlight the profound global consequences of the formation, such as climate change, biogeographical distribution, and ocean circulation, demonstrating high impact.
Millions of years ago, North and South America were completely separated by water. Following the tectonic formation of the Isthmus of Panama, animals began migrating between the two continents. In short, that's how the U.S. ended up with opossums. Goodnight. https://t.co/fH8c5JxHex

this would have been a photo of an ivory-billed woodpecker before the formation of the isthmus of panama (3-20 million years ago). or at least, it would have been a photo of an ivory billed woodpecker ancestor. but thanks to speciation, it's a pale-billed woodpecker. https://t.co/7RHqwvrljx

@AMAZlNGNATURE Holmesina floridanus was a pampathere, which is an extinct family of xenarthrans that were distantly related to extant armadillos and adapted for grazing.

@JimBowersclimb @hausfath 10 million years ago we had ice on the Antarctic continent but no Arctic ice. 2.58 million years ago 42,000 year glacial cycles started then 800,000 years ago they switched to 100,000 year cycles. Probably due to the formation of the isthmus of Panama.

Just seeing this map sent me down a rabbit hole on the thermohaline circulation, ice ages, and the formation of the isthmus of Panama. Which, unsurprisingly, is not as simple as "this caused that which resulted in this other thing" Thanks!
A lot of confusion about CAS history comes from different meanings of "closed". We see 4.1 million years ago as the end of basin-scale transports across the CAS. This does not negate small passages that allowed for genomic mixing between ocean basins (7/8) (doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1600883)
The broadly accepted formation of the Isthmus of Panama is ~3.5 million years ago, early closure has been suggested before: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

@PeterDClack Is the cooling due to the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, separating the Atlantic from the Pacific, which changed ocean circulation patterns? If so, maybe we could just blast more rocks and fix the cooling problem.

A growing body of evidence suggests that the formation of the Isthmus of Panama partitioned the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and fundamentally changed global ocean circulation.... set the stage for glaciation in the Northern Hemisphere at 2.7 million years ago.

It first shows up prior to the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, meaning its ancestors island-hopped into North America (megalonychid sloths did it 5 million years prior). And it's interesting to note that its ancestors basically ruled South America as its apex predators...
@chrispkin @Ceist8 @goddeketal Over 150 MYs there are tectonics involved. South America separating from Antarctica, the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, not to mention Milankovitch Cycles, etc that played a role in earths climate. Surely the Anthro-induced CO2 spike is different from all of that, no?

Not at all my area of expertise, but as far as I know, the consensus is still strongly in favour of the Isthmus of Panama forming properly ca. 3 million years ago. [Actual experts, feel free to bringing me up to speed if I've missed a major shift.] https://t.co/k4w2mU1Nsk
