(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyostegalia) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Ichthyostega, one of the first vertebrates to crawl onto land, so if you hate modern things like war, taxes, or reality shows, you can blame this guy. From the Late Devonian, this 5-foot stegocephalian inadvertently paved the path forward for all land vertebrates including humanity. Kind of like that time in 1918 a Private had a limping soldier in his sights and refused to shoot him, but then that soldier turned out to be Hitler. True story. Point is, someone should have pushed Ichthyostega back into the water. Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/MatthewDonald.
