Cyanobacteria with in the ocean gave life its start.

Cyanobacteria, this symbiotic bacteria that are prokaryotic represents one of the first known life forms on earth and are found in marine aquariums and as one example we can identify with, being known as slimy red algae, is not an algae at all.

One of the many annoying forms of life we endure in a marine aquarium keeping has a distant relative that began the photosyhtesis of toxic gases that covered the planet to oxygen here on earth, that we owe our existence to.

You could say that blue green algae gave us life?lol!

These days we rely on phytoplankton for most of the earth’s oxygen, but in many areas around the world and at shark bay in West Auz, there are still some of these tiny creatures relatives in the largest living colonies on earth in what could be described as an area of underwater white ants nests in appearance.

It’s because of creatures like these, the earth received enough oxygen to flourish; allowing larger creatures to evolve and inhabit this world once the air reached that needed level of oxygen to allow full on evolution, and here we are!

What has become obvious over the last hundred years is that level of oxygen once needed to begin and encourage intense diversity with evolution is going backwards from land clearing, abundant CO2 and ocean sediment eliminating some of the worlds needed photosynthesis, so we have some serious changes to how things evolve here in the future, because of us.

This makes so little sense in that we are here and we are removing some of what put us here and is keeping us here, it makes you wonder what happened to the evolution of the human brain!

Any way check out the link,its very interesting.
