Ancient plants Fibonacci sequence fossils evolution botany science discovery
Dive into the fascinating world of paleobotany as scientists uncover a 407-million-year-old fossilized clubmoss that challenges everything we know about plant evolution. This extinct species, Asteroxylon mackiei, breaks the rule of Fibonacci spirals found in modern plants.
Learn how 3D reconstructions reveal leaves arranged in non-Fibonacci patterns, suggesting these spirals evolved later in plant history. Explore the implications for understanding ancient genetics and leaf arrangement in early leafy plants.
Key highlights include the fossil's discovery at Rhynie Chert in Scotland, comparisons to living lycopods, and expert insights from researchers at the University of Edinburgh. This groundbreaking study, published in Science, rewrites our understanding of plant development.
Whether you're into science, history, or nature's mysteries, this video unpacks the evidence behind why not all ancient plants followed the golden ratio. Stay tuned for more evolutionary discoveries!
