Animal of the week Not long ago, there was no yard on earth – Silence could be broken by a hepocat

No later than 250 million years ago, the buzzing of crickets could have been heard in the forests.

World is full of blob and noise. But imagine that a long time ago there was no yard on earth. There was no mouthpiece when there was no mouth to play.

In the myths of the ancient sea, unicellular organisms drifted and popped each other without any noticeable metache. Does not bacteria.

For billions of years, the sound world of the planet was the noise of the sea, the rumble of volcanoes and the thunder of thunder. But nothing heard it.

Paleontologists Michael Habib pondered recently Scientific American development of the auditory and vocal organs.

We do not know what was the first organism that was able to hear. Early fish may have had some kind of pressure-sensitive ear structure, but what did they listen to? Trilobite spitting in the bottom sand?

It was not until life rose to earth that sensing air pressure fluctuations became an important feature.

The first insects evolved 400 million years ago. They were probably deaf. Even the wind was practicing humming in the trees when the forest was still a relatively recent invention.

No later than 250 million years ago, the buzzing of crickets could have been heard in the forests. That’s when the ancestors of the current hepatocytes, crickets and songbirds appeared.

The petrified wings of the ancient hepocat, which show similar sharp structures as those of the current hepocat, were recently discovered in China. With them, they squirm, rubbing their wings together. It was even possible to deduce from the fossil what sound this pre-hippocotus has held. It chirped at 6.4 kilohertz.

Cascades, on the other hand, make sounds by bending and clicking the chitin structures in their hind bodies. They can produce up to a hundred decibels of buzz and buzz.

There then the peace of the forest was ruined. Soon dinosaurs appeared to mumble and mumble. From them, the current songbirds evolved through the bend.

And even Hepocatha was able to settle down on the road when a man came and built the road.
