Before Pangea ever existed, Earth already pulled off a massive experiment called Nuna, and it quietly changed life forever. In this video, we talk about how this ancient supercontinent formed nearly two billion years ago, smashed landmasses together, and completely rewired Earth’s climate, oceans, and early life. I’ll walk you through how Nuna affected oxygen levels, volcanoes, early microbes, and why complex life might not exist without it. We also compare Nuna to later supercontinents to show how Earth keeps remixing the same pieces with wildly different results. It’s a reminder that life on Earth didn’t just adapt to change — it was shaped by continents colliding on a planetary scale 🌍🧬 Credit:<br />Don't Look Up / Hyperobject Industries<br />BENNU’S JOURNEY: By NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Conceptual Image Lab - https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12034, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BENNU%E2%80%99S_JOURNEY_-_NASA.webm<br />Earth: Making of a Planet / Handel Productions<br />The Time Machine / Warner Bros.<br />Deep Sea Vents: By NOAA, https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/lifes-building-blocks-form-in-replicated-deep-sea-vents/<br />CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0:<br />Miller-Urey experiment: By Courtney Harrington, The Community College Consortium for Bioscience Credentials, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Miller-Urey_experiment_-_Work_by_the_C3BC_consortium,_licensed_under_CC-BY-3.0.webm<br />CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0:<br />Timeline showing the Boring Billion: By J.
