Dies ist ein Fossil von Pohlsepia mazonensis, einem 296 Millionen Jahre alten Tintenfisch. Das sind 65 Millionen Jahre vor den ersten Dinosauriern.
Wie macht das Sinn
• 8 limbs that think independently
• 3 hearts
• Blue blood
• Can edit their own RNA
• Instant camouflage that beats modern military tech
• No clear evolutionary path in the fossil record
Im Jahr 2018 veröffentlichte ein Wissenschaftlerteam ein Peer Review -Papier mit der Aufschrift, dass Octopus -Embryonen auf einem eisigen Kometen auf die Erde gekommen sein könnten (schauen Sie nach Panspermia und Syllipsimopodi).
Sie waren hier vor Dinosauriern, die Biologen verwirren und haben außerirdische Fähigkeiten auf Außerirdische Ebene…
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass sie Außerirdische sind.

Keep cooking man this is what I come here for!
*inhale* If they were here before dinosaurs, wouldn’t that.. like… make US the aliens? *exhales smoke*
Always thought this, there’s some alien shit in the sea
I’ve been wondering about platypuses too ever since I found out that they’re venomous.
Octopuses and platypuses. It’s the puses and I’m not even joking!
This is new info to me and I’m very interested. My wife is a biologist so I’m going to ask her opinion. But pretty fucking crazy thought I like where this is going
I like this theory, although the conditions have to be perfect for any form of fossilisation, which is exacerbated by the fact that octopuses are mostly flesh and no bones/tough tissue. So unfortunately it’s extremely difficult to find fossils and therefore evolutionary direction regardless of panspermia
Cthulhu
This all just assumes that carbon dating is 100% accurate.
I have read a paper years ago that stated that octopuses came from a comet that fell in our ocean 600 million years ago, that’s why there is no evolution record of this species.
They are highly intelligent but their short lifespan and the fact they live in the water deprived them from evolving into a technological civilisation.
You can’t build tech underwater. You need mining etc…
Dinosaurs were land-based (except for some marine reptiles and flying ones), while octopuses lived in the ocean, a more stable environment during mass extinction events like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
From a quick google asking how long they live:
*It varies according to species, but octopuses, both wild and captive, live roughly 1 to 5 years. This short lifespan is a consequence of a reproductive strategy known as semelparity, meaning that octopuses breed only once in their lifetime and die shortly thereafter.*
Since octopuses live short lives and reproduce quickly, this allows for faster adaptation to environmental changes.
Octopus dad!
Apparently, in the absence of humans, they could be the dominant species. Unfortunately, dad ducks right off, and mom dies right after birthing hundreds, so no knowledge is passed down generationally, just genetically:(
The limbs think?
Lots of organisms have multiple hearts
Horseshoe crabs have blue blood
I’m not sure what you even mean by „they can edit their RNA“
Other animals have camouflage, don’t know on what basis you’re comparing it to military tech
What kind of octopus fossils are you expecting to find? You know it’s basically just a beak, right?
Op playing too much baldurs gate
Shit. At this point, anything to get us thinking about something other than Epstein, huh?
They had just a tiny bit of a head start to be fair. „Life in the sea began evolving around 3.5 billion years ago, while the first land animals appeared much later, around 375 million years ago.“
You do realize that a lot of life came before the dinosaurs? Especially stuff that didn’t have vertebrae, aka invertebrates.
And yes they were some of the first major complex lifeforms in the early oceans
Dude, you know shanks has existed since before trees right? Life in the ocean were sprawling with different forms of life long before there were even plants on lans.
Well, for being aliens they taste real good after being on the BBQ.
Cuttlefish
Yassss some real fucking food!!
This is the r conspiracy I’ve been missing.
I absolutely have always been on the side of octopi being a separate life form, or evolved from a separate life form that came here a different way than everything else.
I feel the same about tardigrades, they can survive an insane amount of super hostile conditions, that would make them perfect to be a species embedded in some sort of space debris
I think they came here from somewhere else
You know dinosaurs weren’t the first life here, right?
I totally thought this was a kitchen aid mixer bowl and someone managed to get an octopus imprint on the bottom…
Time to put down the phone…
If octopuses came from earth then we can only dream of how strange aliens could be.
Spiders lived before dinosaurs.
Plants.
Ants.
Something’s go extinct.
Some do not.
Here is a link to the 2018 paper if anyone is interested
[Cause of Cambrian Explosion – Terrestrial or Cosmic?](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079610718300798)
What sort of fossil would a boneless mass leave behind though?
Octopus evolved from shelled [cephalopods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoceras) during the silurian era. They are incredibly smart probably because they have been around for so long. Their intelligence is compatible to monkeys and dolphins. They know how to unscrew lids from jars and open latches.
Doesn’t every living being on earth share some DNA
Octopus are dope; but sharks are older than [trees](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/respect-sharks-are-older-than-trees-3818/)
Define dinosaur
Everything evolved out of the ocean though so I’m OK with something this evolved pre existing dinosaurs.
But also i love my octopus theories and can definitely get behind life being brought to the planet via space debris etc.
Now, go read the „mountain in the sea“ by Ray Nayler my fellow octopus fans! (Its fiction but some very well)
Being here before dinosaurs means nothing. Sharks were here before dinosaurs. Are sharks aliens?
Counter point. All the building blocks of life came here riding on something from the cosmos. Everything is “alien”.
