Silurian Renaissance: Sea-to-Land Leap and the Rise of Jawed Fish

A deep dive into the Silurian period (roughly 443–419 million years ago) as Earth recovers from the mass extinction and life bursts back to diversity. We unpack climate warming, rising seas, the emergence of extensive reefs, the rise of jawed vertebrates, and the first clear evidence of life moving onto land with early plants like Cooksonia and initial land arthropods. Along the way we’ll connect tectonics, atmospheric shifts, and ecological innovations that set the stage for the forests, predators, and ecosystems that follow.
