How Pollination Got Going Twice

The video explores the evolution of pollination, starting with ancient insects like lace wings interacting with gymnosperms. It highlights the transition from wind to insect pollination, supported by fossil evidence. The rise of flowering plants, or angiosperms, marked a significant shift, with beetles and later bees becoming key pollinators. Today, pollination involves diverse insects, with angiosperms dominating plant life, while gymnosperms mostly rely on wind pollination.
