Summary |
Since the emergence of life on our planet more than 3 billion years ago, it has faced a series of devastating catastrophes. Yet somehow, a few special species managed to make it through. How? Professor Richard Fortey travels across the globe to investigate the survivors of history's three biggest mass extinctions and find out what it takes to become a long term survivor. In this episode, Richard focuses on a series of cataclysmic events which saw 90 per cent of species perish 250 million years ago. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) (Part 1 of 3) *New Series* G CC |
