First Life with David Attenborough - Ep 2 Conquest (2010)

Sir David Attenborough is going on a journey in search of the very first animals to exist on Earth, beginning in a forest near his childhood home in Leicester, where a fossil discovery transformed our understanding of the evolution of complex life. Ep 2 Conquest - Attenborough's journey continues in Canada's Rocky Mountains, where fossils document an explosion in animal diversity never seen before or since. Travelling on to North Africa, the rainforests of Australia and the east coast of Scotland, Attenborough discovers how animals evolved to conquer not only the oceans but also the land and air. #paleontology #fossils #documentary #science #cambrian #BurgessShale, Opabinia, #Anomalocaris #Trilobites #Eurypterids #seascorpions #Carboniferous #insects #Arthropleura #Meganeura
