    Evolution. Competition. Mass extinction. Three fundamental rules have driven the rise and fall of life on Earth for over four billion years.
  • Episode 2
    Chapter 2: The First Frontier
    For billions of years, land on Earth was uninhabitable. But in the seas, predation allowed species to thrive before — and after — two mass extinctions.
  • Episode 3
    Chapter 3: Invaders of the Land
    Sprawling moss, towering trees, flying insects, limbed amphibians: Early species vied for domination as the land went from hostile to hospitable.

    Chapter 4: In Cold Blood
    After Earth's third mass extinction, mammals' surviving ancestors ruled the supercontinent Pangea. But lizards soon ushered in the age of reptiles.
  • Episode 5
    Chapter 5: In the Shadow of Giants
    The formation of continents with varied environments allowed for an explosion of biodiversity — and turbo-charged the evolution of mighty dinosaurs.
  • Episode 6

    The dinosaurs met their end with a cataclysmic asteroid impact. Rising from the ashes, birds reinvented themselves 4000 into a dynasty 10,000 species strong.

    Chapter 7: Inheriting the Earth
    Emerging from the dinosaurs' shadows, mammals went from underdogs to global power, with game-changing adaptations that would conquer land, air and sea.

    As the Ice Age thawed, humans rose above the rest. But the possibility of a sixth mass extinction now looms: Has our ingenuity caused our downfall?
