S46E19 Rise of the Mammals
Sixty-six million years in the past, a cataclysmic asteroid strike led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, resulting in a worldwide inferno. A remarkable collection of fossils uncovers the story of how mammals seized the opportunity, gradually evolving into the vast diversity of species we see today, including humans, who now dominate the planet.
