Synopsis
A staggering 99.9 percent of all animal life that has ever lived is now extinct, and this visually dazzling eight-part series chronicles the 600-million-year history of Earth's fauna. Using cutting-edge research and recent scientific theories, the series vividly re-creates some of the horrifying disasters in the history of our planet, including the gigantic asteroid that slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula, killing off the dinosaurs. The series ends with an exploration of the future and what happens when an asteroid theoretically hits New York City, causing humans to revert back to nomadic life, as in ancient times.
