Life on Earth

S1 E9:
Mammals have proved to be one of the most adaptable products of evolution. David Attenborough looks at their growth from reptiles 200 million years ago in this classic natural history documentary. He investigates the huge variety of mammals and explores the eternal duel between the hunters and the hunted. And he seeks to explain how humans were the animals that came to dominate life on earth.
