Broadcast (2010) Attenborough's journey begins in a forest near his childhood home in Leicester, where a fossil discovery transformed our understanding of the evolution of complex life. Travelling to the fog bound coastline of Newfoundland and the Australian outback, Attenborough unearths the earliest forms of animal life to exist on Earth. These bizarre and wonderful creatures are brought to life with the help of cutting edge scientific technology and photorealistic visual effects. From the first animal forms that moved to the first mouths that ate, these were creatures that evolved the tools that allow all animals, including ourselves, to survive to this day.

In fifty years of broadcasting, David Attenborough has travelled the globe to document the living world in all its wonder. Now, in a landmark series, he completes his journey by going back in time to the very roots of the tree of life, in search of the very first animals. From the fog bound coastline of Newfoundland to the deserts of North Africa and the rainforests of Queensland, Attenborough finds evidence in fossils and living animals of an extraordinary period in Earth's history, half a billion years ago, when animals first appeared in the oceans.

From the first eyes that saw, to the first predators that killed and the first legs that walked on land, these were creatures that evolved the traits and tools that allow all animals, including us, to survive to this day. Stunning photography and state of the art visual effects combine with the captivating charm of the world's favourite naturalist. Bringing together fossil finds from the last few years that have transformed our understanding of early life forms with photorealistic CGI technology, First Life brings these animals and their environments back to life in brilliant detail. David goes back in time to the roots of the tree of life, in search for the first animals.

@AndyKing93

;:0 Makes sense....Thx

[AndyKing93]

@lxAgnosticxl he means the genus "homo", which has been around for around 2 million years. Homo Sapiens (Us) you are correct in saying have only been around for a tenth of that time :)

@6:10

He says "Humans have been around for 2 million years" *Wait a minute*

Archaeologycom, bbc news, Franic Collins, Richard Dawkins, Radiometric dating~ Wiki, Human evolution~wiki, Timeline of human evolution~Wiki, discovery news, Proof-of-Evolution all agree Humans have been around for only 200,000 years

"Religion was MAN MADE pure and simple."

That's a positive claim that has a huge Burdon of proof. You didn't go on to give any so I'll assume you don't have any in which case you commit the argument from ignorance, the taxicab fallacy, the Burdon of proof fallacy.

"The Koran, the Bible, The Torah was man made to control early society that needed fear"

Genetic fallacy

I have been watching this man since I was ten years old in the 80's, which led me to major in biology in college. Religion was MAN MADE pure and simple. I know how it touches deep feelings, but science is the truth. Religion was invented by men for men. We all die into nothingness. It's very sad to say that because it takes away from us the very safety net we like to believe that there is an afterlife.

i was with the person who discovered this...we both discovered this site and he wants to keep this secret. since this is on state land just 1,000' or so beyond his 33acre land boundary. thickly overgrown and has been cleared out we wont dig in case we destroy some artifacts left behind. he is in the process of buying that chunk of land and he wants to protect it. in the 1800s, there were witches in the area arrested and hanged in the salem witch trials. was it built by them i wonder?

[bikr1975]

well, you were talking about stones....i have a question for you. what is a person supposed to do if he finds an unknown stone circle while exploring deep woods and the circle seems to be 12' - 13' in diameter? you can dig down 6' or more and there doesnt seem to be an end. no heiroglyphs or stick figures engraved but 2 stones have 2 parallel etched lines barely noticeable. 3 are leaning different directions. what is this? pagan ritual site or what? theres 8 stones. just curious thats all.
