BBC - David Attenborough - First Life - 1. Arrival (3/4)

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 traits and tools that allow all animals, including ourselves, to survive to this day.

Does any body think that "dickinsonia" was not a random name, but a well prepared one by a scientist who had a girlfriend named Sonia ????

Isn't there a possibility that the first animals could have moved in the same way as for instance present flatworms, who flat animals often moving over the seafloor by using the cilia who are covering their body?

Rincewind: "Some of the rocks have all kind of yuk on them, if that's your idea of a good time."

Ridcully: "Yuk?"

Rincewind: "Yeah, you know. Gunge."

09:12, I don't really see why Dickinsonia would move slowly forward like a sea star if the tracks are like imprints rather than a long, feature poor track you would find after a snail. They may have swimmed up from the bottom and then swimmed to anothe place to gather food or something, and then swimmed to another location, and then another, and so on. This is only a guess, however.
