4.5 Billion Years of Earth's History IN JUST 20 Minutes - Full Documentary

#PrehistoricLife #HumanEvolution #Dinosaurs
The complete story of our planet — from a ball of molten rock to you.

Four and a half billion years. That number is too big to feel, too long to picture. But every second of it actually happened, and every year left a mark.

This is the full story of Earth, told from the very beginning. From a cloud of cosmic dust to the collision that created our Moon. From an ocean of lava to the rain that fell for millions of years and filled the first seas. From the microscopic life that poisoned the entire atmosphere with oxygen, to the Cambrian Explosion that filled the oceans with creatures that look alien to us today.

We walk through the first animals to crawl onto barren land. The first forests. The Great Dying, when ninety-six percent of marine life vanished. The rise of the dinosaurs and their hundred-and-eighty-million-year reign. The asteroid that ended it. The tiny mammals that crawled out of the ashes. The warm greenhouse world where crocodiles lived at the North Pole. The ice ages, the mammoths, the sabre-toothed cats. And finally, the small upright primates who came down from the trees, made fire, and eventually looked up and started asking questions about where they came from.

That's us. The newest thing on this planet. If you compressed Earth's entire history into a single twenty-four-hour day, humans wouldn't appear until the final second before midnight.

The trilobites never knew they were trilobites. The dinosaurs never knew they were living in the age of dinosaurs. But we know. We can read the rocks, dig up the bones, and reconstruct the whole story — and we're the only species that has ever been able to do it.

This is the entire history of our world, in twenty minutes.
