From the Seas to the Skies

S1, F1: David Attenborough uses new fossil evidence to unlock nature’s most extraordinary story - the incredible ascent of the animal group that now dominates our planet: The vertebrates. The origins of the vertebrates lie in primitive fish that once swam in ancient seas but remarkable advances allowed them to make the radical move onto land and then take to the skies with the advent of flight. Brand new discoveries of fossils - ancient and living - combined with stunning CGI and cinematography enable David to chart their unexpected journey out of the water to populate all corners of the globe.
