Prehistoric Life: The Definitive Visual History of Life on Earth

Prehistoric Life: The Definitive Visual History of Life on Earth. The history of Earth before man, or pre-history, is not pre anything to the organisms that existed millions of years ago and Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Prehistoric Life effectively guides us through the four and a half billion years or so before we first walked upright. In thirty minutes, this video colorfully dives into the theories behind the creation of the Universe and the molten blob that eventually became Earth. Several hundred years ago, the Earth's age was determined by adding the ages of the people in the Bible, determining that the Earth was created in the fall of 4004 BC. Modern Science has effectively dated geological finds back in the billions of years-creating a prehistory mammoth in scope to human history.
