A New Prehistory

Synopsis

The world of paleontology is currently experiencing a golden age: more fossil species have been unearthed in the past decade than in the last two hundred years when this science first emerged.  Thanks to new technologies combining genetics, ethology, geology, and even particle physics, paleontologists can now recreate some of the missing branches from the tree of life.  Assumptions have been shattered and all the rules are changing.

Now, paleontologists can finally answer three vital questions:

– Where do insects come from?
– Where do birds come from?
– Where do mammals come from?

This series, based on ultra-realistic 3D computer graphics, and supported by the world’s leading international scientists will bring these forgotten creatures to the screen and explore the ideological controversies or frauds that accompany their discovery.
