• Journeys Through Geologic Time
After taking you on a journey through geologic time, we've arrived at the Cenozoic Era. Most of the mammals and birds that you can think of appeared during this era but perhaps more importantly, the Cenozoic marks the rise of organisms that look a lot like us.
Thanks to Sean Murtha for the wonderful illustration of Tsidiiyazhi. Check out more of Sean's work here: www.seanmurthaart.com/
And thanks to Ceri Thomas for the very cool Titanoboa reconstruction. Check out more of Ceri's paleoart at alphynix.tumblr.com/ and nixillustration.com/
And as always thanks to Nobumichi Tamura for allowing us to use his wonderful paleoart: spinops.blogspot.com/
Thanks to Studio 252mya for their illustrations. You can find more of their work here: 252mya.com/licensing

link to the poster please!

This series is one of the few on YouTube that I can watch with my 5 year old grandson. And we are both learning together. He already wants to be a paleontologist. Or a professional wrestler. I'm hoping he stays with the first choice.
-
This is so crazy. Just imagine the place where you are sitting right now, and now imagine what it might have looked like 10 million years ago, and what type of animals were walking around on the place you now call home. Anyone else also really curious to discover things like this?
-
Wow! I’m Navajo from New Mexico and at 2:35 that bird Tsidiiyazhi in Navajo language means “small bird”. That’s amazing.
-
8:13 one of the cutest things i've ever seen.
-
It's crazy how small of a blip on the radar humanity is in the grand scheme of things.
-
PBS Eons, please don't stop making these little programmes. I live in the UK, and these episodes are exactly what I wanted to watch as a child and what I want to show my own kids. Your programmes are interesting and informative, as well as fun, which is what programmes like yours need to be. You educate as well as entertain, which is all anyone can really ask for. Thanks for the new episode, we all eagerly await more!
-
him talking about how we don't look like reptiles but I'm over here thinking about the snakes in my family 👀
-
this is the REAL greatest story ever told .i can’t get enough of it!
-
Everything changed the day the Grass Nation attacked.
-
could you do a video on how language evolved in humans?
-
This is how you compile a year's homework into one video. Great job.
-
Nobody: Me hearing I'm related to an ancient bacteria: I knew I was a parasite
-
It's amazing how this species has information about other species from so long ago. Like it makes me feel so small and in awe but also privileged to be here.
-
EONS is so awesome! Please keep doing these videos!!!
-
I'm so sad dodo's are extinct. Just imagine having a pet dodo
-
the ability to explain concepts so important so fast is exceptional.
-
"Because that's the era we're in now"--my first thought: this is like when the TV show catches up with the book.
-
As someone who loves to know the details of how everything evolved to the way it is now and how the world transformed over time, I was amazed by this episode, even if it touched over the subject superficially (though it did the best it could within the time limit). I hope that in future episodes there will be more details about the animals and events mentioned, I got really curious

This is the content I signed up for ❤ I freakin love PBS Eons!
