Rise of the Mammals FULL SPECIAL | PBS America 

The pride on Aeon Way-Smith's young face as she is being given recognition for a great find is so heartwarming. That is confirmation for her that her world can open up in ways she hadn't considered before. I wish for every young person to be able to have a moment like that. Beautiful, beautiful moment.

Now that's a man who knows how to narrate a documentary

Rise of The Mammals: The story of a remarkable discovery. A puzzling question, perseverance, serendipity, ingenuity all at play.

Absolutely amazing how they work out the details from the fossils. Wouldn’t be incredible if we had a Time Machine and could compare reality to what they have concluded

Wow! I love seeing all the new tech come together with imagery. The leaf patterns to identify bugs is very cool, I could listen to MacCracken talk about that for a full documentary haha

EXCELLENT !!!! EXCELLENT !!!! Absolutely FACINATING how Humans can discover so much from so long ago !!! We have been SO LUCKY to have the ancestors we had. Real SURVIVORS !!!! Ans SO LUCKY to have people that enjoy discovering our past. So many different areas of knowledge coming together to give us such a wonderful picture of where we come from. CURIOSITY is the fuel of discovery, giving us all a better understanding of who we are TODAY. Now if we could figure out how to make the POLITICIANS go extinct ????? Or at least develop a sense of honesty and integrity,

A very nicely presented documentary without the need to be hyper just to get attention. Thanks, Ronn

Thanks for posting this on the channel, great fan of this doc 😄

Thank you for sharing this beautiful documentary. Where the mammals came from is very interesting. That big boom was epic. Thank you 💛 for this beautiful documentary. Much appreciated Sir.

There is a job I could NEVER do: drill rock samples to reveal the contained fossil. I can't imagine having either the patience (incredible patience) or the fine motor control such work would require. Much prefer hard rock geology and smashing things with my sledge hammer. However, I am extraordinarily thankful for the work folks do that I never could. Kudos for them. We learn so much from what they do.

Nice natural history doc. Refreshing not to be teased every ten minutes and not having the narrative being repeated ad nauseum. Also low on over-egged drama. Four thumbs up.

Not exactly the worst day on earth but still pretty epic.

Air Date: Oct 30, 2019

Oh PBS I miss you sooo much in the years since l cut cable & got wifi, so l am so darn happy when l can catch some episodes on utube!! Thanks for another great one!:👍😊🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

Don't ever mess with another mammal's fries.

Awesome documentary!

Don't you have to give alternative facts for the creationist zealots? I guess they'll just have to work very hard to bend these facts to their liking. Good show, thanks for posting.

Proud mammal here! 💪🏻💪🏻

Extraordinary documentary revealing how mammals came to rule

Thanks for posting

I was listening to the first minute of the narration, and I was like, "Admiral Anderson!!?!" (from the Mass Effect original trilogy)

This is a great,great for all kids in the world this year its starting to get involved to discover a new type of fossil ..

Excellent- thoroughly enjoyed - isn’t case that cycads came before palms ?

nice doco

Worst day? It wasn't the only extinction.

I've been feeding a tiny shrew since last winter, one found on my walk and then again twenty minitues later again on my return back.

Wowwwww

Assalamu alykum. Mammals, those mamas that give milk - are devolving: Thinkin' brain and all.... Ameen!

I thought this will be a documentary how mamals survived while dinosaurs perished

Assalamu alykum. Yeah! Youuu. right! But He knows You exist!

And the rest is history and prehistory.

Makes you wonder about the unique ecosystem following the impact. These early mammals may have survived only by eating the bugs that themselves had specialized on decaying plant matter and fungi. It is very possible that lack of sunlight and the resulting loss of plant species (food) killed the majority of the species that were lost, not the initial impact. You have to suspect that any residual animal matter would not have been able to sustain these populations but something that could eat the worms that could live in the fungal recyclers and fallen deadwood would be doing OK. A skunk-like organism does make sense; travelling the wasteland smelling out and eating bugs in the recycling dead matter. Some birds also would be well equipped for finding such worms in fungus and rotting wood and eating them for their sole sustenance. It was rapid forced specialization of a world without photosynthesis that killed everything that could not adapt.

what brought the end to the massive fosssil resve at coral bluffs to an end.

its blows my brain how evolutions reshapes mammals humans that plants have the power to feed to change the needs of creatures in earth so why these people now destroying our forest lands and even in sea`s that many of them is religious and saying god provide this to our needs but thier exploiting it and that is why i truly loves the science just because it answers all my questions on how the nature provides all we need reshaping us

Mammals lineages had already split by 66 millions years ago.

If only mammals didn't happen

Narrated by Captain Anderson.

With all the deforestation and violence towards nature and each other what will remains for the future of humans and animals ?

I'm sure it's narrated by Keith David. Nobody else think so?

❣️

Luckily, the crock survived.

… 1:39 …rise of the mammals, right now, on nova…

Poor dinos. Good for us.

The background voice seems to be heard somewhere, yeah... In 'Rick and Morty' . . The president.. Can someone else hear the similarities.

Tony needs to suffer to a win....and he will

6:40

Dinosaurs did not roar. They whistled like birds.

Such an apocalypse and death that we still tremble in even mentioning of it 65 mln years after 😢

Yes, and now we're threatning that life again. So? I support 7 wildlife/enviromental organisations, Amnesty & Labour in the UK.

Took forever for this doc to get going

Assalamu alykum. Mamals didnt rise! THEY FELL!!!

To suggest that mammals are predominant is nonsense. Plants are far more important than any creature. Without plants, nothing lives.

And the fall of mammals. 10 000 years ago humans were below 1% of total mass of the mammals. But now we with our domesticated animals are over 99% of the mass of mammals. We have taken out the space from other mammal species. And that devastation does not end there.

"But the bible..."

I'd love to be a Proud Mammal, but I am in reality the exact opposite.......we are the one's who are going to make Earth uninhabitable for our form of life as well as most of the others living here and don't seem to want to change our ways at all in spite of this. It may have been better for every form of life on the Planet that we didn't evolve or become what we have today.....wouldn't you agree?

So when are they’re getting the animals off the ship that’s been held in WA??? The government turned a Middle East bound ship around 3 weeks ago. It has been sitting for weeks with the livestock still aboard! No word yet on when the government will be giving the livestock transport company permission to unload. This government is a massive failure to every single Australian

The Younger Dryas Comet Impact made way for the rise of humans.

Actually I began to read on wikipedia on the crater of Chicxukub and the opposing theory of the balsamic trapps in West India.. for the extinction of dinosaurs.. that is enough.. Facts.

How does a PBS documentary afford the rights to a Tom Petty song? And moreover, how does it not get a copyright strike on You Tube?

so dinsaurs didn't eat legumes.

I identify as someone who does not believe in the existence of god. I hold the view that there is insufficient evidence or rational justification to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and do not find compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of god.

I hate when docs are so dramatic. Like that part where they are so surprised to find fossils in concretion and that makes a turn in their research. Bro, that must be one of the first thing they teach you at university when you study to become a palaeontologist!

It’s free real estate yo

Neil Shubin states that 'three out of four species died' - that's 75%. Then he states 90% of all planetary life died. Contradictory is it not?

It's the worst day in the history of Earth is actually A false statement because ah 1 it never happened and 2 the uh um the flood in Noah's time happened and was the only extinction that wasn't because of man every other extinction is because of us the sinfull ones.

[Lions 🦁 and leopards 🐆 and bears 🐻,oh my!]: Revelation 13 Names of God Bible The Beast from the Sea 13 I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns, seven heads, and ten crowns on its horns. There were insulting names on its heads. 2 The beast that I saw was like a *leopard.* Its feet were like *bear’s* feet. Its mouth was like a *lion’s* mouth. The serpent gave its power, kingdom, and far-reaching authority to the beast. 3 One of the beast’s heads looked like it had a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed. All the people of the world were amazed and followed the beast. Hosea 13 Names of God Bible 4 “I am Yahweh your Elohim. I brought you out of Egypt. You have known no god besides me. There is no savior except me. 5 I took care of you in the desert, in a dry land. 6 When I fed you, you were full. When you were full, you became arrogant. That is why you forgot me. 7 So I will be like a *lion.* Like a *leopard* I will wait by the road to ambush you. 8 Like a *bear* that has lost her cubs, I will attack you. I will rip you open. Like a lion I will devour you. Like a wild animal I will tear you apart. 9 You are destroying yourself, Israel. You are against me, your helper.
