Evolution of Life on Earth

The video explores the evolution of life from the sea to land, highlighting key developments such as the formation of cells, the diversification of species, and the rise of mammals. It covers the transition of life forms from simple bacteria to complex organisms, the emergence of mobility and body structures, and the adaptation of species to new environments. The narrative also touches on the mass extinction event that led to the dominance of mammals.
