Georges St-Pierre sits down with Professor Hans Larsson — paleontologist, Canada Research Chair in Vertebrate Paleontology, and one of the world's leading experts on the evolution of life.
From the very first spark of life on Earth to the reign and sudden extinction of the dinosaurs, this is a sweeping journey across four billion years of history. Hans breaks down how something not alive became alive, why scientists still can't replicate that leap, and what the fossil record can — and can't — tell us about where we came from.
We get into the origins of life and panspermia, the strangest creatures ever to swim, fly, and walk the planet, the deadliest ecosystems in history, why dinosaurs grew so massive, the truth about T-Rex, the asteroid and super-volcano that ended it all, and whether modern science could ever bring extinct animals back to life.
A conversation about deep time, evolution, extinction — and how little we still know.
