Summary

Take a trip through a strange new world where flightless terror birds as tall as a man kill with a single snap of their powerful beaks. Early ancestors of man struggle for power and territory as they try to defend themselves from the famous saber-toothed tiger. And even the saber-tooth cannot take on the glyptodon, the massive two-ton armadillo that is the most heavily armored mammal ever. It's a trip through history and evolution that begins with the end of the dinosaurs and ends with the rise of even more mysterious creatures: the first humans.
