Science Documentary - How Whales Evolved from Land Animals

Episode 6.7 How did the world change after the dinosaurs vanished—and why did no single future become inevitable? Over the next 64 million years, mammals and birds diversified, some grew enormous, bats took to the air, and land mammals became whales, while carbon release, cooling, grass expansion, shifting continents and spreading ice repeatedly reorganized habitats. Primates were already part of this branching history, ready for the next chapter. Sources, visual credits and license information: https://from-cosmos-to-civilization.p...
