Science Documentary - The Origin of Mammals and Reptiles

Episode 6.1 How could a four-limbed animal reproduce far from ponds and swamps? This episode follows the amniotic egg and its membranes, which kept an embryo wet and fed, exchanged gases, and stored waste, then traces how the first amniotes split into the synapsid line leading to mammals and the sauropsid line leading to reptiles and birds as Carboniferous forests shrank and Pangaea dried.
