The Life of Earth Season 1

Since the dawn of humanity, we've wondered - how did our world come to be? Today, thanks to hundreds of satellites orbiting the planet, science is uncovering the full, epic story - including clues to our own role in its future. Travel through eons of fire and meteor storms - from the arrival of oceans and freezing global ice sheets to volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions - to discover THE LIFE OF EARTH. Combining spectacular visuals, pioneering research and exciting expeditions, a new two-hour series from Smithsonian Channel reveals fresh evidence to age-old questions. THE LIFE OF EARTH premieres Sunday, November 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Smithsonian Channel.
