The explosion of life, which describes the evolution of plants, life in the oceans, amphibians, and insects. 3. The age of dinosaurs, which presents descriptions of various species from the Mesozoic through the Triassic eras. 4. The age of mammals, which describes animals we see on earth today, as well as birds, marsupials, and other animals. 5. Human beings, which describes our place among the Earth’s other life forms, and our development of technology and cultures within the greater ecological system.
