  prehistoric life
During the course of evolution, new forms of life developed and many other forms, such as the dinosaurs, became extinct.
Prehistoric life evolved over this vast timespan from simple bacteria-like cells in the oceans to algae and protozoans and complex multicellular forms such as worms, molluscs, crustaceans, fishes, insects, land plants, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
On a geological timescale humans evolved relatively recently, about 4 million years ago, although the exact dating is a matter of some debate.

 BBC Shop - Complete Guide To Prehistoric Life, The
The Complete Guide to Prehistoric Life is a ‘who’s who’ of the prehistoric world — from primitive amphibians and giant armoured fish, to predatory dinosaurs and sabre-toothed cats.
Here, for the first time, we meet some of the truly bizarre creatures that thrived hundreds of millions of years before the dinosaurs roamed the Earth: for example, Pterygotus, a three-metre long sea scorpion, and Hyneria, a two-tonne killer fish that was capable of ‘walking’ on land.
The Complete Guide to Prehistoric Life is packed full of the latest scientific evidence on each animal’s biology, lifestyle and behaviour, and highlights key facts on size, diet and distribution.

The gallery follows the story of life after the dinosaurs, following their direct descendants the birds and of course the evolution of our own group, the mammals.
