Long ago, the oceans were home to all living things. Then some creatures moved ashore. But how? This program outlines the stages of natural selection that enabled water-dwelling animals and plants to survive, and then thrive, on land. Key evolutionary innovations such as exoskeletons and endoskeletons, legs and feet, cold blood and warm blood, lungs, hard-shelled eggs, fur, and live young are exemplified by a diverse group of arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Original BBCW broadcast title: Land Grab. (51 minutes)
