A 4 billion year biography of the planet we call home. From the first drop of rain that transformed a lifeless landscape into a watery world, to the emergence of the planet's most incredible inhabitants - us. But at the center of this story are not people at all, but a stunning and diverse planet at defining moments in its development. The first of five parts is "The Fire Inferno". 252 million years ago, a catastrophe occurred that destroyed almost all life on Earth. The planet was closer than ever to returning to its starting point, but this catastrophe magically gave life on Earth a new impetus and served as the beginning of a new geological era - the age of dinosaurs.
