The evolving Earth

Welcome to the future

Building a vision of the planet aeons from now isn't straightforward, even when you involve some of the world's best scientists. But nature does work to certain rules which we can use to make predictions.

For example, our Geologists can tell quite accurately how the continents will shift, so this gives us a clear picture of what the Earth will look like along the timeline.

From this our climatologists can forecast how the weather might behave (whilst throwing in a few unpredictable events along the way, such as huge volcanic eruptions and asteroid strikes).

Then using this data our biologists can project what plants and creatures might evolve and how they might behave - to create the living, breathing worlds of The Future Is Wild.

Everything you'll see is based on the best available science. No event or animal is outside the realms of possibility. It could all happen - so get ready for the voyage of a million lifetimes!
