Kids love the ocean - it's mysterious and unknown, home to monsters of the imagination and some of the most fascinating life forms on the planet.

But while many grown-ups might love being by or on the sea, how much do we actually know about the world beneath the waves?

In this follow-up to A Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs, evolutionary biologist, Professor Ben Garrod, takes the listener on an oceanic journey from the beginning of life on Earth to the present day, discovering what the ocean actually is and why it's so important in the evolutionary history of life.

    Ep. 1: What Is the Ocean?
    10 Aug 2020

    A deceptively simple question....

    The series starts by answering a question: ‘What is the ocean?’

    We know it’s big, salty and wet but how did it get so big, why is it salty and why is it so important to life on earth? And what do we know about how these three things made the ocean the perfect place for the beginning of life itself? We meet the scientists studying the conditions in deep sea hydrothermal vents to find out where and how it all began.

    Ep. 2: Evolutionary Explosions
    10 Aug 2020

    How did we get from single celled organisms to the incredibly diverse ocean ecosystem we have today?

    After two billion years of painfully slow evolutionary change what happened to scramble the system and allow the earth to get messy with life? The answer again lies in the ocean. Ben finds out how changing conditions in the ocean allowed animals to evolve from their single celled origins to the huge diversity we see today, and meets some of the first weird and wonderful animals to roam the ocean bottom in Evolutionary Explosions.

  • Ep. 3: Rise of the Fishes

    Ep. 3: Rise of the Fishes
    10 Aug 2020

    During the Cambrian Explosion we find the first examples of every major animal group, including the line to which we belong - the vertebrates. In Rise of the Fishes Ben finds out more about our distant ancestors - the fish. Making up half of all living vertebrates, fish are the most successful backboned animals on the planet. And they are the group to which we owe the evolution of teeth, jaws, and even our limbs.

Enjoyed content but presented as though a children's guide. May just be the speaker's manner but irritating. Detracted somewhat but still good

Good but childish presentation

I was pleasantly surprised to find there was lots of evolutionary biology in this series. I thought the whole things was well written and narrated, with interesting interviews with various experts in different fields. My only disappointed was that it wasn't longer, could have happily listened to much more detail on all of the topics.

even better than I expected!

After listening I have realised how little I knew, especially about cleaner fish. We all need to take this seriously

Great intro to the oceans

Excellent series - listened to it all in one sitting. Easy to understand for a lay-person without being patronising.

Enjoyable and educational
