EARTH
Monday, 9pm, BBC2 Factual
Today, around eight billion people live on Earth, and in this last episode of the series, Chris Packham explains how humankind came to be and how we went from being part of nature to controlling it.
Starting from when an asteroid the size of Mount Everest wiped out all non-flying dinosaurs, he shows how this event allowed the few remaining mammals to thrive.
