66 million years ago a giant rock blasted the dinosaurs into the pages of history. However we are alive today, therefore our ancestor survived this event, so who were they? What fossils do we have from this time? What can palaeontology tell us about our evolution? And was a little chap called purgatorius eating flowers?

This video absolutely couldn't have been made without the help of Andrew Schwartz. Huge thanks to him for everything.
