(2003) Visits paleontologist, Des Collins, at the Royal Ontario Museum to trace the development of animals that lived 5 million years ago and ultimately became extinct. Des introduces the fossils of anomalocaris found in the Burgess Shale. Computer animation recreates life before the Cambrian explosion when anomalocaris and other predatory animals roamed the world's oceans. An evolutionary biologist at the museum explains how he advises staff who recreate models of prehistoric animals for the Museum. Computer animation is used to recall the evolutionary stages represented by sponges, cnidarians, and flatworms, a genetic diversity that was preparation for the Cambrian explosion. The biologist explains that the 35 body plans that exist in the world today, suddenly became evident in the Cambrian period to provide a legacy for all animals in existence today.

Ms. Diaz classifies some of the 9,000 species of sponge finding in them, vibrant animals who embody the first principles of life and living things. Focusing on cell-to cell communication, she demonstrates how sponges perform the work performed by organs in higher animals and shows how collagen supports sponge structure. She also explains how spicules define the species of sponge and how sponges obtain their food. Computer animation demonstrates how sponges feed and reproduce themselves. Moving to the Woods Hole Biological Laboratory, interviews Mitchell Sogin, an evolutionary biologist, whose experiments in gene sequencing have demonstrated that sponges are at the base of the animal kingdom.
