The story of life on Earth is full of astonishing turns and few people tell it better than Dr Henry Gee.
In this exclusive bonus episode, Tristan Hughes sits down with the paleontologist, evolutionary biologist and Nature editor to talk about his remarkable career, his fascination with the deep past, and the strange, delightful routes that led him there. Henry shares the stories, ideas and odd details that have shaped his thinking, including why the far-distant past still feels so vivid, and why the biggest questions are often the most exciting ones.
