In this week's episode, we embark on an extraordinary adventure with palaeontologist Laurent Marivaux and his international team, who are piecing together the evolutionary puzzle of ancient mammals in South America. From land rafts crossing the Atlantic to near-miss diplomatic crises with Indigenous communities, get ready to journey 40 million years back in time.

How did these small mammals make their way to Amazonia? What do these discoveries mean for our understanding of animal evolution?

Join us as we dig deep into Amazonia's soil and soul to find out!
