First Life is Sir David Attenborough’s account of the grandest story of all – the story of the beginning of life on earth. Travelling on a ground breaking investigation, Attenborough provides a deeper understanding of the first living creatures to inhabit the planet. Using the latest technology, the BBC bring us face to face with how these early creatures would have looked and lived, showing that some of the evolutionary features of these most primitive creatures are still very much alive today in modern animals, including us humans.

Attenborough shows us how the evolution of the first eyes, the first solid body parts and the first feet and backbones came to be. Looking at global ice ages and volcanic eruptions he also shows how evolution is heavily connected with the history of the planet. The book is expertly illustrated with stills from the television series and detailed colour photographs.
