More beautiful than butterflies, more spectacular fliers than hummingbirds, and with intriguing behavior as complex as mammals or birds. They’ve been flying around for hundreds of millions of years, crossing paths with dinosaurs before we mammals were even a twinkle in the eye of evolution.

In the Swiss Jura, tiny wood ants build heated cities, farm aphids, brew antibiotics, and fight acid wars—yet thousands of nests choose peace. Attenborough explores a billion-strong society that may be rewriting evolution’s rules of cooperation.

Journey back to primeval Earth in the age of dinosaurs for new findings and puzzling discoveries about their evolution and extinction.

The Humboldt Current is part of a much larger system, the South Pacific Gyre, and the equator as its uppermost limit.
