In times of turmoil, it can be useful to take a longer view of history. Like, a LOT longer.\xa0Paleontologist and author of \u201cThe Rise and Reign of the Mammals\u201d Stephen Brusatte joins Adam to explain how mammals took over the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, and why we survived and achieve sentience when dinosaurs died out. Stephen goes on to discuss why taking a deep look at our history can help prepare us for the crises of the near future.
