What was on Earth before the appearance of humanity?

by J.-S. Steyer (MNHN, paleontologist)

Let's travel back in time to the days when dinosaurs ruled on Earth for 135 million years. Let's focus our lens on animals that roamed the planet before the dinosaurs. The journey begins 370 million years ago, when vertebrates with legs were emerging, and ends 200 million years later, when dinosaurs appeared and started thriving. In the meantime, the first vertebrates came out of the water and crossed paths with some amazing animals.

Capitaine futur's university that teaches how to play with science
Family-friendly conferences

It is at the frontiers of science and art that the inventions and creative works of tomorrow are being developed. Always one step ahead even when everything is accelerating, artists, thinkers and researchers are Capitaine futur's fellow travelers in his explorations that combine vibrant sensations and imaginative intelligence.

Capitaine futur is launching his own university to explore knowledge by discovering the world and discussing the future with eight scientists. Researchers and specialists, they will have fun explaining the expansion of the world and the new challenges in representing it, with the help of experiments and demonstrations.
