The beginning of all things living. Fascinating, innit? Forget the Big Bang Theory for a moment and enjoy a revisionist Adam and Eve tale, the myth behind the creation of life, a lady of four millions year old (and we thought we were getting old!), and a lot of Renees (don't ask). You will also gain insight in the dinosaur life under the sheets.
