00:00And also thanks again for, you know, helping to promote the book.

00:03And I'll say again, The Rise and Rain of the Mammals is out today behind me, all about

00:07the animals that took over from the dinosaurs.

00:10And really, this is our history.

00:12These are our cousins.

00:13And there we got some of them on screen.

00:15You know, these are some of the wacky creatures that have lived in the past, that they're

00:18not dinosaurs.

00:20This is us.

00:21This is our family.

00:22So I tell that story in the book.

00:24But for dinosaur fans, there's quite a lot of dinosaur content in the book, too, because

00:29I got to talk about the 150 million years mammals and dinosaurs had to coexist side by side,

00:33which is a cool story.

00:34Anyway, I won't market the book too much.

00:38I'm trying to do our reviews on live science so our readers can check it out.
