4-' The Animal Kingdom ' : talk by D. M. S. Watson , F.R.S.
This series has been designed on the broadest possible scale to show how the human race fits into the vast scheme of nature as a whole. Long before man first appeared on this planet there was an unbroken stream of animal life, which developed through millions of years to result in thelife which is generally recognisable today. The fish were succeeded on dry land and in the water by the reptiles. After the age of the dinosaurs came the first mammals. Long after these earliest of warm-blooded creatures came man. Such is the scope of this evening s talks.
