The Mammals series is brought to you by the American Museum of Natural History. The genome of a 180-million-year-old mammal was reconstructed. New findings in this research may have implications for human health, as well as what scientists know about mammalian evolution. For centuries, scientists have tried to uncover how and when mammals evolved. In many ways, mammals are unique—they give birth to live young; they’re warm-blooded, and they feed their babies with milk. But many questions remain. The American Museum of Natural History is one of the world’s preeminent scientific and cultural institutions. Since its founding in 1869, the Museum has advanced its global mission to discover, interpret, and disseminate information about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe through a wide-reaching program of scientific research, education initiatives, and landmark exhibitions.

What inspired the director to write the Mammals series?

The series is inspired by the director’s fascination with Mammals. There is a lot to learn about Mammals and what went into their development in the story of the series. The series has been posted by the Natural History Museum in London, which inspires the director. So, he decided to make a film about Mammals and how they were created or evolved.

What will people learn from watching this series?

People who watch Mammals will learn how much time it took for mammals to evolve from fish like amphibians, reptiles, and birds into today’s animals – humans. The series will also give a sense of just how unusual and highly evolved mammals are, as this will link to one of the key questions in the series – how did mammals evolve from reptiles?

What is the relationship between the Mammals series and Netflix’s documentary “Chasing Coral”?

This article is a collaboration between two very different films: Chasing Coral, which uses underwater cinematography to explore the consequences of climate change on coral reefs; and Mammals, which uses a combination of reconstructions and re-enactments to tell the story of their unique evolutionary history. 

Who are the director’s favorite characters and why?

My favorite character is Siobhan because she is funny. She loves to dance and loves music. My second favorite character is Jeff Wilson because he is very mad, but also funny and does care about animals. The next favorite character is Sally Hawkins because she plays Lue. Many thanks to the Natural History Museum for allowing the film to be made. The Natural History Museum in London portrays many fossils of mammals, reptiles, and fish from the past. Therefore, it is a wonderful place to make a movie such as the Mammals Series. 

What was behind the decision to do the Mammals series in partnership with Netflix?

The main reason for doing it on Netflix is due to its success around the world in making TV programs, 24 different countries already show the series so far. The director also wants to share this series with people around the world. The director wants to share his knowledge about Mammals and their development over time with people around the world. The series was made in partnership with Netflix. And now, on to the next segment of the Mammals series.
