This lecture by Dr. Brian Davis from the University of Louisville explores the often-overlooked story of early mammals during the Mesozoic Era, commonly known as the "Age of Dinosaurs." Discover how these small creatures, despite living in the shadows of dinosaurs, experimented with diverse lifestyles that would eventually lead to their evolutionary success. Learn about the paleontological techniques used to find these tiny fossils and understand what they reveal about early mammalian life. Presented at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology on April 10, 2025, this 44-minute talk answers fascinating questions about how early mammals lived and why they ultimately became one of Earth's most successful animal groups.
