Somewhere around 470 million years ago, something happened that shouldn’t have been particularly striking. An algae found its way onto land. This algae turned the lands of this earth green, altered the chemistry of the atmosphere, and created homes for future life. This algae would give rise to all of the land plants of today. Part of the "Journey to the Microcosmos" series.
