Following the journey of fossils from their discovery in remote corners of the earth to laboratories, museums, auction houses and collectors’ living rooms, the film weaves together interlocking stories of eccentric characters caught between the demands of commerce and the basic human drive to unlock the most profound mysteries of life. THE BONES takes us deep into the Gobi, Sahara, and North American badlands, and through laboratories, museums, high-end auction houses, and grungy hotel rooms at the Tucson gem show. Wrapped in elusive questions about the origins of life on earth, and its potential future demise, THE BONES unearths the deep passions at the heart of the dinosaur world.

New evidence has paleontologists questioning whether a third of all dinosaur species ever existed. Could some discoveries once thought to be distinct species, in fact, be the same species at different stages of development? National Geographic joins famed paleontologists—including Jack Horner, a contributing expert to the Jurassic Park films—who are challenging the long held belief that young dinosaurs looked like miniature versions of their parents.

Scientists discuss the possibility of reverse-engineering the DNA of modern birds to recreate dinosaur species, instead of cloning fragments of dinosaur DNA extracted from amber and other ancient fossils.

The dynamic meeting of solid science and futuristic simulation culminates in a dramatic exploration to another inhabited planet seven light years away. Alien Planet creates a realistic depiction of creatures on another world, where life is possible, if not provable, according to scientists' theories. Take this fascinating journey created by state-of-the-art animation and photo-realistic effects.
