One of the most dramatic scenes is when David shows
us a magnolia seed found in a 7000-year-old grave in
Japan. It was planted, and it grew! It turned out to be
a species that is extinct, but is the direct ancestor of a
living species. This was remarkable!

sprouted in four days just like its modern sibling,"
plant physiologist Jane Shen-Miller, of the University
of California at Los Angeles, said Monday.
