>>Lizards and snakes belong to a family of animals called squamates, and today there are almost 10,000 different species slithering around the world’s deserts, backyards, forests and mountains. But who is the mother of them all? Scientists have now pinned the origins of this family on a 240-million-year-old fossil that fills in some of the long-time blanks in their early evolutionary history. <<

Love the video. And the science.

Let’s find another. 240 million years is a heck of a long way back.
