The 400 Million Dollar Emerald

An 840 pound emerald -- the worlds largest -- is unearthed in Brazil in 2001. The resulting
tale of deceit, obsession, and folly is almost too bizarre to be believed. A businessman claims
to have bought it in Brazil for a mere $60,000, only to see his proof of purchase vanish in a
suspicious house fire. Another man obtains title to the emerald, only to lose it in a diamond
deal that falls through, he says, because he was kidnapped by the Brazilian mafia. In
between, the emerald spends weeks submerged underwater in a New Orleans vault after
Hurricane Katrina. By the time the stone finds its way into the California judicial system in
2008, no fewer than eight claimants are tussling for control of a specimen appraised at
around $400 million.

Ancient human grave sites speak volumes to those who listen. These haunting human time
capsules have been uncovered all over the world. Some even reach a certain level of fame:
The Ampato maiden sacrificed on an Andes peak. The Alpine Ice Man, the oldest frozen
mummy ever found. Englands 9,000yearold Cheddar Man. Others stories are known only to
the ages, like a cache of elaborately adorned 7,000yearold mummies unearthed in Chile, and
the thousands of Egyptian mummies actually burned as train fuel in the 19th century.
Modern science now allows us to explore these human treasures without destroying them,
and connects us all to the secrets of the ancient dead.

Recently, paleontologists unearthed the fossilized remains of a 35-foot, 240 million-year-old
ichthyosaur in Nevadas Augusta Mountains and instantly knew this creature would have
been the oceans top predator. Join the investigation as scientists attempt to understand where
this unique creature fits in the evolutionary history of the first sea reptiles. Both in the lab
and in the field, paleontologists search for clues to explain how a species that originally came
from land transformed over millions of years into a purely aquatic creature.

ocean currents, the incredible superhighways of marine life. You’ll plunge into an alien
world where millions of sea creatures, from tiny seahorses to enormous sharks, spend their
entire lives adrift, circling the planet on currents that can carry them 100 miles a day. Some
of the animals are familiar, like the fragile, just-hatched loggerhead turtle youll follow as she
swims for her life to avoid the deadly dolphin fish. Others are almost too strange to believe,
like the Portuguese Man-o-War. This strange creature raises its own sail to catch the wind
trawls for fish with its venomous 50 foot-long tentacles.

To many people, viruses are simply agents for disease, but to Dr. Luis Villarreal, Director of
the Center for Virus Research at the University of California Irvine, they may possess far
greater power than originally thought. He guides us through evidence that viruses gave rise
to the first complex cells, played a role in the diversification of life, changed how our young
are born, drove evolution, and perhaps gave us emotions. One expert even suggests that an
ancient virus could have entered our genes and rewired us for monogamy. National
Geographic investigates a provocative new theory that suggests that all life - including
humans - is descended from viruses.
