Long before the age of dinosaurs, a many-legged creature made one of life's most consequential journeys — from the ancient seas onto the bare and waiting land. Through millions of years of incremental change, the ancestors of modern centipedes rewired their bodies, their breath, and their movement to become dominant predators in a world they had never inhabited. Fossil stone and living DNA now speak together, offering scientists a window not merely into one creature's transformation, but into the deeper logic by which all life claims new ground.
