What Was Life Like During The Devonian Period?

The Devonian Period occurred from 419.2 million to 358.9 million years ago, when life transitioned from water to land, and the first forests began to rise. The first tetrapods — land-living vertebrates — appeared during the Devonian, as did the first terrestrial arthropods, including wingless insects and the earliest arachnids.
