Evolution is one of the most powerful and misunderstood ideas emerging from. Come see the highly acclaimed PBS (WGBH/NOVA) series on Evolution. It is an 8-hour series (shown in 4 two-hour blocks) covering all dimensions of this profound phenomenon: Darwin's life and revolutionary theory; the origins of diversity and the emergence of humans; extinctions--past and present; what world will we leave our descendants?; the evolutionary arms race and human health; the origins of sex; the emergence of the modern human mind and its consequences; the struggle between science and religion; and much more. Viewings are from 2:30-4:30 p.m., followed by a discussion from 4:30-5:30 p.m. The schedule for any given session is on Prof. Chisholm's web site.
