Evolution is one of the the most powerful ideas emerging from science, and one of the most misunderstood. Come see the highly acclaimed PBS (WGBH/NOVA) series on evolution, which first aired in October 2001. It is an 8 hour series (to be shown in 4, 2hr blocks, 1hr discussion after viewing) 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 to 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.
