Broadcast (2008) They are one of evolution's most useful and prevalent inventions. Ninety five percent of living species are equipped with eyes and they exist in many different forms. Learn how the ancestors of jellyfish may have been the first to evolve light-sensitive cells. Discover how dinosaur's evolved eyes that helped them become successful hunters. Finally, learn how primates evolved unique adaptations to their eyes that allowed them to better exploit their new habitat, and how the ability to see colours helped them find food.

It's a tough, violent, and lethal world out there, and it's been that way since the dawn of time. Roughly 99 percent of all species have become extinct. What enabled that other one percent to survive the cutthroat competition? Their ability to EVOLVE. Each episode attempts to explain the evolutionary origins of a particular trait of living creatures: for example, Tyrannosaurus Rex's 13 inch teeth, the gecko's "Velcro like" toe pads, and the bald eagle's "telescopic" vision capable of spotting a hare a mile away. The series premiere, Eyes, was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Science, Technology and Nature Programming.

This has the deepest meaning 4 me: The real story of our existence. With knowledge of common ancestry, I can now c what I've been searching 4 since early childhood. Zoology has always been a massive pile of disconnected facts in the light of creationism. Now I can start 2 get at the source of who/what I am on the deepest, personal level. That millions of children now have this precious knowledge in front of them, but r blinded by religious lies angers me so much I want 2 cry sometimes.

WTF? History Channel? I turn on the History channel, I expect to see Confederate Soldiers, Space Aliens, Hitler, or Confederate Space Aliens masquerading as Hitler.

@xjoe1988x ok

[TheOmegadusk]

@leffehoegaarden They say that in 4:06. The statement at 16:25 is just that the ancestoral pathways are different. I did the same double take as you did- simple mistake :)

@727Phoenix it's frustrating, absolutely.

[MrWaddefak]

these are some good quality videos. thanks for uploading!

Science is wonderful and I have the utmost respect for researchers who give their all to bring this enlightening information to the vastly ignorant mass known as creationists.
