NOVA | What Darwin Never Knew

What Darwin Never Knew reveals answers to riddles that Darwin couldnt explain. Breakthroughs in a brand-new science—nicknamed evo devo—are linking the enigmas of evolution to another of natures great mysteries, the development of an embryo. NOVA takes viewers on a journey from the Galapagos Islands to the Arctic, and to the research labs of today. Scientists are finally beginning to crack natures biggest secrets at the genetic level. The results are confirming the brilliance of Darwins insights while exposing clues to lifes breathtaking diversity in ways the great naturalist could scarcely have imagined.

@Tyrotvxxx u should see my country creationists says if evolution is true how the creatures in hell get evolved? blue monitor...........

This is one of the best science shows ever made. I love all the new genetic knowledge we have. After watching this, it seems to me that we could possibly turn birds into dinosaurs, since they evolved from dinosaurs and must still retain many or possibly ALL of the prehistoric genes that were in dinosaurs. I would also love to see superhumans be engineered. I totally condemn religion. All religions are laughable and awfully STUPID!!!

PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING RELIGION AFTER THIS..... WTF?¿?.... YOU'Z SOME IGNORANT BASTARDS!!!*

@Walter5734 key word is 'my'. he is your saviour not mine. If you like apples eat appels, if you like oranges eat oranges, just don't compare them.

@granite230 @granite230 An organism doesn't change at will. They are what they are (genetically) and they will stay that the rest of their lives. But if an organism has a beneficial mutation in a gene, that gene will naturally spread trough the gene pool (breeding population). After a long time the mutated gene becomes the norm, and the species is a bit better adapted to its environment.

Basically what drives evolution is natural variation and the non-random reproduction success of organisms.
