Broadcast (2001) Fifty thousand years ago, something happened, the modern human mind emerged, triggering a creative, technological, and social explosion. What forces contributed to that breakthrough? Where might our power of mind ultimately lead us? Evolution determines who lives, who dies, and who passes traits on to the next generation. The process plays a critical role in our daily lives, yet it is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood concepts ever described. The Evolution series goals are to heighten public understanding of evolution and how it works, to dispel common misunderstandings about the process.

The Evolution project's eight-hour television miniseries travels the world to examine evolutionary science and the profound effect it has had on society and culture. From the genius and torment of Charles Darwin to the scientific revolution that spawned the tree of life, from the power of sex to drive evolutionary change to the importance of mass extinctions in the birth of new species, the Evolution series brings this fascinating process to life. The series also explores the emergence of consciousness, the origin and success of humans, and the perceived conflict between science and religion in understanding life on Earth.

i love when there are no dislikes or anti-evolution Christians.

[borissman]

@ganjahyute1 yea, that is really childish. especially if this video is supported by proof.. you can't just dislike it because it contradicts something that you did not study anyway.

[IBezimeniI]

The scientist making a spear throwing distance comparison as a sign of advancement is gravely mistaken. Neanderthals had more muscle and were much stronger so they could surely throw their spears further then 24m. Also their spears where larger which meant they hit harder and with more precision and were probably good at hunting in small packs while modern humans had to hunt in large groups. This is the reason why modern humans prevailed, not because of intellect but because of their numbers.

@icappel sorry. i was just speaking for the ones who dislikes this video.

[icappel]

@borissman Thank you for acknowledging the fact that not all Christians are anti-evolution.
