The oxygen revolution and endosymbiosis:
When the earth's atmosphere first existed, it was anaerobic. This non-oxygenated atmosphere soon changed as cyanobacteria released large amounts of oxygen as a result of photosynthesis. This new atmosphere was toxic to many organisms, causing them to die. However some forms of free-living bacteria were able to process oxygen. These organisms moved into others, which were unable to process oxygen, in a process called endosymbiosis. The decedents of the free-living bacteria are today's mitochondria, which can be proven by the fact that mitochondria keep their own DNA. The presence of mitochondria allows many organisms to perform aerobic respiration in today's oxygenated world.

You may consider changing the title. This is a widely held yet incorrect description of Natural Selection. The excellent movie on Endosybiosis showed it wasn't STRENGTH that carried the day. It was cooperation which does challenge another myth of evolution: Evo is all about kill or be killed...but that's another story. NICE VID!
