Evolution Videos
"Evolution," from iTunes U or at the
Cassiopeia Project website.
Evolution, one of a variety of programs on iTunes U, created as part of the Cassiopeia Project, tells the fascinating story of DNA and
the role it has played in the 3.5-billion-year evolution of life on earth. "If you want to know what the scientists know about evolution, then here it is. An enormous breadth of information -- assimilated, compressed, and congealed into an easily understood, visually irresistible presentation. "Facts of Evolution" has layer upon layer of evidence that makes common descent and macroevolution inescapable, obvious conclusions. "Mechanisms of Evolution" is a short easily understood tale of how evolution really works. And "Highway of Life" is a simple trace of man's emergence from archaea."
