Here is a documentary by Richard Dawkins in way of celebration of the 150th anniversary of the release of "The Origin of Species". This is part one of a three part series.

Thought some may find it interesting

How'd you like it? It's one of around half a dozen darwin documentaries I grabbed during Darwin Week but haven't had a chance to look at yet.

If you can stand looking at giant insects Attenborough's "Life in the Undergrowth" is fantastic. The parasitic wasps are just nasty.

It was a great series. 1st part is more on Charles Darwin himself, the second part concentrates on more of the evidence, and the third part is where the fun starts when he starts talking to the religiose and creationists. Obviously each part is about more than what I have described, but a rearly good documentary.

The show on Ardi was really good. I thought it was a new discovery but I guess they found it in 1994 and it took till now to do proper science on the findings.
