It cannot be denied that Charles Darwin’s contribution in the world of science and to humanity in general, has created a huge impact. The man behind the “Origins of Species”, a publication which was released over a century and a half ago and contained all of his ideas, which shaped the way many of us understand the beginnings of man and the Universe.

Controversial or not, and whether one agrees to his ideas or not, Charles Darwin was a very important person to the world.

In this documentary, Richard Dawkins creates the ultimate guide to learning about Charles Darwin and his theories. Presented in a three part series, this film is one of the most comprehensive presentations ever made of the subject.

Life, Darwin and Everything. In the first episode Richard Dawkins explains the basic mechanisms of natural selection, and tells the story of how Charles Darwin developed his theory. He teaches a year 11 science class about evolution, which many of the students are reluctant to accept. He then takes them to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset to search for fossils, hoping that the students can see some of the evidence for themselves.
