Evolution in action?

If you are a hopeless conventionalist, this might be the show for you. A good introduction to Neo-Darwinism's view of mutations and natural selection, with all the usual suspects. Galapagos finches, fruit flies, lactose intolerant humans, cancer research, etc. New stuff: macaques at Sulawesi.

If you are of a more Fortean bent, you will at least love the first part of the documentary, featuring authentic photos of Elephant Man (Joseph Merrick) and a number of bizarre, two-headed reptiles, including a snake affectionately baptized "Golden Girls". Its present owner bought it (or them?) for 20,000 dollars! We also get to visit the small town of Olney in Illinois, famous for its population of albino squirrels. The squirrels are protected by the local police, and even have their own road crossing. Evolution in action?

Three-and-a-half stars for this educational, high school level material.
