Evolution constant change and common threads

Sommaire
"How has the amazing diversity of plants and animals evolved? What can fossils, butterflies, and stickleback fish tell us about the deep common ancestry of all living forms? In four presentations, Dr. Sean B. Carroll and Dr. David M. Kingsley explore how key developmental genes, natural selection, and time fuel the evolutionary process. They also discuss how Charles Darwin's ideas about evolution ignited a revolution in biology that continues to this day"--Publisher's web site.
