Astronomy, Part 1: The Standard Deviants (2007)

A documentary series from Channel 4, hosted by professor Richard Dawkins, well-known darwinist. The series mixes segments on the life and discoveries of Charles Darwin, the theory of natural selection and evolution, and Dawkins' attempts at convincing a group of school children that evolution explains the world around us better than any religion.

¿Cómo se convirtió tu cuerpo en la máquina complicada, peculiar y sorprendente que es hoy? El anatomista Neil Shubin descubre las respuestas en esta serie científica de 3 partes que analiza la evolución humana. Usando fósiles, embriones y genes, revela cómo nuestros cuerpos son el legado de peces, reptiles y primates antiguos: los antepasados ​​que nunca supo que estaban en su árbol genealógico.

An African narrator tells the story of earth history, the birth of the universe and evolution of life. Beautiful imagery makes this movie documentary complete.

La gran visión de Darwin, que la vida ha evolucionado durante millones de años por selección natural, ha sido la piedra angular de todas las series de historia natural de David Attenborough. En este documental, nos lleva a un viaje profundamente personal que refleja su propia vida y la forma en que llegó a entender la teoría de Darwin.

Después de que un satélite artificial se estrelle en una remota aldea de Nuevo Méjico, el equipo encargado de recuperarlo descubre que casi todos los habitantes del lugar han perecido víctimas de una horrible muerte, con la misteriosa excepción de un niño y un viejo. Los superviventes son trasladados a un laboratorio de avanzadísima tecnología situado a una profundidad de cinco pisos bajo tierra, donde los perplejos científicos tratan de determinar la naturaleza del mortífero microbio antes de que cause estragos en todo el mundo.

Darwin desató una nueva visión de la naturaleza y la evolución de las especies, que hizo añicos la visión tradicional del mundo armonioso creado por Dios. Descubre este desafío contra las creencias tradicionales, que fue una lucha personal de Darwin.

Earth teems with a staggering variety of animals, including 9,000 kinds of birds, 28,000 types of fish, and more than 350,000 species of beetles. What explains this explosion of living creatures—1.4 million different species discovered so far, with perhaps another 50 million to go? The source of life's endless forms was a profound mystery until Charles Darwin brought forth his revolutionary idea of natural selection. But Darwin's radical insights raised as many questions as they answered. What actually drives evolution and turns one species into another? To what degree do different animals rely on the same genetic toolkit? And how did we evolve?

En una pequeña ciudad del estado de Tennessee se juzga a un profesor por enseñar a sus alumnos la teoría de la evolución de las especies. El darwinismo se enfrenta a una burda y fundamentalista teoría del creacionismo en una explosiva batalla judicial entre el abogado defensor Henry Drummond (Tracy) y el líder ultraconservador Matthew Harrison Brady (March). Basada en hechos reales.

Documental existencialista sobre la naturaleza, la vida, el espacio y el universo.

La mayor revolución tecnológica del siglo XXI no es digital, es biológica. Un avance llamado CRISPR nos brinda un control sin precedentes sobre los componentes básicos de la vida. Abre la puerta a curar enfermedades, remodelar la biosfera y diseñar a nuestros propios hijos. Este documental es una exploración provocativa de las implicaciones de largo alcance de CRISPR, a través de los ojos de los científicos que lo descubrieron, las familias a las que afecta y los ingenieros genéticos que están probando sus límites.

Nos acercamos al funcionamiento del cuerpo humano de una manera como nunca se había visto antes, la obra definitiva para explicar cómo el hombre ha llegado a la cúspide de la pirámide evolutiva. Gracias a imágenes generadas por ordenador, cada episodio nos da un punto de visto único y nos lleva a un asombroso viaje evolutivo por las diferentes partes de nuestra anatomía.\n\nExtraordinarias imágenes científicas del cuerpo, que raramente han salido del laboratorio, también nos ayudan a comprender cómo funcionamos en detalle.

In 1858 Charles Darwin struggles to publish one of the most controversial scientific theories ever conceived, while he and his wife Emma confront family tragedy.

Featuring Michael Pollan and based on his best-selling book, this special takes viewers on an exploration of the human relationship with the plant world -- seen from the plants' point of view. Narrated by Frances McDormand, the program shows how four familiar species -- the apple, the tulip, marijuana and the potato -- evolved to satisfy our yearnings for sweetness, beauty, intoxication.

David Attenborough takes us on a guided tour through the secret world of plants, to see things no unaided eye could witness. Each episode in this six-part series focuses on one of the critical stages through which every plant must pass if it is to survive:- travelling, growing, and flowering; struggling with one another; creating alliances with other organisms both plant and animal; and evolving complex ways of surviving in the earth's most ferociously hostile environments.

Are the medicines and every day products we use putting us at risk RESISTANCE sheds light on the global crisis of antibiotic resistance and uncovers how our extensive use of bacteria-killing antibiotics has created a new kind of disease, resistant to the medicines created to destroy it.

Professor Richard Fortey delves into the fascinating and normally-hidden kingdom of fungi. From their spectacular birth, through their secretive underground life to their final explosive death, Richard reveals a remarkable world that few of us understand or even realise exists - yet all life on Earth depends on it.

Over three very personal films, Sir David Attenborough looks back at the unparalleled changes in natural history that he has witnessed during his 60-year career.

Unlocking the Mystery of Life represents a unique programming opportunity for local stations. Its broadcast release coincides with the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history-James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery that the DNA molecule carries hereditary information in the form of a code that many scientists have likened to computer software or a written language. This discovery (announced on April 25,1953) sparked a scientific revolution. But it also left a fundamental question unanswered. Where did the information in DNA come from? How did the software in the cell arise? Unlocking the Mystery of Life explores these questions through the stories of a growing number of scientists who no longer believe that natural selection or chemistry, alone, can explain life's origin. Instead, they think that the microscopic world of the cell provides evidence of purpose and design in nature.

The Creeping Garden is an independently-produced feature-length documentary, directed by Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp and with an original soundtrack by Jim O’Rourke, depicting the world of myxomycetes, or plasmodial slime moulds, and the diverse array of research currently being conducted around them. The film boasts stunning original macroscopic time-lapse footage of these overlooked organisms, filmed within its natural habitat and in a controlled laboratory setting, and features interviews with artists, researchers and scientists involved in the fields of the visual arts, music, mycology, computing and robotics to explore ideas of biological-inspired design, emergence theory, unconventional computing and scientific modelling.
