NMPBS presents a special NOVA: Evolution screening event

Trace the epic journey of animal life, from a single cell to the amazing variety alive today.

Ponder this: All the incredible diversity of animal life on Earth sprang from a single organism. Every animal, no matter how weird, is related to every other. And behind each species is an incredible story of the millions of generations that gave rise to them. In this landmark five-part series — featuring passionate scientists, gorgeous photography, and stunning animations of long-lost ancestors — discover how every animal we know and love today sprang from creatures that looked nothing like them. Full of surprising twists and turns over billions of years, each chapter in this epic tale reveals how animal life became so diverse and resilient through the awesome power of evolution. 

At the event, clips from all five episodes will be shown, followed by a compelling panel featuring local scientists discussing the frontiers of evolutionary science.
