Published 150 years ago, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species changed everything--science, religion, and even humanity's image of itself. Join Professor Richard Dawkins as he explains exactly how Darwin developed his revolutionary theory of evolution and why it's still relevant today. How do species evolve? What does "natural selection" mean in biology, politics, sociology, and philosophy? With passionate certainty, Dawkins provides answers, positing evolution as a matter of fact, not faith. In addition to interviewing scientific experts such as geneticist Craig Venter and paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey, Dawkins speaks with Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, and other religious leaders about the existence of a Creator. Provocative, informative, and irresistibly watchable, this award-winning documentary offers lively new insights on an idea that still meets stubborn resistance.

Dr. Donald Johanson (the man who discovered Lucy) and Dr. Richard Leakey are giants in their field of Paleoanthropology. They already disagree on the meaning of Lee Berger's amazing discovery.
