The theory of evolution states that individuals within a species show wide degrees of variation, and those individuals with characteristics best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This theory grew from studying the variations and similarities in living animals and
Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant in a rock. Many of the fossils discovered so far are the ancestors of organisms that are alive today. The study of fossils is called paleontology. Much of what we understand about evolution comes from studying fossils. When organisms die, t
How are fossils actually formed? And why are they formed in some places and not in others? Author: ZDF/Terra X/Spiegel TV/Jens Nicolai/Oliver Roetz/Hauke Ketelsen/Richard Sako Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX
Fossils discovered within rocks led scientists to begin to change their ideas on the creation of life on earth. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind FuseSchool. The
In this video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial," paleontologist Neil Shubin recounts a fossil discovery that added another compelling piece to the body of evidence that supports evolution. Shubin's find of a well-preserved skeleton, a "fishapod," represents a transitiona

Smart risk-decisions require good science. But not every risk conversation is about the evidence. Responsible innovation around emerging technologies -- and a whole host of other areas -- rely on conversations about risk that are inclusive of different perspectives, concerns and aspirations. The
This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW examines a developing theory that might explain a 250-million-year-old "murder mystery." While several possible causes have been considered for the mass extinction that occurred at the end of the Permian period, the scientists featured in the video thi
Explore the origins of modern humans. Fossil evidence from Middle East caves and elsewhere has revealed some competitive advantages modern humans, known as Homo sapiens, are believed to have held over the more archaic human species, Neanderthals. For example, during the time in which the two species
When people talk about "health risk", what do they mean? Here's one perspective on risk and risk assessment that's helpful for thinking about risk in ways that help understand and reduce it. Transcript: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/RiskBites
