In this video you will learn how weird and wonderful animals are formed in the process of speciation and the formation of new species. Different selection pressures select for different characteristics. Over generations, the individuals with the beneficial traits will prosper, and others will die
For life to develop, it needs amino acids, sugars, bases and fats. In addition, RNA, an acid and a kind of chemical Morse code - this is how chains with building blocks are created. But it is only a protective lipid shell that turns the chains into a cell. Author: ZDF/Terrax/R. Schlosshan/F. Hädeck
When a plant or animal species that once lived stops existing entirely, we say that that species has become extinct. Why do certain species of plants and animals sometimes become extinct? According to the theory of evolution, individuals of the same species show a range of variations. Some individ
In the 18th century, giraffes were widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. In the meantime, their habitat has shrunk considerably. Until 2016, only one species with nine subspecies was known. DNA tests, however, prove that there are four different species. Author: ZDF/Terra X/R.Marel/C.Gerisch/SpiegelTV/

Over the last 500 million years, biodiversity on Earth has been constantly changing. Like a fever curve, this has been going uphill and some times steeply downhill. These downward outliers are described as the five great mass extinctions. Authors: 3sat/nano/scobel/Harald Zander/Claus Ast/Jochen Sch

The study of finches led to the development of one of the most important scientific theories of all time. In December 1831 a naturalist called Charles Darwin boarded the HMS Beagle, bound on a surveying voyage of South America. Whilst the ship and crew carried out coastline surveys, Darwin was fre
