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
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

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
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

Komodo dragons mainly live on the island of Komodo, after which they are named. But fossils show they were once much more widespread. Their ancestors originated in Australia. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/R. Rauert/Marc Trompetter/Maximilian Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more video
Stromatolites are calcareous deposits. The stones can be up to 3.5 billion years old. For a long time they were known only as fossils, until 1956, when a "living" colony of stromatolites was discovered off the west coast of Australia. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Viking Film/Iris Gesang/Andreas Kieling, Fra

There are various methods for measuring radioactivity in the air. With the help of trace analysis, even very low concentrations of radioactivity in the air can be detected. In the video, Jacqueline Bieringer explains how to detect radioactive substances in the air. Original: "Federal Office for Rad
For around 200 years, humans have been a driver of climate change - fueling earth-warming processes through fossil fuels. Increased average annual temperatures are already leading to an increase in weather extremes worldwide. Author: 3sat/nano, mirror TV, Christine Voges, R. Engelke+S. Karm+F. Guts
