"Evolution"
now available for licensing
The WGBH Media Library is pleased
to announce that footage from the
PBS series, EVOLUTION, is now available
for licensing.
EVOLUTION, which premiered on PBS
September 24 - 27, 2001, travels around
the world to examine evolutionary
science and the profound effect it
has had on society and culture. From
the genius and torment of Charles
Darwin to the vast changes that spawned
the tree of life, from the role of
mass extinctions in the survival of
species to the power of sex to drive
evolutionary change, EVOLUTION is
fascinating and far-reaching in scope.
The collection consists of over 250
hours of 16mm-originated, 16:9 footage
stored on digital betacam cassettes.
Highlights include:
Aerials and beauty shots of the Andes
Mountains, the rain forests of Ecuador,
the valleys of Thailand, the grassy
plains of Uganda, and the Bavarian
countryside.
Recent time-lapse and specialty footage
of the sun, moon and clouds.
Rare and exotic animal species - ranging
from bonobos and red-footed boobies,
to peacocks, lemurs and hummingbirds.
New animations explaining DNA, HIV,
the human brain, asteroid impacts
and the evolution of hominids.
Realistic recreations of our hunter/gatherer
ancestors.
EVOLUTION is a co-production of the
WGBH/NOVA Science Unit and Clear Blue
Sky Productions.
