The Science of Man: Series 4: Heredity and Evolution: The Formation of Species

BBC One
on BBC One London

A course in human biology.

Although Darwin's great book The Origin of Species is the foundation of our ideas on evolution, he did not show how new species originate. The programme introduces modern ideas on the formation of new species and shows how these point the way to the fundamental concept of adaptive radiation.
Professor A. J. Cain, University of Manchester
