Introduced by Peter Scott.

The Galapagos Islands contain many strange creatures which, because of the way they have been cut off from the mainland and other animals, have developed in a very striking manner.
Charles Darwin studied them and a hundred years ago wrote his famous book The Origin of Species which changed people's ideas about the animal kingdom and about man himself.
Peter Scott shows pictures of the animals and discusses them with Sir Julian Huxley.
