English Comedian Harry Hill on Attenborough and Darwin's Finches

I am not usually a fan of Harry Hill, but this is worth watching

Hat-tip: Nick Loman

The publication in 1859 of Charles Darwin’s masterpiece The Origin of Species changed forever the way we think about life on Earth, but also the human condition. One hundred and fifty years later—and 200 years after his birth—Darwin's big idea has never been more relevant or more challenging. The Rough Guide to Evolution provides a readable introduction to evolution and its influence on almost all aspects of human thought.

Features include:

The life and works of Darwin.
The growth of evolutionary thought.
The evidence for evolution.
The evolutionary history of life on Earth and human evolution
How Darwin’s breakthrough is still denied by creationists.
The wider impact of evolutionary thinking on science and society—from physics and cosmology to Guinness ads and The Simpsons.

The Rough Guide to Evolution has been distributed to 6000 undergraduate students through the Great Read at Birmingham initiative.
