Evolution—Why Bother?

Library Purchases - Includes Public Performance Rights and Site License

Evolution—Why Bother? is an excellent, non-technical exploration of evolution and natural selection in our daily lives. This 27-minute, broadcast quality program contains eight self-contained chapters optimized for both individual viewing and classroom use. Intriguing photography, special effects, and upbeat pacing will captivate viewers. Prominent Biologists and science educators - including Patty Harmon, David Mindell, Carl Bergstrom, Paul Gepts, Lynn Caporale, Kenneth Miller, Jerry Waldvogel, and Joel Cracraft - explain how an understanding of evolution is being used today to guide our search for new medicines, help solve crimes, develop vaccines, combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, deal with invasive species, grow our food, provide a rational basis for managing resources, protect endangered species, and identify emerging diseases. This program explores the practical reasons why evolution is important in our daily lives - why we should bother with evolution.
