The Theory of Evolution for Dummies

The Theory of Evolution by Darwin is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive
generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.

According to the Theory of Evolution by Darwin all life on Earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by shared DNA sequences. These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.

The theory of evolution explains so how the enormous variety of life could come into existence. How it is possible for primitive life forms to spawn the millions of different creatures, that exist today. 

Unfortunately, evolution is often misunderstood, because it's mechanisms seem counter intuitive. So this video aims to explain the mechanisms of evolution in a way, easily understandable: a short animation film. 

By using visualizations, infographics and appealing characters, the viewer is more likely to understand it the complex information. More than that, by presenting the information in an entertaining way, the information is more likely to sink in.
