Evolution: Darwin’s Dangerous Idea
Evolution was a 2001 eight-hour miniseries from PBS that sought to increase the public understanding of science by traveling the world examining evolutionary science. The project aimed to encapsulate the impact of the theory on society and culture; while the final episode entitled What About God? addressed the impact on religion. Below is part one of episode one, Darwin’s Dangerous Idea.
Interweaving key moments of drama in Darwin’s life with current research, “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea” explores why his theory of evolution might matter even more today than it did in his own time.
