Lifelines: Darwin and the Theory of Inheritance

In this program, Richard Dawkins, author of Climbing Mount Improbable, and other experts discuss three key scientists and their contributions to the understanding of evolutionary genetics: Charles Darwin and the theory of natural selection; Gregor Mendel and his breeding experiments; and Friedrich Meischer, who discovered DNA. The results of their work combine natural science, botany, and chemistry to form a comprehensive explanation of how species evolve, making the program a definitive educational tool. Produced by the Open University. (30 minutes)
