What it’s about. Documentary which tells the story of evolution theory since Darwin postulated it in 1859 in 'On the Origin of Species'.

They criticised it for being short on evidence and long on assertion and Darwin, being the honest scientist that he was, agreed with them. He knew that his theory was riddled with 'difficulties', but he entrusted future generations to complete his work and prove the essential truth of his vision, which is what scientists have been doing for the past 150 years.
