Innovations and Novelty: VIDEO/DVD, This program presents the three basic divisions of living things—eubacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes—and their particular evolutionary processes. The slow evolutionary pace of the horseshoe crab is compared to the relatively quick pace of animals such as the dog. A fascinating look at several evolutionary processes in action includes fish that evolved into amphibians, and then into birds and mammals. Later we see how some mammals returned to the sea (whales). Intelligence is discussed as the greatest evolutionary innovation in animals.
