Bill Nye the Science Guy: Evolution

With more than 28 Emmys and a slew of other prestigious awards, Disney's resident way-cool scientist knows how to get kids fired up about science. Whether you're learning about earth science or engaging in a complex discussion about genetics, Bill Nye's enthusiasm for all things science is contagious. In Evolution, Bill Nye compares primordial to present when he dabbles with Darwin and looks at his genes in this evolutionary program.

The Science Guy takes on evolution in this episode of his award-winning series. Although many life forms have the same basic underlying characteristics, they don't look anything alike, because evolution has been at work for a long time. Bill Nye gets into genetic information, and explains how individual looks come from ancestors. Difficult science concepts undergo the Nye transformation, and emerge as coherent, easy-to-comprehend ideas, illustrated by off-the-wall antics, graphics, and many jokes.
