SCIENCE!
 
You and I share recent common ancestors with chimpanzees.  We share more distant common ancestors with monkeys.  We share still more distance common ancestors with lions, crocodiles, octopi and palm trees.


Our task for the next few weeks to wrap our heads around this startling truth.


There will be many things in this video that you will scratch your head at in confusion.  Darwin?  Who is that guy?  What did he do?  What is natural selection? 


Hopefully, we will begin to understand why the 'secrets of evolution are Time and Death.'  


We will examine "the unbroken thread that stretches from those first cells, to us."


In these few weeks, we will work to understand how and why organisms change over time.


What are some questions you have surrounding this complex but fundamental issue?
