What Darwin Never Knew reveals answers to riddles that Darwin could not explain. NOVA takes viewers on a journey from the Galapagos Islands to the Arctic, and to the research labs of today. Scientists are finally beginning to crack nature's biggest secrets at the genetic level. The results are confirming the brilliance of Darwins insights while exposing clues to lifes breathtaking diversity in ways the great naturalist could scarcely have imagined.

6. Just hoping some people have been watching the NEW series on

the evolution of apes to man, now in the second of three weeks on NOVA.


VERY interesting series, with lots of new discoveries since 2000.

Real anthropological and other neat science.

8. "Evolution of apes to man?" Shirley, you must be joking.

Some Democrats may have evolved from apes, but I assure you, Republicans have not evolved at all.
