Diatoms: The Evolution Of A New Species

Richard Dawkins explains how microscopic algae called Diatoms uniquely evolved in Yellowstone Lake.

During Richard Dawkins’ 2009 American tour, we visited Judy Diamond’s “Explore Evolution” exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln. This exhibit has now been replicated in six museums around the country. While visiting we filmed a collection of short unrehearsed and unscripted videos—just inspired by the “Explore Evolution” exhibit.
