David Attenborough asks three key questions: how and why did Darwin come up with his theory of evolution? Why do we think he was right? And why is it more important now than ever before?

Andrew Marr explores how Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has taken on a life of its own far beyond the world of science

In the first episode of the three-part series, Andrew Marr explores how Darwin\'s theory of evolution by natural selection has taken on a life of its own far beyond the world of science.

Andrew Marr discovers something surprising about his own evolutionary history as this epic series continues with an exploration of Darwin\'s impact on politics and society.

In the final episode of this ground-breaking series about Charles Darwin\'s legacy, Andrew Marr discovers how Darwin\'s ideas are helping us to save ourselves and all life on earth from extinction.

Documentary telling the little-known story of how Darwin came to write his great masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, a book which explains the wonderful variety of the natural world as emerging out of death and the struggle of life.

There are some who believe that Darwin\'s theory of evolution has weakened religion, fuelled in part by Richard Dawkins\' publishing phenomenon The God Delusion. Conor Cunningham argues that nothing could be further from the truth.

This new documentary tells the fascinating inside story of an archaeological investigation that has discovered the remains of an entirely new species of human ancestor, Homo naledi.The discovery grabbed headlines worldwide and is already re-writing the story of our origins and could transform the understanding of how modern humans evolved from ape-like creatures.

Dr Alice Roberts asks one of the great questions about our species: are we still evolving? Alice follows a trail of clues from ancient human bones, to studies of remarkable people living in the most inhospitable parts of the planet, to the frontiers of genetic research to discover if we are still evolving - and where we might be heading.

A visit to arguably the most famous archipelago on Earth, the Galapagos. It's home to a myriad of bizarre and unique creatures, endemic to these islands - but how did they get here and what is the key to these extraordinary islands that allows them to thrive? The programme reveals that this key holds not just the secret to life here, but also to how Darwin was able to leave with the ideas that would revolutionise biology.

Documentary which tells the story of evolution theory since Darwin postulated it in 1859 in 'On the Origin of Species'.
