Evolution by Natural Selection
The theory of evolution by natural selection is one of
the most significant scientific theories. It explains the
adaptations found in organisms, the diversity of features
and species, and the variation in genes that creates this
diversity. With fascinating examples like Darwin’s finches,
bacteria and the Tasmanian devil, this programme explores
the connection between genes, adaptations, survival,
natural selection, and evolution.

diets do not work and may be harmful to a teenager’s

and dieting and contrasts it with the billions of dollars spent
by the fad diet industry to hook you on one scheme or
another.
