National Geographic - Faszination Tierwelt

How has the breathtaking diversity of at least 13 million animal and plant species developed? What role do genetic mutations play? How does natural selection work? Faszination Tierwelt combines unique footage of animals in the wild with state-of-the-art computer animations. The result is a new overall picture of the mechanisms that have determined the evolution of life for millions of years.

In the second part of the series, National Geographic shows how the principle of intelligence has become more and more differentiated over time. Many beings communicated with each other far more intensively than humans previously assumed. The evolutionary struggle for survival has been going on for more than four billion years. Entire groups of animals such as the dinosaurs have disappeared from the face of the earth today. Why did they become extinct? How were some species able to survive the millions of years almost unchanged?
