EVOLUTION 4-DISC SET
Evolution presents a revolutionary and comprehensive perspective on the remarkable influence of the evolutionary process on our comprehension of the surrounding world. Starting with Darwin's groundbreaking theory, this seven-part series delves into various aspects of evolution, including the changes that led to the tree of life, the significance of reproduction, how evolution continues to shape our lives daily, and the relationship between science and religion. The series includes:
Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Blending pivotal moments from Darwin's life with contemporary research, this segment examines the ongoing relevance of his theory of evolution in today's context.
Great Transformations: Focusing on significant evolutionary milestones such as the development of the four-limbed body plan and the transition of animal life from water to land, this segment highlights the key changes that have contributed to the planet's incredible biodiversity.
Extinction!: This segment addresses the fascinating aspect of extinction, exploring the forces at play and our role in the broader narrative of life's history on Earth.
The Evolutionary Arms Race: Dive into the dynamics of survival, highlighting the interplay between competition and cooperation in the natural world, as well as our ongoing interactions with microorganisms.
Why Sex?: Explore the diverse expressions of sexuality and its profound importance from an evolutionary perspective, revealing its essential role in the continuation of life.
The Mind’s Big Bang: Investigate the transformative developments that occurred between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, which catalyzed a surge in human creativity, technology, and societal structure.
What About God?: Discover the unique human desire to understand our existence and the balance found between spirituality and scientific inquiry.
This extensive eight-hour series, originally broadcast on PBS, artfully narrates the expansive journey of evolution. It begins with a dramatization of Charles Darwin's challenges in a captivating two-hour film titled Darwin's Dangerous Idea. The production showcases reenactments of Darwin and his contemporaries alongside interviews with prominent experts such as Stephen Jay Gould. Additional episodes cover various evolution-related topics, including significant species transformations, the intellectual growth of humans, and the unique responses to evolutionary theory. Engaging discussions feature interviews with scholars that are complemented by stunning visuals, including impressive computer-generated imagery that illustrates key evolutionary changes, such as whales transitioning from land to ocean life. Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, this series offers an intellectually stimulating and entertaining exploration of a captivating subject.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
