Evolution in 5 minutes

[Mallon]

This video has been making the rounds lately, so I thought I would post it here.

It looks to be a mishmash of the Walking With... series. It skips several tens of millions of years towards the end, with the sudden advent of the apes, but it does cover many of the major evolutionary innovations like:
- evolution of bone
- evolution of jaws
- evolution of limbs from fins
- evolution of amniotic egg
- evolution of synapsids
- evolution of therapsids

There are a few representatives that they chose that I probably wouldn't have placed on the lineage to humans (like dicynodonts), but I guess you can't expect too much from stock video. It is just a video clip, after all... with a cool soundtrack.

A very bad video for the education of evolution.

You may want to think this is an attack of evolution made by Creationist.

Like I said, it's entertainment, not educational. For anyone wanting to learn about evolution, I would direct them to a book.

Many many many people are educated by entertainment.
