NATURAL SELECTION IN THE INFORMATION AGE

Synopsis:  This thought-provoking series takes a contemporary look at Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection. First published in 1859, Natural Selection has helped define biology for more than a century. Yet, today it is being re-examined in the light of spectacular discoveries in biochemistry and genetics. After probing the complexity of the living cell and the wealth of information stored within the DNA molecule, many scientists are asking an important question. Is Natural Selection an adequate explanation for the origin and diversity of life on Earth?

Ritual Of The Spring Tide

Synopsis:  RITUAL OF THE SPRING TIDE documents the ancient spawning migration of horseshoe crabs to the Delaware Bay.  The spring arrival of these living fossils marks the appearance of millions of migratory shorebirds, many of which have flown non-stop from the southern-most reaches of South America.  People also eagerly anticipate the crabs arrival in an attempt to unlock new life saving biomedical discoveries from the unique physiology of this primitive organism.  Thus, a ritual that has persisted for eons sets the stage for this story about a remarkable ancient organism and its modern beneficiaries.
