《生命的进化》这个系列首播于1979年,它开始了电视节目的一个新时代。David Attenborough和他的了不起的团队把一些相当不寻常的画面通过电视展示给世人看,它带领我们去关注世界上多样性的生物以及它们的演化。

这些对观众产生了持久的影响。这个系列是当时the Natural History Unit制作的最大的系列节目,使用的胶带超过100万英尺,拍摄的场景有100多个。

The story of life, from the first primitive cells to the plants and animals that now live around us. David Attenborough goes on a world journey looking at the incredible variety of living things and fossils which throw light on the ancestry of life.

The story of life, from the first primitive cells to the plants and animals that now live around us. David Attenborough looks at what happened when, over 400 million years ago, tiny plants began to invade the land, followed by the first animals - the ancestors of scorpions, millipedes and insects.

The story of life from the first primitive cells to the plants and animals that now live around us. David Attenborough looks at the role of a few of the millions of insect species, some of which have developed extremely close relationships with plants. Insects pollinate flowers and in some cases neither flower nor insect can survive without the other.

The story of life from the first primitive cells to the plants and animals that live around us. David Attenborough looks at some of the 30,000 species of fish which exist in populations of billions. They can fly, produce electricity, survive in hot soda lakes or under the Antarctic ice. Some, like the salmon, even migrate across oceans and up waterfalls.

Some 350 million years ago, evolution reached one of its most crucial stages when fish crawled from water onto the land and became amphibians. Today, newts, salamanders, toads and frogs still survive in great quantities, and there is even one species of frog where the male gives birth from its mouth!

David Attenborough looks at the history of reptiles, the first back-boned creatures to solve the problems of living high and dry on the land. Their waterproofed skin and sealed eggs enabled the mighty reptiles to rule the world.

The story of life, from the first primitive cells to the plants and animals that now live around us. David Attenborough examines the uses and advantages of birds’ unique possession - the feather. Feathers are insulators; they provide the surface of the most perfect aerofoils known - bird’s wings; and they play a central role in courtship.

David Attenborough looks at the evolution of mammals from reptiles 200 million years ago. This remarkable transition involved the development of mechanisms for regulating body temperature, for allowing the young to develop in the womb and for suckling newborns. Attenborough also explores the South American origins of marsupials and their colonisation of Australia.

David Attenborough looks at some of the huge variety of mammals. Bats number over a thousand species, many hunt insects, some sip nectar, drink blood, and even catch fish. Contrast those which use sonar with the great whales that sing, the star-nosed mole and the giant anteater, and the potential variations become dramatically clear.

David Attenborough explores the eternal duel between the hunters and the hunted - one of the driving forces of evolution. As the hunters develop speed and cunning, the prey becomes increasingly fast and wary in order to stay alive. Nowhere is this seen better than on the plains of East Africa.

David Attenborough’s now legendary encounter with young gorillas is featured in this episode as he looks at the history of primates, whose ancestors sought their fortune in the treetops. There they developed binocular vision for accurately judging distances, and the ability to grasp trees with a firm grip. The group includes dazzling gymnasts, deafening choristers and highly cultured monkeys.

David Attenborough looks for crucial clues that help to explain how and why we have come to dominate life on Earth. He traces back the African origins of humans to nearly three million years ago, and along the way he goes into caves in Southern France where stone-age people created imaginative paintings of ice-age animals. He also travels to Papua New Guinea to find some hunter- gatherers who have never before set eyes on white people.
