Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated)Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9781578077267 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC ISBN: 1578077265 Label: Wgbh Boston Languages: Manufacturer: Wgbh Boston Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Wgbh Boston Release Date: October 16, 2001 Running Time: 60 minutes Studio: Wgbh Boston Theatrical Release Date: 2001 Editorial Review: Description: Survival of the fittest. Raw competition? Or, a level of cooperation indispensable to life? Evolution tells us that both are important. We explore our own spiraling arms race with microorganisms, the only entities that can pose a threat to our existence. We follow the struggles of medical detectives uncovering the roots of epidemics and trace the alarming spread of resistance among pathogens that cause disease, like the new virulent tuberculosis--nicknamed "Ebola with wings." Interactions between species are among the most powerful evolutionary forces on earth, and understanding them may be key to our own survival. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great for Biology Classes!By tracking TB and a few other examples this video shows the process of evolution as an interactive exchange between organisms as they change in relationship to each other. It is an excellent video - along with others I have seen in this series - for use in biology classes from high school through basic college courses. This one can be used in discussions on disease or evolution. Very interesting, fast paced and Great science! |
