Title: New to David Attenborough? Start here with his evolution of life
Product review: While David Attenborough had already been presenting some programs on zoology in the black & white series `Zoo quest', it is `Life on Earth' that is really the first of his big nature television series works. 13 episodes long the template is based on Clarke's `Civilisation' TV series and would later be adopted by Carl Sagan for `Cosmos'.Life on Earth is about the evolution of life starting with a barren earth and working through the increase of the complexity of life. Each episode ends with the group of organisms evolving into a new type of environment and adapting to produce new traits. The last episode is about humans and human environments.This is one of the finest nature programs ever made. I cannot underestimate its value or recommend it enough. After you have finished watching this, move onto his next series `The Living Planet'.
