Living Fossils: Surviving through Time (Peter Ward)
- 1992 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- vhs
- (Upon Reflection series) Host Marcia Alvar speaks with Peter Ward, Professor of Geological Sciences, University of Washington; Curator, Burke Museum, and author of On Methusala's Trail. When Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of the Species, one of his most vexing evolutionary problems was something he called "living fossils." Dr. Ward discusses some of these animals that have not evolved over the centuries. There is no simple explanation for their survival. They discuss the new theories concerning mass extinctions of species and the aftermath of meteoric impact.
- Topics: (Biology, Geology)
