4 Billion Years of Evolution in 40 Seconds

This short clip is from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. I love watching this and seeing how Carl Sagan gracefully patches together the birth of life on this planet from creation until now. It’s amazing!
If you haven’t seen the show, it’s a 13 episode series that was first aired in 1980, was once the most viewed television series in US history, and has been viewed by over 500 million people worldwide. Luckily, Hulu and Netflix are both currently playing the entire series and I highly recommend it.
