Due to the many requests I've received, I am reposting the list of evolution-related videos I have gathered, including the original video I was looking for.
Evolution: Addressing some misconceptions and explaining some of the basics-The original video I was looking for and, in my opinion, the best and most appropriate for showing to most audiences because it both explains the basics, does it in a relatively entertaining style, and carefully identifies and debunks many misconceptions about evolution. (thanks to John Kupfer!) <http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1ae_1234824941> http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1ae_1234824941 Creature Comforts-a Claymation british television production in which people's perceptions and misconceptions about evolution and natural selection are discussed by animals. A good foil to the first video because it illustrates the level of understanding and discussion among the general public, and their misconceptions in a purely entertaining way. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SzwpmQd770> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SzwpmQd770 What is evolution-The basics of evolution in flash animation. A little long and dry, but good. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhHOjC4oxh8&feature=youtu.be> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhHOjC4oxh8&feature=youtu.be Baba Brinkman is a performance rap artist who did an album called 'The Evolution of Rap' (pay what you like and available for download ( <http://www.bababrinkman.com/music/> http://www.bababrinkman.com/music/). He made several outstanding music videos that make evolution interesting and touch on basics of evolution and natural selection, debunking anti-evolutionary ideas and featuring ideas on human evolutionary psychology. These aren't really teaching tools, but make people interested and excited. Very listenable, too! One more thing. Baba has a new Broadway show called Ingenious Nature and he will be going on tour soon, and is available for booking.
