Discover the principles of evolution through animations, movies and simulations

The year 2009 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" and the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth.

This web site was created to celebrate these events and provide the general public, students and teachers with entertaining explorations of life’s origin and evolution.

A general audience will find here an entertaining exploration (videos and animations) and teachers a rich source of documents (films, simulations and teaching materials) to plan innovative and exciting lessons.

All documents are free, and the associated licence (see terms of use) simplifies their use for educational purposes.

You will find a description of the web site on the "user guide" page .
