本部气氛诡异、造型奇特、场景逼真的三维动画短片，讲述在人类灭亡之后，世界由人身体器官独立构成的变异生物体所掌控。此时的大地，一片山崩地裂后的满目疮痍。黑暗和恐怖的气氛，久久笼罩在天空上方，不见天日。废墟的间隙中，一个形如人类手指的变异六足怪，在瓦砾废石中横冲直撞，随后它看见了“眼球”，相继发现了“耳朵”。数以万计的“手指”、“眼球”和“耳朵”，正在努力搭建一座通天塔以容纳它们的母体。狰狞的母体此刻正深埋废墟之下。太阳初升，阳光终于洒进这座恐怖之城。然而斗转星移，阳光很快退去，它们苦心搭建着的通天塔，却因为一个小小的失误而功亏一篑。瞬间倒塌瓦解的不仅是高耸的通天塔，还有肢解的器官生物们也长埋地下。世界仿佛又回到了原点，一如既往的黑暗阴森。然而此时，母体的眼睛正微微睁开…… 　　本片改编自著名的《巴比伦通天塔》，由SeriousFilm公司于2010年制作完成。

Documentary telling the little-known story of how Darwin came to write his great masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, a book which explains the wonderful variety of the natural world as emerging out of death and the struggle of life. 　　In the twenty years he took to develop a brilliant idea into a revolutionary book, Darwin went through a personal struggle every bit as turbulent as that of the natural world he observed. Fortunately, he left us an extraordinary record of his brilliant insights, observations of nature, and touching expressions of love and affection for those around him. He also wrote frank accounts of family tragedies, physical illnesses and moments of self-doubt, as he laboured towards publication of the book that would change the way we see the world. 　　The story is told with the benefit of Darwin's secret notes and correspondence, enhanced by natural history filming, powerful imagery from the time and contributions from leading contemporary biographers and scientists.

这个故事审视探讨了欧洲对非洲的幕后枪支交易——俄罗斯飞行员把枪支送往非洲，之后把飞机装满鱼飞回欧洲。 　　这种贸易的危害和后果之一就是武器不断流入非洲大陆所引起的暴力和战争。 　　如果这个世界的规则是像达尔文所说的“适者生存”，那赞助枪支贸易的资本家就脚踏着非洲人的利益站到了进化阶梯的高端。达尔文主义的鲜明例子。 　　就像维多利亚湖鲈鱼可预见的灭绝和维多利亚湖自身的死亡一样，非洲人正处于极度的危险之中，尽管他们在他们唯一懂得的途径中谋求生存。 　　The larger scope of the story explores the gun trade to Africa that takes place under the covers -- Russian pilots fly guns into Africa, then fly fish back out to Europe. The hazards and consequences of this trade are explored, including the pan-African violence propagated by constant flow of weapons into the continent. If it is a "survival of the fittest" world, as Darwin concluded, then the capitalist interests that fund the gun runners are climbing the evolutionary ladder on the backs of the Africans in this stark Darwinian example. Much like the foreseeable extinction of the Lake Victoria perch, and death of Lake Victoria itself, the Africans are in grave jeopardy, even as they survive in the only ways they know how.

The Genius of Charles Darwin is a three-part television documentary, written and presented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. 　　In the first episode Richard Dawkins explains the basic mechanisms of natural selection, and tells the story of how Charles Darwin developed his theory. He teaches a year 11 science class about evolution, which many of the students are reluctant to accept. He then takes them to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset to search for fossils, hoping that the students can see some of the evidence for themselves. Dawkins also visits Nairobi, where he interviews a prostitute who seems to have a genetic immunity to HIV, and talks to microbiologist Larry Gelmon. He goes on to predict that genetic immunity is a trait that will become more prevalent in the community over time. 　　In the second episode Richard Dawkins deals with some of the philosophical and social ramifications of the theory of evolution. Dawkins starts out in Kenya, speaking with palaeontologist Richard Leakey. He then visits Christ is the Answer Ministries, Kenya’s largest Pentecostal church, to interview Bishop Bonifes Adoyo. Adoyo has led the movement to press the National Museums of Kenya to sideline its collection of hominid bones pointing to man’s evolution from ape to human. The collection includes the Turkana Boy discovered by Kamoya Kimeu, a member of a team led by Richard Leakey in 1984. 　　Dawkins discusses social Darwinism and eugenics, explaining how these are not versions of natural selection, and that “Darwin has been wrongly tainted”. He then meets with evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker to discuss how morals can be compatible with natural selection. He goes on to explaining sexual selection, with peafowls as an example. To find out whether sexual selection plays a role for altruism and kindness among humans, he visits women who are looking for sperm donors, as well as a sperm bank manager. Dawkins also explains kin selection and selfish genes. 　　In the third and final episode, Dawkins explains why Darwin’s theory is one of history’s most controversial ideas. Dawkins uses this episode to discuss the opposition that evolution has experienced since it was first discovered. He starts by approaching various anti-evolutionists, ranging from John Mackay from Creation Research, Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America, to English school teacher Nick Cowen. In order to address concerns they bring up, he shows the evidence for evolution, including fossil and DNA evidence. He also talks to the science students of the school he taught in during the first episode, asking them why they aren’t adequately teaching the ideas of science properly, instead allowing their students to believe that truth is personal and that science is merely a point of view. 　　Dawkins also describes Darwin’s personal journey from Christianity to atheism, based not only on the natural mechanisms he saw, but also on the cruelty in the world which seemed to deny a loving God, in particular the loss of his daughter Annie. While Dawkins does address the bleakness of the Darwinian view, he spends the last part of this episode describing how Darwin and he himself address it, ending by saying: “In the perspective of the universe, the vastness of the universe and of geological time, we are insignificant. Some people find the thought disturbing, even frightening. Like Darwin, I find the reality thrilling.”
