The Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds Short Film (2009)
Watch the experimental short The Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds. The Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds is an experiment in scale: By condensing 4.6 billion years of history into a minute, the video is a self-contained timepiece. Like a specialized clock, it gives one a sense of perspective. Everything  -  from the formation of the Earth, to the Cambrian Explosion, to the evolution of mice and squirrels -  is proportionate to everything else, displaying humankind as a blip, almost indiscernible in the layered course of history.
