\n\t\u201cNova: Evolution\u201d is a five-part series from the GBH documentary unit together with the BBC and BBC Studios, which will trace the development of life from a single ancient cell into the many species alive today.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is set to premiere on Oct. 14, running through Nov. 11 on PBS. The series will also be available on PBS\u2019s website and app and Nova\u2019s YouTube channel, among other places.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2019Evolution\u2019 is an epic tale revealing the twists and turns of our existence over billions of years,\u201d reads the synopsis. \u201cIn this landmark series\u2014featuring passionate scientists, gorgeous photography, and stunning animations of long-lost ancestors\u2014discover how every animal we know and love today sprang from creatures that looked nothing like them. This landmark series follows five of these remarkable stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series will draw on genetic analysis and fossil records across varying regions and environments, combined with photography and animation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEvolution can feel like an abstract concept, but the stories at the heart of this series make it viscerally real,\u201d said co-executive producer Chris Schmidt. \u201cWhether it\u2019s tracing how the first light-sensing cells eventually led to a dolphin\u2019s brain wired for complex thought, or how ancient jaw bones became the bones in our ears \u2014 these are discoveries that fundamentally change how you see your own body and every living thing around you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCo-executive producer Julia Cort added: \u201cEvery animal alive today is connected by a single thread of ancestry stretching back billions of years, and yet the creatures that gave rise to modern life would be almost unrecognizable to us today. This series gives viewers a front-row seat to these extraordinary chains of events \u2014 mutations, adaptations, and evolutionary leaps \u2014 that ultimately produced the astonishing diversity of life on our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
