During Richard Dawkins' 2009 American tour, we visited Judy Diamond's "Explore Evolution" exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln. This exhibit has now been replicated in six museums around the country. While visiting we filmed a collection of short unrehearsed and unscripted videos—just inspired by the "Explore Evolution" exhibit.

"If Americans came from Europe, why are there still Europeans?" (My personal favorite.)
-
If Spanish came from Latin how come we still have French?

If i'm descended from my Grandma, WHY IS SHE STILL ALIVE??!!

Poor Richard. Every time he does one of these I bet he thinks: This will do it, I'll explain it calmly, slowly, and at the most basic level so even a Bible thumper could understand. Two seconds after seeing it, they shout "show me the intermediates!" or or "thermodynamics!" - or Pol Pot, or 4 billion people can't be wrong, or where are your morals from. But thank Sagan he is still fighting the ignorance!

If ninja turtles came from turtles, why are there still turtles?

He just keeps making Sense what ever the subject . I love his knowledge
-
I just found it out, I think the reason people are religious is because they watch this and say Fuck it, this is too confusing, Ill just be religious.
-
Thank You Professor Dawkins for thoughtfully and calmly explaining that, in a way that is absolutely NOT condescending. You did a great job.

if eve ate the Apple, how are there still Apple's?

It is so depressing that people today in 2017 need this explanation which they are just going to refuse to comprehend.
-
if dogs came from wolves why are there still wolves
-
I knew that we were closely related to chimpanzees before I even heard of evolution. As a child I noticed how similar they are to us. They have five fingers, body parts are similar, face looks similar.
-
I love that Mr. Dawkins takes time to still make this kind of videos. Well appreciated! Thank you!
-
Great work Mr. Dawkins! Simple, straightforward. Keep these coming, they can do wonders!
-
I'm afraid this does not address how magnets work.
-
This series is great! Thank you for posting them
-
Its called "natural selection" not "natural random chance"
-
Explaining the Theory of Evolution to a doxastically closed theist is like trying to explain algebra to a coffee cup .
-
Dawkins is a genius! He sparked my interest in deep learning about evolution, and it is an amazing and beautiful thing!

as a german i think its quite confusing how people can not get this. I feel like we are catapulted back in Darwins time when people thought hed say that humans and chimps are like child and parents... i mean we have lots of religious people in germany as well but not even jehovas witnesses deny evolution here, they are just saying that god helped it along and sparked life
