EVOLUTION As for “Evolution”, this commemorates two great anniversaries: the International Year of Astronomy and the Year of Darwin. This audiovisual production brings the astrobiology closer to the people, the science that include Astronomy and Biology. A unique concept applied in two different areas that tell, on the one hand, the evolution of the species and, for other one, the evolution of the universe. Darwin and Galilean were two big geniuses who shared their enthusiasm for the experiments, their devotion to the scientific method and their will for going against the current. "Evolution" realistically depicts a variety of scenarios, such as the deck of the Beagle, the first moments of life on Earth, the farthest Universe, the inside of the GTC telescope on the Canary island of La Palma, and Victorian London at the time of Darwin, not forgetting recreations of the starry sky.
