Evolution in The Urban Jungle

University and General Public

Unexpected findings provide a new chapter in Darwin's theory of evolution. In our cities of all places, animals and plants adapt very quickly to new living conditions, often within a few decades. The researchers are amazed at how nature itself converts pollution, noise and waste into creative energy for new adjustments. The documentary accompanies research teams from the United States and Europe who unravel the secret of urban evolution. Why does the adjustment happen so quickly, especially in metropolitan areas? Will our metropolises soon produce new species?
