Description: An animated treatment of the evolution of life begins with an amoebic blob slithering forth from a Coke bottle to grow, multiply and metamorphose into the dinosaurs of the past and the living creatures of the present. To the rhythm of Ravel's Bolero, the animals march from primeval swamp to a city of living skyscrapers where finally emerges the head of a great ape, perhaps the leader of a new civilization.
