This series of core curriculum programs explores the 'deep branches' on the tree of life to reveal a modern view of the classification and phylogeny of each group studied in the biology curricula. The narrated programs feature new techniques of microscopy, animation, and photography to reveal the structure, process, and behavior in living things. All DVD programs include an illustrated PDF Teaching Guide. The most recent DVDs also contain an Image Bank of dynamic still photographs for use in lecture, discussion, and review.
