Although we are partial to the Carl Sagan & Cosmos origins of this series, John D Boswell’s latest gift may be his best yet. Only a few minutes long each, the music-video-remix of scientific explanations is a novel approach to getting the hook in. This one is about evolution.
Aesthetics are always a matter of taste, so the particular style of music, the fast-cutting images, the lighthearted transition from the speaking voice of a well-known scientist to a singsong dub-repeat-dub–all may have their detractors.
But the possibility of a new hook is the thing. When we first started noticing the early entries in this series, we thought it was a one-off kind of thing. Thank the cosmos, not so.
