Tonight on the History Channel the series “Evolve” continues with it’s second episode Evolve – Guts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take a 575-million year journey that begins with the planet’s first multi-cellular organisms and ends at our dinner tables. Watch as live-action natural history sequences, CGI, epic docudrama, and experimental science help to illustrate our and our fellow species’ eternal struggle for survival on earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
