Despite overwhelming obstacles, life on Earth has evolved from the most humble of beginnings to a level of diversity that challenges human comprehension. The fittest have indeed survived--even in places where no living creatures could be thought to exist. In a stunning six-part miniseries, Nature presents a compelling new vision of the epic forces that have shaped the Earth. More than three years in the making, "Triumph of Life" combines dramatic storytelling with powerful, ground-breaking scientific ideas in a sweeping story about survival and the survivors--the winners, for the moment at least, in an eternal battle. Episode 5: The growing study of animal intelligence--from the use of tools by chimps to the apparent ability of many species to communicate among themselves in ingenious ways--casts a vibrant new light on the role of the mind in evolution. Brain power, in fact, has led to some of the most fascinating innovations in the evolutionary arms race.
