Intro Review

The introduction to the graphic novel on evolution takes place in a holographic museum on a different planet; a scientist explains to his king and prince the theories on the origins of life on earth, and how that life has evolved. He begins with the earth's cooling forming the crust and trapping gases in the atmosphere. He explains how the basic components of life might have come about, and how they may have evolved into more complex organisms. I thought presenting the theories behind evolution in this setting was a good way of making it interesting to people who might normally see it as boring; the prince's reactions make us think of all the wonder and discovery behind evolution, instead of seeing it as dull classwork.
