Reflection. A film about time and relatedness - ACE061.5

Caption: "The Vegetable World." Waves breaking; animation showing directions of growth of organisms, from single cell to line to plane to solids, and shapes of first skeletons, composed of silicates in sea-water, all following similar patterns. Diatoms. Trees reflected in water. Twelve-square patterns showing outlines of leaf patterns; lines of symmetry on the pattern make further patterns which reflect the whole. Young leaves at right-angles to those above and below. Caption: "The Animal World." Cliffs, seabirds, flowers, deer. "The evolutionary transition from the rooted world of the vegetable kingdom to the mobile of the animal kingdom is as much a miraculous mystery as life itself…" and describes some of "the mutually co-operative relationship between the animal and vegetable kingdoms". Mole, fox, rabbit, ants, moth; life on Earth "depends on the survival of the fittest to co-operate".
