This is how i learned about evolution and the end of man

"Once upon a time... Man"

One of my favorite shows as a kid, the canadians might know this one as well..

Here is the equally good but far more optimistic german version:

YT Comment: The words at the end translate to "And the Earth... was". The episode deals with the formation of the Earth, life, and the evolution of Man to the time of Homo heidelbergensis. The last episode is the really sad one: Man screws Earth up so badly and in 2060 self-destructs via nuclear war.

Those were awesome, you learned a lot from those. I watched them religiously. Poor kids these days don't have anything like that, for decades now(a fact I could rage about), anymore.

indeed one of the best shows of my childhood. Every day in the Kibbutz we would gather and watch it.

there was another show with the same characters - I only found the hebrew version of it, since I have no clue what it was called - that was awesome as well!

The Once upon a time... Man was the first one. Then there was Once upon a time... Space (which had some educational value, but it was more of a sci-fi story) and lastly there was Once upon a time... Life.

They were great!

The intro music for the Space one was great. Here's the portuguese version:

Interesting fact is that they left out the lovemaking in the hebrew version:
In the french and german version you can see two naked teens get together in the beginning:
