In the 1960s film, a blend of nature, history, and evolution is portrayed. Close-ups showcase horse hoof bones, hoof fossils, and illustrations of prehistoric horses. Iconic figures in the realm of evolutionary science, including portraits of Charles Darwin, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, and Hugo de Vries, make prominent appearances. The natural world is vividly captured with scenes of domestic animals like dogs in yards, chickens by coops, cattle in barns, and horses in corrals. Wild animals, such as emus, elephants, and giraffes, are also depicted in various settings. Intermittently, the narrative delves into the prehistoric, with illustrations of pterodactyls and prehistoric elephants, models of ancient horses, and shots of dinosaur figurines. The film draws to a close with evocative imagery of fossilized remains, including a mammoth skull and skeleton, emphasizing the beauty and mystery of evolution and the passage of time.
