Evolution (Baxter novel)

Evolution is a collection of short stories that work together to form an episodic science fiction novel by author Stephen Baxter. It follows 565 million years of human evolution, from shrewlike mammals 65 million years in the past to the ultimate fate of humanity (and its descendants, both biological and non-biological) 500 million years in the future.

Plot summary

The book follows the evolution of mankind as it shapes surviving Purgatorius into tree dwellers, remoulds a group that drifts from Africa to a (then much closer) New World on a raft formed out of debris, and confronting others with a terrible dead end as ice clamps down on Antarctica.

    Promotion

    Music video

    "Evolution", directed by Dave Meyers, was filmed on June 15, 2007 in Los Angeles. The music video features Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. According to the casting call sheet, "Evolution" is "filled with political satire and humor." The production team sought mostly male actors to fill roles such as "hero scientists", religious politicians, doctors, green peace guys, anthropologists, military men, and "government types". Casting interviews were held June 12 and 13, 2007.

    Viral marketing

    The domain www.evolutiondevolution.com was set up in promotion of the song. The website is a spoof to promote the "Evolution" music video. It is themed as a documentary publication website and features Korn acting as "experts" who studied evolution in support of a fake documentary titled Devolution: Nature's U-Turn. Vocalist Jonathan Davis explained that the band wanted to try a different kind of promotion, and so created the website and several viral promotion trailers.

    House (season 2)

    The second season of House premiered on September 13, 2005 and ended on May 23, 2006. During the season, House tries to cope with his feelings for his ex-girlfriend Stacy Warner, who, after House diagnosed her husband with Acute intermittent porphyria, has taken a job in the legal department of Princeton-Plainsboro.

    Sela Ward's chemistry with Laurie in the final two episodes of season one was strong enough to have her character return in seven episodes of the second season.

    Euphoria (Vinnie Vincent album)

    Euphoria is a 1996 EP by Vinnie Vincent. There is another pressing of this disc as well called The EP. The purpose was to preview material for an album called Guitarmageddon/Guitars from Hell which has yet to materialize. Vinnie thanks Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Eric Carr on the album.

    Following the breakup of the Invasion, Vinnie returned to the studio in 1990 with original Invasion vocalist, Robert Fleischman and drummer Andre LaBelle, though some say it may have been as early as 1989. At least thirteen songs were recorded, though not all to a studio quality release standard. While four songs from the studio sessions were finally released as Euphoria/The EP in 1996, only six of the unreleased songs have been available via low quality bootlegs. The reason for Labelle's drum tracks being replaced by a drum machine programmed by Vincent on Euphoria is unknown.

  • "Euphoria" – 5:23
  • "Get the Led Out" – 6:14
  • "Wild Child" – 5:14
