Australian Aborigines in inhospitable territory in the 20th c could see animals moving a mile away!!!
The program was very interesting, but the idea that human beings are evolved or take part in all other forms of life, as shown by evolution, is an old one. In Christian thinking, man is the highest form of creation, but man takes part in the vegetative and animal kingdoms and natures - here because they were what human being evolved from. But at some point in the evolutionary path God inserted a human soul into an animal, making it a man. So it is correct to say we evolved from fish, etc., and not correct (since they had different kinds of souls). And this is even compatible with continuing evolutionary changes in man.
