This is a description of a watercolor animation film titled "Origin of Species ", which explores an alternative perspective on evolution. The film starts with microscopic life forms, such as bacteria and protozoa, and delves into the possibility that evolution does not always progress towards more complex and higher forms of life, but instead undergoes deconstruction and regression, ultimately returning to inorganic matter.
The film draws inspiration from the BBC documentary "Life" and depicts the wonders and brutality of evolution in the natural world. As humans face bacterial infections, their bodies begin to break down, cells disintegrate, and the integrity of the human body is destroyed. Each part of the body seems to experience a kind of "material degradation," ultimately returning to a purely material state. The boundaries between life and death become blurred.
After escaping from their host bodies, bacteria return to the natural material cycle, no longer dependent on organic bodies but remerged into the material world as non-living matter. In this state, the boundaries between life and death, matter and non-being are no longer clear-cut. All existence is in a state of instability, constantly prone to dissolution, disappearance, or rebirth.
