How is Aristotle's theory on evolution correlated with the song in the link below?
Aristotle did not believe that organisms evolve, so the video is not like Aristotle's biology in that regard, but the video does show a hierarchy to life, if evolutionary newness could be considered hierarchical. Aristotle believed that there is a hierarchy to organisms, with humans at the top, mammals higher up, reptiles lower, and so on and so forth. The video shows fish evolving first, then reptiles, then mammals, and, finally, man. If the organisms are considered to ascend the hierarchy as the video progresses in time, the organization of life is similar to the way that Aristotle clifies it.
