The Doctor pulls Sarah out of the water, and they return to shore, having confirmed to their own satisfaction that someone is using impossibly advanced technology to tamper with the course of evolution.
The novel All-Consuming Fire establishes that while Sherlock Holmes is a real character in this universe, the name “Sherlock Holmes” is a pseudonym invented by Doyle to hide his true identity.

 BookBag@theLogBook.com: Doctor Who - The Seventh Doctor Handbook
Doctor Who: The Eighties, by the same authors, was an excellent book in that department, as is this one.
As the Sixth Doctor Handbook examined an unfulfilled long-term plan for the character of Colin Baker's Doctor, further investigation of what could have been would've been very welcome in the Seventh Doctor Handbook - including the evolution from Lungbarrow to Ghost Light and back again.
And even though it seems to be the thickest of the Doctor Who Handbooks, I felt that the Seventh Doctor Handbook was scarcely long enough.

 A Brief History Of Time (Travel): The Fifth Doctor
The years were beginning to tell upon the Fifth Doctor, as they had during the latter days of his fourth incarnation; he was being who had seen and endured much, both good and bad.
Nevertheless, Peri also proved to be a tender and charismatic individual, and the evolution of her relationship with the Doctor, from its acrimonious beginnings to a mixture of knowing sarcasm and genuine respect, demonstrated that she was well on her way to becoming a mature and well-rounded adult.

 [2ACV12] The Deep South
Bender accidentally burning down Zoidberg's home ("That just raises further questions!" -- one of Hermes' best lines yet) and the caffeine causing hyper-evolution were a nice way of saying, "We know the science is all screwed up, and we don't care." The idea of an anti-pressure suppository is just too ridiculous to not be funny.
Fry's romance provides the story's emotional interest and a lot of funny dialogue, but the way it ends is abrupt and blunt to say the least.
Dr. Zoidberg's unique character traits are particularly well-used.

 The New Zoos: Doctor Fish
Biologists trace the evolution of the heart and circulatory system in mammals by studying the anatomy of hearts in other animals.

Some scientists believe the tuna has an adaptation in one of its eye muscles that allows it to shunt warm blood to the brain.

Over run by the forces of the evil Doctor Eggman, the citizens of Mobius live in constant fear of being assimilated into his unstoppable army of cyborgs.
And so, I decided to make my very own look for Doctor Eggman which is mostly based on the Adventure look but taking into account his body size in the Fleetway look (No sticky legs to support a bulky mass).
I wanted Eggman to be a real menace and able to fight without the aid of an Egg Pod and so his body is composed of pure fat but muscle as well.

Thomas Edison, of course, was the brilliant inventor and self-promoter who, with his associates, developed and created, in 1879, carbonized cotton thread as a filament for conducting electricity; this eventually led to the development of the electronic vacuum tube, and was directly responsible for electric lamps and lighting.

"We live in troubled times, where fretful dreams settle upon the Empire's brow." It is interesting that Bond says this, in light of the fact that 1897, the previous year, was Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, an event of great, even overwe'ening, self-celebration on the part of the British.

 Articles - John Peel (writer)
He later wrote the novel Evolution for their sister range the Missing Adventures (set during the programme's run with previous Doctors and companions), and also The Gallifrey Chronicles (not to be confused with the final book in Eighth Doctor Adventures series), a compendium detailing the history of the Doctor's home planet.
Peel was in fact the first writer ever to have penned a full-length original Doctor Who novel featuring The Doctor, Timewyrm: Genesys, when he was chosen by range editor Peter Darvill-Evans to launch the New Adventures range, carrying on from where the then-cancelled television series had left off, in 1991.
For similar reasons, Peel is the only novelist to have used the Daleks in full-length original Doctor Who novels, writing War of the Daleks and Legacy of the Daleks in the Eighth Doctor Adventures range for BBC Books in 1997 and 1998 respectively.

 Evolutionists and the Moth Myth
Bernard Kettlewell was a medical doctor and amateur entomologist who was recruited by Ford when he recognized Kettlewell's unusual abilities in the field as a student and collector of moths.
Kettlewell was invited to the 1966 Wistar Institute symposium on "Mathematical Challenges to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution" in Philadelphia, where he heard a number of key mathematicians and biologists show that the standard theory could not possibly account for the world of living creatures in any finite time.
For this fieldwork, Bernard Kettlewell was selected, and he did perform the well-known field studies which resulted in the to-be-much-publicized proof of "evolution in action." As Hooper notes: "By the close of the 1950s, the peppered moth would be the poster child for evolution" (Hooper, op.

 DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE, AND THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
The bottom line is that human population size and density are key variables in epidemiology, influencing the rate of introduction of new parasites into the population, their chances of becoming established, the rate of their spread, the evolution of their virulence, and the capacity of human cultural evolution to defend against them.
A conservative estimate of the global rate of species loss is one extinction per hour (Wilson, 1992), which exceeds by at least four orders of magnitude the rate of evolution of novel species (Lawson and May, 1995).

 Rocky Road: Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin's grandfather was Erasmus Darwin, the scientist, poet, inventor, doctor and polymath.
Charles Darwin is a household name because he proposed a viable mechanism for evolution, namely natural selection.
In fact, Darwin devised no great evolutionary theory until after his return to England, and he was not the first person to propose evolution; it was widely discussed — at least in scientific circles — long before he published any of his theories.

1565-Antwerp doctor Samuel von Quicchelberg publishes a description of the first "imaginary museum" including items from the animal, vegetable and mineral world.
The museum's practice of allowing entry to anyone who pays the admission fee horrifies scholars from continental Europe.
Known as Eozoön or "dawn animal," this find is used as an argument against evolution because it shows a relatively "modern" animal early in the fossil record.
