Symphony of Science – The Greatest Show on Earth! A music video about Evolution

BBCが作ったビデオです。進化、自然選択、DNAなどなど、の生物学の話題がノリの良い音楽をバックにラップ調で語られます。

How could one species turn into another?
How is it that we find ourselves surrounded by such complexity, such elegance?
The genes of you and me. They’re all made of DNA. We’re all made of the same chemicals. DNA – we’re all made of DNA
Only the fittest survive. And that is the key. Natural Selection. That is the key
We are surrounded by endless forms. Most beautiful, most wonderful. Evolution – the greatest show on Earth. There is grandeur in this view of life. Evolution – the greatest show on Earth
The history of life can be thought of as a many branched tree. The five kingdoms of life were established early on. Bacteria, Protists- amoeba like creatures, Fungi, Plants And animals
We find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming tree of life.
We are surrounded by millions of other species. Walking, flying, burrowing, stalking, chasing, fleeing, outpacing
Animals strive to reach this one ultimate goal to ensure the survival of the next generation. This one ultimate goal to pass on their genes. That is what life is all about.
As we look back on the history of life. We see a picture of never ending, ever rejuvenating novelty.
Those animals may seem to us to be very remote, strange, even fantastic. But all of us alive today owe our very existence to them.
