[00:17.19]The genes of you and me
[00:21.80]They're all made of DNA
[00:23.58]We're all made of the same chemicals
[00:25.81]DNA - we're all made of DNA
[00:34.13]Only the fittest survive
[00:36.25]And that is the key
[00:38.28]Natural Selection

[01:12.24]The five kingdoms of life
[01:14.33]were established early on

[02:24.17]Outpacing
[02:25.28]Animals strive to reach this one ultimate goal
[02:28.82]To ensure the survival of the next generation
