why are there still monkeys?
mengapa masih ada monyet?
and not a monkey
dan bukan monyet,
to understanding where we came from.
untuk mengerti dari mana kita berasal.
evolutionary biology classes in the US,
kelas biologi evolusioner terbesar di AS,
why I call them fish all the time,
saya selalu memanggil mereka ikan,
by dispelling some hardwired myths,
dengan menghilangkan mitos yang tertanam,
many of us were taught evolution wrong.
kita diajari evolusi dengan keliru.
to say "the theory of evolution."
"teori evolusi".
and just like the process itself,
dan seperti prosesnya sendiri,
are the ones that survive to this day.
adalah yang bertahan sampai hari ini.
is Darwinian natural selection.
adalah seleksi alam Darwin.
that best fit an environment
yang paling cocok dengan lingkungan
slowly die off.
meninggal secara perlahan.
and it's a fact.
dan itulah faktanya.
as much as the "theory of gravity."
seperti "teori gravitasi".
with other placental mammals,
mamalia plasental,
with other vertebrates,
yang dimiliki verterbrata lainnya,
with all other life on earth.
semua kehidupan lain di bumi.
from different ancestors
dari nenek moyang yang berbeda
tidak hanya kita.
how we learn biology early on, is it?
belajar Biologi pada awalnya, kan?
are primitive things,
adalah makhluk primitif,
followed by reptiles and mammals,
kemudian reptil dan mamalia,
at the end of the line.
pada garis evolusi yang terakhir.
pada satu garis,
portrayed something like this,
yang digambarkan sedemikian rupa,
to becoming us.
menjadi kita.
any more than we would become them.
lebih daripada kita akan menjadi mereka.
evolution the right way?
evolusi dengan benar?
has led to many problems,
telah mengakibatkan banyak masalah,
pertanyaan abadi itu,
evolution the right way.
to many convoluted and corrupted views
banyak pandangan yang berbelit dan salah
other life on earth,
makhluk hidup lain di bumi,
ke 4 miliar tahun yang lalu.
we all came from.
dari mana kita berasal.
to other single-celled life,
makhluk hidup uniseluler lainnya.
sampai hari ini,
the Archaea and Bacteria
Archaea dan Bakteri
to be here well after us.
berada di sini setelah kita.
multicellularity evolved.
organisme multiseluler muncul,
and your plants and your animals.
a backbone were fishes.
tulang belakang adalah ikan.
all vertebrates are fishes,
semua hewan vertebrata adalah ikan.
Anda dan saya adalah ikan.
the mammals and reptiles.
mamalia dan reptil.
some mammals become primates,
beberapa mamalia menjadi primata,
including a variety of human species.
termasuk berbagai spesies manusia.
kita tidak berevolusi dari monyet,
a common ancestor with them.
around us kept evolving:
di sekitar kita terus berevolusi:
lots of fish, fish, fish.
banyak ikan, ikan, ikan.
yes, they're my favorite group.
mereka itu grup favorit saya.
ada juga yang punah.
for a few million years.
selama beberapa juta tahun.
that we see around us today
yang kita lihat hari ini
it's self-centered to think,
jika kita berpikir,
bersifat primitif,
for an evolutionary minute,
sedemikian waktu,
an unfinished book for sure.
tentunya buku yang belum selesai ditulis.
few pages of each chapter.
halaman terakhir dari setiap bab.
on the eight million species
8 juta spesies
four billion years of evolution.
berevolusi selama 4 miliar tahun.
on this ancient and gigantic tree of life,
dari pohon kehidupan kuno dan raksasa ini,
not just to each other,
tidak hanya satu sama lain,
and our evolutionary ancestors.
dan nenek moyang kita.
trying to learn, with others,
dengan orang lain,
who is related to whom.
yang lain, siapa dengan siapa.
as a little fish out of water.
ikan kecil yang keluar dari air.
belajar berjalan dan berbicara,
a lot of learning to do
dan dari mana kita berasal.
