why are there still monkeys?
왜 여전히 원숭이가 존재하는 걸까요?
아니기 때문입니다.
and not a monkey
물고기라는 사실을 아는 것은
to understanding where we came from.
이해하는 데 굉장히 중요합니다.
evolutionary biology classes in the US,
진화생물학 강의를 하고 있습니다.
why I call them fish all the time,
마침내 그들이 이해했을 때
by dispelling some hardwired myths,
오래된 미신을 타파시켜야만 하죠.
many of us were taught evolution wrong.
진화를 잘못 배웠기 때문입니다.
to say "the theory of evolution."
"진화론"이 있습니다.
and just like the process itself,
그 이론 자체의 진화 과정처럼
are the ones that survive to this day.
오늘날까지 살아남은 것입니다.
is Darwinian natural selection.
다윈의 자연 선택설입니다.
that best fit an environment
살아남아서 번식을 하고
slowly die off.
점차 사라지는 것입니다.
and it's a fact.
이는 명확한 사실입니다.
as much as the "theory of gravity."
같은 정도의 사실입니다.
with other placental mammals,
with other vertebrates,
가지고 있는 척추나
with all other life on earth.
가지고 있는 DNA도 있습니다.
가지고 있는 것이 아닙니다.
from different ancestors
how we learn biology early on, is it?
배우지 않았을 겁니다. 그렇죠?
are primitive things,
박테리아는 원시적인 것이고
followed by reptiles and mammals,
이후에 파충류와 포유류가 생겨났고
at the end of the line.
생겨났다는 것이었죠.
흐름으로 진화되지 않으며
portrayed something like this,
이런 그림이었을 겁니다.
to becoming us.
걸어오는 모양으로요.
any more than we would become them.
그들도 우리가 될 수 없습니다.
evolution the right way?
배워야 하는 이유는 뭘까요?
has led to many problems,
많은 문제를 야기시켰습니다.
evolution the right way.
to many convoluted and corrupted views
지구의 다른 생명체를 다루는 방법과
other life on earth,
서로를 대하는 방법에 대한
거슬러 올라가도록 하죠.
we all came from.
단세포 생물입니다.
to other single-celled life,
생명체를 만들어냈지만
the Archaea and Bacteria
대부분을 차지하는
생명체라고 말합니다.
to be here well after us.
여전히 존재할 것입니다.
multicellularity evolved.
처음으로 등장했습니다.
and your plants and your animals.
그리고 동물을 포함합니다.
a backbone were fishes.
생물은 어류였습니다.
all vertebrates are fishes,
모든 척추동물은 어류이고
the mammals and reptiles.
종이 생겨났습니다.
some mammals become primates,
일부 포유류는 유인원이 되고
꼬리 달린 원숭이가 되었고
including a variety of human species.
영장류가 되었습니다.
원숭이에서 진화된 게 아닌
a common ancestor with them.
가지고 있습니다.
around us kept evolving:
진화를 거듭하고 있습니다.
lots of fish, fish, fish.
어류도 계속 증가했습니다.
좋아하는 종 그룹입니다.
yes, they're my favorite group.
멸종하기도 합니다.
for a few million years.
존속하지 못했습니다.
that we see around us today
역사를 가지고 있습니다.
it's self-centered to think,
자기중심적으로 생각해서
for an evolutionary minute,
특별해."라고 해서는 안됩니다.
an unfinished book for sure.
아직 다 읽지 못한 책이라고요.
few pages of each chapter.
마지막 일부만 보는 것입니다.
on the eight million species
four billion years of evolution.
여기시길 바랍니다.
on this ancient and gigantic tree of life,
생명의 나무의 새싹이라고 생각하세요.
not just to each other,
멸종된 종이나 진화론적 선조들도
and our evolutionary ancestors.
연결되어 있다고 생각해보세요.
trying to learn, with others,
who is related to whom.
여전히 연구하고 있습니다.
as a little fish out of water.
여기는 게 더 나을 수도 있습니다.
말하는 법을 배웠지만
a lot of learning to do
어디에서 왔는지를

Why you should listen
Dr. Prosanta Chakrabarty is an Associate Professor and Curator of Fishes at the Museum of Natural Science and Department of Biological Science at Louisiana State University.
Chakrabarty is a systematist and an ichthyologist studying the evolution and biogeography of both freshwater and marine fishes. His work includes studies of Neotropical (Central and South America, Caribbean) and Indo-West Pacific (Indian and Western Pacific Ocean) fishes. His natural history collecting efforts include trips to Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Madagascar, Panama, Kuwait and many other countries. He has discovered over a dozen new species including new anglerfishes and cavefishes.
The LSU Museum of Natural Science fish collection that Chakrabarty oversees includes nearly half a million fish specimens and nearly 10,000 DNA samples covering most major groups of fishes. He earned his PhD at the University of Michigan and his undergraduate degree is from McGill University in Montreal. He has written two books including A Guide to Academia: Getting into and Surviving Grad School, Postdocs and a Research Job. He is also a former Program Director at the National Science Foundation. He was named a TED Fellow in 2016 and a TED Senior Fellow in 2018.
