How did the millions of organisms on Earth become so different in appearance, behavior and habitat? This program explores a fundamental paradox: life exists because DNA is so good at replicating itself, yet it is the errors of replication- mutations that are responsible for life as we know it. Humans share 99% of our gene pool with chimpanzees; random mutation is responsible for the all-important 1% that makes the difference. Program 2.
