Earth teems with a staggering variety of animals, including 9,000 kinds of birds, 28,000 types of fish, and more than 350,000 species of beetles.

The source of life's endless forms was a profound mystery until Charles Darwin brought forth his revolutionary idea of natural selection.

To what degree do different animals rely on the same genetic toolkit? And how did we evolve?
