What is a fact beyond all doubt is that we share an ancestor with every other species of animal and plant on the planet.

It's an undeniable fact that we have a common ancestor with every animal and plant species on Earth.

해석: 의심의 여지없는 사실은 지구상의 모든 동물과 식물 종들과 공통 조상을 가지고 있다는 것이다.

 

We know this because some genes are recognizably the same genes in all living creatures, including animals, plants and bacteria.

We can confirm this because certain genes are identical across all living beings, from animals and plants to bacteria.

해석: 우리는 동물, 식물, 박테리아를 포함한 모든 생물들 사이에 특정 유전자가 동일하다는 것을 알 수 있다.

 

And, above all, the genetic code itself ─ the dictionary by which all genes are translated ─ is the same across all living creatures that have ever been looked at.

Most importantly, the genetic code, which acts as the instruction manual for translating genes, is identical among all examined living organisms.

해석: 그리고, 무엇보다 중요한 것은, 모든 조사된 생물들 사이에서 유전자를 번역하는 지침서 역할을 하는 유전 코드 자체가 동일하다는 것이다.

 

We are all cousins.

We are all relatives.

해석: 우리는 모두 친척이다.

 

Your family tree includes not just obvious cousins like chimpanzees and monkeys but also mice, buffaloes, iguanas, snails, dandelions, golden eagles, mushrooms, whales, and bacteria.

Your family tree consists of not only familiar relatives such as chimpanzees and monkeys, but also various other organisms like mice, buffaloes, iguanas, snails, dandelions, golden eagles, mushrooms, whales, and bacteria.

All are our cousins. Every last one of them.

They are all our relatives. Every single one.

해석: 그들은 모두 우리의 친척이다. 모든 한 사람.

 

Isn't that a far more wonderful thought than any myth?

Isn't that a much more amazing idea than any myth?

해석: 그것이 어떤 신화보다 훨씬 더 멋진 생각이 아닌가요?

 

And the most wonderful thing of all is that we know for certain it is literally true. 

And the most incredible part is that we are certain it's absolutely true.
