This was a very interesting video and the fact that something as vast as evolution can be explained in four minutes is incredible. I really enjoyed the analogy between a book and our genome. Our unique pattern of information consists of a genome (book) with 46 chapters of 25,000 genes (pages) with billions of lines of codes written in molecules known as DNA. DNA is composed of cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine. I think it is a brilliant way to explain what our genome consists of and it facilitates its explanation.
Natural selection is a key factor in evolution. My interpretation of the statement, "be mated or be dated" says that in order for us humans to continue to live on this planet, we must reproduce or we will run the risk of becoming extinct. It seems strange to think that much like other living organisms that once roamed these very grounds and have become extinct, we too run that same risk. The good thing is that the majority of people naturally contribute to the human race maintaining a place here on earth by simply having children.
