00:01The Galapagos Islands.
00:04Home to some of the most iconic biodiversity on the planet.
00:08And perhaps the last place you would think to find something new.
00:13But for the right scientists, anything is possible.
00:18Inside every snail shell is a tiny disco ball.
00:22We can't take ourselves too seriously.
00:24We're snail hunters.
00:25I feel like I'm the snail dork.
00:28Try to understand evolution through that lens.
00:30Disco snails.
00:31She's just a badass.
00:33Having a team is what makes it really fun.
00:36It turns out I'm not too bad at finding snails.
00:38I was made for this moment.
00:40This is not me. I like to go bowling and play mini golf.
00:44Stuck in a hole.
00:45He's the smartest guy I know.
00:47This is like if the Sasquatch people found a Sasquatch.
00:52Snails command an unlikely fascination from humans.
00:56Snail cream made with real snail juice.
00:59But the mystery remains.
01:00What can they teach us about coexistence in this delicate, fascinating world?
01:06Disco what?
01:07Disco snails.
01:08We have an objective to answer bigger questions around evolution.
01:13Filled with love.
01:14Key to the world coexisting together.
01:16And the champions of coexistence are the snails.
01:18The simple answer is their dances.
01:21Filled with love.
01:22Disco snails.
01:23But in Galapagos, it is never that simple.
01:26Their latitude is gratitude.
01:29Filled with love.
01:30It's like the pictures that the Mars rover sends back.
01:33Filled with love.
01:34Filled with love.
01:34Just barren lava.
01:36Inside of the volcano.
01:37Filled with love.
01:38Disco snails.
01:39This is hardcore.
01:40Oh my god, what if we don't actually find anything?
01:43The simple answer is their dances.
01:48But now we're right in the middle of a global crisis.
01:51So what needs to evolve, I think, are our ideas to save the Earth from the biodiversity crisis.
01:57I never expected that snails would provide these kind of insights.
02:07This is evolution and we're a part of it.
02:09Let's be furthermore.
02:10Our future teaching takes time.
02:13This is once a month.
02:13Of course, Shipley has listening to the Earth from Assistants.
