Cle’ 1: The Relic

Introduction – Elizah Germino:

The desperation keeps swallowing me. I am confused. I am frustrated. I am
always filled with questions, but what’s the use? If there will always be no answer.
Who was I for all this time? Where did I came from? Day by day I am getting
scared, not knowing anything, not knowing who I am.
Perhaps, I should use the key. The key to the evidence of my existence, and
maybe, the door that I am about to unlock using this key will simmer down the chaos
inside my head. Just maybe.

Cle’1: The Relics
Discussion – Evidence from Fossils – Nico Isaac Valencia
This is the first key. The beginning.
The history of life recorded by fossils presents compelling evidence of evolution.
Paleontologists have recovered and studied the fossil remains of many thousands of
organisms that lived in the past. This fossil record shows that many kinds of extinct
organisms were very different in form from any now living. It also shows successions of
organisms through time. When an organism dies, it is usually destroyed by other forms of
life and by weathering processes. On rare occasions, some body parts—particularly hard
ones such as shells, teeth, or bones—are preserved by being buried in mud or protected in
some other way from predators and weather. Eventually, they may become petrified and
preserved indefinitely with the rocks in which they are embedded.
Methods such as radiometric dating—measuring the amounts of natural
radioactive atoms that remain in certain minerals to determine the elapsed time since they
were constituted—make it possible to estimate the time period when the rocks, and the
fossils associated with them, were formed.
Only small proportion of organisms were preserved as fossils, only a tiny fraction
has been recovered and studied by paleontologists. Using this small proportion of
recovered fossils, paleontologists have reconstructed examples of radical evolutionary
transitions in form and function. 
Outro – Nico Isaac Valencia
The Fossil Record is incomplete; but they still managed to gather information
from these relics and form conclusion based on facts.
Complete or incomplete, it won’t matter. It’s up to you if you will take the second
key to unlock the next door.
Outro – Elizah Germino
This is just the beginning, and I won’t stop taking more keys and unlocking doors.
I won’t, because I can’t.

Cle’ 2: The Cadre

Introduction – Elizah Germino:

Relics from the past. I thought it will be enough to answer the questions inside my
head; though it thought me a lesson, I am still confused and it makes me want to know
more.
The first key made me see and hear things that I have never encountered before, it
thought me how people used fossils as an evidence to evolution; it was all new to me…
What is this? I don’t know what is right and what to feel. The only thing that I
know is that, I am longing for something, and I have no choice but to rely on what’s in
my hand. The second key.

Cle’2: The Cadre

Discussion – Evidence from Structure – Arjay Aquino

This is the second key to fulfill your curiosity.

The structures derived from different organism is somewhat comparable to common lineage base
on evidences and observations. In order for you to understand, me, together with my colleagues
classify this evidence in organism’s structure.
First – Homologous structure are structures with the same set of bones that we assume that
evolved from the same ancestor. They appeared different and have different functions. Common
example of this are the forelimbs of vertebrae where different animal’s forelimb is derived from
the same ancestral tetrapod structure.
Second is the Analogous Structure. These structures perform the same function but have very
different embryological development or in the simple manner have a part that have same
functions but the organism itself came from different ancestor. Example of this are the wings of
the bat and bird they have the same functions but they have different origin.
Lastly the Vestigial Structure, these structures sadly have no apparent functions and seems to be
as a “RESIDUAL” part from a previous ancestral function, sample of this is the human tailbone
located at our lower back, interesting, isn’t it?

Outro – Arjay
See, even organisms with same structure performs different function. Just like us, we are both
here on earth, to live, to survive, to feel, and to know. However, we have different purposes,
dreams, and goals; and that what makes it more beautiful. They 3rd key is now on your hand. Do
as you please, it is your life.

Outro – Eli
Should I? or I should not… Not continue this journey anymore.
But maybe I am halfway there. I will hold on and will keep unlocking doors.
 Cle’ 3: The Mainspring

Introduction – Elizah Germino:

Truly, we are made for different purpose. We have our own stories; we have different
goals and dreams in life. Just like the evidence from the organism’s structure, some have similar
appearance but differ in function, some have similar function but different origins, and some are
just… residuals.
I’d like to think that I am just “different” and not a “residual.” I want to be certain that I
am living, not just surviving. I’d like to know where I came from and what us all different.

Cle’3: The Mainspring

Discussion – Evidence from Structure – Jon Pillarca

Embryology, or the study of embryos, help us to find plenty of evidence to support the
theory of evolution.
We believe that Vertebrates, from fishes through lizards to humans, develop in ways that
are remarkably similar during early stages, but they become more and more differentiated as the
embryos approach maturity.
In much simpler terms some traits of different organisms have the same features during
their formation but suddenly disappeared as they become mature. Example of this? Human and
fish embryo during the early stage both have gills slit but as they come mature human loses them
and the fish fully develop this feature, fascinating isn’t it

Outro – Jon
We develop in many ways, in fact, evidence from embryology could explain how and
why.
This is the mainspring, initially we thought that we are all the same; however, when
maturity or piles of realization hits us, it will make a huge difference.
Outro – Elizah Germino
Huge difference… physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Cle’ 4: The Blueprint

Introduction – Elizah Germino:

They say our DNA is the blueprint of life, as it contains the instructions needed for us to
grow and develop. I wonder if this blueprint also contains the answers that I’ve been longing.
It runs through our blood, but why does it feel like I am the only one going through this?
Did everybody go through this same experience? Or am I the only one?
I wonder if my parents also go through the same as we share the same blue print… Tell
me that I am not the only one, tell me…

Cle’4: The Blueprint

Discussion – Evidence from Molecular Biology – Angelie Rivera

This blueprint of life provides the most detailed and convincing evidence available for
biological evolution. In its unveiling of the nature of DNA and the workings of organisms at the
level of enzymes and other protein molecules, it has shown that these molecules hold
information about an organism’s ancestry.
The evidence of evolution revealed by molecular biology goes even farther. The degree
of similarity in the sequence of nucleotides or of amino acids can be precisely quantified. For
example, in humans and chimpanzees, the protein molecule called cytochrome c, which serves a
vital function in respiration within cells, consists of the same 104 amino acids in exactly the
same order. It differs, however, from the cytochrome c of rhesus monkeys by 1 amino acid, from
that of horses by 11 additional amino acids, and from that of tuna by 21 additional amino acids.
The degree of similarity reflects the recency of common ancestry. 
 In other word Many organisms have similar molecules of life that suggest descent from a
common ancestor with modifications. same biochemical building blocks, such as amino acids
and nucleotides, are found in all organisms, from bacteria to plants and animals.

Outro – Angelie
This key holds a complex information, just bare this in mind most of the organisms have
a remarkably common DNA patterns that implies that they are from common ancestors and
being modified as time goes by.

Outro – Elizah Germino.

We may share the common blueprint, but as time goes by, it is being modified. Maybe
this is the reason why I feel like I am the only one going through this. Little did I know, my
parents have gone through the same. The difference? They are much developed, matured, and
strong.

Cle’ 5: The Allocation

Introduction – Elizah Germino:

Have you ever felt that the world is too big for us to conquer?
Have you ever asked yourself “Is this the place where I belong?”
I don’t know, but as time goes by, I feel like I want to end this journey, go home and
embrace the comfort little by little. I am afraid of what’s next and afraid by the endgame of this
journey.

Cle’4: The Allocation

Discussion – Evidence from BIOGEOGRAPHY –

Organisms usually arise in areas where similar forms already exist. Similar organisms may also
be found in different locations which could mean that the two places were previously connected.
Example of this is  there are about 1,500 known species of Drosophila vinegar flies in the world;
nearly one-third of them live in Hawaii and nowhere else, although the total area of the
archipelago is less than one-twentieth the area of California or Germany.
Historical biogeographers also make use of a tool called an area cladogram. This diagram is
made by taking a taxonomic tree, which shows various species and their relatedness, and
replacing the species names with the geographic location in which those species are found. This
new tree allows scientists to determine how the differences in environments have affected the
evolutionary history of different species of common origin

Outro –
This evidence somewhat relates to you, just like different organisms distributed thousand miles
away, maybe the answers you are finding took a long journey and clues are scattered, but one
thing is for sure just like these evidences they are related and significant so take on.
