1. The woman is speaking in a speech bubble:
   "It was once possible to believe in an evolutionary Tree of Life. But horizontal gene transfer means divergent branches can have direct connections. There's really only one structure commonly known, which could describe that quality."

   "Nobody appreciated my 'Ewok Village of Life' concept."
