Life on Earth probably began with chemistry. First of all, life needed specific ingredients to first begin. Also, the ingredients have to be put in a specific order and in specific circumstances for life to be created. In the early Earth, life was created by special circumstances and a specific order was needed, or else the outcome would have been different.
Laughter evolved from monkeys. First, the orangutan started laughing as a panting sound. Then, the gorilla added a "ha-ha" sound along with the panting. Next, the chimpanzee had more of a "ha-ha" sound than a panting sound. Finally, the bonobo sounded more like humans than any other monkey. Monkeys used their "laughter" when they were roughhousing. They were basically saying,"I'm just kidding. I'm not trying to hurt you".

Responding to Gattaca
“You can go to great lengths with this guy’s helix.”
Vincent wants to work at Gattaca and fly into outer space, but cannot because he is an invalid. However, Jerome has excellent genes, but is a wheelchair from a car accident and is unable to reach his dreams. He still wants to help someone else in need. Vincent agrees, because he has wanted to work at Gattaca for his whole life, and has something to prove. Vincent has been told many times in his life that he would never be able to work at Gattaca or even see the inside of a rocket unless he was cleaning it. Vincent wants to prove to everyone that he can fly in space even with his heart problem. This is the way he could follow his dream.
GATTACA Quote Response
When Vincent was working as a janitor for GATTACA, he said "I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it." This relates to the movie because Vincent tried to hard to become an space engineer, but he was only genetically able to become a janitor. He was able to work at GATTACA but not be what he dreamed of. For starters, he needed to be a valid in order to qualify for the job. This is how he realized that his goal was an unreachable thing for him. Even so, he tried his hardest to be able to fulfill his dream, and he accomplished it.
