Inside nearly every cell in your body is a two-meter-long strand of DNA bundled into a space a thousand times thinner than a human hair. If you unrolled the DNA from all your cells, it would stretch from the Earth to the Sun and back over 600 times. The DNA in your body could fill a stack of paper 4 billion miles high. When your cells divide, they make a copy of your DNA with a mistake occurring in roughly one in a billion nucleotide copies. These "errors" are the raw material for evolution.
