    Disclaimer for viewers: this is an outdated educational film. It includes some politically incorrect and potentially offensive wordage for viewers. It depicts different races and speculates where they come from labeling them into three groups. These are identified as brown, white and yellow referring to those whom have brown pigment in their skin, those of Asian descent and those of a Caucasian skin tone respectively. The film was presented by Encyclopedia Britannica Corporation (:17).
    The opening setting is at the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois. The first few animals shown in montage are a Red and Green McCaw parrot (:20), two toucan birds (:23), an elephant (:24), a giraffe (:36), zebra (:39), a hippo (:43), tiger (:45), and a polar bear (:50). Students are seen crowding around an animal pen (:58) prior to the title screen (1:10). Within the pen, two polar bears stand up (1:17). A flamingo (1:51) appears just before children visit a parrot (1:58). The film then switches to black and white footage to symbolize how much harder it would be to identify the animals if they were not in color (2:07). The various shades and species of birds is compared to the various shades of humans (2:39). The film pans around to show the variety of people and heritages at the zoo (2:43). Here is where the film notes at the time, scientists were dividing people into three different groups and the colors are pointed to (2:51). Three boys take to a small train ride which moves them around the park (3:41). Rides at a carnival are filmed (3:51) including a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster (4:02). The film then shows an amination of a sperm heading to an egg (5:30) and how skin tone is derived from genes. The same three boys from earlier play in a fun house mirror (6:42). The African Oryx (6:53) is compared to the zebra (6:57). These two animals, though similar cannot mate and this is also true of Dromedary and the Bactrian camel (7:09). A walrus and seal swim through waters together (7:28) as another example of animals which are similar though cannot mate. Humans, however, regardless of their appearance or heritage can mate and produce offspring (7:39). A father and son peer into the pen of the white wolf’s pen (8:08). Two young boys search for this son at the wolf’s pen (8:30) and as they approach, they question why this wolf is white while most are grey. The narrator explains that this trait, in addition to the trait that makes a silver fox (9:08) versus a red fox (9:13), is simply a mutation that occurred over time at random. Dolphins jump in and out of the water for tourists’ delight (9:24). The dolphin was thought to have once lived on land and by certain gene mutations, traded its limbs for flippers (9:54). The early history of man is depicted through diagram showing the first known humans came from Africa (10:52) and likely had more pigment in their skin tones in order to adapt to life in a jungle environment (11:06). From here, human population spread to Asia and Europe and more mutations occurred over time (11:17). In European areas, a lighter skin tone was adapted in order to allow the sun’s rays to penetrate through the skin (11:38). Early humans from the Asiatic race likely crossed Beringia (12:30) and later broke into Native Americans, Eskimos and Latino (12:37). As the mutations have remained regardless of where humans live and travel today, it is noted this is more than likely due to humans learning to adapt the environment to themselves (13:31). The film concludes as the young boys head up to a train station and board one of the trains (14:01). The film was set in the Brookfield Zoo and Riverview Park, Illinois (14:50).

    Here’s what a social guidance film of today should teach: What separates us is any narrative of tribal identity whether you are told that narrative through a negative lens from an outside group or through a positive lens from your insider group.
    Agreeing that your identity hinges on any subgroup or demographic or ancestral or traditional determinant is to contribute to furthering the divisions and animosities you might complain about.
    Be an individual whose identity is self determined rather than defined by anyone else and see everyone else as equal individuals whose minor differences from you can offer you valuable perspectives. Be more evolved than the primate social hierarchy, signaling, and status competition that is also the same in all people, and stop participating in the labeling games we play with ourselves and each other.
    Otherwise, stop complaining about the consequences of the divisive narratives you are agreeing to propel further.

    I know of a great many young people today who would find this film 'offensive' - simply because they don't understand that generations are accompanied by sensibility. The Modernist sensibility of 1967 in this film reasons that science (genetics) offers a truth obfuscated by the social factors of human prejudice - and that these feeble shadows can be swept away easily once people see that, by using REASON, racism is a social dysfunction based on arbitrary biological conditions, not something immanent (actually, I fear that some well thinking, progressive people TODAY believe that reacism IS immanent). Utopian thinking, to be sure (and a utopia in which I spent my formative years) - and on the surface, to us today, naive, but true...It is we today who have failed to alter the social and economic conditions as profoundly as this film wished we could half a century ago. Many things have improved, but a shocking majority have stayed very much the same -and some have even worsened.

      @@jenniferh3479 I couldn't suggest where exactly but, they are finding older skeletal remains in other places. I believe there were several, if you will, sub-species which ended up mixing together. Eventually, 3 were left. The Caucasian, Negroid, and the Mongoloid.
      All the "races" we see today are an offshoot of these.
      There is no Native American race or Hispanic race, or Latino's. Those all are Mongoloids. They all came from the land bridge between Asia and America.
      Blacks never seemed to leave Africa until modern times pretty much.
      It would seem quite odd to think we all came from Africa if the majority of the world is either Mongoloid or Caucasian.
      The only reason Hispanics/Latino's look somewhat like Caucasians to a degree in many of them is because, SPAIN came to the Americas hundreds of years ago and they bred with the Natives. Natives who didn't mix with lighter skinned natives or those conquistadors remained darker skinned and kept their mongoloid characteristics.
      I don't claim to be correct here but, it's my theory and I know many think the same. Even those in the science world who study this exact thing. Though, nobody would be brave enough to call it as they see it in today's fake woke world that doesn't believe in empirical evidence and the scientific method.
      Women can be men and men can be women, or non-binary today.

    12:48 It is mention that eventually one changes by evolution when it gets to colder places. But what about African hair? It was explained here that skin color is due to protection against the sun. But why do Africans have different hair texture? Why did it developed that way and how and why would it change? I think it all started when a mutation that produced a light skin with blue eyes in Africa and that human that was different was isolated by the others but eventually found a partner but another mutation occurred, and so that's how it got started, I think. The same thing happened with slanted eyes humans. I think it's accurate about America's native, especially in South America. I can see Asian features in them. What I don't understand is why I didn't get any asian genes in my DNA test, while having a grandma who was the daughter of a Peruvian who was South American Native predominantly from Incas.
