tl;dr
Derek Muller dives into evolution starting with the tiny details (ever wondered why poop smells? It’s all about protein breakdown) and zooms out to life’s origins, random gene mutations, and a hands-on simulation that shows natural selection in action. You’ll see how small molecular tweaks can snowball into big survival wins and exactly what traits get handed down.
Next, he unpacks kin selection (why we favor our relatives), the “selfish gene” concept (genes as crafty replicators), and leans on insights from experts like Richard Dawkins, Jack Szostak, and John Sutherland. It’s a fun, fast-paced tour that makes you rethink how evolution really works.
