Dive into Veritasium’s epic evolution explainer, where we kick off by asking why poop smells and soon enough you’re tracing life’s origins, gene mutations, and hands-on evolution simulations. From natural selection and inherited traits to kin selection and Dawkins’ “selfish gene,” the video weaves expert insights (Szostak, Sutherland, Masel, Joyce) into a quirky narrative that all leads to a clever simulation twist.
Along the way you’ll spot sponsor plugs for Hostinger, a shout-out to the magnetic Snatoms molecular kit, and links to The Selfish Gene references. There’s even a pre-launch for a tabletop evolution game and tons of thanks to Patreon supporters—proof that understanding evolution can be fun, hands-on, and a bit social.
