Veritasium: If you don't understand this, you don't understand evolution

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.
