Veritasium’s latest video breaks down evolution from the ground up—literally asking why poop stinks—then tracing life’s origins, gene mutations, and how natural selection really works. Along the way you’ll see fun simulations of evolution in action, learn what traits get passed on (and why kin selection matters), and dive into Richard Dawkins’ “selfish gene” concept with insights from top researchers.
It’s an engaging, jargon-light crash course packed with chapter markers, expert interviews (think Jack Szostak and Joanna Masel), handy resource links, and even a cheeky nod to molecular model kits—perfect for anyone who wants to get evolution without the textbook snooze fest.
