This Veritasium video unpacks evolution from its very beginnings—why poop smells bad, how molecules became life, gene mutations and simulations—to the core mechanics of natural and kin selection and the gene-centric “selfish gene” idea. It’s a fast-paced, visual journey that shows how tiny molecular quirks drive massive changes in every living thing.
With insights from top researchers and real-time simulations, Derek Muller turns a complex 25-minute topic into an entertaining crash course, making evolution feel like the ultimate strategy game that’s been running on Earth for billions of years.
