Veritasium’s latest video kicks off with the curious case of why poop smells bad and then zooms out to the big picture: the origin of life, gene mutations, and how we can actually simulate evolution in a tabletop-style demo. Along the way you get a crash course in natural selection, inherited traits, kin selection and Richard Dawkins’ famous Selfish Gene—all wrapped up in slick animations and real-time simulations.
Top biologists like Jack Szostak, Joanna Masel and Gerald Joyce chip in with expert insights, and you even get links to further reading, Snatoms molecular models, Hostinger discounts, Veritasium merch, a newsletter sign-up and a pre-launch for a limited-edition game. Science class never felt so interactive!
