Ever wondered how life kicked off from simple molecules? In this video, Derek Muller teams up with top biologists to simulate the weird chemistry behind life’s origin, dive into why poop smells bad, unpack gene mutations, and show how early molecules could snap together, replicate and get “selected” over time.
Along the way you’ll pick up the essentials of natural selection, inheritance quirks, kin selection (why helping relatives can boost your own genes) and Richard Dawkins’ Selfish Gene concept—all wrapped up in a fun, interactive simulation of evolution’s greatest hits.
