Simulating The Strange Way Life (Likely) Started takes you on a whirlwind tour from the stinky reasons behind poop odors to the molecular mayhem that might’ve sparked life itself. Derek Muller uses snatom kits, lab simulations and expert tips from big names like Jack Szostak and John Sutherland to show how simple molecules randomly mutate, stick together and “compete” in a proto-evolutionary dance.
You’ll get bite-size lessons on gene mutation, natural selection, kin selection and Richard Dawkins’ “selfish gene” theory—all woven into one fun “life as a simulation” narrative that explains how chemistry may have bootstrapped biology.
