The Most Controversial Idea in Biology
This Veritasium video busts evolution myths by starting with the everyday (why poop stinks) and zooming all the way back to life’s chemical origins, gene mutation and DIY evolution simulations. Along the way it breaks down natural selection and the surprisingly powerful logic of “kin selection.”
Then it tackles Richard Dawkins’ famous “selfish gene” concept—genes as the real drivers of evolution—and even teases the idea that our entire reality could just be one big evolutionary simulation.
