Veritasium’s deep dive kicks off with the stinky truth about why poop smells and zooms back 4 billion years to life’s molecular beginnings. You’ll get a clear explanation of gene mutations, hands-on evolution simulations and how natural selection sculpts every creature we see today.
Next up, it unpacks what traits actually get passed on—covering kin selection and Richard Dawkins’ “Selfish Gene” idea—and even suggests our research is basically running a giant, real-time evolution simulator. Along the way, the video features top scientists, cool visuals (hello, emperor penguins!) and a few surprises that’ll change how you think about evolution forever.
