Veritasium’s deep dive into 4 billion years of evolution tackles everything from the stinky mystery of poop to the very first spark of life. Derek Muller walks through gene mutation, how we simulate evolution, and the nitty-gritty of natural selection—showing what really gets passed down and why some traits feel so “selfish.”
Along the way he unpacks kin selection, Richard Dawkins’ famous Selfish Gene idea, and even how our whole understanding of evolution can feel like a giant experiment. It’s an informal romp through billions of years of biology that’ll leave you rethinking just how weird—and fascinating—life really is.
