The video “The Surprising Truth About 4 Billion Years of Evolution” takes you on a whirlwind tour from the stinky origins of life to the fine details of gene mutation, simulated evolution and the nuts-and-bolts of natural selection. You’ll learn how traits get passed on, why we sometimes help our kin, and how Richard Dawkins’ Selfish Gene idea fits into the bigger picture—capped off by a live demo of evolution in action.
Along the way, experts like Dr. Jack Szostak and Dr. John Sutherland weigh in, while lively animations, real-world examples (yes, including poop odor!) and friendly commentary make complex science feel surprisingly simple and fun.
