#naturalselection

A hawk flies over a snowy field.

It eats the brown mice.

The white ones survive and have babies.

After a few generations - the field is almost entirely white mice.

Nobody planned that. That's natural selection.

In this video we break down exactly how natural selection works - the three ingredients it needs, what Darwin found in the Galápagos, the peppered moth story (confirmed by science in 2018), and why bacteria are the fastest example of evolution you'll ever see.

What you'll learn:

- What natural selection is and the three things it needs to work

- How Charles Darwin's finches showed natural selection in action

- The peppered moth

- a population that changed in decades, then changed back

- How antibiotic resistance proves natural selection is happening right now

- Why Alfred Russel Wallace deserves more credit than he gets
