Evolution

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

In this course, evolution names a change in a population's allele frequencies across generations — the process, not one mechanism driving it.

Show

A population's mix of gene variants can shift generation to generation long before anyone observes a new trait appearing.

Watch for

This course keeps evolution and natural selection distinct; the second is one mechanism of the first, not a synonym.
