Darwin's theory of Evolution states: "Evolution is the net change in organisms or a population over the span of many generations.”

This change in organisms or populations happens through DNA mutations and reconbination and is passed down to the next generation through reproduction.
In this video we tackle what is evolution and address what people misunderstand about evolution and how it happens. So, here’s a compressed crash course on evolution - from the mutations and recombinations in the DNA which create diversity to environmental factors like natural selection and genetic drift.
