Every living organism you have ever seen has been the result of evolution. If we were to look back on humans millions of years ago, we would have looked drastically different compared to how we look today. In this episode, we discuss the five main factors that contribute to evolution: Genetic drift, gene flow, mutations, non-random mating, and natural selection. We explore the effects each factor and examples of how they allow a population to undergo evolution.
