MINISODE: Happy Birthday Chucky D

Did you know that a lot of Darwin's evidence for evolution through natural selection came from experiments that he conducted at home? During this pandemic, many of us find ourselves working from home...productive or otherwise. In this first ever minisode of WTF Biology, I describe a simple experiment that Darwin did to understand competition and natural selection. This experiment is so simple that 1000s of school children have replicated it. Thanks, as always, to Dr. Ron Deckert for the music. Find him on SoundCloud.

Check out my YouTube channel for Cool Ass Nature Shit videos. In these 2-ish minute videos, I walk around the forest by my house (or wherever I happen to be) and point out shit that I think is cool. You can find bonus content, including exclusive Cool Ass Nature Shit videos, at patreon.com/wtfbiology. There is a $1/month tier that grands you access to a bunch of bonus content and a $5/month tier that grants you access to exclusive Cool Ass Nature Shit videos.
