Explore the concept of biological evolution with the Amoeba Sisters! This video mentions a few misconceptions about biological evolution before providing a general definition. Then this video provides a description of four different evolutionary mechanisms (gene flow, mutations, genetic drift, and natural selection). Finally, the video presents several lines of evidence for biological evolution including homologies (molecular, anatomical, and developmental), the fossil record, and biogeography.
