Evolution

As a tribute to Darwin Day, today's entry shall be all about evolution.

Well, I shan't be the one doing all the talking (well, writing actually). I will leave the talking to several Youtube videos that addresses the subject of the day: Evolution.

If you want to read articles instead, TalkOrgins have quite a number of articles pertaining to the topic. Otherwise, check out the following videos!


How Evolution REALLY Works
► Part 1: Natural Selection
► Part 2: Selection and Mutations

Here's a two part series by cdk007. The first part is basically about the mechanism by evolution occurs: Natural selection. The second is about how natural selection weeds out deleterious (AKA bad) mutations and spreads the good ones around.


The Origins
► The Origins of Life - Abiogenesis
► The Origin of the Genetic Code
► The Origin of Sexual Reproduction

This is supposed to be a 5 part series by cdk007. However, only 3 has been completed so far. So let's enjoy those first. I believe the titles of each part is self-explanatory.


Evolution is REAL Science
► Part 1: Human Ancestry
► Part 2: Common Ancestry
► Part 3: Endogenous Retroviruses

This incomplete series by standup4REALscience explains facts in evolution along with the timeline of discoveries. Not bad, clear explanation with helpful diagrams & images.


Evidence for Evolution
► Part 1: Preservation of codons in closely related species
► Part 2: Phylogeny and predictions
► Part 3: Endogenous Retroviruses

This is another 3 part series by cdk007. This series touches on some of the evidence for evolution


Increasing Information in the Genome
► How Evolution cause an Increase in Information, Part I
► How Evolution cause an Increase in Information, Part II

Mutations only destroys information? Don't understand mutations at all? This 2 part series by cdk007 explains


Other miscellaneous video by cdk007
► The Evolution of Sex
► The Evolution of Irreducible Complexity
► The Evolution of Flagellum

Here's some videos dealing with evolution by cdk007. Check them out.

► Part 8: Mislead about Mutations
► Part 9: Transition forms? There's plenty
► Part 10: Common Ancestry explained
► Part 11: Speciation: We've seen it

► Part 13: Fabricating the lies that Evolution is fabricated
► Part 14A: Lying for God and creationism
► Part 14B: Lying for God and creationism

This series by AronRa is super interesting and informative. Though it deals mainly with the "controversy" with creationism but stringed along the series are lots of information on evolution. Watch it!
