Evolutionary Concepts and Vocabulary

This video from MooMooMath and Science covers key vocabulary related to evolution, including acquired traits, diversity, extinction, fitness, speciation, and genetic variation. Each term is explained with examples, such as tattoos for acquired traits and finches for fitness. The video aims to enhance understanding of these concepts, which are fundamental to the study of evolution.
