Simulating Competition and Logistic Growth

The video explores the concepts of exponential and logistic growth in populations, highlighting the limitations of exponential growth in real-world scenarios. It introduces the logistic growth model, which accounts for carrying capacity and crowding effects. Simulations demonstrate how mutations and competition affect population dynamics. The video concludes by summarizing the core principles of replication, mutation, and competition in evolution, setting the stage for more natural selection processes in the next video.
