Evolution 8
It was interesting to see in the video the real life natural selection involving Malaria in Africa. This more than anything else I think really helped me to understand how natural selection works, where the allele that gives the advantage obviously eventually leads to more of that allele. I'd understood that before, however I had always connected it directly with macro evolution. F.or some reason I had always thought of the trait that gives the species an advantage as having to be one of new information. This however is not accurate, the advantage itself is caused by a change in the environment, like everything else with evolution.
