Population Genetics: When Darwin Met Mendel - Crash Course Biology
03 Oct 2015 | Teaching & Reference Material | Contributor(s): CrashCourse
This Youtube video talks about population genetics, which helps to explain the evolution of populations over time by combing the principles of Mendel and Darwin, and by means of the Hardy-Weinberg equation, all in an upbeat, modern and somewhat zany manner.
