Adaptive Radiation and Species Evolution

The video from Moomoomath and Science introduces the concept of adaptive radiation, also known as divergent evolution. It describes how a single species can diversify into multiple species as it spreads into new habitats and food sources. Over time, this leads to populations that differ significantly, eventually forming new species. The video uses finches as an example of adaptive radiation. The video concludes with a reminder to subscribe to the channel for daily math and science content.
