5 Ways Humans Are Influencing Species Evolution

The video explores how human activities like urbanization, fishing, and hunting drive the evolution of various species. It highlights examples such as coyotes and white ibis adapting to urban environments, mosquitoes evolving in human-made spaces, and the impact of fishing and hunting on fish and bighorn sheep populations. These changes underscore the profound influence humans have on the natural world, often accelerating evolutionary processes.
