Professor Dave explains the tree of life, covering natural selection, speciation, and the classification of organisms. He discusses the early history of life, the fossil record, and the division of Earth's history into eons. The video also explores phylogeny, taxonomy, and the domains and kingdoms of life, concluding with a look at the classification hierarchy and a preview of future topics.
