In this video, Tenea Hibbler from Brophy College Preparatory explains artificial selection and convergent evolution. Artificial selection involves humans selecting desirable traits in species, affecting genetic diversity. Convergent evolution occurs when similar environmental conditions lead to similar traits in different species. The video also includes a practice session on data representation and concludes with key takeaways about the impact of human actions and environmental changes on genetic diversity and evolution.
