TED-Ed: Myths and misconceptions about evolution - Alex Gendler

The video addresses myths about evolution, clarifying that evolution is not about organisms adapting during their lifetimes but rather about genetic mutations that enhance survival and reproduction. It explains that 'survival of the fittest' is a metaphor, emphasizing that evolutionary fitness is about suitability to the environment, not strength. The video also highlights that natural selection occurs at the genetic level, not the organism level, and that evolution is a blind process without a predetermined plan.
