Smologies #19: EVOLUTION with Dr. John McCormack
Dr. John McCormack has short brown hair and a short beard and is wearing an olive green short-sleeved field shirt. He stands outside in a leafy forest, looking to his left and holding binoculars used in his ornithological work. The SmOlogies logo is in the lower left corner.
Another G-rated edit of a classic! This Smologies with Dr. John McCormack of Occidental College is all about evolution, Darwinism, birds, bacteria, natural selection and how our mutations can be our greatest strengths. Also: breaking down terms like genetic drift and Linnaean taxonomy and why Charles Darwin had to face haters under his own roof. (For the adult version, the full-length episode is linked below.)
