Evolution Live: What is evolution and how did the idea evolve?

Описание: Welcome to the first episode of Evolution Live; a free livestreaming course teaching you about the marvel that is evolution from the very basics all the way up to university level, every Thursday at 4pm (UK). This week I'll be giving a brief introduction to the concept of evolution, a bit about what it is and what it isn't, and a look back in time to see how we got to our current understanding.

It's Student's t test, not Fisher's t test, but Fisher popularised it.
