PickVidsBest Evolution & genetics Videos
「Evolution & genetics」下面有57部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门5部，适合还没学过的人；进阶10部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向41部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的1部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是讲解，所以它们的共同点是用一个图像或类比把一个概念补上。常出现的频道包括Veritasium、The Royal Institution、TED。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Evolution and genetics: natural selection, Dawkins, DNA, genomics, heritability, CRISPR, human origins, paleontology, evolutionary biology, genetics of intelligence.如果只看三部，就从《DEF CON 25 - John Sotos - Genetic Diseases to Guide Digital Hacks of the Human Genome》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Once you understand game theory, you understand the world.》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《DNA animation (2002-2014) by Drew Berry and Etsuko Uno wehi.tv #ScienceArt》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
