This video has reached a rather large audience for your channel, Congratulations! I found it very pleasing to watch and adding to the great network of YouTube evolution simulator videos and channels. One thing though that I think you might benefit from is something Michael from Vsauce said recently, and I'm going to paraphrase here, " you shouldn't underestimate your audiences comprehension of a subject matter, but instead their knowledge of the vocabulary". If you take this into account I think you will be able to reach a wider audience for your upcoming videos on this subject by spending a touch more time explaining each step of more complicated ideas, especially in future chapters similar to this video's "Understanding evolution", and "Looking at data from the simulation". Your use of 3B1B's Manim is excellent in a quest to teach the masses and your graphs are very helpful, though, perhaps easing viewers into the graphs by explaining the concepts they are showing before the graph instead of during. That will give them less of a distraction and allow from them to grasp the concepts better before going into the actual data. Lastly, one section I think you should be carful of is during your explanation of Pooled Standard Deviation (10:33 -ish), taking a bit more time to explain what that exactly is, with simpler diction, for general audience members who are not as math savvy. Obviously that should apply to any future math concepts covered by this series going forward. I hope these pointers aren't taken as an attack on your work and instead merely as constructive criticisms that I noticed during my viewing experience. I also hope that this series will continue and that your channel will grow to an even wider audience. I look forward to seeing that become a reality.
