Explore a 31-minute lecture by Marcus Aguiar (Unicamp and ICTP-SAIFR, Brazil) on "Simulating the Origin of Species" presented at the ICTP-SAIFR School and Workshop on the Physics of Life (March 24-30, 2025). Discover computational approaches to modeling speciation processes and how physics concepts can be applied to understand evolutionary biology. Learn about mathematical models that simulate how new species emerge through various mechanisms including genetic drift, natural selection, and geographic isolation. The presentation offers insights into interdisciplinary research connecting physics principles with biological evolution.
