Description

Welcome to Evolutionary Biology: Concepts and Modern Developments. In this course, you'll learn:


  1. Introduction to Evolutionary Biology:Explore the historical development of evolutionary thought.Understand the foundational principles of natural selection, adaptation, and the role of mutations in driving evolutionary change.Examine key figures and landmark discoveries that shaped the field.

  1. Genetics and Evolution:Investigate the relationship between genetics and evolution.Explore how genetic variation arises and contributes to evolutionary processes.Examine the role of DNA, genes, and heritability in shaping the evolutionary trajectory of populations.

  1. Microevolution:Dive into the mechanisms and processes that drive microevolutionary changes within populations.Explore concepts such as genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection at the population level.Investigate how microevolutionary forces shape the genetic composition of populations over time.

  1. Macroevolution:Explore the broader patterns and processes of macroevolution that lead to the origin of new species and higher taxonomic groups.Examine the role of speciation, extinction, and adaptive radiation in shaping the diversity of life.Investigate the long-term trends and patterns in the evolution of life on Earth.

  1. Phylogenetics and Human Evolution:Introduce the principles and methods of phylogenetics for reconstructing evolutionary relationships.Explore the evolutionary history of humans, including the evidence from fossil records and molecular genetics.Examine the connections between human evolution and the broader tree of life.

  1. Evolution and Ecology:Investigate the interplay between evolutionary processes and ecological dynamics.Explore how adaptations and evolutionary changes contribute to the ecological success of species.Examine case studies and examples that highlight the intricate relationships between evolution and ecology.
