Description:

Darwin's proposal, in 1859, of natural selection as a mechanism to explain how evolution operates set in motion one of the greatest scientific and intellectual revolutions of all time. This course traces the development of this idea from before Darwin to the present day focusing on the progressive accumulation of scientific evidence supporting evolution and the continuing refinement and expansion of evolutionary theory. Today, while evolution remains controversial with certain groups, its scientific validity has been well established, and it has become the fundamental principle upon which all modern biology is based.
