These include historical and philosophical issues, origin and early development of life, general features in evolution of major life forms, use of systematics and the influence of molecular tools, the range of mechanisms thought to underlie evolutionary change, and current findings in human evolution. The laboratory will be focused around a population genetic problem for which the class will gather and analyze molecular data, with the goal of producing a publishable scientific study.
