Description:

PQ: Completion of the general education requirement in the biological sciences and prior course in pre-calculus mathematics. This course does not meet requirements for the biological sciences major. This course covers the historical development of theories of heredity and evolution. We begin before Darwin and Mendel; and proceed through the development of cytology and classical genetics, population genetics, and neo-Darwinism. We also discuss evolutionary developmental biology and "eco-evo-devo," as well as the relation between macro-evolution and micro-evolution. This course includes computer simulations for historical and modern simpler models in population biology, as well as the strategy and tactics of mathematical model building . W. Wimsatt. Spring.
