-
4.00 Credits
Credit 4 hours. Prerequisite: 12 hours of biology and junior standing or permission of the Department Head. Knowledge of evolutionary concepts is fundamental to the understanding of biology. The theory of evolution unifies all of the disparate disciplines included within the life sciences. Microevolution explores processes occurring at or below the level of species, including mechanisms of inheritance, reproductive isolation, and speciation. Macroevolutionary concepts operating above the species level include palaeontology, biogeography, systematics, phylogeny, and an understanding of human origins. Four hours of lecture per week.

Credit 4 hours. Prerequisite: GBIO 151 and GBIO 153, or permission of the department Head. An introduction to the use of biological information in civil and criminal in civil and criminal investigations of deceased humans and wildlife. Topics will include basic principles of human decomposition, forensic anthropology, botany, entomology, odontology, and pathology. Laboratory component will include mock crime scene scenarios, emphasizing methods and procedures for recovery of crime scene evidence, forensic entomology, and decompositions rates. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
