This course will introduce students to the process of evolution, evidence for that process and the mechanisms by which evolution occurs through lecture and discussion of scientific literature. Phylogenetic analysis will be used as the framework for understanding evolutionary history and how scientists study evolution. Topics include macroevolutionary patterns and the evolution of life histories, ecological interactions, genes and genomes, and discussion of the controversy in teaching evolution.
