| BIO 126 - Evolution and Modern Biology |
|
An explanation of evolution at the non-technical level, including DNA, proteins, cell metabolism, gene mutation, variation, natural selection, and speciation. Digressions in the first part of the course include topics such as viruses, cancer, genetic engineering, and topical issues of the moment. The second part of the course is a survey of the history of life on Earth, focusing ultimately on human ancestry, but as a series of adaptational speciation events through time, increasing diversity in some lineages (adaptive radiation) and diminishing diversity in others (finally leading to the topic of extinction).
