Over the last 3.5 billion years, life has taken on a vast array of forms in a multitude of environments. In this class, we will use evolutionary analysis to reveal the key patterns and processes that produced this amazing diversity of life. Topics will include: the evidence for evolution, the nature of variation, adaptive and random evolutionary processes in natural populations, mechanisms of speciation, phylogenetic reconstruction with molecular and morphological data, and major events in the history of life on earth. Motivating examples will be drawn from across the domains of life. |
