Evolution, Ecology and Behavior

Description

This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and educated citizens.

Course Takeaways

  • The 3.8 billion year history of micro and macro evolution. How they relate, how they are constricted and are integrated.
