Instructor: Dr. Shweta Rana
In this course,
we discuss the origin of life and its further evolution into different forms. The course will also cover how interactions
between different forms lead to the
concepts of ecosystems, populations, biogeochemical cycles, biogeography, natural selection and speciation.
The course content will include discussions
of human evolution as well. Topics covered in the course include Darwin
and the theory of natural selection, the Galapagos islands and the Darwin’s
finches, Microevolution, Hardy-Weinberg principles, Selections, Gene Flow, Isolating Mechanisms, Allopatric,
Peripatric, Parapatric and Sympatric Speciation,
Punctuated Equilibrium, Macroevolution, Cladistics, Origin of Life, Primate Evolution, Human
evolution, Artificial selection and genetic engineering.
