Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamental concepts of evolutionary biology through a comprehensive lecture series. Delve into various theories of evolution, including Lamarckism and Darwinian theory, and compare the theory of evolution by natural selection with the punctuated equilibrium model. Examine the process of speciation, distinguishing between allopatric and sympatric speciation. Investigate convergent, divergent, and parallel evolution, as well as the mechanisms of natural selection, including directional, disruptive, and stabilizing selection. Learn about microevolution, macroevolution, phylogenetic trees, and the recapitulation theory. Gain insights into developmental biology, focusing on modularity in insects, and explore the origins of species through different speciation processes.

Syllabus

Convergent evolution and divergent evolution vs parallel evolution.
Allopatric vs sympatric speciation.
Punctuated equilibrium.
