Outcomes
Understand the underlying causal principles of evolutionary diversification.
Apply these principles to understand historical and contemporary evolutionary scenarios.
Identify ~100 core taxa in the tree of life, their characteristics, and understand the relationships among them.
Use basic conceptual and analytical tools to describe complex relationships within the tree of life.
Become familiar with a number of experimental and synthetic approaches to analyzing and discovering evolutionary processes (microevolution) and establishing evolutionary patterns (macroevolution).
Write and discuss knowledgeably about the dimensions of evolutionary issues that require decisions in our society.
