4 Credit Hour(s)
Louisiana Common Course Number: CBIO 3643, Evolutionary Biology (Upper Level)

[GBIO]. Knowledge of evolutionary concepts is fundamental to the understanding of biology. The theory of evolution unifies all of the disparate disciplines included within the life sciences. Microevolution explores processes occurring at or below the level of species, including mechanisms of inheritance, reproductive isolation, and speciation. Macroevolutionary concepts operating above the species level include paleontology, biogeography, systematics, phylogeny, and an understanding of human origins. Four hours of lecture per week.
