Principles Of Evolution
Course Number:
BMS1061
Course Description:
Understanding the principles of evolution is essential for the study of biosciences. This module will embed an appreciation of why organisms look, behave and interact with others in the way they do. Students will study the central principles that have led to the diversity of life on Earth today. We will explore the process of natural selection including how the theory was developed and the evidence that supports it, as well as other forces responsible for evolutionary processes. We will study a range of examples including how genomes evolve, how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, coevolution and how humans evolved to be as we are today. Students will use analytical tools in evolutionary biology research to complete a hands-on laboratory practical.
