Overview
Evolution is one of the most interesting fields within biology, and one that’s central to a complete understanding of modern biology. We begin this Introduction to Biology - Evolution course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University by tracing how Charles Darwin developed a theory of evolution by natural selection and the many ways that biologists have advanced the science of evolution since his lifetime. We then go on to learn about the many applications of evolutionary biology to our everyday lives.
What you'll learn
- How biologists advanced the science of evolution since Charles Darwin; the many applications of evolutionary biology to our everyday lives.
