The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the basics of evolutionary biology, both through the acquisition of knowledge about the concepts, processes, mechanisms that control evolution and its outcome, as well as the way scientific research approaches the basic questions that arise about evolution in a multitude of scientific fields. Through an interdisciplinary approach, from molecular biology and genetics to mathematical models and the philosophical extensions of evolutionary theory, students cultivate their own point of view and critical thinking.
Students who successfully complete the course will have achieved the following learning objectives:
• they will know the basic concepts of Evolutionary Biology,
• they will understand the action of evolutionary forces,
• they will understand the effects of the combined action of the forces of evolution on organisms,
• they will have familiarized themselves with the methodology of studying evolution.
