this class through Lyman Briggs School, Michigan State University.
Evolution
is an interesting area of study that is often of great debate. The controversial
debate surrounding the teaching of evolution is where did human beings
come from? Did we evolve over time from another species, such as apes?
If we did evolve, how did it happen, and why? What mechanisms are responsible
for the change that humans have endured? These are all important questions
when studying evolution. We will do our best to provide you with answers
to these and more using the knowledge of evolutionary mechanisms we have
accumulated in LBS 144, Organismal Biology.
Evolution
defined: Evolution is the change of the frequency of an allele in a given
population.
