An introduction to biology through the integrating theme of evolution. The first third of the course introduces the unifying principles of evolution upon which all biological study is based. The second third is a phylogenetic survey of the biodiversity originating via those evolutionary processes. The course concludes with an exploration of the ecological processes that govern the organization of populations, communities and ecosystems. Laboratory work is required. Prerequisite: MAT 110 or basic skills in math.
