BIO 401 On the Origin of Species

This course highlights the historic and modern relationships between the study of biology and the shaping of evolutionary theory. Students learn about Charles Darwin and his contemporaries as well as modern research on evolution and zoology with particular emphasis on zoology, paleontology, and related fields as they develop and persist in British culture. The course co-requisite (BIO 401A Darwin's London) requires travel to London and surrounding areas, allowing greater depth of study on topics ranging from natural selection and evolution to paleontology, the history of the biological sciences, and the vertebrate diversity of England.
