An analysis of the mechanisms of evolution from the viewpoint of population genetics. Provides opportunities for students to examine (1) the evidence of evolution: comparative anatomy and biochemistry, fossils and embryology; (2) the mechanisms of evolution: variation in populations, the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium and the forces which disturb it and the effects of selection on gene frequencies; and (3) the results of evolution. Springs. Prerequisite(s): BI 3060 and at least eight credits in Biology at the 2000 level or higher.
