Offered:Fall 2007
Adams MW 10-11 + rec
This course will explore the emergence of modern evolutionary biology, the ways it has reflected our concepts of life and nature, and the human and social implications of biological theories and ideas. We will focus on some of the central historical figures that have shaped our understanding-Linnaeus, Lamarck, Darwin, Mendel, Galton--and the implications of their ideas for who we are, where we com from, and where we are going.
