Gain a solid understanding of the evidence for evolution, its basic mechanisms, the process of speciation, and the remarkable diversity of life in the world today. Look at how new evidence, ideas and technologies are contributing to evolutionary science. Explore the human fossil record, the use of DNA in reconstructing evolutionary history, and the relevance of evolution to modern agriculture and medicine.
