| Goals | The aim of this course is to enable students to explain the fundamental concepts of evolutionary biology, the mechanisms of evolutionary processes, and the evidence supporting evolution, as well as to interpret the origin of life and the emergence of biological diversity from a scientific perspective. |
| Course Content | The concept of evolution, Evolution theories; Evolution models; inorganic evolution, the emergence of life on the cellular evolution and many cell character transition; Plant evolutionary development of animals, evolutionary development, human evolution, Ambient conditions, sexual reproduction, individual changes (variations), natural selection, adaptation (adaptation), remain separate (isolation) mechanisms, genetic drift, evolution theories. |
