This course on evolutionary biology covers various theories of evolution such as Lamarkism and Darwinian theory, as well as concepts like natural selection and punctuated equilibrium. Students will learn about speciation, including Allopatric and sympatric speciation, and different types of evolution. The teaching method includes video lectures on different topics related to evolutionary biology. This course is intended for individuals interested in deepening their understanding of evolutionary processes and mechanisms.
