How’s your “biological literacy”? Immerse yourself in the history of science and learn the fundamentals of evolutionary biology while exploring the cultural context of its development. Explore Mendel’s principles of classical genetics, and investigate Darwin’s theory of natural selection. While reading historical monographs and period literature, examine the philosophical and ethical quandaries that arise alongside modern evolutionary thought. Explore science Web sites and complete interactive quizzes. See why these theories still drive our scientific research and fuel our debates today. Accompanying texts sold separately.
