Fall semester course: Extension School
This course discusses how understanding mechanisms of animal developmental
genetics helps to explain the scope and patterns of animal diversity.
Particular emphasis is placed on major evolutionary transitions, the origin of
innovations, and the contribution of evolutionary developmental biology to the
current debates on evolution and human biology. Prerequisites: BIOS E-1a and
E-1b, or the equivalent, or permission of the instructor.
