关于课程
本课程介绍了进化,生态的原则,是学生们开始学习生物和环境的入门。它讨论的方式给所有耶鲁大学本科生提供了主要思路和成果,最新进展与成果,已远远超出其边界问题:观念,机制和过程,应该成为所有公民的生物学家和教育工具的一部分。
About the Course
This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and educated citizens.
Course Structure:This Yale College course, taught on campus three times per week for 50 minutes, was recorded for Open Yale Courses in Spring 2009.
