关于课程
本课程介绍了进化和生态的原则，是学生开始学习生物学和环境的介绍。它的讨论为耶鲁大学的所有本科生提供了主要的想法和结果。最新的进展和结果远远超出了它的边界：概念、机制和过程应该是所有公民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.
