Adaptive Evolution is driven by natural selection. Natural selection is not “survival of the fittest,” but rather “reproduction of the fittest.” Evolution can occur at many different speeds based on the strength of the selection driving it. This [course_title] explores concepts in evolution and natural selection through the influences of genetics, interactions between populations, mutations, and the role of the environment. The role of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships is explored through molecular evidence, fossil records, and anatomical similarities.
