Course objectives:
|
Hlavním cílem předmětu je objasnit studentům principy biologické evoluce. Přednášky jsou zaměřeny na vývoj evoluční teorie, základní principy mikroevoluce i makroevoluce, koevoluční procesy a problematiku vymírání. Studenti absolvující předmět budou schopni správně definovat a popsat základní pojmy a mechanismy evoluce, kriticky hodnotit pohledy na vznik a vývoj života. Semináře se věnují specifickým tématům evoluční biologie jako např. sociální darwinismus, teorii sobeckého genu, evoluci sexuálního a asexuálního rozmnožování, vývoj druhové diverzity atd.
|
|
Requirements on student
|
Students must submit seminar paper and pass test.
|
|
