Basics in Evolution

Public seminar series

The MGSE seminar series "Basics in Evolution" aims to provide a broad overview on the basics of evolutionary biology as well as on current research in this field, including the opportunity to discuss related issues and questions.

The topics of the seminars are partly based on the textbook “Evolutionary Analysis” (5^th edition) by Jon C. Herron and Scott Freeman and all participants are requested to read the respective chapters in preparation for each seminar.
