SCI 115SC - Is Evolution True? Your Inner Fish

3 credits
Are we humans just "souped-up" fish?!  How did the human animal come to be what it is?  What evidence of our evolution lies within our own bodies? How are we like fish?  Worms?  Even bacteria? Through paleontology (fossils), genetics, molecular biology, comparative embryology and comparative anatomy - we will reconstruct the history and examine the evidence for the building of human bodies through evolutionary adaptations.  Is evolution true?  We will explore the evidence ranging from biogeography to geology, from molecular biology to physiology, so you can decide.
