This course is designed to introduce students to the history of life on earth as it is currently understood by scientists. Scientific explanations for the origins of the earth and life will be discussed. Principles of heredity and evolution will be used to explain life’s progression over time. Adaptations of life will be viewed as progressive challenges to new environments and conditions. A variety of living things such as bacteria, plants, invertebrates, reptiles, birds, and 104 BA mammals will be explored. The development of primates, humans, and civilization will be covered.

This course explores the rich tapestry of life with which we share our world and how we can maintain it. Students will examine conservation management as to its history and develop a model of conservation biology. They will investigate the concept of biodiversity, including species diversity, ecosystem degradation and loss, overexploitation, and exotic species. Methods of maintaining biodiversity will be investigated such as managing ecosystems, managing populations, zoos and gardens, and setting priorities where multiple criteria are involved. Lastly, human factors such as social, economic, and political considerations will be evaluated as they relate to conservation management. Lecture and laboratory.
