This course is designed to introduce the general concepts in evolutionary biology, including theories, models, and experimental evidences. Students are highly recommended to take genetics or equivalent subjects before taking this course. Students are required to participate the discussion sessions, and some of the materials require extra works after the class. Several homework assignments will be distributed during the semester. 

課程目標
The aims of this courses are to let students understand the concepts and theories of evolutionary biology.
