我們的地球上住著令人無法置信的多樣生物，是什麼樣的過程造就這個多樣性？為什麼有一些物種和牠們生活的棲地如此「契合」？到底成千上萬的現存和已滅絕的物種是如何產生的？

演化學這個課程便是在探討物種起源和造成生物多樣性的模式和過程，課程設計主要教導學生演化學說的重要概念，單元包括地球歷史、考古化石、系統分類、族群遺傳、天擇、適存度和適應、性擇、種化、演化趨勢、分子演化、演化與發生學、物種滅絕、人類起源等。另外課程中也將探討演化學在現代醫學、公共衛生、農業、心理學、文化研究和保育生物學上的應用。

What makes this diversity happen when our planet is home to incredible versatility? Why are there some species so "fit" with the place where their lives are? How exactly are thousands of existing and decaying species produced?

Evolutionary learning is a course that explores the patterns and processes that cause biological diversity. The course design mainly teaches important concepts that students have in evolutionary learning. The unit includes earth's history, archaeological fossils, system classification, ethnic heritage, habit, survival and adaptability, sexuality, evolutionary trends, molecular evolution, evolutionary and evolutionary learning, species erosion, human origin, etc. In addition, the application of director evolution in modern medicine, public health, agriculture, psychology, cultural research and conservation biology will also be explored during the course.
