Evolution: How Natural Selection Works

The microcourse reveals the mechanism of natural selection as a scientifically grounded process linking inherited changes and differences in survival and reproduction. You will cover the role of mutations, heritability of traits, selection, and adaptation, and you will see how divergence and species diversity arise from these factors. The course is based on clear biology examples, including observations from the Galápagos Islands and the effects of antibiotics. After completing the course, you will be able to consistently explain why evolution is a fact and apply these ideas to new situations.
