Expected Learning Outcomes

• Characterize and compare: Describe the development of views on the origin of life's diversity. Compare geographical and ecological speciation, the basic principles of biological systematics, and methods of combating diseases of different nature (viral, bacterial, protozoan, etc.).
• Adhere to rules: Follow the rules for compiling elementary tables and diagrams that demonstrate the evolutionary development of the plant and animal world.
• Operate with terms: Define and use terms such as species, population, evolution, natural selection, and anthropogenesis. Also, define concepts like convergence, divergence, and parallelism.
• Explain key concepts: Articulate the main provisions of the modern theory of evolution, the concept of population as an elementary unit of evolution, the criteria for a species, and the ways of speciation. Explain the evidence of evolution, the types of natural selection, different views on the origin of life, and the stages of human evolution.
• Provide examples: Give examples of organism adaptations and fossil organisms from different geological epochs.
• Express judgments: Discuss the relationship between biological and sociocultural factors in human development.
• Draw conclusions: Conclude on the unity of the organic world, the importance of modeling in evolutionary research, and the unity of the organic world as manifested in its diversity.
• Acknowledge scientific contributions: Understand the significance of scientists' contributions to the development of evolutionary theory.
• Name key groups: List the taxonomic units and the main groups of organisms.

By the end of this course, students will have a deep understanding of the principles of evolution and the diversity of life on Earth. They will be able to apply this biological knowledge to real-life situations and appreciate the complexity of life's history.
