Overview

Evolutionary biology is the study of the history and mechanisms of biological evolution, which involves the formation and development of new species over time. Evolutionary and Comparative Genetics are two branches of evolutionary biology that focus on understanding how genetic differences between individuals, populations and species are generated, maintained and used. These areas allow us to explore fundamental aspects of evolutionary change, such as adaptation, speciation, and population genetics. By investigating the genetic basis of evolutionary changes, these areas of study can provide insights into how and why different species evolved in different ways, how organisms adapt to their changing environments, and how different populations and species interact. In addition, these areas of study can help inform research into human diseases, biodiversity conservation, and the management of agricultural and livestock production.
