Evolutionary Biology

Evolutionary biology is a field of science that studies the origins and patterns of evolution of living organisms, from their earliest ancestries to their present forms. It is a highly interdisciplinary field that draws from genetics, molecular biology, zoology, astrophysics and other sciences to better understand the dynamics of evolution. Evolutionary biology has wide-reaching applications and implications – it is fundamental to understanding the diversity of life forms on Earth, can help shed light on the evolution of specific diseases, and can help in the development of new crops or the conservation of endangered species.
