PREREQUISITE: ENGL1012
Communities are not just about people. A biological community refers to all populations of all species occupying a specified area. This course will examine the communities (human and non-human) of one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth: The Galapagos Islands. Participants will learn about the diversity of wildlife and environmental conditions that gave rise to Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. The course will promote an understanding of the impact of human activity on the rest of the natural world and the interdependence among all living things.
