Talk:Evolution/Outline4

Change over time
statement that evolution refers to the fact that species change over time and that different species are related, as well as concepts/models that explain how and why species change over time and are related

evidence that species change over time
and history of life (this would include MCJ's 7, 8, 12, 13 - the story of life and the evidence are infused)

basic genetics
assortment, mutation all explain how, even were all life descended from a common ancestor, life can take so many different forms

natural selection and drift
explain why some forms endure and others do not

special cases
sexual selection, kin selection

historical background
the move away from Linneus and Lamarck to Darwin and Wallace to Mendel to Fisher, Dobzhansky, Sewell, Wright, Simpson, etc, to present. Can we tell this story in a way that emphasizes the recursive relationship between observation (and when appropriate experimental data) and theory? I think we should try.

recent developments
coevolution, evo-devo
