Lecture 14 Play Video	Lecture 14: Darwin and the Origin of Species I The development of Darwinian thought; explain how life might have originated on this planet
Lecture 15 Play Video	Lecture 15: Darwin and the Origin of Species II The development of Darwinian thought; explain how life might have originated on this planet
Lecture 16 Play Video	Lecture 16: Population Genetics I: Mendel, Darwin, Hardy, and Weinberg Describe the experiments of Mendel and use Mendel's principles to solve novel problems; describe the Hardy-Weinberg law and explain the conditions that must be met for it to hold true
Lecture 17 Play Video	Lecture 17: Population Genetics II: Mutation and Genetic Drift explain the consequence of violating each of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law and explain when a population is in equilibrium.
Lecture 18 Play Video	Lecture 18: Population Genetics III: Natural Selection and Gene Flow
Lecture 19 Play Video	Lecture 19: Natural Selection in the Laboratory and in the Wild describe Darwin's theories and how the principles of natural selection can lead to speciation.

Lecture 21 Play Video	Lecture 21: Sexual Selection explain the consequence of violating each of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law and explain when a population is in equilibrium.
Lecture 22 Play Video	Lecture 22: Species and Speciation I describe Darwin's theories and how the principles of natural selection can lead to speciation.
Lecture 23 Play Video	Lecture 23: Species and Speciation II give examples of adaptation and of both allopatric and sympatric speciation.
Lecture 24 Play Video	Lecture 24: Phylogenetics use cladistic analysis to better understand and explain the phylogenetic relatedness among organisms.
