Exploring Evolution and Speciation - Lesson Plan

The video explores evolution and speciation, starting with Darwin's theory of natural selection. It explains the four mechanisms of evolution: mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. The video also covers speciation, including allopatric and sympatric types, and introduces epigenetics as a modern concept that complements Darwin's ideas. Lamarck's early theories are discussed, highlighting the evolving understanding of inheritance and evolution.

What role does genetic drift play in evolution?

How does epigenetics differ from traditional views of evolution?

What was Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck's contribution to the understanding of evolution?
