The Theory of Evolution – 4.1B, 4.2, 4.3

About the lecture

In this first mini-lecture, we look at the history of the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. We discuss the work of both Darwin and Wallace and their early ideas around the theory. Following this we describe Darwin's theory and then finish with how antibiotic resistant bacteria provides modern day evidence to Darwin's theory.
