The heritable genetic basis for biological variation among populations. Concepts emphasize models (from theory), estimators (using data), and assumptions (via simulation). Topics focus on the Big Five: mutation, recombination, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection. Prerequisite: BISC 202 and STAT 201, both with a minimum grade of C-. Recommended: BISC 300.
