Discover unique traces of life from millions of years ago and follow the evolution of species from the depths of geologic time.
What you will learn
Your studies will focus on the fossil record of ancient organisms and their living descendants. You will learn to analyse the distribution and function of fossil animals and plants, reconstructing their evolutionary paths. Such evolutionary relationships are then tied to environmental data to reconstruct the fossil species way of life. You will learn about human, plant and animal diversity, morphology and history.
