International Mindedness in Biology - Lucy

Biology 11 - Taxonomy and Evolution

In these two units the emphasis is on the relatedness and evolutionary relationships between different organisms through morphological, physiological and molecular perspectives. In examining the vast number of interconnected organisms through the evolutionary timeline, students can gain insight into the fundamental similarities between all living creatures. In examining mammals and eventually human beings, students will recognize from a biological standpoint that the differences we perceive are biologically minute and insignificant in the larger ecosystem and/or human society. The important issue to address is the interdependence of all members inhabiting the earth, promoting a sense of global community.
