Evolución
Teoría sintética
Rosaura Ruiz Gutiérrez
Rosaura Ruiz Gutiérrez
En este curso te hablaremos acerca de la denominada teoría sintética de la evolución, que a mediados del siglo XX integró la teoría darwinista con diversos campos de la biología; conocerás a los principales actores involucrados en su construcción, así como sus aportaciones más importantes; identificarás las condiciones tanto científicas, como sociales y políticas que posibilitaron la integración de esta teoría y adquirirás habilidades de argumentación ligadas a la biología evolutiva desde una perspectiva histórica.
