Evolution

Here are things of interest and help that relate to the Evolution class. I have hunted through this site and find only supplemental materials and no chapters to read.

Here is a link to tons of [|phylogeny programs]on the web - the list is overwhelming, but if you want to really get into this stuff, here you go! One of the programs listed at the site is the MEGA program that was modeled in class - pretty cool!
