Evolutionary Biology – Intro to Comparative Anatomy and Phylogenetics

Aristotle said that nature could only be understood through observation, analysis, and classification. Humans have devised many ways to observe, analyze, and classify the natural world. Join our friends from the Johns Hopkins Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution to learn about their favorite tools in evolutionary biology, comparative anatomy, and phylogenetics.

This interactive workshop will start with Dr. Donald Morgan and PhD candidate Savannah Cobb discussing how comparative anatomy helps us understand living and fossil animals. In the afternoon, Dr. EJ Huang will introduce phylogenetics and explain how scientists determine evolutionary relationships.
