Molecular Evolution



Molecular evolution refers to the study of changes in living systems that have eventually led to the formation of unicellular and multicellular organisms. In this talk, we will understand how species evolve, understand a lot about ourselves, and how human evolution is taking place over the last couple hundred thousand years. We will also get a glimpse at the molecular wars that have been ongoing between microbes, between microbes and humans, and how some of the ancient genes that we inherited from our primate ancestors are helping us fight these wars.
