Introduction to Genetics and Evolution
Duke's Mohamed Noor teaches this genetics and evolution course as the same class he gives incoming Duke undergraduates, built across 12 modules and roughly 3 weeks at 10 hours a week. It opens with the evidence for evolution, then works through transmission genetics, recombination and gene mapping, heritability, population genetics, and molecular evolution, before turning to adaptive behavior, sexual selection, speciation, and phylogenetic trees. Videos are tagged by depth (general or more challenging supplemental content) so you can choose how far into each topic to go, and most modules include a quiz plus a problem set. The course assumes no prior biology coursework and is designed to prepare students for more advanced evolutionary genetics later. Full lectures, readings, and assessments are free to audit; only the certificate costs money.
