CANCELLED Biology's Saul Lectures: Human impacts on evolution in the Galapagos, talk by Dr. Luis De León, U Mass, Boston

Human development is influencing patterns of biological evolution in unprecedented ways. In this talk, I discuss how these effects are playing out in the iconic Darwin’s finches of the Galapagos. This example illustrates how humans are a novel and potent evolutionary force in nature. (Refreshments) Dr. Luis De León is this year’s Saul Speaker, sponsored by the George B. Saul II Lecture Fund and the Department of Biology. http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/bio
