Beyond Darwinism: Modern Synthesis and Extended Evolutionary Synthesis - Week 1 Lecture 5

This lecture explores objections to Darwin's theory of evolution, examining how these challenges were addressed through the development of modern evolutionary synthesis. Delve into the historical context of criticisms against Darwinism and understand how scientific advancements helped resolve these objections, ultimately leading to the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES). Learn about the integration of genetics, paleontology, and other disciplines that strengthened our understanding of evolutionary processes beyond Darwin's original formulation.
