REsearch on Life and The Theory of Everything

Final reflection paper for General Biology 2

Think about the three big topics we covered this semester: evolution, diversity, and ecology. Although many of the concepts and ideas we studied were specific to one topic or another (e.g., the niche is a concept to help us think about organismal ecology), we also saw many examples of ways that these topics were related to one another (e.g., the niche can be thought of as evolutionary adaptations to the environment). Spend some time thinking about how these three big topics are related, and write your own “theory of everything” that explains how evolution, diversity, and ecology affect life on earth. Be sure to draw upon as many specific concepts we talked about in class as you can.
