Evolution over time can follow several different patterns. Factors such as environment and predation pressures can have different effects on the ways in which species exposed to them evolve. Figure 1.1 shows the three main types of evolution: divergent, convergent, and parallel evolution.

The Evolution workshop will be held in the Math and Science Center, Room 507, Emory University. The Math and Science Center is to the right of the parking lot, behind Atwood Hall (the chemistry building), next to the B. Jones Building. The Math and Science Center is "Building 120" on this printable campus map.

According to Flock of Dodos, Discovery Institute has a huge budget for its intelligent design program that dwarfs the resources of evolution’s supporters. “The Discovery Institute is truly the big fish in this picture, with an annual budget of around 5 million dollars,” Olson tells the audience. Later, a woman is shown repeating the same figure. The clear impression left with viewers is that the Institute spends $5 million a year to promote intelligent design.

Alan D. Gishlick is a Post Doctoral Scholar of the National Center For Science Education, a non-profit organization dedicated to defending the teaching of evolution in public schools. His research interests include the functional transitions in the history of life, their role in concepts of biological identity and their uses in interpreting patterns of evolution. He is ... interested in the teaching of the history of life; and the interface between science and religion, especially as it relates to biological evolution. He received a Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University.

Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Unfortunately for the reputations of mathematicians as universal experts, the track record of mathematical commentators on evolution has not been brilliant. Fred Hoyle was whip-smart when it came to maths in school, but he's the promulgator of that persistent but stupid probabilistic argument against evolution ("tornado in a junkyard"). It's not that he didn't understand probability: He just had no clue how to apply it to the process of natural selection.
