A window into evolution


On Friday March 26th Dr. Kajar a professor here at elmira college gave a lecture on evolution. He was to explain evolution to the audience in a comical yet slightly sarcasic manner which due to his personality I knew he would do that being he is not only my bio professor but also my acedemic advisor. He expalained to the audience the miconceptions that are related to the topic of evolution. He stated that their was no process with evolution it was the evolution of gentics that caused it and also that evolution was not only subject to animals. One thing that I liked the lecture is that he related basically everything back to ants. Him being a ant biologist I did not find it surprising that he did hat but it was still interesting non the less. This lecture was very educational because you are able to see the other side of the evolution theory and you can see why it is such a touchy subject with the Catholic Church. His lecture was a big help to open the eyes to the sudents about the different theories and explanations about how many things came to be.
