This course introduces students to the big picture of life on Earth. It’s important for young people on the brink of independence to appreciate the fact that they live on a small, crowded planet among millions of other kinds of organisms. The diversity is awesome. It is good for them to know, too, that life has a history on Earth, and that for virtually all of that history humans were not players. It is our hope that, in their efforts to answer the question, “What is life?” and in their introduction to diversity, students will develop a personal interest in life in all its forms.
