Evolution

Evolution means change over time. We often think about it in terms of biological evolution. But, in fact, a lot outside biology makes sense in the light of evolution. At IEAS@AU we study evolutionary processes across fields and disciplines in both contemporary and historical contexts. We combine cutting edge knowledge, skills and expertise from the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities in a series of interdisciplinary research projects. See IES People.

"Darwin i Danmark" bliver til "Interdisciplinary Evolutionary Studies, Aarhus Universitet (IES@AU)"

Under ombygningen kan der forventes enkelte udfald på siderne. Indtil da henvises til Darwinarkivet under evolution.dk. Her finder du en let tilgængelig adgang til de danske Darwinoversættelser, samt Darwins udgivelser, manuskripter og breve på engelsk. Vi beklager ulejligheden.
