Evolutionary
biology uses a broad historical and analytical
approach to understand the origins, adaptations,
and distributions of plants and animals.
Students in the Department of Anatomy’s
Evolutionary Biology Track will be trained in
human anatomy and prepared for careers in
research and teaching in such fields as
comparative anatomy, biomechanics, biogeography,
ecology, systematics, and vertebrate
paleontology. Faculty in the Department of
Anatomy and affiliated institutions, like the
Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, have active research
programs in many areas of evolutionary biology
and can provide diverse technical expertise and
research opportunities. Case and affiliated
institutions have a variety of resources
available including research libraries, x-ray
and CT facilities, dissection labs, cellular and
molecular biology labs, extensive recent and
fossil vertebrate and invertebrate collections,
molding and casting facilities, and fossil
preparation labs, allowing students to pursue a
wide range of research in evolutionary biology.
