This title explores the central problem in biology, why and how did life become so diverse? Through the text students explore how diversity evolves in microbial populations that occupy some of the simplest environments imaginable, laboratory test tubes. The experiments throughout the text allow students to watch the evolutionary process unfold, while tracking diversification in both phenotype and genotype along the way.
These experiments are combined with new insights coming from next-generation sequencing, they can tell us much more about the sorts of problems and questions related to adaptation and diversity.
