JoinCase Study: Chimpanzee Droppings Lead Scientists to Evolutionary Discovery
This case study explores the evolution of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) from SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) and how scientists approach problems. The goal is for students to get a sense of how questions are formulated and methods are employed in the field, to understand the contribution of basic and applied science toward fostering our understanding of the natural world, and to explore a case on viral evolution.
