Abstract
these courses: molecular biology and ecology. Molecular biology aims at analysis on the finest scale; its goal is to explain the functions of an organism in terms of the architecture of its molecules. Ecology, by contrast, employs a global approach; it attempts to explain the interactions of organisms with each other and with the environment, to uncover the significance of each species in the life of others. Within ecology there is a rapidly developing subdivision called human ecology. Those who identify themselves as human ecologists have a temperamental liking for Protagora's aphorism Man is the measure of all things. This statement should not be thought of as a theory, a hypothesis, or even a convention; it merely expresses the attitude of human ecologists who seek to discover the human significance of the living world.
