In the MEME programme, “evolution” is studied in all its facets. As a consequence, MEME has a very broad multi-disciplinary focus. Evolutionary biology seeks to understand the functioning of the living world (from bacteria to humans) by viewing organisms and their interactions as the result of a historical process that is driven by natural and sexual selection, the interplay of genetics, epigenetics and development, the interactions of organisms with their biotic and abiotic environment, biogeography, and macro-evolutionary processes like speciation. Modern evolutionary biology is not primarily focused on understanding the history of life and the course of evolution in the past, but mainly addresses evolution as it is happening now.
