Summary Introduction
To discuss:
How evolutionary history and ecological factors affect the distribution of species.
Concept introduction:
Earth was not always the way we see it today. Over billions of years, the differing environmental conditions (like early Earth atmosphere, ice age and more), evolution, continental drift, extinction and many more, have shaped the face of Earth. Thus, to survive and reproduce, different species have moved around to find suitable niches on land as well as water and adapted to the new ecological factors.

Current treatments are focused on highlyactive antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HAART usually consists of an orally delivered drug cocktail containingtwo different reverse transcriptase inhibitors and one other drug, such as a protease inhibitor. Question: Develop a pharmacokinetic model of HAART treatment. Consider all 3 drugs. Make sure to include adiagram that illustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables.
