Article by Derek Hough asserting that Darwin would never have believed in neo-Darwinism. He knew that the source of variety was the missing link in his theory.

This article states that the most common misconception people have about evolution is that it is a theory. It then explains that evolution is a FACT and that it is Darwin's explanation of the process of evolution that is the theory.
This article argues that evolution is an observed, natural fact. It then tries to provide answers to many of the problems Creationists may have with the theory of evolution.
This paper shows how evolution tunes the content and frequency of genetic variation to enhance its evolvability, organising genetic systems into hierarchies. Genetic evolution is neither random nor blind.

Recasting of Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" to present evolutionary theory and the pseudo-scientific nature of "creation science" and "intelligent design," by Ronald L. Ecker. Full text available online.
Gene McCarthy, a geneticist, provides an in-depth discussion of macroevolution and its probable causes and, in the process, reviews the history of evolutionary thought.

Group weblog on evolutionary theory, the claims of the anti-evolution movement, and the defence of the integrity of both science and science education.
Article about the peppered moth where natural selection had caused a change in populations, long held out to be a demonstration of evolution in progress.
A probabilistic model of biological evolution with a new interpretation of Darwinian natural selection and 3 examples: 1) 5 mass extinctions 2) hominization 3) the PO2PAL increase.
Illustrated lecture transcript by Dr. Jere Lipps. Discussion of the evolutionary record of the pre-Cambrian period and the Cambrian explosion, including the traces and impacts of non-skeletal life forms.
Article from Truth in Science describing Professor Donald Prothero's view that the evolution of mammals from their ancestors, the synapsids, provides an excellent example of a transitional sequence.
A beginner's guide to a science-based understanding of evolution, accessible to the non-scientist. Present the topic of evolution in a scientifically accurate manner that avoids highly technical language.
