Essays, articles, resources and links presenting scientific evidence for evolution and refuting creationist arguments. Demonstrates fallacies of Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design.
Presents and discusses the results of polls (from Gallup, About.com, and other sources) of various economic, educational, and religious groups about evolution and creation.
Article by Dr Marc Surtees arguing that the fossil record does not appear to provide indisputable evidence for the theory that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs.
Provides a means for evolutionary biologists, population biologists and scientists in related areas to post and distribute information about jobs, meetings, news and general announcements.
A collection of articles about evolution, most of which deal primarily with human evolution, from a variety of sources. They include discussion of the anatomical, fossil and genetic evidence.
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.
Article explaining how the discovery by Othniel Charles Marsh of certain horse fossils demonstrated the evolution of the horse and provided credible evidence to back up Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
Poster providing a great deal of information in a simple but comprehensive way in accordance with the new cladistic classification system. Also contains information on the work behind the poster.
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.
Provides a curriculum vitae, list of publications, research interests, teaching career, and collaborations with other researchers in the fields of population genetics and the evolutionary biology of fishes.
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.
Research interests include cellular and molecular bases of sponge biology and the origin and evolution of metazoan body plans. Also provides a list of publications and contact details.
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.
