National Academies Unveil Evolution Web Page
Print This
June 13 -- The National Academies have designed a new Web page to allow easy access to books, position statements, and additional resources on evolution education and research. Evolution is one of science's most robust theories, and the National Academies have long supported the position that evolution should be taught as a central element in any science education program. Over the past several years, there has been a growing movement around the country to include non-scientifically based "alternatives" in science courses. Currently there are challenges to the teaching of evolution in some 40 states or local school districts.
