Darwin
and Wallace, names associated with the introduction of “evolution” and “natural
selection” to the scientific lexicon, had an interesting relationship.
The story of the interrelationship between the two men over their professional
careers is presented on this website.

various topics designed by teachers to “bring evolution out of the last chapter
of textbooks and into the entire biology curriculum where it rightfully belongs”.

“The objectives of the Society for the Study of Evolution are the promotion of the study of organic evolution and the integration of the various fields of science concerned with evolution. The Society endeavors to accomplish these objectives through the publication of the journal and through meetings and working committees.”

First Cousins: Chimpanzees and Human Origins Public Symposium hosted by IHO March 4, 2000 at Arizona State University
http://www.asu.edu/clas/iho/chimpsymp.html
The symposium addressed questions regarding the ways the behaviors and functional anatomy of living chimpanzees influence our thinking about human origins and evolution.
Fossil Hominids: Illustrations

This website displays various skeletal illustrations and photos of early hominid discoveries.
Guided Tour of Hominid Evolution
http://www.hunterian.gla.ac.uk/museum/hominid/hominid.html
If men and apes have a common ancestor, as claimed by the theory of evolution, there should once have been primates showing features of both. Fossil remains of such a group, dating from about twenty-two to ten million years ago, in Miocene times, are known from Europe, Asia and Africa.

Evolution Education Network
The National Center for Science Education is a clearinghouse dedicated to providing information and advice on keeping the teaching of evolution in the classroom. The organization works to protect the teaching of evolution from attacks by religious organizations.

Institute of Human Origins (affiliated with Arizona State University)
Dedicated to the recovery and analysis of the fossil evidence for human evolution, the Institute seeks to provide a singular research environment for leading investigators of paleoanthropology. It also strives to allocate its resources strategically to permit research on the most important questions yet to be answered regarding the course, cause, and timing of biological and behavioral events in human evolution.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-intro-to-biology.html
“Evolution is the cornerstone of modern biology. It unites all the fields of biology under one theoretical umbrella. It is not a difficult concept, but very few people -- the majority of biologists included -- have a satisfactory grasp of it.”
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-misconceptions.html
“A large part of the reason why Creationist arguments against evolution can sound so persuasive is because they don't address evolution, but rather argue against a set of misunderstandings that people are right to consider ludicrous.”
