About evolution

In commemoration of Darwin Day, I am posting a few links to resources about evolution.

UC Berkeley’s Understanding Evolution and Understanding Science websites

Website about evolution by the National Academies

A collection of articles about evolution by New Scientist magazine

Professor Ken MIller’s website about evolution, on which he argues for theistic evolution and against intelligent design; also see Jerry Coyne’s critique of two books arguing for theistic evolution, including a book by Miller

potholer54’s Made Easy series on YouTube (he’s currently working on a more school-friendly version of the videos that removes the statements critical of religious belief)

The PBS series Evolution, with its companion website

The NOVA program “Intelligent Design on Trial” about the 2005 Dover, Pennsylvania case about intelligent design

Other NOVA programs that relate to evolution are “Alien From Earth,” about the so-called “hobbit” fossils found on the island of Flores in Indonesia; “Ape Genius,” about the similarities and differences between humans and chimpanzees; “The Four-Winged Dinosaur,” about the evolution of birds; “Lord of the Ants,” about E. O. Wilson, an expert on ants and the founder of sociobiology

Richard Dawkins’s recent award-winning series “The Genius of Charles Darwin

Carl Sagan’s 1980 series “Cosmos“: episode 2 is about evolution and some ideas about life on other planets

If anyone else knows of good evolution resources, please post them in the comments section.
