 Understanding Evolution. Evolution is a central concept in biology, and is at the heart of what we know about how the world works. And yet in certain communities, the teaching of evolution is controversial, in great part because there are widespread misconceptions about what evolution is, and what it is not. In partnership with the National Center for Science Education, and with major support from the National Science Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, UCMP is building a resource site on evolution. The first phase is to construct a rich site that will respond to the specific needs of teachers. Later phases will create sections targeted to the interests of students and the general public.
