AP Evolution Unit

Welcome to our most unifying theme! Evolution is exciting in that it is widely known and also so widely misunderstood! It is still a current hot topic within scientific, political and social venues, and is a fascinating concept to study.

University of California Museum of Paleontology's Understanding Evolution (http://evolution.berkeley.edu).

Check back here frequently for homework links, resource pages and more.

1. "Evolution 101". Tutorial and links to other great resources about Evolution for all levels.
2. "Evolution Library". Sponsored by PBS and NOVA this site has videos, tutorials and interactives all about the science behind evolution. Very entertaining stuff too- like why some women prefer certain guys smells to others- check it out.
3. HHMI's Biointeractive "Evolution": home page of the evolution topic. The biointeractive site is a resource you should use ALL year. This is the site produced by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). It is a highly respected resource and a major source of funding for science (hint, hint for you future grant-needing researchers!).
4. Learn Genetics Variation, Selection and Natural Selection http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/selection/
