Evolution underpins all biology, affecting our health, our food supply, the very web of life.
It explains how life on earth developed, and how it continues to change. Since Charles Darwin described the mechanism that drives it, evolution has grown from hypothesis to scientific theory, propelled by a wealth of data discovered through experimentation and observation. The goal of the Evolution Project is to heighten public comprehension about what evolution is and how it works, and to dispel common misunderstandings about it. The Evolution Project will feature a comprehensive and engaging Web site aimed at a popular audience, with interactive games, live online expeditions, animated narratives, and 360 virtual environments. The project s extensive educational outreach initiative will seek to transform the way evolution is taught and learned in schools nationwide by providing teachers with resources that expand their content knowledge, including an online digital library and downloadable teacher training.
