Students explore how biological classification is intimately associated with evolution.

Learners are able to describe the development of their chosen form of vertebrate life from the past to the present in a four to six page typed paper. They explain the use of phylogenetic tree. Students use the phylogenetic tree to...

This is a lesson designed by a biology teacher. In it, students use maps and evidence of island age, molecular genetics, morphology, and distance apart to determine how the islands came to be occupied by different species of lizards. It...

An extensive coverage of the evolutionary history of plants. Click on a topic in the outline and you'll go to a good discussion on this material.

A collection of articles on evolutionary genetics focusing on the topics of phylogenetics, mutation and molecular population genetics, the genetics of speciation, genome evolution, and evolution and development. Learn how to read a...

The Understanding Evolution site provides evidence for evolution in biogeography utilizing relative dating, geography, and plate tectonics.

Researchers are considering more recent findings of eukaryotes and their phylogeny. Investigate the insights to understand that there may be more progress found in determining the relationships to other eukaryotes.

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Students will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.

A collection of video lectures introducing beginning biology students to the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior. The course was taught three times a week for a semester at Yale University. The course discusses concepts of...

Recent discovery and theroy that changes the conventional explanation for the evolution of plants.

These pages are part of a site called "Evolution," that accompanies a textbook by the same name. Mark Ridley is the author. These pages are about the house sparrow and the differences that can be observed in it in different geographical...

Interactive animation illustrates how Charles Darwin used his study of finch beaks to explain evolution. A phylogenetic tree diagram shows how the birds' color and beak shape changed over generations.

Instructional module focusing on Charles Darwin's theory of Descent with Modification. Discusses how slight changes from parent to offspring create variation and potentially create new species over time. Site also includes an interactive...

Good visual site from PBS that presents the geologic history of sharks and acts a good introduction.

This site contains on-line exhibits including animals, plants, time periods, phylogeny, geology, and evolution. Also, a search is provided at the bottom of the site for more specific information.

In this transcript of an interview filmed for the PBS series "Evolution," scientists Ted Daeschler and Neil Shubin describe the discovery and significance of some of their key fossil finds.

Standford University provides interesting biographical and professional information on Stephen Jay Gould and his many contributions to scientific thought, including his efforts to help people see science "As something that is important...

Visit the virtual exhibits at this site to learn more about paleontology, the history of the earth, and life on earth. Use the information on this site to understand geology, geologic time, evolution, and phylogeny.

A detailed website that explains the history and process of classifying animals using evolutionary, molecular, and physical characteristics relationships. Website also contains information on evolution and evolutionary processes....

Find out about Ernst Haeckel, a scientist known for his work with ecology, zoology, and the study of phylogeny.

Learn what a phylogenetic tree is, Learn how to read phylogenetic trees and determine which species are most related.
