as can be achieved by focusing on biological examples alone. In order to investigate this potential, Pugh et al. (2014) explored 9th and 10th grade high school students’ ability to transfer the concept of natural selection to the domain of culture by asking “Not only do organisms change ov...

Notes: δDwater (‰) is calculated by δDSMOW (‰; sericite) with the low temperatures (< 400 °C) correction (Ojala et al., 1995) from the equation: δDwater = δ18OSMOW + 22.1 × 106T− 2 − 19.1 (Suzuoki and Epstein, 1976); δ18Owater (‰) is calculated by δ18OSMOW...
(a) teach Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, (b) teach three non-Darwinian views of evolution, (c) present numerous evolution problems for students to solve using different theories of evolution, (d) enable students to identify strengths and weaknesses of the different theories...
The disclaimer also notes that while natural selection has been observed to influence small changes in populations it is only “assumed” to produce large changes, “…even though this has not been directly observed”. Students are instructed to “…wrestle with the unanswered questions and ...
