Teaching evolution in American schools
In this fascinating blog posting, it is highlighted that:
- In the United States, only 28% of biology teachers consistently teach the principles of evolution as recommended by the US National Research Council
- Of 34 advanced nations, only Turkey has a lower proportion than the USA of people who reject the notion of evolution
An understanding of evolution is critical to an appreciation of all human and animal life on Earth and it is important that we all understand the case for evolution.
