Welcome to the Evolution Wing These exhibits trace evolutionary thought as it has developed over time, pausing to ponder the contributions of scientists and thinkers including Aristotle, Darwin, Wallace, and many others. Explore the theory of evolution Learn about the history of evolutionary thought There are many other great places to look on-line for information about evolution. Here are a few of our favorites: Understanding Evolution , a new site launched in February 2004 to meet the needs of K-12 teachers. The site provides an informal on-line course covering essential science content, as well as a searchable database of resources for the classroom. Talk Origins Archive , a rich source of information about evolution and the evolution/creation controversy. National Center for Science Education website, a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice on teaching evolution in the classroom.
