A worksheet that guides students through The Stickleback Evolution Virtual Lab. The virtual lab lets students learn firsthand the methods for analyzing body structure in stickleback collected from lakes and fossils recovered from a quarry. Students measure, record, and graph their results to...
Interview
Ms. Pepe talks about her experiences doing field work with the Shea lab as an undergraduate at Stony Brook University.
Interview
Dr. Shea discusses his early interest in anthropology, how field work has changed over the years, and his outside interests.
Lectures
How Darwin came to publish The Origin of Species, and examples of how quickly evolution can change a population.
Lectures
The genetic mechanisms by which evolution occurs, and an overview of the evidence for evolutionary theory.
Lectures

Lectures
Stone tools are well-preserved evidence of past human activity.
Lectures
The hominid fossil record of the past six million years gives us surprising insights into the path of human evolution.
Lectures
Microbes have been the dominant life form throughout Earth's history. Eukaryotes and animals evolved only after microbes evolved oxygen-generating photosynthesis.
Series
Where and when did humans arise? What distinguishes us from other species? Did our distant ancestors look and behave like us?
Series
How has the amazing diversity of plants and animals evolved? What can fossils, butterflies, and stickleback fish tell us about the deep common ancestry of all living forms?
Series
Leading evolution educator Ken Miller discusses the controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution.
Video Clips
Fossilized dung beetle balls are part of a comprehensive fossil collection project to reconstruct the habitat of Ardipithecus ramidus.
