Evolution Links
- The Talk.Origins Archive: Evolution FAQs A very informative site about biology and evolutionary theory.
- Science and Creationism Considers the science that supports the theory of evolution. From the National Science Foundation.
- The Evolution Evidence Page A collection of articles about evolution from a variety of sources. These articles, most of which deal primarily with human evolution, include anatomical, fossil and genetic evidence. Some articles are in pdf (Adobe Acrobat format).
- Evolution Update A tool for academic research in evolutionary biology and its associated controversies.
- Nearctica - Evolution Extensive annotated collection of links on the process of evolution.
- Behavioral Ecology of Spiders This site covers the research of Dr. Jutta M. Schneider into the behavioral ecology of spiders belonging to the genera Nephila, Stegodyphus and Argiope. Areas of her research which are covered include sexual conflict, mating systems, cannibalism, sociality, brood-care, sperm competition and sexual selection. The reproductive advantages of various behaviors are explored within an evolutionary context.
- Triumph of Life Companion to PBS series on evolution. Features essays, video clips, and special interactive features that explore the story of life on Earth.
- Graham, John - Berry College Current research includes the theory and practical application of developmental stability in evolutionary biology and ecotoxicology.
- Essays on Evolution Essays on dinosaur origin and extinction, bird origin and flight, and human origin.
- Evolution's Arrow Web version of a book written by John Stewart about the direction of evolution and the future of humanity.
- Introduction to Phylogeny Univ. California Museum of Paleontology virtual exhibit explores the relationship of phylogeny and evolution.
- Evolution Web Evolution and information review (author Yves Decadt) : physical, bio-chemical and biological evolution ; semiotics and biological information as DNA, a gene and meme in genetic evolution ; evolution vs creation ; symmetry , replication , reflection and hierarchy ; order from chaos and emergent complexity, attractors in thermodynamic evolution.
- Evolution of evolvability This paper shows how evolution tunes the content and frequency of genetic variation to enhance its evolvability, organising genetic systems into hierarchies. Genetic evolution is neither random nor blind.
- A post-darwinian probabilistic model A probabilistic model of biological evolution with a new interpretation of Darwinian natural selection and 3 examples: 1) 5 mass extinctions (including causes of the dinosaur extinction at the KT limit) 2) hominization 3) the PO2PAL increase.
- European Society for Evolutionary Biology The Society aims promotes evolutionary research in a wide sense. It publishes the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, and organizes a conference every other year.
- The Evolutionary Tales Recasting of Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" to present evolutionary theory and the pseudoscientific nature of "creation science" by Ronald L. Ecker. Full text available online.
- Evolution Page with links and background to evolution debate, plus outline of a new model for large scale changes.
- Hans-Cees Speel's Homepage The Evolution and Philosophy section discusses evolution in biology, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and memetics.

- Change Through Time Evolution is one of the most important theories in the history of science. This educational site provides an interactive environment in which to explore this subject. It includes pictures, games, quizzes, a Q&A section and links.
- Replicators: Evolutionary Powerhouses Extensive and interactive educational resource providing information on biological and cultural evolution, language development, and philosophy.
- National Center for Science Education Clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out.
