Examples of natural selection processes are well documented in life forms that have very rapid life cycles such as bacteria.

These pages are part of a site called Evolution that accompany a textbook by the same name. Mark Ridley is the author. This section has an advanced discussion of determining allele and genotype frequencies using the Hardy-Weinberg ratio.

Explore the theory of evolution by means of natural selection.

This article allows students to recognize that the process of evolution by natural selection continues to change our world and ourselves, both despite and because of our best efforts to control it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide looks at Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection. It also looks at some of the evidence supporting the theory of evolution (comparative...

Students are introduced to the concepts of evolution by natural selection and digital evolution software. They learn about the field of evolutionary computation, which applies the principles of natural selection to solve engineering...

This resource provides directions for a lab in which students observe changes in a gene pool of bunnies affected by natural selection. Includes PDF resources.

This group of letters is a sample of the extensive correspondence Darwin carried on with a wide group of friends and colleagues as he collected evidence to support his theory of evolution by natural selection. From Charles Darwin's...

The Understanding Evolution website for teachers provides common examples of evolution, especially by artificial selection.

Discovery School provides a lesson plan on evolution by having students make a timeline of the history of evolution. This timeline will have dates and, above or below the dates, will provide details about the people who have played major...
