What should the average person know about science? Because science
is so central to life in the 21st century, science educators and
other leaders of the scientific community believe that it is
essential that everyone understand the basic concepts of the most
vital and far-reaching disciplines. Evolution 101 does exactly
that. This accessible volume provides readers - whether students
new to the field or just interested members of the lay public -
with the essential ideas of evolution using a minimum of jargon and
mathematics. Concepts are introduced in a progressive order so that
more complicated ideas build on simpler ones, and each is discussed
in small, bite-sized segments so that they can be more easily
understood. Evolution 101 provides an introduction for non-scholars
to this most powerful scientific theory, covering such issues as:
the history of evolutionary thought, from before Darwin to the
present day; the evidence for evolution, from fields as diverse as
geology, molecular biology, paleontology, and more, that show how
strongly supported evolution is; how evolution works, including
topics ranging from behavior (e.g., sexual selection) to molecular
biology (e.g., mutation); and evolution in our daily lives,
including how evolution accounts for phenomena such as antibiotic
resistance and pesticide resistance. This essential resource will
answer the questions students and lay people have regarding
evolution, and will point them on the path to further
understanding.
