This category is for scientific sites about evolution in biology.
Evolution is the process by which living things change over generations. Evolutionary biology is the study of how and why evolution occurs. An organism inherits traits from its parents through the genome. Mutations in these genes and/or the way they are read, or not read, can produce a new trait in the offspring. If a new trait makes these offspring better suited to their environment, they will be more successful at surviving and reproducing. This process is called natural selection, and it causes useful traits to become more common. The theory of evolution by natural selection was first proposed by Charles Darwin in his book “On the Origin of Species”, written in 1859.

Provides a number of essays and articles on various aspects of biology and evolutionary theory.
Essays, articles, resources and links presenting scientific evidence for evolution and refuting creationist arguments. Demonstrates fallacies of Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design.
Presents and discusses the results of polls (from Gallup, About.com, and other sources) of various economic, educational, and religious groups about evolution and creation.
Article examining the evolution of birds.
Essay by Svend Palm.
Provides a means for evolutionary biologists, population biologists and scientists in related areas to post and distribute information about jobs, meetings, news and general announcements.
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.
Web version of a book written by John Stewart about the direction of evolution and the future of humanity.
Supporting material for the "Evolution" TV series. Includes informative activities.
One of the classic stories of evolution is the riddle of the giant panda's thumb.
Information on a book by Professor Jaroslav Flegr describing a variation on the theory of evolution, the frozen plasticity theory.
Article by Kathleen Hunt.
University of California Museum of Paleontology virtual exhibit explores the relationship of phylogeny and evolution.
Gene McCarthy, a geneticist, provides an in-depth discussion of macroevolution and its probable causes and, in the process, reviews the history of evolutionary thought.
A blog about evolution, creation and 'all that jazz', by high school biology teacher Scott Hatfield.
Group weblog on evolutionary theory, the claims of the anti-evolution movement, and the defence of the integrity of both science and science education.
BBC News article about study on Himalayan songbirds that suggests how one species can evolve into two.
Chapter from an online book entitled "A Review of the Universe: Structures, Evolutions, Observations, and Theories".
Explores the physics of vertebrate flight, with particular emphasis on its origins and evolution.
Article by Vaclav Petr on this subject.
