Evolution Resources from the National Academies

The National Academies recently redesigned their Evolution Resources web site to honor Charles Darwin's 1859 publication "On the Origin of Species". In doing so, they created a number of new sections for their users.

The "Introduction" area introduces visitors to brief summaries of evolution in agriculture, industry, and medicine. The "Definitions" area offers decisive definitions of relevant evolutionary terms. The "Books and Reports" area, offers full-text reports such as "Science, Evolution, and Creationism" and "Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origins". The site is completed by a list of upcoming events.
