I teach evolution to non-majors and agree with the Tangled Bank
suggestion. As a supplement I suggest The Evolution Dialogues printed
by the AAAS. The later is particularly useful for students who have the
perception that evolution conflicts with religion.

Hi All:
In the fall I am going to be teaching an Evolutionary Biology course for
students in the social sciences and humanities. No prior coursework
in the
natural sciences is required. I am curious if the list might have
recommendations for a textbook that is appropriate for this audience.
Thanks in advance for your input.
