RE: Intro to Theory of Evolution Article

[John Kulig]

A nice introduction of Darwinian theory vis-a-vis psychololgy is Ch 2 of Gaulin and McBurney's "Evolutionary Psychology", second edition, Prentice Hall (2004). I suspect one of the more challenging concepts to swallow in Darwinian thinking is the lack of "intelligent design" - then and now. By the way, Norton Publishers currently has a set of 3 of Darwin's books Origin of Species, (and I assume) Decsent of Man, and _expression_ of Emotions.., for about $39.   ----------------------------- John W.

I seem to give the theory as much time as I possibly can in an already overloaded course, without the students really grasping the importance of the theory. Luckily, they haven't heard of ID either, so that's more than half the battle won I guess! So I am on the lookout for a good article or book chapter that I could distribute to these students in order to give them a solid foundation on the theory. If anyone has a good source that would be accessible to first year students, I would be very interested in hearing about it! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas (Holiday). Cheers!
