Theory of evolution is not fact but is a scientific theory based on numerous pieces of concrete evidence. The only way to disprove this theory is to show evidence against it. The creationist view cannot be accepted in the light of new knowledge in molecular biology and other fields. (PS)

Although both genetic and situational factors are implicated in criminality, the thesis here is that the latter may well be more important and more frequently encountered than many criminologists have acknowledged to date. (JB)

A constitutional genetic neurochemical dysfunction is posited as the basis of a large number of learning disabilities. (Author/GW)

Rebuttal to Gage's view that the elimination of racial differences depends on education, not on eugenics. (MF)

Discusses the heritability of intelligence. (MF)

Analysis of the research reported by R. J. Light and P. V. Smith in Harvard Educational Review, Social Allocation Models of Intelligence," v.30, 1969, p.484-510. (VW)

Current programs to aid Negroes focus on them as people who are culturally deprived rather than culturally different. This approach dooms these programs to failure. (CK)

Discusses the genetics content in secondary school curricula, suggesting possible revisions to current A- and 0-level syllabi. Present teaching methods, textbooks, and General Certificate of Education (GCE) examination questions are reviewed, problems identified, and suggestions made regarding possible improvements. (Author/JN)

Background information, laboratory procedures (including matings performed), and results are presented for an open-ended investigation using the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. Once data are collected, students develop hypotheses to explain results as well as devise additional experiments to test their hypotheses. Calculation of chi-square for…

Reports design of an interactive computer program (FORTRAN) in microbial genetics. The program is divided into three stages: background information, simulation, and data treatment. Results obtained from the simulation allow four genes to be sequenced along the bacterial chromosome. The simulation mimics experimental errors and production of…

"Take Two People" is a kit of model genes which can be made up in packs to represent people or gametes. The kit is simple to make and highly adaptable. It has been useful and effective in teaching genetics to students of low ability and little motivation. (Author/JN)
