The fates of phrenology and evolutionary theory in the 19th Century are studied in order to assess the current status of sociobiology and predict its future. (Author/AM)

This article is essentially a rebuttal to Norman Macbeth's arguments against Darwinism. The author argues that one must identify the real weaknesses of evolutionary theory and not use the misconceptions put forth by Macbeth to make valid judgments. (MA)

The idea of evolution is examined in a historical perspective in this article. Considerable discussion is given to the works of Lamarck and Darwin. The evolutionary process is also examined with respect to philosophy, art and music history, and man's place in nature. References are included. (MA)

The history of this controversy is traced in general terms from the early Fundamentalist Movement at the close of the nineteenth century to the present time. Of special note are summaries of the more well known court cases including the so-called Scopes Monkey Trial of the mid-1920's. (Author/AJ)

Describes the disciplinary role of comparative psychology and examines why comparative psychologists do not consider professional associations of psychology to be representative of the discipline's core. Reviews the treatment of comparative psychology in textbooks and emphasizes the view of comparative psychology on the nature of causation and…

Recent developments in molecular biology and new interpretations of the fossil record are gradually altering and adding to Charles Darwin's theory, which has been the standard view of the process of evolution for 40 years. Several of these developments and interpretations are identified and discussed. (JN)

Provides a rationale for including evolution as part of a college general education curriculum, discussing the content of evolutionary theory, instructional principles, Darwin's contributions, evolution and religion, and the relationship of evolution with current events. (DMM)

The article's thesis is that evolution's intellectual foundations have been steadily eroding, and that few new findings in embryology, taxonomy, fossil remains, and molecular biology are bringing us very near to a formal, logical disproof of Darwinian claims. The paper begins by discussing the evidence of a prehistoric world, then they discuss…

A comparison of religious and scientific explanations of the origin of life is discussed. It is felt that both sides are equally guilty in their approaches to win converts. In the true education of students, there should be open-minded explanations. (DF)

Doubts about the validity of the general theory of evolution are raised. Evidence in favor of evolution is circumstantial and not reproducible. Teachers should explain the theory of creation proposed in the Bible when discussing evolution. (PS)

Part II of a two-part article that examines the doctrine of special creation embodied in the Creation Research Society's high school biology textbook, Biology: A Search for Order in Complexity," from an historical perspective. This part examines the concept of ideal type" in the creationist position. (AL)

Man can aspire to control his evolution and direct it towards goals which he finds good, salutary, worth living for....The one most 'natural' thing for man is to modify nature by means of his knowledge." (Author/AL)

Describes scope, methods, and history of evolutionary biology. Illustrates the application of new mathematical treatments to problems of speciation, homology and ecology. Urges biologists to become familiar with these methods and to adopt a mathematical approach in teaching, arguing that much ecology taught today is irrelevant to theories now…

Describes somatic and genetic manipulations of individual genotypes, using diabetes control as an example of the first mode that is potentially realizable be derepression or viral transduction of genes. Advocates the use of genetic engineering of the second mode to remove man from his biological limitations, but offers maxims to ensure the…
