Knowledge is what science is about and schools are where we convey knowledge. Evolution encompasses all of the knowledge we have on the adaptation and mutation of species. It is not something that we think occurs but rather that which we know occurs. We know for a fact that evolution occurs and that is knowledge that needs to be shared. That is what schools are for.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
