从倭黑猩猩类人猿到人类，天赋进化的礼物是玩乐
在这个以前从没看到过的视频里，灵长类动物学家伊莎贝尔·贝恩克·伊斯基耶多讲了倭黑猩猩类人猿社会是如何通过不断地独自玩耍，和朋友玩耍，甚至是通过一个性爱前奏的玩乐来学习。的确，玩乐是倭黑猩猩解决问题和避免冲突的关键。如果玩乐对于我们的近亲起作用，为什么不会应用到人类身上呢？
驳斥创造论和保护进化论的教学权利
Recognizing and understanding the three main arguments against evolution or the "pillars of creationism", says Scott, will help teachers and scientists to refute creationism and defend the teaching of evolution in public schools.
科学看待进化论
Ken Miller outlines his best strategies for engaging, rather than arguing with, those who say they don't believe in evolution.
进化，为什么它重要
Isn't evolution about the past? "No!" says Miller, evolution is an ongoing process that explains many questions in modern cell biology. By not teaching evolution in school, Miller worries that a generation will grow up not trusting science or the scientific method.
人类三色视觉的进化过程
Jeremy Nathans (Johns Hopkins) Part 3: The Evolution of Trichromatic Color Vision
In this set of lectures, Jeremy Nathans explores the molecular mechanisms within the retina that mediate the first steps in vision. The third lecture describes recent work on the evolution of trichromatic color vision in humans and our primate relatives. See more athttp://www.ibioseminars.orgs
双翅目昆虫家族进化的基础模式
Although Bcd plays an essential role of Drosophila development, it is a recently evolved addition to the higher Dipteran lineage. In the final section of my lecture I will discuss how Bcd has continued to provide robust positional information in higher diptera as specific features such as egg size change during evolution.

花粉的压力问题：通过进化缓解性紧张
虽然我们通常将花粉与季节性过敏联系在一起，花粉对植物的繁殖是至关重要的。Eric Hamilton博士介绍了所有的花粉份额的共同特征作为植物的精子：它们需要在外部环境中生存，达到一个女性伴侣，和配偶。在这些过程中，花粉的变化彻底的；它需要脱水的叶子和一旦发现伴侣的补水。正如汉弥尔顿解释说，花粉不停止那里。一旦发现它的伴侣，花粉从花尖生长，直到到达鸡蛋。以拟南芥为模型生物，汉弥尔顿发现了一种名叫mls8膜蛋白，这是至关重要的花粉的水化和生育过程。汉弥尔顿认为，msl8作为花粉的压力释放阀，它允许花粉在激烈的身体变化中生存。
