I thought using this online tool was amazing. I'm usually quiet during class, so this is a great way for me to reflect on the lessons we learned. The other cool thing is that you can see what other people had to say about the topic. It really chan...
This article from the New York Times is pretty long but it talks a lot about Evo-Devo which is the combined study of evolution and development. It's a couple years old but it has some really interesting stuff. It talks about how the study of evolu...
I pretty much have the same questions as before. But i have learned a lot more about evolution. I still don't believe in it though. Im looking at this through my religious views so thats why i don't believe it.
