Breakthroughs in Evolution

In this weeks discussion, you will choose a recent article concerning any aspect of evolution. Because it is so multifaceted, evolution is the subject of many peer-review research articles in biology and medicine. It is also something that touches all of us in one way or another so it is a frequent subject of popular news articles as well.

1.First, read the Module Notes and Chapters 15-17 in the textbook. Next, choose a recent article on about any aspect of evolution. For example, the article may be the discovery of a new organism and where it fits on the evolutionary tree. Or, it could be about new findings that change current ideas about evolution. Your article choice may be from either a peer-reviewed journal article or a popular news article. If you need ideas for your search, use the links below.

Science Magazine (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/latest-news)

2. Then, using your article and knowledge gained from this module, prepare an audio presentation of less than 2-3 minutes. Your purpose is to create an educational weekly audio for a syndicated news podcast called Current Events in Evolution, meant for postsecondary science students.

The audio presentation should be less than two minutes long. If youd prefer to create a video presentation, this is acceptable as well.

Along with the audio, you need to include a written transcript of your presentation. This can be copy/pasted into the body of your discussion board post.

You should also include a list of any references used in your post and audio presentation, using APA
If you are unable to create the audio please contact your instructor for alternative arrangements.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
