Captivating Evidence of Evolution

Brandon Keim, writing in the WIRED SCIENCE BLOG posts an entry based on the work of “the editors of Nature (who) compiled a selection of especially elegant and enlightening examples of evolution. The Nature editors explain that the goal of their endeavor is “for those wishing to spread awareness of evidence for evolution by natural selection." And is presented at a time when numerous skeptics continue their battle against the global acceptance of evolution. Keim adds that the twelve examples of evolution play a role that goes beyond the often dry and uninspiring findings of science. “They are, quite simply, wondrous — glimpses through an evolutionary frame of life's incredible narrative, expanding to fill every possible nook and cranny of Earth's biosphere. The examples provided by Nature succeed by “stir(ring) passion about the scientific validity of evolution without first captivating minds and imaginations. And this is a fine place to start.” So point your browser to this link that I’ve provided and dare yourself to consider the wondrous creation that evolution has brought to the Earth.
