The author states that evolution is a difficult concept to teach because many college courses only do a cursory job of addressing it. The information presented in this article will bring teachers up to date on recent molecular evidence for evolution; the article also provides arguments against forms of creationalism such as intelligent design. Teachers will benefit from the brief but thorough examination of molecular genetics. Biochemical evidence and the role genetics plays in evolution are also discussed. Great primer for those teachers whose knowledge of the science of evolution is limited.
