No enseñar la evolución es una injusticia
L S Shashidhara1, Amitabh Joshi2
1L. S. Shashidhara is director of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research-National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru, India.
Resumen
La India
Área de la Ciencia:
- Desarrollo Curricular: Se centra en el impacto de los cambios en el contenido de los libros de texto en la India.
Sus antecedentes:
- El Consejo Nacional de Investigación y Capacitación Educativa (NCERT) eliminó temas como la evolución y la tabla periódica de los libros de texto escolares.
- Esta racionalización del contenido tenía como objetivo reducir la carga de estudio de los estudiantes, pero provocó una controversia significativa.
- Los críticos cuestionaron la eliminación de los temas científicos, sospechando motivaciones ideológicas alineadas con la agenda del partido gobernante.

The Evidence for Evolution
43.0K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

What is Evolutionary History?
36.7K
Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.

Eukaryotic Evolution

The endosymbiont theory is the most widely accepted theory of eukaryotic evolution; however, its progression is still somewhat debated. According to the nucleus-first hypothesis, the ancestral prokaryote first evolved a membrane to enclose DNA and form the nucleus. Conversely, the mitochondria-first hypothesis suggests that the nucleus was formed after endosymbiosis of mitochondria.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle
72.4K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Evolutionary Psychology
314
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
