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.
