2 Metadidactic Thinking

3 Adaptive evolutionary change The Tournament of Kitchen Utensils

4 Adaptive evolutionary change How does the concept of differential reproductive success apply to this simulation? How does the concept of natural selection apply to this simulation? How does the concept of evolution apply to this simulation?

5 Adaptive evolutionary change (natural selection) Natural selection The differential contribution of offspring to the next generation by alternative genetic types.

6 Adaptive evolutionary change (natural selection) Natural selection 1. If there are heritable (phenotypic) variations among individuals in a population and 2. These differences lead to differences among individuals in terms of how many offspring each type produces (= differential reproductive success) then 3. There will necessarily be an increase in the frequency of the type that reproduces better (evolution by way of natural selection)

7 Adaptive evolutionary change (natural selection) Natural selection = differential reproductive success Perhaps the simplest idea in all of biology!

8 Evolution, that is, the idea that human beings developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. Definitely true Probably true Probably false Definitely false No opinion Creationism, that is, the idea that God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years Definitely true Probably true All figures are percentages Probably false Definitely false No opinion

9 All figures are percentages God created humans in present form Humans evolved, with God guiding Humans evolved, but God played no role

10 Germans who poisoned wells and springs of northern France and Belgium and fed little children poisoned candy were angels compared to the teachers, paid by our taxes, who feed our children's minds with the deadly soul-destroying poison of evolution. T.T. Martin The changes for the worse we have seen in society in the past 50 years are the predictable result of indoctrination in evolutionary philosophy. Duane Gish If evolution is true, abortion, euthanasia, pornography. genocide, adultery, etc. are all permissible. Kent Hovind

11 [I don t believe a] creature crawled out of the sea and became a human being one day. I believe I came from God not from a monkey. U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Georgia) January, 2011
