"The
evolutionary narrative outlined in the following pages is science based
and open to continual refinement as new facts come to hand. Founded on
evidence from the frontiers of research it offers none of the comforting ‘certainties’ that
characterise traditional dogma and mystically-based belief systems. …
Unlike the safe lowland highway travelled by most textbooks this narrative
takes the traveller on a mountain back road that is risky, rough and
steep, but offers a breathtaking overview of our evolution that few people
know exists. This real-life creation story, as told by the cells
of your body, will continue to expand and evolve until humans
cease to be interested in unravelling the riddle of their abrupt appearance
and comet-like impact on the planet."
This unusual book (presently available in digital form) is essentially
suited to students in all States who are doing Biology in years 11 and
12. Its uniquely graphic, personal, narrative approach also makes it
an excellent teacher-resource for years 9 and 10 Science. A greatly expanded
version will be available as a book later this year.
Also available as a free download are
the NSW and WA Biology syllabus dot points associated with this
work.
