The focus of this study is a state-by-state comparison of middle school science
standards on evolution in the United States. In 2009, Louise Mead and Anton
Mates reviewed the high school science standards on evolution, giving each state
a grade based on multiple factors including the number of times the word
“evolution” is mentioned, the types of evolution covered, and the inclusion of

placement of vertebrates among their invertebrate relatives that we can begin to
arrive at concrete conclusions concerning the nature of ancient ancestors and
the sequence ... hiện toàn bộ
