We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to include the teaching of evolution by natural selection in the new national primary curriculum. More details
More details from petition creator
Scientists are agreed that all today’s living organisms have evolved over millions of years from simpler organisms. This evolution is best explained by Darwin’s theory of natural selection and its subsequent refinement. Natural selection is the most powerful tool for understanding living things.
The current draft curriculum includes living things but omits evolution and natural selection. These ideas are needed to lay a foundation for later studies and to help children see their place in the living world and the universe.
Submitted by Mr David Flint – Deadline to sign up by: 18 August 2009 –Signatures: 536
