This video case study explores whether elephants can detect, interpret, and respond to signals delivered by underground vibrations.

This interactive module allows students to examine fossils of early humans and compare them to modern primates.

This interactive module explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

This interactive module explores how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: Got Lactase? The Co-evolution of Genes and Culture, which explores the genetics of lactase persistence and evolution of the trait in some human populations.

A number of interactive questions are embedded within the short film The Biology of Skin Color, which explores the hypothesis that the variations in skin color in humans arose as adaptations to the intensity of ultraviolet radiation in different parts of the world.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film Great Transitions: The Origin of Humans. The film explores the major fossil finds from Africa that provide insights into the evolution of modern humans from a common ancestor we share with other primates.

The added information provided at pause points within the animation How We Get Our Skin Color allows for a richer exploration of the topic of human skin structure and function.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Origin of Species: The Beak of the Finch, which explores four decades of research on the evolution of the Galápagos finches.

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This interactive module explores different anatomical features of the human body and what they reveal about the evolutionary history of humans.
