Teaching Evolution in the 21st Century

Alumnus David Campbell stresses respect and curiosity

The greatest scientific discoveries all started with curiosity. And it's curiosity that David Campbell '77 tries to instill in his students as he teaches the science of evolution in an environment sometimes hostile to such concepts.

A biology teacher at Ridgeview High School in Orange Park, Fla., Campbell visited campus Feb. 11 during Darwin Days to share his experiences teaching evolution and natural selection—scientific principles that may be contrary to many of his students' religious beliefs.

Introduction by Cornell President Emeritus Hunter R. Rawlings III.
