About Evolution Explainer

What this site is for

The site covers the basics of evolution, the evidence for it, common misconceptions, how evolution shows up in everyday life, and a few small interactive tools that let readers try out the ideas for themselves. Each article links to further reading, so a reader can go as deep as they want.

Who it is written for

The main readers are curious beginners who want a clear answer without a biology degree, students revising for an exam, and teachers who need a quick, accurate explanation they can point a class to. Articles start with plain words and only bring in a technical term once it is needed and explained.

How articles are written

Three rules guide every article on this site. First, the science has to be correct: articles are written to match mainstream, well-established biology, not a single author's opinion. Second, plain language comes first: a hard word is only used after it has been explained in simple terms. Third, claims come with evidence: articles point to real examples and to the sources behind them, instead of just asserting a fact.
