- a resource to compare the biographies of Darwin, Anning and Wallace; pupils summarise the similarities and differences between the three scientists, thinking about their upbringing, their education, their explorations, their contributions to science, their fame; they explore how Mary Anning influenced the theories of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace; enables pupils to explain what ‘natural selection’ or ‘survival of the fittest’ means;
- a new resource on the evolution of the cuckoo and the reed warbler and how their relationship adheres to Darwin’s and Wallace’s theory of the ‘survival of the fittest’;
