Why Weightlifters Grunt : A Classroom Exercise That Introduces Students to Evolution
The American Biology Teacher
(2019)
Abstract
A classroom exercise is described in which college students take part in creating and supporting an evolutionary hypothesis that explains effort grunting. The exercise holds their interest throughout and readies them to understand hypotheses of animal and plant evolution. It informs them about the dependence of cultural evolution upon biological evolution, and it connects widely to curricula.
