Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be by Daniel Loxton introduces young readers to the fascinating story of life’s development over time. With clear explanations and engaging illustrations, it encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and an understanding of scientific evidence. The book highlights the value of asking questions and exploring how all living things are connected. It inspires readers to appreciate the diversity and wonder of life on Earth.

Evolution enhances our homeschool science curriculum with hands-on, literature-based activities. Here are a few examples:

• Comparative Anatomy Projects: Students examine the similarities and differences in the anatomical structures of various species, underscoring the concept of common descent.
• Fossil Record Analysis: By exploring the fossil evidence presented in the book, learners develop an understanding of how life has changed over geological time scales.
• Natural Selection Simulations: Through engaging experiments and simulations, students witness the principles of natural selection and adaptation in action.
• Evolutionary Tree Mapping: By creating their own phylogenetic trees, homeschoolers visualize the relationships between species.
