1. Darwinism in the American South -- 2. Race and Evolution in Antebellum Alabama: The Polygenist Prehistory We'd Rather Ignore -- 3. "The Cadillac of Disclaimers": Twenty Years of Official Antievolution in Alabama -- 4. Deconstructing the Alabama Disclaimer with Students: A Powerful Lesson in Evolution, Politics, and Persuasion -- 5. Evolution Acceptance among Preservice Science Teachers in the South -- 6. Evolution Acceptance among Undergraduates in the South -- 7. Religion, Politics, and Science for U.S. Southerners -- 8. Sharing News and Views about Evolution in Social Media -- 9. Resources for Teaching Biological Evolution in the Deep South -- 10. Teaching Louisiana Students about Evolution by Comparing the Anatomy of Fishes and Humans -- 11. Teaching Evolution in Real Time -- 12. Trace Fossils of Alabama: Life in the Coal Age -- 13. What Can the Alabama Mississippians Teach Us about Human Evolution and Behavior? -- 14. Tattooing Commitment, Quality, and Football in Southeastern North America.

This volume reaches beyond the controversy surrounding the teaching and learning of evolution in the United States, specifically in regard to the culture, politics, and beliefs found in the Southeast. The editors argue that despite a deep history of conflict in the region surrounding evolution, there is a wealth of evolution research taking place--from biodiversity in species to cultural evolution and human development. In fact, scientists, educators, and researchers from around the United States have found their niche in the South, where biodiversity is high, culture runs deep, and the pace is just a little bit slower.
