Neanderthals in the Classroom examines the ongoing battle surrounding evolution from a cultural and historical perspective and then puts Theodosius Dobzhansky's claim that "e;nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution"e; to the ultimate test by exploring the potential evolutionary roots of this societal and educational clash over human origins.
