http://www.pandasthumb.org/. Веб-сайт «Палец панды», названный в честь знаменитого эссе Стивена Гулда, сообщает о свежих открытиях в эволюционной биологии, а также о непрекращающемся противостоянии теории эволюции в Америке.

http://www.talkorigins.org/. Полный онлайн-путеводитель по всем аспектам эволюции, включая лучший свод доказательств эволюции на http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/.

Из множества блогов, посвященных эволюции, особенно рекомендую два. Первый – это «Ткацкий станок» (The Loom) (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom), блог научно-популярного писателя Карла Циммера. Второй – «Эта неделя в эволюции» (This Week in Evolution), блог профессора Корнеллского университета Р. Денисона: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/denis036/thisweekinevolution/. Блог рассказывает о новых открытиях в эволюционной биологии и доступен каждому, кто располагает познаниями в биологии на уровне студента.
